How do you like your porn?

[midwestyankee]

Oh its still out there all right. You just have to look a lot harder to find it.

I hate to be a critic, but I find its the same problem with a lot of lit's stories. Albeit most of them read like some teen's fantasy, and more than a few of them need some serious english lessons.

Good quality porn, either in film or writing, seems to have become and endangered species. You still occasionally find a gem, but its becoming a lot harder as porn itself becomes more common.

OK, for the sheltered suburban crowd, are there any reliable sources of reviews so someone doesn't have to spend the rest of his adult life looking for the few movies per year that contain the eroticism, acting, full-body views, story-line and emotion that people (at least on this thread) seem to want?

I like my porn to have some degree of plausibility. People don't just walk into a room take one look at each other and start fucking. Hustler's "Barely Legal" series has several parts that do this.
I also like real amatuers. The series "Please Fuck my wife" is great. Also, true amatuer filmed pornos are cool. I like to see "real" people hot and horny doing it. It's natural and real.
As for shots I like to see full body shots of the action and short close ups. I like to see man a top with the woman's feet up in the air or resting on the man's shoulders. Doggy style hard and fast is great and either a cum shot in the woman's mouth or a nice creampie finish.

When it comes to photo shoots I've gone full circle, Hardcore is ok, but what really really turns me on is a pretty girl in sexy undies. Its not so much that I have an underwear fetish per se, I think I just got bored of the same old harcore crap, some bored looking flossy have huge cocks stuffed in every orifice ending up with a facial.

Maybe its just the alure in these days of nothing hidden of actually finding a well shot photoset of someone who isnt trying to stuff a forearm or half the neighbourhood up themselves and is wearing knockout lingerie that does the trick.

As for videos? Pretty much given up with them tbh, I think I have one in my collection that isnt a standard "porno" where the girl actually looks like she is having fun and enjoying herself and the sex actually looks pretty real.

As far as print, I sometimes wonder if back in the days when things weren't so graphic (no penetration) and things were meant to be implied if things were that much hotter.

It left a little to the imagination and sometimes that can be pretty powerful.

Especially to those of us with over active imaginations

Tenticals, which I'm probably spelling wrong, is general term for multiple appendages (sp) used during sex. Like the demon monster with 2 massive penises and a half dozen smaller rope like things he wraps around the poor chick.
I know- I'm wierd but hey, I like watching it- combination of funny and erotic for me. Couldn't say why though. *shrugs*
La Blue Girl, Imma Yujo and the Overfiend series are filled with tenticals.

There are several different things I like in my porn.

First and foremost is quality. Perhaps in part because I am a professional photographer, I like to see some professional quality in the pictures/movie. If it was photographed with a disposable camera or someone's shaky camcorder, I lose interest. This is the main reason I don't like amateur stuff.

Attractive women are a must. (who decides what is attractive? I do!) Another reason I prefer pro to amateur porn is because often times the "girl next door" actually resembles the girl who lived next door to me, that is to say, plain and skinny with ratty hair and zits. No, I don't judge women solely on appearance, but I do judge my porn models mostly by that criteria.

I like to see a certain amount of realism - that is to say, competent posing/acting. I like it when the women look like they're really into it and loving it, like they're intensely horny, like they need to fuck so badly they can't stand it. That being the case, I like it when the models focus on each other instead of staring into the camera (and I absolutely despise movies where the cameraman talks to or about the girls - keep your fuckin' mouth shut, asshole, and let me watch this without your interference!)

Notice I've been talking only about women as subject matter. I don't like to see penises in my porn. I have one myself and that's good enough for me. My favorite variety is lesbians, though a good solo sequence is okay in a pinch. In the case of a single girl, I do like it when she looks into the camera.

It's nice if there's a plot or setting. A picture set of two girls in bed together isn't nearly as thrilling as a couple of secretaries in the office, or a stewardess and passenger in flight. Likewise, a movie about people having sex in a bedroom isn't half as much fun as one about eight women stuck on a desert island.

Actual touching is a must. I hate it when two women just pose together. And nothing is more frustrating than when the director cuts away just before they kiss (dammit, that's the best part!)


As to specifics (and remember these are my opinions only):

Good things include lesbians, deep kissing, tit-play, body rubbing, convincing moaning, simultaneous orgasms, makeup (particularly lipstick), femininity, talking dirty, tongues, limited pussy-licking, and most importantly, desire.

Bad things include penises, anal sex, strap-ons, toys of any kind, watersports, mannish women, BDSM, tedious half-hour long pussy licking marathons, musical soundtracks, food-play, and most importantly, non-consent.


Incidently, my favorite porn photographers are Suze Randall and Eric Miller. I don't want to post links because I've had threads deleted for such things, but they're easy enough to find on the web. My favorite pornstar tends to change from time to time, but lately I'm into Veronica Zemanova.

Welcome to life in the burbs! Actually I can commiserate with you. I live in a little town of barely 200 people, the nearest large town (pop 6000) has no adult outlets at all, and the nearest city (Spokane, is nearly 100 miles away).

For those of us living in rural america, finding decent quality porn is exceedingly difficult. I would suggest the thread about watching porn with a girlfriend here in the how to. That lists several titles you might want to check out. And buy over the net.

I think a vast bulk of your objections come from the fact that most of todays' porn spends an inordinate amount of time and closeups on items you'd rather not see.

I don't mind seeing a dick now and then, and I don't mind seeing a penetration shot. What I don't need to see is that same shot, from 3 inches away, and have to sit and watch it for 5 fucking minutes!!

I'd also like a little more realism please. If my wife is any average example, when she orgasms, she looks and sounds nothing like what you see in today's porn. Most of these girls have incredibly tame orgasms, either that, or my wife is really enjoying herself.

FACE SHOTS! No, not facials, I'm talking about seeing the woman's face while she's coming. It simply isn't there in most porn. More full couple shots sans the closeups. I do not need more than 20 seconds of seeing some guy's dick from 3 inches away.

Carnus mentioned imagination, and it can be powerfully erotic if the director had a lick of sense. Instead of seeing all those close ups, if they'd pan back and leave some to the imagination, porn would be a lot more enjoyable I think.

Another thing that gets me is the guys. Here's a guy that fucks for a living, and is so bored by it he "supposedly" can endure 5 minutes of blowjobs, 5 minutes of giving head himself, then 25 minutes of screwing in 49 different positions before blowing his load??? SUPERMAN!!!

I'm not into lesbian films only because I can't help but think "Man, she's so pretty, what a shame she's a lesbian". Yeah I know most of these films are paid actresses just playing a role. But its a image problem. Bi scenes that end up hetero are ok, but again, they are usually too drawn out.

The biggest problem with porn films these days is they wrap 5-6 major sex scenes around the barest excuse of a plot. If they dropped one or two of the scenes in favor of enhancing the plot line, I think they'd still do damn well.

A plot line would be good every now & then.

If not, it might as well be considered a stag/ compilation film at this point.
