Realistic body types in porn

[grumpyg]

You say po-tay-to - I say po-tah-to…

And there's probably more than a hundred ways of serving it up. Which probably applies equally to writing for Lit. Let's call it a draw.

Deal!

I, too, wish there were more truly "average" or realistic women in porn.

That's the way I like to write them. Many of my main characters usually have a flaw (thick waist, big ears or nose, flat chest, etc.) that keeps them out of the "beauty queen" category. Sometimes they see their sagging breasts or "baby bumps" as reminders that they aren't as classically attractive as they used to be, but they take it in stride and accept themselves for who they are.

So this is clearly linked to age stuff, but really shouldn’t be.

Consider three 18 year olds, A, B and C.

A. Has perfect skin, perfect hair, a toned appearance, a bubble butt, a tiny waist and D cup breasts

B. Has freckles, troublesome hair, is a bit pudgy (aka not toned) in places, has a modest butt, the same tiny waist (but fitting her general frame) and is rather flat chested

C. Has acne, impossible hair, is overweight, has a big wobbly butt, no discernible waist and large droopy breasts

Which is more realistic and is it OK to write porn featuring all of these types of girls?

I'm ... not sure I understand the question?

Of course you can write porn featuring all of these types of girls. But your personal preference is shining through so clearly here just in the way you have posed the question.

You could describe woman C has having thick, sumptuous flesh, wild, untameable hair and deep, soft, generous breasts, for example. It's literally just vocabulary.

If you don't find larger girls erotic, don't write about them. If you want to write about them, do it with an appreciative eye.

As to whether it has to be "realistic" - no, I don't think so, but it has to an element of TRUTH. I can absolutely see why a narrator would look at my version of girl C and be absolutely enchanted by her - but not your version.

Again, maybe I didn't understand the question.

My specific pet peeve is bra and cup size descriptions as something that actually describes a woman's breasts. It doesn't. Her apple-sized breasts are more descriptive than she wore a 32 a cup. The woman's melon breasts were barely contained in her tight-fitting sleeveless t-shirt does more for the imagination than Double D whoopers. 36 25 36 is fine in a song, but you can't know those measurements by looking. This kind of writing, IMHO, is lazy and somewhat offensive, reducing a person to a set of numbers. That's my 2 cents worth, perhaps my opinion is of so little value, I should get change.

I agree so much. There's so much more about breasts than cup size and that isn't even consistent across marks. ETA: and cup size is a relative size mark anyway.

Copy this. Yet the porn dogs still seem to think everyone likes huge breasts described by big numbers. I've had a mother, two sisters, a wife and a daughter, and various different sized lovers, and I still don't know what the numbers mean!

a white bra that's a 36 band size in one brand might require a 38 if the bra is black. Or in another brand the same band size might be so loose your boobs fall out of the cups constantly.

WTF? That is seriously pear shaped!

Possibly not the best expression given the subject of boobage, but you get my drift . Men do get the clothing stuff much easier - belts are still in inches and centimetres both, even in Australia, which has been metric since 1974.

Mind you, I don't know about shirt sizes any more. Apparently, there are XXL and XXXL now.

I thought XXXX was a beer, but it might be a clothing size. Needs an advisory notice on the other size, "Don't eat so much."

XXXX is just two Dos Equis.

For some people cuatros equis is the bare minimum
