mmmm pornography.....

[neonflux]

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.

My own sense is that if done correctly, it would help to eroticize safer sex - something that some producers of gay male porn have definitely done successfully! Neon

P.S., did I mention that i find some gay male porn hot when in the right mood? (I just ignore the plots, lol)

I will take erotic art hands down any day but I do enjoy gay porn (or caning/flogging type) if I were to actually "watch" something.

i have a fairly large collection of videos on my computer... my favorite is a 2 hour movie of BDSM porn that actually was done well for a change.

when i watch with A i always get so much more turned on then by myself. he enjoys how i squirm in his arms when he instructs me to watch the screen and not look away. porn is more fun with him then it ever is by myself.

P.S., EG, it was what you mentioned about cumming inside your partner that sparked this, so maybe I can blame it on you?

*huffs* Oh suuuuuuurrrrrre blame ME for the adult industry's lack of condom use... I don't wanna watch some guy fucking a gal then beating off and ... Oh. Wait... You mean you blame me about making you think about using condoms. Well then... Nevermind! *blush*

 

[FurryFury]

I have no interest in any pornography that is not text based. Text is my thang.

I particularly dislike the sound tracks of porn.

I don't usually like the pictures either.

However I don't judge others that are into this.

*shrugs*

I call it 'research' sounds so much better when dropped in general conversation. To be honest I play on it more than with it. Vast majority of porn doesn't express a dynamic that I find arousing. As cliched as it sounds the Sex and Submission site is probably the most satisfactory to my levels of interest. Another sight now closed was the Insex site , it was sold to Intersec Interactive a dutch company.

It's quite possible I am looking for a visual rendition of 'da power' in which the sex in itself portrayed is a mere vehicle to convey . I don't use porn in a 'conventional' manner. It has the potential to a transient band-aid 'fix' that as little to nothing to do with potential to orgasm.

I also retain an aversion to printed erotica at the best of times . If I was to give an example of what 'works' for me at an visceral level in print , I remain fairly certain I would be considered out of my mind by all bar those that know me extremely well.

As for art/erotica if an idea is conveyed as opposed to fetish eye candy / best practise rendition of lipstick submissive meets pose No 22 , it might be conducive to just getting flicked into the memory bank. I prefer even in erotica to view a partnership , so much of it is a singular representation of woman . A sincere appreciation for an sadistic idea well expressed during the shoot may inspire from time to time . Expressions of submission this recent contribution is a very powerful image . Yes I am aware the image is not 'porn' , it does however illicit my attention more readily than the former.

Over the years I have discovered that which passes as 'hot button' for me usually wouldn't past muster with most people from discussions I have shared privately . This is not to suggest my desires are deeper , darker or more devious than anyone else , they clearly aren't. One thing I am unable to contend with as far as porn is concerned is with exception of a fleeting second if ( this remains exceptional in itself ) appreciation of the 'dominant' portrayed leans towards that person/character becoming too objectified ( registering as a stranger ) it's actually a turn off.

As far as the use of condoms in pornography as it's already been mentioned several times in this thread. It always makes me smile. Not sure why.

I have to say my porn tastes run the gambit. From FemDom girl on girl to amateur to well scripted good quality and lets not leave out animated japanese porn. The better the acting and story the more I like or just raw nasty scriptless nasty sex. But surpisingly current favorite and reason opened eyes to genre is Isabella Sinclaire's "Tales From the Manor Volume 1" She is totally gorgeous and love her delicious evil mind.

 

[blushrose7]

I've watched my share of porn-the straight vanilla stuff. It certainly...ahem..."works" for me, but not in the same way that erotic lit does. I don't know if I'm just more accustomed to it, or what. Porn orgasms are quicker, but erotic lit orgasms are much more satisfying. Porn doesn't bother me, as long as it's consenting adults, but it's not something I enjoy on a regular basis.

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...

Actually I'm reading that right now... well atleast the first book in the series Guilty Pleasures.

She doesn't have sex in the first book. It drove me nuts. It was a great kick ass character though in the first book. It also had a good story.

I've never been a huge fan of pornography. I understand the hottness, the turn on, etc, but I suppose it would be accurate to say I'd rather be doing, than watching; if I'm alone it just reminds me I'm *not* doing, and if I'm not alone, I'd rather not waste my time watching a movie of other people enjoying themselves.

Really well done erotic photography (particularly B&W), is a totally different story... but it has to be well done. (Cutie earns more snob points...)

Literature, I love- it doesn't matter if it's practical sex research sorts of reading, or erotic short stories, or entire novels, but it has to be well written. My current favorite book is actually a study of erotic fantasies (through literature) from the 17th century forward. The writings are ummm... lets just say they aren't very PC.

 

[graceanne]

I like some erotic photography, but only some. And to tell the truth their are pictures that don't even involve sex or nudity or anything that I find more erotic than a picture of two people fully getting it on. I remember once seeing a picture of a woman, sitting in a straight back chair. Their's a man behind her, with his hands wrapped around her neck. You can't see his face, but you can see hers. She's completely relaxed and trusting. It's probably my absolute favorite erotic photograph I've ever seen.

(Oh, and the last Laurell K Hamilton has the best sex scene in ALL her books. )

They had to stop the guys who were filming Pornos for awhile due to an outbreak and that lead to the use of condoms in professional films and complete up to date std tests. There is even a database with the actors and actresses who have any sort of std's or don't have anything. Ever since Traci Lords or whatever her name was illegally doing movies under the age of 18.

 

[Cherrysweetdeal]

Here's a question for you....

If you could be in a porno and name it whatever the hell you wanted... what would you name it????

"I have more tits than brains'?

Oh I thought it was more to do with AIDS as it came after the highly acclaimed AIDS public awareness campaign, and also required that all porn movies made in Oz carry a short awareness message before anyone was allowed to get their rocks off on the hot stuff. Either way, it managed to get a few people to think, but unfortunately not all, but that is human nature.

I love erotic photography....

Porn has its place as well...

Did I mention that I love erotic photography....

I hope to be able to shoot more of that...

Especially in the later Anita Blake books - Narcissus in Chains really stepped up the sex scenes...

But I digress.

I think ecstatic sub said it perfectly:

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

That's how I feel. I can watch porn when the mood strikes, but it only stimulates the body. The written word also stimulates the mind and makes the pleasure much more explosive.

 

[satindesire]

animated japanese porn.

Hentai!

I don't like porn anymore because my last relationship was totally destroyed by his addiction to it.

Before, I found -very specific- things sexy...HUGE oral fixation here so any oral scene was awesome. Buuut, there's still too many negative memories for me, so I skip the porno for now. Maybe one day I'll grow out of it.

 

[Shankara20]

Text porn just does not do it for me, nor does most commercial porn films. For me it is photos. If you have spent any time following my Sneak-a-peak thread you might have an idea of what turns my crank. I love the human body, in most all of it's presentation - I can get a turn-on looking at photos of the body of a 65+ as much as a 25 year old.

I collect and use for turn-on photos of naked people, mostly of real people who have posted their own photos. I go enjoy photos of couples having sex, MM, MF and few FF. I get real heat from pile-o-sex photos, MMMMMMM, or MFFFFFFFF, or FMMMMMMM, or MFMFMFMFMFMFMFMFM. Hard male body parts are of high regard for turn-on. Then there are the money shot photos, these hold a very special place in my loins, errr , heart. I even have developed a low level kink for photos of the look one sort of the male precious fluid and a bit of turn off for the look of another sort. I have downloaded a large collection of amateur videos of men pleasuring themselves, these have been posted by the men themselves and I get so much heat while watching them - and even have posted several of myself

I do not enjoy photos that look like any person is forced or not there by choice. I am concerned about stories of women being forced to make porn or of being driven to it due to economic conditions, much like prostitution as an escape from crushing poverty. I am concerned about porn addition as a way to avoid the struggle to develop interpersonal skills. And I am bothered that I do not have answers of how to allow for the free sexual expression while assuring people are not exploited for business reasons.

Thanks for this thread, it gives a forum to discuss the attraction, repulsion and/or confusion with porn.

Well never thought of a movie name. I did come up with my name if was in one:"Extra Helping, cause everyone wants one."
So that being said I suppose "Bondage Buffet" starring Extra Helping.

Well I don't watch porn if have a warm body next to me. I mean I have way too many ideas of what want to do in my own unfilmed epics.
