Porn: Where has all the eroticism gone?

[pinkhighlighter]

I can barely even watch porn anymore. For the most part, it got boring and repetitive.

U hit it on the head...as well as raising the topic of my BIGGEST pet peeve about porn..the obvious fake obnoxious overacting..omg it's so bad I usually turn the volume all the way down or it's just useless

Which is why slow, seductive amateur porn is preferable.... xvideos has a lot of the variety you want, or need...

It's purely a personal preference here but I prefer to fantasize about women that I know. To me, it's like the difference between a black and white and color photo. Another issue I have is the unrealistic proportions of the actors and actresses they choose. It not only sets up an unrealistic expectation for younger viewers as they mature but also continues to glorify objectification of the human body rather than the human as a whole. At least in reading I can fill in my own blanks.

Porn needs female directors and producers. Miss the seductions of the older videos, which had more "story" and better pacing. Also, love to see older women with more natural bodies and who have more "take charge" libidos.

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?

Hi likiti

I'm still playing with my boobies while thinking about Philip Roth.

I have a vision of porn inspired by the great film work of Luis Buñuel.

Such films will be explicit and visceral.

They will depict sex at its most extreme, beginning with adults talking about eating the pussy of a woman who is menstruating and about getting covered with cum in a homosexual orgy.

The emphasis will be on civilizing Americans about public and appropriate sex, anal sex and prostitution, my three areas of concentration.

The essential story lines will involve occasions, episodes, and events in which raw sex intrudes in standard social situations.

E.g. a brilliant cis female CEO of a major property firm demands that staff engage in original and imaginative sex acts during business meetings. Mere masturbation is insufficient.

Alternate plot: consumer products developers subject prospective investors to psychedelic drugs and then compel them to participate in photo sessions of sex with enraged pangolins and other endangered species.

Beautiful actors, sets, costumes. Incredibly great soundtracks.

Room for CGI.

Emphasis on humor and social critique.

I have a theory. Let's say that there is porn in general and porn in particular.

Porn in general is the one described in the opening post. Its function is to please everybody. It is erotic, and so on.

Then there is porn in particular, designed to please a certain fetish or cluster of related fetishes. It only needs to focus on one thing to do its job, and being erotic does not really add production value.

As porn proliferated and became ubiquitous, it gravitated to porn in particular since that usually wins out. If you want to see anal sex, there really is no need -- or desire -- to sit through 15 minutes of "fast forward moments" to get to what will really satisfy you when you can chose to watch anal themed porn from the start.

I like the intricate story porn from Japan, except most are censored and most don't have subtitles (and I dont speak Japanese). But the concept is cool, they develop a real story. It's amazing how erotic a good story can be. Perfect bodies are nice for the eyes, but if your mind is turned on, it takes the excitement to another level.

In the 70s and 80s they made efforts to have real stories for a “solid” 1.5 hours!

Oh my, I still dream of Kay Parker in Taboo!

As has been said above, there's porn and there's porn. On sites like fuq there's dozens, nay hundreds of categories, catering to a wide variety of tastes. Your tastes would have to be pretty extreme not to find something to get your rocks off. Personally, I try to avoid the big companies with their improbably sized models and faintly needy approach. I prefer things either tastefully lit and shot, or at the opposite end, more amateurish, where the bad lighting and bungled camera angles can't disguise that these people are doing it because they like it. The latter's authenticity is what's arousing.
However, even the stuff I enjoy does rather start to pall after a while. It's been said more than once that sex happens betwen our ears and this is the reason for the success of sites like this. Our imagination does a better job than any but the most exceptional filmmaker. Although, even here, there's a lot of dross! And even if it isn't, I sometimes find myself baffled that something so, for want of a better word, corny, get's so many upvotes. Possibly I'm too picky.

The Yanks and Ersties videos are supposedly produced and directed by women, and their stuff is a notch or two above the average.

Some years ago my first wife and I got far more enjoyment from a couple of series of films made by female directors, as I recall we watched them on Red Hot Dutch. Some of those didn't even show penetration, but were extremely erotic.

Porn is becoming more difficult to access for a bunch of reasons. The most obvious reason now is age verification in some states. The one that will eventually apply everywhere is the rising cost of hosting video on the internet, in electricity, hardware, and competent maintenance techs. With the internet porn age winding down, I am editing my collection to make some room for a bit more while it's still easy enough to get.

 

[Beholders_Eye]

My sense is that, when using the term 'porn', people are thinking of/referring to videos. I find that still pictures and GIF's provide much more stimulation than videos. I look for imagery that I consider to be 'erotica' instead of 'porn. That may be a distinction without a difference, but it works for me. Also, there are erotic stories such as Literotica offers and I almost invariably include them in my concupiscent activities.

I live in a state where the major video sources are not available anyway. But several image hosting sites are available and I make the most of them.

 

[Dunes_et_Soleil]

Partly because of a lack of eroticism in films and books, I decided to try writing some stories myself.

It makes me think of Rule 34. Apparently this states if it exists there will be porn of it, no exceptions. AI makes it even easier to generate it.

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.

Facial expression is one of the criteria I select porn for. Those who look like they are having fun and enjoying the moment get further look. Those who look like zombies or look bored or scared do not. It is true that many of the porn houses seem to over emphasize large boobs and shaved pussy but that is not exclusively what they offer. There are plenty of pictures that do have all the things that appeal to me. But I have to look for them. I filter my searches with "trimmed" or "hairy" or whatever I like and that helps narrow the search. There were not nearly so many different porn models and pictures in the 60s and 70s as there are on line today. Yes, there are some girls with hot bods that I wish had pussy hair or at least a happy, come on look on her face and in her eyes. But I pass on them and keep looking. The images you want are out there. It's just a matter of sorting through the crap to find the good ones.

I've turned to gifs, and b&w gifs in particular. Stills don't do it for me and never really did. And I've been consuming porn for a long, long, long time.

Videos the same, and for all the reasons everyone's mentioned.

But gifs are a different story. They leave open the question of how did they get here? Let your mind fill in that blank. And the same thing on the other end. Where did this lead?

One of my favorites, while not explicit, is
this one. It evokes something that causes things to stir in my loins. And yet, it's so simple.

Much more explicit, I'm enthralled wondering if he's going to stay focused on her clit area? Or try to penetrate her pussy with that tongue, his beard scratching her pussy lips? Or will he go all the way back to her other hole? Also too, it leaves me wondering what she's wishing for....

So many questions makes things more erotic for me. Just my take.

Porn used to be a business developed and made by "film" people. The emphasis being on business. Yes it was porn, but it had a plot ( even if slim one), genre, multiple of actors, locations, costumes, wardrobe, art dept. etc... At those times the budgets were in 100's of thousands. All was shot on film. Then came VHS and things started to change, people could copy ( steal) others content and share it, so less options for "business". Then, with DVDs the copying ( stealing) got better and faster, never mind today, where push of a button a thief can upload a stolen movie to 100's of tubes and live from clicks (CPMs). So very little " business" was left. With VHS came the ability to make " home /gonzo" porn....with DVDs.... yada yada...and today ? Any idiot with a phone can be a " porn producer". And there you have it, 99% of today's porn is shit

I'm with you. And, btw, you have great taste.

I prefer B&W over color, and gifs over stills.

Pro porn is horrible. The homemade stuff that is being wiped off of the web is so much better. The lighting, angles, sound and even the appearance of the participants is often bad but at least the actions, reactions and outcomes are real.

 

[Zootonius]

I sometimes wax nostalgic about porn from the 80s, the reality is it's no better than today. For the most part, the actors perform for the camera. There is rarely any sense of connection or legitimacy between them. The performer may as well be masturbating. And kill the cumshot! I don't need to see that the guy really came. Their reaction's should be enough. And real people rarely do it.

A little eye contact, maybe. A little more foreplay to make it seem like the actors care about pleasing their partners.

In some ways, I find softcore more erotic. Without the explicit act, the performers actually have to act like their enjoying their partner.
