Hope no-one minds me asking a question here but I'm fascinated by how people use pornography to masturbate to. With the advent of the internet I know that there are loads of websites with images on but I still prefer the printed page for my fantasies and I've always had a love of pictures to stimulate me, right from an early age. However its not a subject which often comes up and I wonder if anyone else has any opinions on this.

I usually have two or three of the usual porno mags by the bed which I use when I want to jack off, but I also find a whole lot of other things horny too - my wife happily gives me her underwear catalogues if she is "not in the mood" because she knows I love to wank over the pictures, and I also like the "Glossy" womens magazines which have pictures of models and famous people in which I often find arousing. I usually cum by focusing on one model, who is usually wearing something shiny or glossy, (can be anything, bra, panties, lingerie, dress) and imagine that she is kneeling infront of me watching me while I wank and then being sprayed with my sperm.

I often find partially clothed women more erotic than fully naked and certain colours of clothes are better - shiny white satin is the best !! But I do find that printed pictures are better than the internet - maybe its the time it takes to find suitable sites on the net ?. Don't know

So what do others think ? web or printed page ??
 
There is no one medium that will get me going. I kinda wonder around a bit till something gets my mind flowing. That could be a good story, a picture, internet short movie etc. I do have to agree partially clothed is way more sexy then completely nude imho.
 
Personally still pictures don't do it for me (which is typical for women) but movies or stories are both good.

I love the internet for the stories because 1. the internet is free, and 2. no one even sells collections of the kind of stories I would be looking for. I don't masturbate while reading, I do so afterwards in bed, but someone who did so right at the computer would probably appreciate that computers are relatively hands-free. Also those of us who write erotica get as aroused writing it as reading it, and the computer is where most people write unless they prefer to do their first draft longhand.

Movies, I personally would rather watch anime porn than porn with real actors, and again I have the problem that not many exist on subjects that I'm interested in, and the ones that do often only the Japanese originals can be purchased while I need English subtitled ones.



Oh for websites with women in the clothing described, there's lots of websites selling lingerie and clubwear. Some companies like Fredricks of Hollywood provide online pdf versions of their catalogs. Also movies of catwalk fashion shows could be good if you don't mind the models tending to be absurdly tall and skinny. Maybe Lane Bryant (plus size lingerie) might have models with actual curves.

Depends on my mood...

Sometimes pictures, sometimes movies, sometimes stories (the stories have to be sensual and well written... nothing breaks the mood like bad grammar.) I have to say, never magazines. I can appreciate the beauty, but they never really get me there...
 
Pornography comes in many forms. What may be deemed as pornographic changes dramatically from one person to the other too.
I like to look at the different forms of media, online and offline. What takes me to the edge though is the written word. Well written, descriptive, detailed words.
Much like when you read a book and can't put it down. You can read every little nuance, innuendo and thought, of all the characters. Movie versions are never as good as the book.
 
Movies first, stories second. Pictures don't get me going by themselves.
 
It would be lovely to keep this on the GLBT topic...can anybody tell me if there is a difference for what kind of porn gets you going per format? Like, watching videos of gay guys is hotter than reading about it, but you'd rather just look at pictures of a guy and a girl getting it on? :)

Both get me going, the idea of gay porn is very exciting, but more exciting than it actually is. Hetero porn if both parties are good looking and involved is the best for me.
 
I dunno maybe I'm weird but, I can appreciate a woman's beauty visually, but I don't have any interest in female personalities and I tend to be more jealous of romance heroines than sympathetic with them, so I'd rather avoid reading erotica with female characters. I do read het romance novels, I just would always rather be reading about 2 guys.
 
With print, you can use yout imagination, so its easier to get turned on, but with e if i wanna see a hot girl, and am too tired to use my iagination, then film comes in
 
For me, it is watching gay videos, lesbian is all about reading it, and straight I go either way. Which is good cause he likes me to find good straight movies and do me while watching them. :D

Course I do enjoy watching lesbian videos, but not very often and never for very long, the videos are always all about open mouth kissing with just the tongues touching and dildo/strap on play, rarely is there much actual licking. Total turn off for me, i want a woman for all the things that men can't give me, not because they have breasts and a pussy hidden under a strap on. :rolleyes:
 
Porn has played an interesting role in my sexuality. Though I was definitely always attracted to hairy, muscular, masculine men, I had no idea how to approach them plus I had religious hangups about it. The summer I graduated from high school I worked at my little towns golf course. Sometimes it was closer to go to the little park's restroom than it was to walk all the way back to the country club's main building's restroom. One day I found that someone had stashed porn in the park's restroom. Though it was straight porn, it had some naked pics of guys too. It wasn't the first time I had ever seen porn, but it is why I started going to public restrooms. I didn't go there with any idea of sex going on there. Rather, I figured it is where guys threw away porn because they didn't want their parents, wives, kids, girlfriends, whomever to find it in their car, or their homes. Much later after reading the writing on the walls and seeing glory holes did I realize that so much more happens in restrooms besides the occasional dumping of porn.

As to my preference with porn, I'm pretty picky. I think in order of preference it would be: written, then non-solo action (video preferred over action stills), then male solo action (only if the guy is playing with his ass and has a cum shot -- if he is just wanking I'll fall asleep watching it), naked still life, and then finally audio only moaning which really does next to nothing for me. As far as magazine vs online. That evolved over time. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, the resolution was SO low for online stuff, my online activity was limited to stories. Now with higher resolution the norm, I don't know why anybody would want a glossy mag as it is most likely to get worn out if used too much.

Among those preferences, I have to have specific scenarios. The guy needs to be manly and handsome in my books. If he is twinky looking or totally smooth with little muscle, then it reminds me of pedo porn which completely turns me off. If the focus is on his cock, it is another turn off. The focus needs to be on his ass and or his mouth. He can be servicing other males, females, chicks with dicks, whatever. In summary the focus of the porn would be on a very manly man who's primary sex organ is not his penis and his greatest pleasure is getting others off by any means possible that doesn't involve his penis.

I admit I look at way too much porn, but it is more because my tastes are very specific and have been the same since I was a child. Thus, I have to do some hunting since so much porn is straight and/or when what I consider a hot guy is involved the focus is always on his penis. I would also add that some of the porn from earlier years had hotter looking guys -- less plastic looking with all the twinkish /shaved look. However, in the old porn, they did poor job on lighting and some of the audio is really cheesy.
 
There were the catalogs that I liked to look at when I was young and before learning to masturbate. I liked the lingerie sections. My older brother stole a Playboy magazine from a bookstore and I liked the pictures.

Then I learned to masturbate and my imagination took over. When I was 15, I was riding my bicycle home from drivers ed training and I saw a book in the ditch. It was a fuck book, pulp porn and I jerked off mightily after reading it. I had a lot of religious hangups and felt like I was damned for jerking off, but I couldn't stop. When I was 16, I went to a Bible camp and decided to stop jerking off and stop all the things that were sinful. I threw away the fuck book and the stolen Playboy.

That lasted for about two weeks. I really wanted to jerk off, but it was a sin. My cock was so sensitive and got hard all the time. When I finally jerked off again, I came in rivers of cum. I have never had that much cum again.

When I was a soldier, there were always soft porn mags and fuck books around, and I jerked off to them.

These days, I like 'first time gay' fiction and pictures of women who are portrayed as more than an open shaved vagina. Guys getting seduced into have sex with men for the first time really do it for me.
 
i find tht hearing the moans turn me on more than anything ... i love a good story tht invokes a sweet image ... and i'll admit tht some of the avatars around here r very stimulating ... though its the ones tht r suggestive or giving a small peek the *prize* tht i like ... but there is nothing like hearing a woman or a man for tht fact moan aloud to the wonderful fuck tht thy r getting
 
for me its hearing a lady moan! ooo nothing gets me going more then that. I love watching them touch themselves and hearing the. Still photos not so much and stories i have to be in the mood.

I am completely with you on this. The sounds are what do it for me. That carries through into stories as well, and thats why I like AddieQ so much.

In movies, I also like there to be, if not plot, then dialog. There's a site I used to belong to called Sapphicerotica.com
It used to be great, but then the guy switched (like many sites) from using american women, who talked and interacted, to eastern european (I'm guessing) who don't speak english and don't speak to each other much at all.
 
I like pictures, but I can't masturbate to them. I started watching movies young and they are my first choice, but not always practical. I discovered Penthouse Forums and Variations books when I was 17 and I have enjoyed stories ever since.

I like my porn hardcore- no extraneous plot please. I don't need dialogue either but some nasty talk is good. My favorite is girl-on-girl spanking, pussy whipping and domination. I am so addicted to whippedass.com! And while it's lovely to watch, I can't get off on a girl going solo unless it involves ass play.
 
Porn: Love it or Leave It

Being almost 60, porn started out in my teen years with the Sears Catalog and the National Geographic. My father was not into porn and so there were no hidden stacks of magazines anywhere in the house. My mother was and still is a saint and so I was never interested in her undergarments.
In later years after I was on my own, the only options were magazines like Playboy and Penthouse and even then air-brushing was an art form where there were no overt displays of genitalia.
I remember that I found a hard-core magazine that featured blowjobs. Talk about mind-blowing. It featured both straight and gay BJs and that probably awakened a latent side of me that could appreciate men as well. By the time I was through with it, I could no longer turn the pages as they were all stuck together (lol).
Then came the ABSs which abounded in the big and mid-size cities. Most magazines were wrapped in cellophane but the front and back covers provided enough masturbatory fodder soldered into the brain to take back home, although I've walked out many times with my pants soaked (lol). Interestingly I never discovered the "back" rooms with the token- or coin-based movies with the glory holes by the time the ABSs were starting to close down in many jurisdictions.
It wasn't until I was in my early to mid 40s when the VHS tapes came out. I rented movies of every genre. It didn't take long though to know that my favorite button on the remote control was the fast-forwarding button. Movies were so genitally focused. To be honest, how long can you look at a blowjob or fucking for even a minute, no matter your sexual preference? It still happens nowadays but with less frequency, but film looping was pretty prevalent in the older VHS tapes.
Then came the Internet. I am probably a porn junkie, although I don't like to call myself that. Instead of spending valuable gas money to go downtown to the nearest and nowadays rare ABS stores to rent movies, I spend all my porn money here. I probably don't need to spend a penny as there is so much that is free on the Internet.
But Internet porn can be like that anywhere else. It can get repetitious. Again, my favorite place to point the mouse is the fast-forwarding feature of WMP or other movie formats.
Porn can be very interesting but those who produce it have only one thing in mind: to take advantage of the many suckers out there who are willing to pay for their product (and yes, I admit, that includes me).
To be continued...
 
Porn: Love It or Leave It (continued)

With the evolution of my porn history which I described in the previous post, it should be obvious to most that I am always looking for something new. To be honest, there isn't much further than I can go. I have covered almost any porn gambit there can be with the exception of course of the obviously sick forms of porn as scat or extreme BSDM with its strangulation features or knife-wielding sickies. (As far as I am concerned, these particular forms of sexual dynamics don't even belong in the sphere of porn. Those are troubled people who really need psychiatric intervention. I am absolutely and unequiovcally not into it, but I can give way to a guy wearing panties or other forms of cross-dressing. He is not hurting anyone. Sometimes when he is sticking out his butt though, I have a hard time holding back, lol.)
I think that Literotica provides a spectrum of the different ranges of porn through its written word. This is why I enjoy it so much. Again, I avoid those that I don't like in its groupings: BSDM, but even its Romantic category, which does nothing for me. I don't even like Romantic movies of the PG13, or even R catergory in conventional movies. Gals have a different mindset than we guys do but I do appreciate that they get something out of it. (Interestingly in Literotica, in the category of masturbation, I have some wonderful stories to share, but I won't because overwhelmingly most in that category are female. What's with that? Men masturbate too.)
Which leads to the observation that most visual porn (or even in literary porn), no matter the format, it is geared for the male. There are very few movies that women enjoy. My wife falls asleep whenever I put in a x-rated movie in the machine and I am as horny as shit with no option to use but my hand but would much rather have another human interaction. (There is nothing worse than waking up a wife in moments like these. Even if I do wake her up where she might be horny but is pissed off nevertheless, she can squeeze my balls to the point that even I get turned off and that is a tall order.) And of course there is that preresquisite female on female scene in so many straight porn films and there is nothing that turns my wife off more than that. I might enjoy those some but she squeezes my balls even harder and I am willing to swear off porn forever.
Porn nowadays is geared towards the age of the person which is always the younger the better. Most people are turned off by anyone who are over 25 or 30. And heaven knows that I am double that age. Whenever I see the name Amber or Justin I just know that I will have to go on to the next Literotica story. It's not to disparage young people who contribute to this wonderful world of porn, but with young people, their range of sexuality is not as wide as those who have gone through the whole range of experience. This includes mature writing which I know can be more of a challenge than the mental effort calls for. Hell, I am having a hard time even writing this post.
And to those young people who pooh-pah us older people as being way past our prime and no longer worth consideration in any way, shape or form and we get the word "ugh" from you, I can guarantee that you will be where we are in the blink of the eye. That's how fast time goes. I was you yesterday and tomorrow you will be me. To give young people a break though, there are many mature guys who are so focused on the younger the better that it almost borders on pedophilia. The magic age of18 keeps them from getting into trouble. And then you even wonder.
My goodness, I covered more territory than I intended to. I had to get a lot off my mind.

interesting

Porn has grown to match all sorts of fantasies today. There are so many different subject matters and fetishes it is almost overwhelming. I enjoy the Real Sex Series on HBO that covers the majority of sexual behaviors and endeavors.
I admit to enjoying porn. I will gladly watch a porn with my husband or alone. However, a person can watch too much porn as it desensitizes the effect. When this happens, I lean toward writing my own, looking for strange fetishes like leather sex or something..or rape scenerios. OR, I will just cool it with porn for a month or so. I notice after avoiding it, and coming back I am easily aroused.
 
Being almost 60, porn started out in my teen years with the Sears Catalog and the National Geographic. My father was not into porn and so there were no hidden stacks of magazines anywhere in the house."

I had almost forgotten about Sears. Being more excited by guys, my experience might be a bit different than yours, but similar mediums of outlet. I used to love the men's underware section as well as the winter catalog's robe section. There wasn't much flesh, but it was much better than nothing. National Geographic wasn't my thing. Once in a blue moon, an issue might have a beach picture from southern Europe, Australia, North America, etc. Otherwise, very few pictures revealed much skin from the kinds of guys that turned me on: hairy being the predominate interest.

I too remember the mags wrapped in cellophane. Unlike you I did discover the back rooms. It was all VERY addictive to me -- both the porn and even more so the actual sex. I have a very strong streak of shyness that I think the porn kind of reinforced my shyness due to its lack of actual human interaction, the actual sex forced me out of that mode. Sure some guys do exclusively glory holes, but that seldom did anything for me. I'm not glorifying the sex I got into (ABS, parks, and a few baths), but there were parts of it that were comforting beyond just "getting off". Keep in mind that I'm speaking purely from the man on man perspective -- not bi or str8. I have found that during and after sex with a guy are some of the most intense mental/emotional male/male bonding moments I have ever experienced. (No, I'm not talking specifically about physically kissing/hugging as seem to freak a lot of bisexual guys on this board.) What I mean is I have had guys open up and talk about their fears, their joys, their past, present, future. It wasn't like being a bartender as these guys were sober. Not every encounter lead to this kind of intense exchange, but many did. My only regret is that I wish FOR THEM that instead of opening up with me it had been with the person that they really loved. For example, I remember a gay guy who love his lover dearly. He had no desire to ever leave him, but the sex had become brotherly. I asked him if his partner had gotten unattractive from being out of shape, from aging, from some disfigurement. He said his partner was VERY attractive. However, it had become hard for him to lust after his partner because their close relationship had made it hard to "objectify" him. (I hate to say it, but there is a part sexuality that needs to be a bit of selfish raw objectifying.) I didn't think I could every really understand, but I think I do now.

Anyway, back on the topic of just porn. Yes, I can be addicted to porn at times, however, I use it for medicinal purposes. My partner is the guy I plan on spending the rest of my life with. He is not just a receptical for my cum. So there are times I need to be a gentleman. Getting that horny "edge" calmed down is a lot quicker and easier if Mr Right Hand has a bit of porn to help out.

As to youth and porn, I don't begrudge the youth due to lots of them preferring other young people. That is nothing to apologize about. The only time I don't like it is when they are cruel for no reason. In all fairness, some older guys get so obsessed by youth that they are rude to guys from their own age, and really pushy towards the youth. They kind of make fools of themselves, and I can understand young people being rather rude to such older guys as some of them just cannot keep their hands to themselves.
 
More Porn Likes or Dislikes

None2_None2, I enjoyed your synopsis of porn both the most recent and the previous one. Your post prompted to write my own long one.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you have been more adventuresome than I am when it comes to experimenting with guys. But I hope you don't misunderstand me either as I find sex with men quite exciting and I have had done my share in bisexuality. It's just that I never knew what was going on behind the bead curtain in the back of ABS stores. Maybe I am glad that I never knew.
I think that my own experience with any kind of interest in men is different than most guys who claim to be straight or bi-curious. There seems to be a fascination with the cock. Most claim that they aren't interested in any more than the appendage and I can understand that. What drew me though was not their cock but their balls. I started paying more attention to those floppy balls in straight porn than I would the pussy itself. I drew myself away from those film clips where the balls weren't prominent, drawn up or some such. In time I found myself wanting to be behind those balls licking them. Of course also in time I expanded myself to wanting a bit more and for a tongue, the nether territory extends from the cock top all the way to the asshole.
(Don't forget though that I still love pussy more than anything, lol.)
So, in my case, it was balls that led me to recognizing my bisexuality.
It's to each their own, but as for me, I know my interest in men (through their balls) was contingent on their masculinity. Why would I even have an interest, in admitting my bisexuality, if it wasn't a man? That's basically what it is about. The more fem they are the less attractive they are. The flip side is that he is a man exuding masculinity. The more hair the better. I am not one to complain about a getting a hair caught between my teeth. That's what flossing is about anyway.
So, I think you and I are on the same boat on this aspect. I might still be a bit more circumspect but then I have a wife to contend with and certainly wouldn't want to rock the boat in being careless in my connections. But only yesterday I met in a guy in the park and you don't know badly I wanted to give up on my circumspection (lol). It was a missed opportunity but he indeed had the best looking set of balls that I had ever seen. He wanted to be careless and I didn't, but I did have a nice handful.

None2_None2, I enjoyed your synopsis of porn both the most recent and the previous one. Your post prompted to write my own long one.

Thanks for the complement. I just wish my cock was longer than my writings. Probably I (and more importantly others) would get more pleasure out of such a swap.

1) I was way too adventurous - to the point that I was in 12 step for a while. You are probably better not having gone down that path as there are a lot of risks: health, safety, and sanity from the wasted hours obsessed in the pursuit of sex. Think of it as living in a all-u-can-eat buffet restaurant. Some people can dabble in things and come out unscathed, other people (as was my case) just go a bit over board.

2) I can only relate to a single fettish up to a point. Mine in order was: body hair, asses, muscle, manily & handsome faces, balls, pre-cum drippings, hands, chest, back, etc. (FYI, The fettish for balls came after I found out about my own infertility. Then I observed other guy's balls more.) Preferences can really get you hot at first, but over time I find that you really have to like the person. Case in point, I've known plenty of guys who stand and pose and assume your obsessed with them so they can just sit back and take no interest in you. When I see that attitude, I loose interest. I don't care how hairy, muscular, masculine, fuckable they are, it is a turn off. That is where I cannot understand the phrase, I'm only interested in "____" body part. First time, sure maybe. However, the second, third, etc time with the same person, how can that be the case. I'd get bored, irritated, or both if I was with someone incompatible multiple times just for a great body part.

While I'm not a fan of labels, sometimes they do help people understand things. It is easiest to understand me by labeling me gay. I can get very horny, and have done sex for sex only sake. However, there was always the risk of forming a bond -- or at least wanting to. I was never really out when I was younger. I think I chose male friends that I wouldn't be the least attracted to -- a subconscious thing. Where I felt the difference is when having a good time together doing just guy "stuff". My friends grew up and would still like to do those things, but then later that night they wanted to go home to their wives/girlfriends. I was left with no where to go. It wasn't about desiring them sexually, or wanting to marry them. It was just that my place, or my "home" was unknown. I had no aversion to finding a female partner, but neither did I have any urgency to do so either.

Moving to the present, I still do a lot of porn -- namely read stories here or at nifty or look at pics at bearload, but that is it. I have been monogamous to the same guy -- 6 years this coming Labor Day weekend. It is so strange, but I don't get as compulsively horny as I used to get. Perhaps age, and perhaps a settling down. The reason I don't screw around isn't for fear of AIDS or other STD's, but because at 48 I don't have the greatest cock, greatest muscle mass, greatest mind, nor the greatest non-grumpy personality. However, I do have my word. If I say I'm faithful that means I won't screw around if a 3rd guy were to jump in bed with us or if I was on a business trip by myself. Of course it helps that I don't have a strong desire to be with women too. I could see where monogamy is very difficult for bisexuals. It also helps that he is pretty much my type to the T: hairy (chest, arms, legs, butt), muscular (stocky and built like a brick), and OH so accommodating to me being inside him. Plus he is a bit of a pre-cummer AND having big balls and an average cock which makes his balls look that much bigger. (I find myself cupping them sometimes when we sleep.) On the flip side, it is kind of nice having his faithfulness. It still turns me on to think that after sex, it is solely my cum that I can feel and smell inside him with my finger. I get that beaming glee grin -- like the nerdy star on those "Enzyte male enhancement" commercials.

Is he perfect? No. Sure he could loose some weight now (me too) and more top hair (me too) and give up smoking, and be more interested in physical activities (biking, walking, etc), and closer to my tastes in cooking and in finance... Still I'd be a mess without him. As for "ME", the former sex addict, I can go two or three weeks without sex and be OK about it! I used to be the guy that if I didn't fuck (not oral nor JO [though I did that multiple times a day] -- but pure lustful cock in a hot hairy ass) at least once a week I would try to hump the keyholes on doors. Some of the slowdown is probably due to age, but I'm sure a good chunk is just satisfaction. My only regret on the addition is that I could go in spurts of days where I didn't eat -- just hunt for sex. Unfortunately, though the sex had diminished my craving for food hasn't -- and it shows.

Anon2_Anon2, again thanks for covering the spectrum of your porn history.
I might not be as far along as you are in which you admitted that you had to enter a 12-step program, but I'm probably close to there. The saving grace for me here is that if I am busy with other things, I can easily forget any preoccupation that I might think I have with porn. Don't get me wrong though, I still enjoy it immensely.
In sharing information with other people (men and women) I am surprised how few actually enjoy written porn like this Literotica site. One of my favorite features from my Penthouse Magazine years were the letters and so this translated over to the Internet.
Through the written word I can develop in my own mind the pictures I want. Also in Literotica I can pick my favorite genre which include Loving Wives, Group, Gay and various others. As I mentioned before, I tend not to check out those that involve BSDM, Incest, Transexuals and the like at the extreme spectrum of sexuality. I am pretty conventional although most straights would beg to differ in that they consider any kind of bi action as extreme for them.
I think that the most interesting thing about Literotica is that they have never developed a "category" in where male bi sex is a dominant feature, or even minor. I think that the siteowners just want to keep it interesting. Profiles give away a lot though when there is one other than the obligatory "18" and over.
I am impatient no matter with the story line of careless English. Bad English and it doesn't draw my attention in the least. I have impatience with immaturity in story-writing. These include guys with 10-inch cocks or over; they also include stories with un-inventive names like Amber, Crystal, and heaven forbid with male names like Jaymie and other diminuatives like Mikie, etc., and the biggest turnoff of all is any employment of words like "boi" or some such.
I might not be the most careful writer in the world and I will admit that I have not submitted any stories yet, but if I were to write one, I will do my best and I have lots of them to share.
It sounds like I am writing to you, Anon2_Anon2, but I am writing to all of you who are reading these posts. I hope that you contribute your thoughts to this interesting conversation about porn and your favorite expression of it.
 
I like both, but since I get more aroused by verbal and seeing the action, I prefer the web. Amature porn. Not main stream.
