The Quad

[Wilson Spalding]

The middle of campus or your lover's thigh? The Quad is an offering to Sex Geeks, Erotica Nerds and maybe even sapiosexuals who find fascination in the data behind all the sweaty emotions.

Feel free to check out a book, pour a shot of whiskey in your coffee and drop some sex statistics on the group. The librarians won't shush you...



Should probably add that "politics" isn't a dirty word, but if you make an assertion, be civil – and be ready to back it up with some [credible] citations. Honestly, there's some heavy sexual psych and sociology behind every kink in this forum. Let's explore not just the "what" but the "why"...

Welcome!

Data, data, data...

Okay, no controls on the data so take it with a grain of salt, but stuff like PornHub's analytics are incredibly fascinating to me. A little like a drive-by Kinsey Report, it shows numbers and types of searches made, time taken in each section and so on.

Here's a bit that Psychology Today did on it (2018, so recent enough), and I'm going to point out just two (of a million) data points that stood out to me:

• "Amateur" is was one of the categories viewed the longest in the US: 13-14 minutes. Does that correlate with the popularity of "Loving Wives" here at Literotica?
• "Redhead" was one of the categories viewed most briefly: 7-8 minutes. Does that correlate with less interest... or that they just get off faster under a ginger influence? Personally, I'm leaning the latter but I'll admit to confirmation bias...

Thoughts?

One thing I'll say is I think some reports released about popular searches aren't all that accurate-and deliberately so- because if you ask anyone who knows a fair amount about porn(I know probably way too much about porn) the number one searches are step mom step sister

also the word mom...which does not always mean incest, is big.'

example the site "Mommy blows best" is Milfs giving BJ's, but not their son. Mom has now become a synonym for milf in that realm.

Teen and Milf are always at or near the top...meaning if you're a porn star around thirty...you're stuck in limbo

As for times I think amateur has the longest viewing time because the videos on average are longer. Many I've seen 20+ minutes.

I'm have a bit of porn ADD...I tend to watch 8-14 minute clips.

Most of the incest-flavored american porn out there is deliberately pitched to be "step-relations" due to some... interesting laws in this world. This also goes with the 'milf that's not mom' type theme that Lovecraft mentioned.

The problem I have with most of the search term surveys done are that the raw data isn't available. "Figures don't lie but liars figure" has more'n a little truth to it.

I agree. Whatever they say is the top searched in a poll....just go to sites like PH and Red tube X-hamster and click on the days most popular vids and you'll see different results.

I've never understood the issue with incest porn...A because its been around forever...Taboo came out in 1980 and B...these are actors, so what's the problem here?

Amazing that this allegedly progressive country draws a line on not incest, but FICTIONAL incest. When amazon allowed it(and like lit it had to be over 18)n it sold like wildfire...but they gave into some bible thumpers and other alleged pressure and dropped it

B/N carried it for years and made tens of thousands of dollars a month on it...a year ago a new "family values" CEO dropped not only taboo, but a lot of BDSM and other 'nasty stuff" and...oh look who is on the verge of bankruptcy yet again

The sites that do allow it, it does better than any other erotica material. About the only thing close is Doggie porn and lately Hotwife stuff is surging.

Speaking of hotwife/cuck that is becoming one of the big searches of video porn as well

Some other possibilities:

- Maybe the typical "amateur" video is longer than the typical 'redhead', and the difference just reflects how long it takes to watch one or two videos.
- Maybe there's a broader mix of content in "amateur", so it takes viewers longer to find the clip that scratches their itch.
- Maybe the typical "amateur" viewer is older and takes longer to get off.
- Maybe there are gender differences in viewership between the two categories and these affect viewing time.

Without more information, we can only speculate.

(Redheads are hot though, that's fact)

This thread is all about timing. I've spent so many years watching porn that my kinks sort of change after I burn out on something and lately I've been watching amateur wife threesome/sharing vids.

They do tend to be longer, as the good ones have some actual kissing, undressing, a little nerves and even some laughing and fun(which is how you know they're real) and they take their time enjoying the woman, average decent one I've scene is over 20 minutes.

Now when it comes to redheads...that can be anything "Red head gives a BJ in the car" and it can last 5 minutes. Hand job foot job...etc etc so they usually are shorter clips.

And you're preaching to the choir, I married a red head(Sicilian at that) and she is fair, freckled, green eyed, passionate and is strong willed and a bit hot tempered.

She's also ten years younger than me...I'm surprised I'm still alive.

One more note about 'amateur vids"...even though there is a ton of real cuple content and has been for years-who reading this is old enough to remember the original homegrown video series?- a lot of amateur vids are...pros.

In the last week I saw one with Stoya(titled first time shy wife ) and another than featured a young India Summers.

Does Sex Really Boost Your Immune System?

You can't sneeze without hitting some sort of COVID-related issue these days, so the HuffPo recently did an article on the correlation between sex and immunity. Good stuff in there, but the heart of the article cites a study put out by Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, suggesting a link between having sex a few times a week and a strong immune system.

It's worth a read, but the short take-aways for this post: cuddling and kissing carries many of those benefits. Good news for Lit fans: masturbation carries a lot of those benefits, too.

So, how 'bout you? You feeling okay in this lockdown...?

There’s a whole different dynamic to step-stuff, and it even allows for ‘plot’ and ‘character’ ‘development,’ and ever-so-high-minded references to Oedipus. Item 1: Dad and Mom split. (Mom generally doesn’t die; this could make Dad too sympathetic. More likely, Mom loses her looks and Dad unloads her.) Item 2: Dad marries a young hottie, who may or may not have been his mistress. Item 3: Teenage Son (but late enough teen to be legal) misses Mom, hates Dad, and resents Stepmom. Item 4: Stepmom is a golddigger with no great attraction to Dad. Item 5: Dad is at the office all day. Item 6: Stepmom sees Son as maybe what Dad was twenty years ago. Item 7: Son moves on Stepmom both to get back at Dad and, well, because, she’s hot. We’ve all seen this and read this before, but it won’t go away.
