Alright guys I am just looking to see what peoples opinions are of pornography. Do you watch it? Do you think its wrong in what it shows or how it depicts certain genders? Is it so horribly unclassy that you aren't willing to watch it? Or is it just one of those things that doesn't do it for ya?
 
i'll watch it, but it's not my primary turn-on. i much prefer the written word to anything. Give me a well-written piece of erotica and i can imagine the characters in my head perfectly.
 
It doesn't do it for me sexually.

I'll watch porn if the subject amuses me, some porn can be hilarious.
I also watch it if I'm curios about a certain kind of kink. i.e. I recently discovered that some people have a balloon fetish, something I've never heard of before, so I watched a few clips on it.
 
it doesn't interest me sexually at all. i've watched it occasionally with boyfriends, but really isn't my cup of tea. i'm not against it, though.

erotic photography, on the other hand... gorgeous! i guess i just don't care to watch people having sex.
 
I find most visual porn to be boring. I mean how many closeup shots of a persons privates can you find before you get bored? I prefer stories, and even then I'm pretty picky.
 
I'm agreeing with everyone else. I can watch it, but it really doesn't do anything for me. I prefer stories and the occasional erotic picture. Besides, mainstream porn is boring, and most BDSM porn is really badly done. I like to laugh at things in porn, though! :D
 
Generally not a fan, but...

I think I'm a real girl in this regard as I am more turned on by the written word than moving imagery. I find most of it boring, particularly most straight stuff - the plots are always silly and I find the artificial look of the almost always surgically altered models/stars a complete turn off... That said, I have a real soft spot in my heart for Fashionistas, but I think that has more to do with Belladonna's stage presence and power than anything else - she's absolutely magnificent and doesn't look as artificial to me as so many hetero-porn stars do.

One of my web/graphics clients produces FtM queer porn that includes kinky elements, so the way he plays with concepts of gender and BDSM conventions is interesting from an intellectual standpoint, but I still don't find it a huge turnon if I watch it for very long. I do find some lesbian-produced porn erotic, particularly when the stars are women who look like real women. Male-on-male can be hot, but again, not for too long.

Good question. Am interested to see how things shake out by both gender and sexual orientation.

P.S., I hate, absolutely hate the softcore porn made for women...

Kenny hates to watch porn with me. I spend the whole time going 'fake, fake, real, fake'.
 
i adooooore hardcore visual pornography, however i'm very picky about what i like. if the film contains roleplay or anyone in costume/dress-up, i'm not interested. if it depicts a woman enjoying (or pretending to enjoy) sex, i'm not interested. if it's "mushy" (lovey-dovey), i'm not interested. if there isn't a strong element of male Domination and female submission, i'm not interested. if there's no element of degradation, i'm not interested.

so that limits the sort of porn i will watch a great deal, but when i find the stuff that meets my criteria, wooo...i'm in heaven. :) i especially love to see gangbangs, forced rough oral, verbal and physical humiliation and degradation, all preferably with white men/black girls. i love it when it's obvious that the woman involved was not expecting what is happening to her and is in way over her head, and quite miserable about it. sometimes you will even see real tears, or better yet, "deadface", where you can tell she's so traumatized she's completely left the building emotionally and mentally. it may sound cruel, but as that's the way sex is for me, that's what i wish to see if i'm going to watch others have sex.

So would you "get off" on watching a woman be raped? Cause that's the only time i EVER had that face....yeah..."deadface"..good name for it, asswipe... cause i WISHED i was dead at that moment.

You don't sound cruel, you sound fucked the hell up, and i don't care if i get shit for saying that....
 
HottieMama...sorry, but as these girls/women consent to be in a hardcore adult film, i wouldn't label unexpected and undesired sexual activity as rape. also, i tend to enjoy/appreciate pornography that i can relate to. i'm a submissive as well as a slave, sex is never intended for my personal pleasure or arousal, and is often difficult, physically demanding, sometimes mean or degrading.

i know what "deadface" is because it's an expression i've had for years at a time. i know what it is to be raped and to be abused, had a childhood chock full of it. however i'm not complaining, i appreciate my current sex life as it's what feels right and natural to me. men being/acting submissive towards women, or women having a ton of loud fake orgasms....not so much. call me whatever rude or inaccurate names you like, this is just me.

Like this?

i guess this is where we fundamentally differ...and part of the reason WHY i have such an adversion to the word "slave." (Beyond societal connotations that i just can't get past.) If what you just posted above, is what it means to be a "slave," No thanks...i'll fucking pass.

I will NEVER understand how someone can enjoy "deadface" and all the emotional crap that goes with it...especially if they have experienced it for real.

HottieMama, I am sorry that you've been there. I have, also, so understand the feelings it can bring up. And I would never want to discount your pain - ever! I do have a number of women in my life who are very dear to me - all of them staunch feminists, the closest of them an academic who does queer theory - who have shared similar desires of wanting "to be erased."

ownedsubgal, I appreciate the absolute honesty of your post your fantasies don't belong to me, they belong to you. I also have gang bang fantasies, although in those I am in control (perhaps one of my ways to turn my rapes inside out, then again, it could just be my personality *chuckle*).

LOL, one of the things which surprised and intrigued F about me was my huge collection of porn...as in more than a few boxes of videos, lots of magazines, and then a good collection of your more erotic type writing. It isn't a necessity, but I did choose to stay single for almost 2 decades and there were times spending a quiet night at home with a video or 2 was more fun than going out with someone who didn't have what it took to keep me simmering. It does have to have a certain element to it to get me really interested, or at least have some angle where I can interpret it in a way which works for me. Good porn is hard to come by, but when you just need some undemanding company, it doesn't have to be very good quality in terms of artistic etc. :D

I never used to like porn because the stuff my husband liked was always 20 yr old 100 lb perfect body types--something I am not. I found vanilla movies always boring.

However, when I was in high school and he and I were dating he took me to a XXX drive in. One of the plots of one of the movies was a woman who willingly submitted to being chained in the basement while different men came in and spanked her and then fucked her. I was so turned on it scared me. That movie, still 25 years later is etched in my mind. I didn't know what BDSM was then or that my fantasies were not all that uncommon. But that movie opened a door inside me that i have never been able to close.

I do not enjoy vanilla porn. I do like gangbang porn, some roleplay, some BDSM porn. I like to see chemisty between the actors.

I hate when the actresses are always looking into the camera.
 
I have to be a pretty strange male...

Vanilla porn movies/videos do very little for me. It's a "yawn, so what? They're fucking. And I'm supposed to get excited watching someone else get laid exactly WHY?" reaction.

Maybe it's because I have absolutely zero empathy for the actors in porn? The plots (if there is one at all) are invariably stupid, being nothing more than an excuse to get from cumshot to cumshot? So I can't identify with what's going on? Maybe because when I have sex, 90% of the time I cum inside my partner, I don't stop and pull out just so I can bust a load in her hair or on her belly? I don't know. *shrugs* I just do not get it.

Hot sex in a good book? That's another story. Anyone else read Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake or Merry Gentry series? ? ? If Hamilton isn't IN the Lifestyle, she's living right next door with the binoculars set up...

I'll agree that most BDSM porn is laughable. But at least it's amusing and thus somewhat entertaining (Kinda like watching C*O*P*S, after 17 years as a law enforcement officer, it's like watching "How NOT to do it..." *LOL*). When I want to learn new tricks though, I'll go to folks who do it for real, not watch a bad video...

This completely left me ROFL! I second, third and fourth your comment, ecstaticsub! :catgrin:
 
OK, I know, know, know that I am going to get in trouble for this - absolutely in trouble, but the health educator in me has just got to do this. It is one of my biggest pet peeves - don't know why but it seems like the lesbian-produced stuff is much better about safer sex (my friend who does FtM porn is good about it, too... even when he includes blood sports in his work)

From LA Daily News.com

"Three years after an HIV outbreak rocked the San Fernando Valley's adult-entertainment industry, Los Angeles health officials say production studios have failed to maintain rigorous safety standards and are imperiling hundreds of performers."

The whole she-bang (very bad pun intended :rolleyes: )

P.S., EG, it was what you mentioned about cumming inside your partner that sparked this, so maybe I can blame it on you?
 
There's something I find funny about watching people with fake body parts fuck like bunnies.

Good thing to bring up. This kind of thing rarely crosses anyone's mind.

As far as I know most black men and women hate that site, for obvious reasons, but I've read your posts and you are simply fucked up enough to get off on it.

The posts you made in a race play thread a while back are the only time I've ever been shocked by anybody's kink.
 
I have noticed that in most if not all the professional porn I have seen lately there has been condom use for vaginal and anal penetration. However, in amature porn that Ihave found on different sites the participants frequently do not use condoms and even brag about going bareback. That kind of stupidity turns me off immediately.

From what I remember, porn in Australia was required to use and be very visible about using condoms in their videos as far back as 10 years ago, maybe further. People thought it would decrease the turn on value, but it didn't seem to have that much of a negative effect on those watching.
