Porn: Where has all the eroticism gone?

[NormalMarriedWhiteGuy]

Yeah I know. To each his/her own and whats erotic to one person can often be vulgar to another and vice versa. What ever gets through the night. (It's alright, it's alright) But please hear me out and I don't mean to sound like an old geezer. It's important to note that I am only speaking of pictures. I will address videos in seperate thread.

For me, the more natural look of the ladies in the 60s and 70s was much more erotic that those of today. Of course there are exceptions but the ladies of the 60s and 70s knew how to pose for the camera. The expressions on their faces was more a mixture of seduction and playfullness with a hint of innocence. It's as if they are trying to seduce you. And they were not surgically enhanced.

There is a phoniness to alot of the pictues I see online, here and elsewhere, that just doesn't do it for me. If I want to get off looking at pictures I will look and the ones from the 60s and 70s and into the 80s. I miss the curves. I miss the tanlines. Today, the models are mostly tatted up ( I absolutely hate tatoos), oiled down, often silicone enhanced ,and posed spread eagled to show you their shaved pussy. Not that I have anything against a shaved pussy, but there is certain naturalness of an unshaved but well trimmed one. Modern models do not use playful expressions. The vibe they give off is a simple basic "let's fuck" attitude. It's rare that they are photo shot with soft light. The backgrounds usually stark and barren.

I hope I am not alone in feeling this way. It would be a shame if I was.

I will be 50 this year and my early days of porn was VHS tapes. To this day I prefer a bald pussy. I could care less if a woman has tan lines or not. And I love the Taboo series simply because it is about incest. I didn’t care they look like back then.

Also I don’t miss the 30 minute sex sessions. It would get boring after awhile. A 15 minute video is at times more than I really need. The only time I am interested in watching something that is let’s say on the 15 minute or longer range is when a woman is working up to a REAL orgasm. Usually it is the masturbating ones that have that.

If you eat filet mignon every day pretty soon it's just something to eat.

I agree on a lot of this you said in this statement. I too am a generation where you snuck a magazine from your dads or brothers closet to see a naked chic. I do love a shaved pussy but the all natural furry groomed ones were hot too. I think the hottest chics were the girl next door or fox hunt Polaroids of every day, girlfriends and wives. There was some air brushing but just enough. Playboy never did it for me but that didnt stop me from spilling precious life juice when i saw the nude centerfolds. Silicone tits dont do much for me either and honestly smaller natural tits get me excited.

This is why I started visiting Lit. This is wisdom in black and white. If I watch porn, it because I am seeking something specific. I don't infina-scroll or binge it because I don’t want to become numb to it.

 

[Wylie3]

Agree the art of titillation has gone from current porn, now much more wham bam thank you mam, only girl on girl still has quality especially if the girls really enjoy each other. Was the same with strip tease gave up on that years ago when the girls could only do the same routine regardless of the music, whatever happened to the choreographed show that had a story creating the tease leading to the final disrobing.

 

[Chernosoth]

Porn became corporate.

OMG, the "girl next door" was the very best. Especially when she was smiling, proud to be just what she was, no shame.

 

[Bisexguy70]

Porn is too available. It used to be a journey to sneak it, buy it in secret. The internet has flooded everyone with it. However its still hot, but i think its saturated. I have had to give it up due to the new age laws. I dont feel like scanning my license and face picture to prove my age. I mean damnit im 53 years old. Give me a break!!

The democratization of porn. Back in the day, printing pictures in a mag was expensive, so you wanted to be sure they were good. This meant a good photographer, background, poses by people who knew what they were doing. Now, most pictures are shot in some rando's bedroom with an iphone. Pics are free, just keep taking them and throwing them out there. What you are likely seeing isn't phoniness, but poorly edited reality.

 

[lovecraft68]

Porn is now easily accessible, and every kink is represented on all of the countless sites.

What made porn hot pre internet was it was taboo in itself to watch, and that dirty little thrill is gone.

Everything in moderation is lost on this period of time.

I mostly agree, which is why I consume 98% amateur porn. It is devoid of the ultra polished look. For the same reason I don't like ultra bright lighting either... ruins the atmosphere. But, unlike you, I have grown to love tattoos precisely because it is more seedy, trashy, less polished, more real. Now, a woman without tattoos looks too plain to me. But, I don't like big hairy bushes lol

I’ve said it before, we need a lot less California based porn and more from the rest of the world. Bring back the erotic.

Errr, I come across many international porn sites with different ethnic groups. Maybe try using a VPN.

Thus is not a plea for women to retreat to the kitchen and bedroom IRL, but I'll confess: A little fantasizing and role-playing where the gender roles are sharply differentiated and the erotic energy is generated chiefly by la difference is my idea of fun and where it resonates with a female partner ("hey, maybe there is something to do with this feminine-masculine divide, let's let going!") I am into "can I keep her?" thinking.

 

[BlueEyesInLevis]

Black & white pics seem to capture the passion most porn misses.

Porn = hamburger
Erotica = prime rib

in the tags page. what i mean is porn has covered every aspect, position, person, group, fetish, animal, kink, food, cage...you name it porn has now done it. if there's any taboo act left not sure what it'd be or who would do it but someone would. what's left for the mind to explore when you've seen it all?
