When it comes to porn, I feel like a time traveller:
1970s
In the beginning was Playboy. As a boy I would sometimes see a copy of it that either I or one of my friends would find. Playboy did not show any female genitalia. I remember trying to piece together what it looked like from the dictionary.
Magazines, newspapers, film and television were all censored in regard to sex, among other things, so it was from books that I found out about stuff. My best friend’s older brother did tell me about sex when I was nine, but I did not believe a bit of it. It seemed too improbable. Besides, who would want to do such a disgusting thing? There was sex education at school, but that was mainly about pregnancy and other diseases you could catch from having sex. No pictures of female genitalia either.
1980s
At university copies of Hustler and Penthouse freely made the rounds. Hustler showed everything (or so it seemed). I was too ashamed to buy my own magazines, but not too ashamed to look! There were sex stories in Penthouse Forum. They seemed made up.
In time I got up the courage to buy my own porn magazines. My favourite was Players Girls Pictorial. I would cut out the best pictures and make my own collections. Charmaine Sinclair, Ebony Ayes, Sahara and Jeannie Pepper, Jheri curl and all, are pretty much burned into my brain.
1990s
When I got married porn became less necessary but also much harder to look at. My wife was not above going through my stuff and making a scene. On the other hand, she did have some porno films.
Then came the Internet.
By the late 1990s Internet speeds were fast enough to show photographs and there was plenty of free stuff. On the other hand, you could only look at the Internet on a desktop computer – at home, work or the library. Too public in my case.
2000s
By the early 2000s most Internet pornography disappeared behind pay walls – you had to pay for it. I never did.
Developments in the late 2000s led to:
2010s
The Golden Age of Porn, brought to you by:
- Wireless Internet, laptop computers and smartphones – that let you see porn almost anytime, anywhere – even when you do not want to.
- Internet speeds – ones fast enough to support video.
- Google Images – to find the free stuff. It seems you only have to pay if you are a hardened addict or want high-quality video.
- Tumblr – which allows you to find and follow those on the Internet who share your tastes and create your own collection, which others can then follow and so on.
Doubtless there are other things I do not even know about.
I grew up in such innocent times! Growing up now I would become completely warped and unhappy: I would not be able to separate fact from fantasy.
Update (2015): In the Golden Age of Porn, Playboy stops printing pictures of naked women.
Update (2018): Tumblr, which was kind of the Wild West of porn, will be banning porn as of December 17th. Tumblr has lately been fighting off porn bots. Unable to filter out all the child porn, it has been pulled from Apple’s App Store.

Now this is a fantastic subject….Im very much in favor of porn…my favorite site is porn hub…lets face it, if you want to find out what you like about sex and what might apeal to you, hard core porn is a great place to study…if you want to find out what your partner likes and what might turn them on or if you want to show them something you would like to try, porn is a wonderful way to do it before you get in an awkward situation in bed in real time …like how to lick the balls, which isnt standard on the table sex discusion..great to be able to show examples
at my age, anything that sparks the desire is wonderful…keep that spark going at all costs..if you dont use it you lose it..and i love sex and have no desire to let the spark mold in the background
yes, the internet has brought it to our fingertips in living color in a big fast way…
my favorites are Misty Stone, Marie Luv, Lori Amexia,some other girls I havent memorised their names yet and I will be sure to look up this woman you have above, Abagond
there is no doubt in my mind that these porn videos are really to get me primed up to make love to my significant other…

Abagond,
I think it might be in the local vocabulary. I have already read or heard of “vagina” in the US (and in one or two Jamaican songs !) where in fact the “locus” is the sexual parts.
I guess it simply designate “the goal” !
Personally I don’t like porn. I think it’s too violent (even when it’s not violent porn) and especially too commercial. To me it’s really an expression of the will to possess everything and make big money by Capitalism.
What’s interesting about “sex”, vocabulary and languages/cultures is how the words used to describe sexual activities are really cultural.
In France, 20 sth years ago, you didn’t hear “le sexe”, but “la sexualité”. Now, people use “le sexe” as a translation of “sex” and it clearly designate a “product” you get (by purchasing it or having it as “gift” for someone else).
French people tend to say “make love” (“faire l’amour”) in the place of “have sex”, simply because we don’t have a similar expression. Otherwise it would be “avoir un rapport” (have a -sexual- relationship) or “baiser” (f… – notice I don’t use “…” in French because we are not as “hypocritical” -no offense to anyone, this is another cultural thing- in our use of words. – the “beep” on the radio and TV makes us laugh a lot because they actually reinforce the nature of the hidden words !)
Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was in the US, I noticed how “sex” was spoken of as consumer product as opposed to a “social activity” in French.
“have sex” “have dinner” “have a sandwich”…
“faire l’amour” “dîner” “manger un sandwich”
this is maybe due to the vocabulary involved ? Or reversely…
And to conclude, here is an anecdote.
I was switching channels and saw one of these shows (that I usually never watch) with a very energetic presenter (a tall woman with glasses I think) where people come and expose their personal life to everyone in the audience and TV viewers.
It was about marriage.
And I was SHOCKED. NO ONE, not one person, among those getting married or already married ONCE said “make love”. They all said “have sex”. To me that was appalling ! I would have thought “have sex” (“baiser”) designated casual, one-night-stand, pre-marriage relationship/partnership, NOT for couples of lovers (people in love) who are engaged in a long-lasting relationship. I would have thought they thought of their intimate and loving physical relationship as “making love”…

As a youngster, who went to church and listened to a lot of rap, I was certain sex was only for whores.
One of friend’s in high school lived with her dad and this guy had a huge porn collection. It was kind of disturbing. One night, when he was out, a group of us watched maybe a minute of one before we had to turn it off. It was disgusting and pretty violent. We were all giving her dad the side eye after that.
Cornlia, most of the current American slang for having sex is violent: hitting it, beat it up, banging, bust it, smashing. Most of it comes from rap music, which isn’t usually concerned with love.

Solesearch, your comment made me think of this.
I know some might find it far-stretched (or far-fetched, I never know which one is the one I actually want to express), but I believe that the porn industry (because it is an industry) is a side product (or maybe a main product) of white supremacy. it doesn’t have much to do with actual eroticism which is not an object, it seems to me, but more a product of the mind’s working.
To me all the elements are present, in particular the sexual subjugation of women (“white”, “black” in particular), which is at the core of white supremacy. It functions on all the stereotypes (exoticism and the rest) and focuses on the white man’s sexual “potency” if not “power”. It also acts as a restrainer of potentialities by focusing people on something that they *may* (may !) get addicted to. Especially with the wider possibilities of the web, as Abagond pointed out.
Sexually and politically loaded vocabulary cross in this domain
power, potency, impotence potentialities…
pouvoir, puissance, impuissance
(Sarkozy over-used these aspects of things in his 2007 campaign, which ended with his victory and a speech to the Nation that echoed with triumphant images of rape (of the said Nation).)
I have been wondering about this for a while, so this post is really interesting to me. I’d like to see what everyone has to say.
Is there going to be a male/female dichotomy ? I’m curious…

That is what gets me about the people start throwing in the “sexual exploitation” label…it fogs over the real sexual exploitation
But, all the god dam sexual uptightness and womens lib uptightness just makes people more uptight in general about sex

Porn is just a large compliment to sex education, self discovery, masterbation, couples who want to look at things together to discuss if that is something they want to try, a way to demonstrate to a partner what you like

Porn can be incredibly healthy in a person’s sexual developement , it can help a person learn about themselves, it can show a person things they might have only thought about, it can actualy promote fidelity if the person uses it to make sure they wont cheat on their mate , getting the sexual tension off , if they are on the road, guarenteeing they dont have to be tempted…each person can be affected differantly

It would be interesting to have an African’s take on this. Only recently has porn been sold on the markets (literally) there, next to the nicely piled tomatoes and plantain bananas in the form of piles old video tapes and sun-washed DVDs, together with Disney movies and soap (very good soap).
It has had a disruptive impact as there has been no real “warning” as to the content and kids have had easy access to it (I know because I have witnessed it with kids thinking that “white people” do “that” as a casual and every day activity. It certainly won’t improve the west’s image there !).
Contrary to what B.R. joyously explains, it may not have had such a “positive” impact of the sexual imagination of young Africans. That’s what I noticed in Cameroon, at least. It hasn’t prevented homosexuals from being brutally treated for being who they are. So I don’t think it has prompted much “sexual liberation” so far.

I am not trying to judge people who look at porn, that is their business but I don’t like it. I have strong convictions when it comes to sex. I am heterosexual and I plan on waiting until I am married because I wouldn’t ever want to lose it to a guy that professed to loving me but doesn’t. I hope that doesn’t ever happen to me ever just because………
I am young and going off to college soon and I hope to keep my strong convictions into college because I don’t want to have kids ever. I want to focus on the career I have my sights and goals on, become an published author and find a nice guy to be with.

And to talk about the topic, I don’t separate sensuality and sexuality, I don’t even see how it’s possible. Dancing (in couple) is a huge stimulus and I like to make love, not to “have sex”. Performance is “boring” (that’s probably why I don’t like porn). Closeness of skin is very exciting, not images or sound. Orgasms are very cool and relaxing, and the mutuality of pleasure with my husband is a must for us. I had other partners in my youth and I think that was a good thing. It must be REALLY frustrating to “wait” until marriage ! Woah ! I could never ever have done that. It was not even something that entered my mind. It was obvious to me (but each has his/her way, I even admire those who can wait) that pre-marriage (it’s a huge commitment) experience was “natural”. I just hope you get the right sexual partner when it’s time to get serious…
Talking about doctors: a very famous French “sexologue” has studied thousands of men and women in the course of many years and showed that we do not function in similar ways (women “imagine” and men need stimulus, to put it briefly)… but end up being complementary… if we try to understand the other.

It’s about freedom, but porn can really desensitize your sense of dignity and self-respect, and respect for others.
A lot of porn is about debasing people, but there is a line there, I support sex workers’ rights to do their thing in a libertarian sense, but a lot of 18 year olds get caught up in that whole scene you can see their eyes rollin up in the back of their heads for probably a few different reasons, like here darlin take this and everything will be ok

Omnipresent, your assumtion is if you have a steady partner and you are able to talk and experiment, which porn would still be a great guide to look at and talk between the partner and decide if its worth experimenting…but , that is only if you have a steady partner, you are leaving all the people who want to have sex, have only had a few experiances and arnt with someone steady at the moment, etc out in the dust…porn is still one great way to discover…Im talking about a site that gives you lots of catagories and differant choices
Personally, I think to gain all your experience in this way builds up a lot of false hope and expectations. Its fine if you are at a loose end and fancy a solitary w@nk OR you and the missus want to add a bit of titillation to your sex life but as a learning guide, an introduction WITHOUT some sort of responsible guidance – nah.
Porn is just a large compliment to sex education, self discovery, masterbation, couples who want to look at things together to discuss if that is something they want to try, a way to demonstrate to a partner what you like
I hear you and agree to a certain extent. Just don’t think this is a good introduction to the sexual experience.
I thought this was going to be an enlightening discusion , where we might even exchange great links to check out, talk about new stars we can check out ( ladies there are a lot of men you can lock into as your favorites and pass the news around , which ones have the technique you like), talk about sex, techniques,
Go ahead if you wish – I certainly am not stopping you. It sounds like you have much to share…
Instead it turns into lambasting sexual objectivity and exploitation,the evils of capitalism,pointing out the one nut case that used porn (he probably drank milk too, like all of us did) calling me “dirk diggler”….
Who is criticising your ‘interest’ in sex – not me mate. Your the one ‘lambasting’ others for their sexual objectivity because it doesn’t match with yours. I dont have to come on here talking about ‘style’ and ‘technique ‘ to prove to you that I aint a prude, think what the f*ck you like. I dont go down the pub and brag about what i’ve done or what i’m gonna do either but doesnt mean I dont appreciate hearing, seeing others discuss or re-enact things.Anyway, my motto has always been that those that talk, probably dont do.

What makes you think you are the person who can define the line when porn is bad or where you have to draw the line about it…that is your problem too, Cornlia, you try to make it out like you arent judging but you send so many judgements and implications that you are doing it the right way…and there is something wrong with it and then bring in the capatalism crap…that is why I ran the commie pinko taunt, you all deserve it…lets face it, concervative Republicans are the worst because the rant the most and then get caught doing it…but, this notion its some kind of capatalist racist sexist evil….just makes me want to flee this kind of thinking…no, there is a judgement going out of the sides of peoples mouths
Really , Im laughing at this discusion….our Jewish, Chritian, Muslim religions have ruined us from the start on this, we are all damaged goods about what sex is and how it fits in our lives….How can you make a statement about what is the right way to deal with our young kids ? Young kids, especialy males, have seen porn for the most part before they reach adolescance, its not whether they should or shouldnt, they did , do it and will do it…and , they dont want to be taught sex by their parents…we can only try to get the education into them and hope something sticks, but, they are out there learning for themselves, and we have all been messed up anyway….yeah, at least we have to get them into latex and society needs to be ringing that loudly, but, they are already seeing porn, that isnt an “ought to or not ought to”, its a fact…and I saw it like Abagond sais, when I was younger , sneaked my fathers copy of Tropic of Cancer and left smudge mark finger prints all over the pages that were hot…I found porn at my neighbors house, and , I wish I had seen porn from a very early age…Ive always had a curiosity about sex…I always had a curiosity and wish I could have had the internet like now at 7 or 8
Yes, I feel its healthy, and that is why we are going to have conflict about it, because a lot of implications are that porn is not healthy
I mean, I would be willing to bet that in the percentages of men who beat their women, much fewer of them are porn sex addicts and a lot more of them are abusers of alcohol…funny we get all the expoited women statements but as I said, the real problems that women face in society have nothing to do with porn…but people super impose their judgements
The porn industry is much more aware of sexualy transmitted diseases and have regular testing and if someone has it in the industry, it causes ramifications and closes down sets…it sure doesnt work that way in the dating world, even prostitutes are more aware of how to protect themselves than the average person
the truth is, I know that women love sex as much as men, have a capacity to desire and perform as much as any men, and, can perform in porn , be in control of their business dealing with it and not be exploited…as well as get pleasure from watching it

Also Another factor is it shows the faults of most females – most females don’t have great figures ,photogenic body proportions and exceptionally attractive faces to .
Probably only 10 to 30 percent of the average population.

but , Id be a liar if I didnt admit , I had some one night stands or breif encounters that absolutly rocked my world and marked me for life
I love women who have experiance, and women in porn show uninhibited behavior, they show great “dick knowledge (hades, balls knowledge too)”, heck, a guy could be having sex with unexperianced women and hook up with an experianced woman for one night and he will learn some things he might not know could happen to him…and, men can learn with porn that maybe they have to last a little longer than a minute, and might see some tricks, positions and techniques (kudos to you for knowing oraly how to satisty a woman) that might excite their mate
Society looks down on women who participate in porn or prostitution or who even show that they have the same desires to have many sex partners like men…they are “naughty”, it plays out in many ways including how women dress..in Brazil, who Im not saying is more advanced in sexual attitudes, is much more advanced in sensuality, allowing women to dress incredibly sexy and wear the skimpiest bikinis ever on the beach…yet, in some beaches in Florida, the string bikini was banned in favor of diapors..that is the same mentality that would look down on porn (I dont know the general attitude about porn in Brazil, only that you can access it with no problem like in Cuba, China or North Korea),,there is a societal flow that has the sub concious message that porn is bad, women that have sexual apitites like some men are loose and moraly wrong and that dressing a certain way is not what nice girls do

Omnipresent, you got this back @ss words, I absolutly support porn is not for everyone, and, I dont shoot out of the side of my mouth , that people who dont like porn , have something a little off…but, the general gist of the commenters is that, they personaly dont use porn and might not have something against me using it but they imply its a little unhealthy, has capatalist, racist and sexist undertones…I mean really that is what is coming across here
even though you arnt saying its bad, and dont judge me for using it, you still have an idea in your mind where it is right and wrong..I answered many things you said by saying young males are going to know about porn early on no matter what…there is no “ought to or ought not to , or ought to have sex education first…” they are getting porn and always have and always will….hopefully they will get a sex education too…but from who? Are parents really sexually educated, or are they hung up on the repressed religous dogmas in our society or dont know anything themselves and cant teach…as well as, knowing from raising a kid, they really dont want to hear it from their parents…you can only try to drill in certain things like the dangers of disease and pregnancy…even still, my brother had a daughter who got pregnant and she had to have an abortion..and I know he schooled her…
And, I pointed out, to the people talking about explotation , and sexism, that women face much more violence and abuse in just plain old relationships with men, much more than the porn industry
So, excuse me, but , I dont perceive you have the exact bead and expertice on the subject…my main point is dont judge anyone for using or performing pornography, if they arnt hurting anyone and , if participating,be adult and have mutual adult concentual sex…people should be free to discover themselves sexualy absolutly any way that is best for them, if they dont hurt anyone and have mutual concenting sex among adults…with no judgement on how young people self discover their sexuality, whether with porn or their imagination…Im sure you agree with most of that

its about defending from repressive, moralistic judgements that are ready to imply that watching porn is really not that healthy, or some kind of capatalistic , racist , sexist overtoned nuance that even if they dont condemn I do it, it still may not be so healthy for society
&
now you may be trying to tell me that you dont feel that way, but, you sure are missing the sh!t out of the points im trying to make and putting it back on me like Im trying to judge people for not liking or wanting to watch porn…whitch nothing could be farther from the truth
You seem like you are your own man – but do yourself a favour and let others be individuals too. As the topic of this blog suggests, you are entitled to express your appreciation for porn and the pleasure you get from this but equally people can also state their own feelings, in opposition to yours.
My ‘mistake’ was entering in to banter with you which in hindsight I shouldnt have done as I am an infrequent, unknown commenter – my bad.
This dialogue has gone on far too long considering I disagreed with a small part of your initial comment. It is also detracting from the actual topic so, I shall stop any further discussion with you about this – I dont think I realised it was such an emotive issue for you.

B.R. said to Omnipresent
Like everything else in this capitalistic world (if you hadn’t noticed, B.R., I have news for you, this world is capitalistic) it is. Capitalism, sexism and racism as we know them today (with all their national/cultural variations) are linked and have been since the birth of the “nation states”.
As such, “Capitalism” (Corporate Firms and capitalists) try to make money with anything and everything, including people’s sexuality. Some like it because they are provided with something they take as it is (without trying to analyze it -your case-), others don’t, and others view it from afar (it’s my case) and just see that it is an element of the world of consumption that capitalism has created.
It is interesting to read you on porn after having read you on other topics. It brings a new light to your take on things. Nothing negative in that, just interesting, especially in relation to the way you perceive African cultures. Because most African cultures until very recently at least had no affinity with “porn” (I am not talking about “sexuality”, “sexual practices”, “sexual rituals” and all kinds of things related to sexuality that had a traditional basis). The “market” has brought porn there in a rather aggressive manner (see my post on that above).

Haven’t read all the comments, but my personal take on porn is that it’s aspirational. It’s a fantasy that 90+% of men will never get to experience in real life. You(a man in general) will not get to experience a woman who looks like that or behaves like that-especially not in such scenarios. You’re not going to ever get to bend your attractive female superior over her desk any time soon. You’re not going to be seduced by friends attractive(for her age) mother. Going further with the same thought process, you, average man, are no porn stud. You’re not well endowed like that. You’re not physically ripped like that. You don’t have that kind of virility or gdlk stamina, or orgasmic control. So the public is being sold a series of essentially unattainable fantasies. And based on a handful of recent studies, it’s affecting peoples ability to deal in sexual reality. Perhaps people have a preference for the fantasy.

“Mbeti, perhaps you believe that all women have all the power in matters of sex.”
no just maybe more in this area the way men have more in the area of violence and aggression.
“I doubt if we do to the extent you seem to say. You also seem to attribute that disapproval because some women feel insecure about their physical imperfections. ”
It’s not women’s feelings of insecurity its my objective/subjective perceptions of the quantity of attractive females in a population.
“That affects men, too, surely? Sexual confidence afflicts men immensely.”
Agreed
“However, I believe you may seriously underestimate the very, very common experience of rape and sexual violence that many women and girls justifiably fear, and naturally wish to avoid.”
No I don’t but ,I respectfully appreciate you on behalf of all women reminding me of this sad and unfortunate condition that many women are forced to live with.
Also while it may come as a surprise to you and some other women,men and boys have to live with this same fear and in this case it can be even more traumatic if that’s possible and the only alleged common denominator is the aggressor is usually always a male.
“Some may feel demeaned by pornography if it consistently reinforces sexual myths; like always showing us as readily available and desiring to engage in sex at ANY time, with ANY man, on men’s terms, always, always, always responding positively to any advances men make. This is not how real life works, or how real human beings behave.”
Again I agree
“Not all women want to be dominated, humiliated, and coerced into sex all the time, with anyone! but isn’t this precisely this EROTICIZATION of domination, coercion and humiliation that underpins and reinforces the sexual and cultural attitudes that are complicit in rape and sexual harassment?”
What healthy normal female would??
Most of the porn I’ve watched and 99 percent of the pictures are consensual and voluntary.
By the way ,some women who ARE very physically attractive ,should want to show off and or profit from it??
The domination,humiliation and coercion to the extent it exist ,comes from a particular population of males (not exclusively but primarily) – and any regular of this blog or even the internet in general or the world in particular know who they are – our usual suspects that ,in the early days of visiting this blog ,came here regularly to – dominate humiliate and coerce.

“And what are those pre-suppositions about African sex and sexuality?
That Africans throughout the continent, no matter what their many, many cultures, were somehow more “in touch” and “more free”, and all that.”
I don’t know how in touch some of them where but they damn sure where more FREE – what part of slavery did you miss?
“That idea smells stale and bad, because it smacks of only primitive and brutish, no intellect and all that nonsensical stereotyping of black people.”
really ,I didn’t know ideas had smells – (laughing to myself)
and as to primitive and brutish no intellect – again I blame the usual suspects.

You(a man in general) will not get to experience a woman who looks like that or behaves like that-especially not in such scenarios.

You’re not going to ever get to bend your attractive female superior over her desk any time soon. You’re not going to be seduced by friends attractive(for her age) mother.
95 percent of the time those are b.s. inapproaite fantasies anyway
Going further with the same thought process, you, average man, are no porn stud. You’re not well endowed like that. You’re not physically ripped like that.
speak for yourself and about 60 percent cause I see quite a few strong built dudes out there ,they just do’t care exclusively about sex 24/7 like a retard.

So the public is being sold a series of essentially unattainable fantasies.
So the scene where a dude is on a couch or bed in a house or apartment alone with a female is not realistic???
and I just remembered that not all the porn films I’ve seen have had attractive(to me) females or males.
but two adults getting together alone(ignore the cameraman and film crew)
is not real or plausible ,please nah its that other stuff thats unrealistic and proably illegal immoral and inapproaite too ,but then when did that ever stop some guys and a few girls.

Based on what I’ve read concerning Victorian era England, my view is that there was much debauchery — amongst the poor and amongst the wealthy; but, that it tended to be hidden or taken underground by the upperclasses.
I have heard that narcotic substances were used much more freely / commonly then than they are now, as their use did not carry the same negative / moralistic connotations which they now do. Added to that is the fact that during that time there was little knowledge concerning the potential health hazards frequent usage of these substances presented.
Cocaine was much more commonly used during that era and, from what I’ve read, was considered a headache remedy which could be purchased at local pharmacies. The original formula for Coca Cola (also meant to treat headaches, if I recall correctly) included cocaine as an ingredient. I recall also reading about a wine which contained tincture of the coca plant, and was a favorite beverage of a pope of that era.

ok, maybe I should stay out of this but I guess not…
Porn is a) graphic depiction of sexual acts or objects b) fantasy c) objectification of humanbeings.
Most of all, it is a huge business. Already back in the 90’s in USA porn was bigger business than all the other “entertainment” business put together. That is bigger business than all rappers, Michael Jacksons and Bruce Springsteens and Bon Jovis and country stars and movie stars and movies and Terminators and every other put together. So it is about the money. It is not about being liberated or free or any of that stuff. It is about the money.
Now, one thing: porn is extremely popular in societies which are moralistic: USA, catholic countries and Sweden. Yes, Sweden is a moralistic country. Everything in life is about moral in Sweden in one way or another. Porn seems also to be popular in countries in which nudity is a problem of sorts.
Is there porn in Finland? Yes, but nobody takes it seriously or bothers about it in general. I mean, we have over two million saunas over here and most of us have seen naked people from the day we were born, so nudity is not an issue to most of us. Sex is your personal issue. As long as you do not hurt anybody, nobody cares about your sex life or your sexuality or what ever.
I think almost all my friends have seen porn at one time or another. When I was in my early teens it was interesting, but after say 15 not so much. I do not know anyone who would spend too much time or money on it. I don’t. I like the real life too much, real people with real feelings. Besides, porn stars are really bad actors, even when they simulate the sex.
As for the personal sex stories, they are personal.

” I like the real life too much, real people with real feelings…..”
You almost got it Sam, I really like most of your answer, its just a little judgemental thing here….people talk about intimicy, real feelings,.
being in a relationship 3 years shy of 3 decades takes tremendous work, commitment, attemt at understanding and tolerance and being hurt or let down and letting it go because you love that person
before that, i was in a relationship for 5 years, and a two year marraidge before that, puncuated by smaller relationships and big freak periods in between relationships
“I got 99 problems but being in an intimite relationship with real people and real feelings aint one…”, and I frequently have looked at porn and will until I die
why does there have to be that little judgement tacked on?
There is only one correct answer “Im not really into porn, it doesnt turn me on, but , I have nothing against anyone who does use it on a regular basis, because that is their choice…PERIOD”

I will probably regret this but….just a bit of advice B.R which you obviously can take or leave as you so wish. In this paragraph (above) alone it seems that you are mixing up individuals being ‘liberated’ and ‘comfortable in their bodies’, for example, going topless on the beach, with them being in a state of undress for your pleasure.
Women who are on their holidays ‘sunning’ themselves and taking off their bikini tops or wearing teeny tiny bikini bottoms to ensure that desired all over tan I doubt would consider this as being ‘sensual’ but perhaps something more practical.
Nothing wrong with appreciating the female form but there is a time and a place I guess i’m trying to say.

Omnipresent, I will tell you what a very knowledgable Brazilian told me, when I got there, and, I will tell you what I know:
As the costumes in carnival got smaller and smaller and more sexy, people kind of started just wearing them on the beach, or bathing suit styles like the carnival syles
But, the truth Ive observed is, the ladies dont really do it for the guys, they are in serious competition with each other as to who can out do the other, and, I have to say, in Brazil, women look on their sensuality as their right and Im happy to say , they would get very indignent of anyone trying to take that away from them. I am just the lucky benaficiary of this competition..and, you know there are people that are uptight about string bikinis and would almost classify that as porn (in the sence that they would have labled these older magizines not showing the vulva would be labled porn also) or indecent…they banned them in north Florida, maybe that is lifted now
Sensuality in Brazil or anywhere, doesnt exist for my benifit, it just exists, and its up to me to try to get myself to where it exists.Im not sure why you try to make it like I think its all for me…that shows a kind of desire to mischarantorise where I am coming from on your part
..I really became hooked on nudity and senuality in New York, working with Louis Falco, cheorographer for the film “Fame”, which I worked on also (although work in the “Free Street Theater” in Chicago had nudity in the dressing rooms also)…in his dance classes at his studio, all the dancers dressed and undressed nude in an open space on the side of the space for class…I would see women totaly nude and the shape of their vulvas and nude behinds, and his dancers were drop dead beautiful.It was so cool, I took some classes just to be in the middle of all that fine booty in the dressing space..Id go out of classes bouncing off the walls with such a high astral…but, you really have to be on the inside to tap into sensuality in a big northeast urban city like New York, in Brazil, its right out at the beach or at carnival or at the baile funk, open to everyone, all ages for free
V8, its not about whether people can talk openly about sex or not, its the implication that something might be a little off about someone who looks at porn on a regular basis…there just isnt a live and let live, do your own thing attitude, there is a smug judgemental tone coming from the people who say they dont like porn or are not into it

I have no problems if some one is spending his/hers time with porn. Go ahead, do as you please. I just find pretty boring and comical at its best. I guess I am too much of a fan of real women and real sex to praise the Lord for the porn.
I am not judgemental nor do I have any moral stand on this. If grownups want to spend their money on porn, no problem. It just does not work for me that much. There is just something very funny about watching other people copulate, I can not explain it.
I can watch pretty women all day long, and if they happen to be in my bedroom or other nice place, all the better. And if they are on top of me or in any other position they prefer, all the better. If they do not have clothes on on those positions, very nice. But I won’t pay for it nor look it from some device, be that tv or iPad or any other. I just prefer the real deal, real live action.

Sam, your statement is fine except you still have this judgemental tone.
Do you think you enjoy real sex,the real deal, the live action, any more than I do? Do you think your sexual encounters are any more fullfilling than mine..
See, I dont think people are funny for not watching porn, I dont suggest anyone watching porn if they dont want to , porn is not for everybody and Im not into all porn, and, when I watch it, it leads to orgasm, I dont just sit and watch porn…but, I have no judgement about someone who does..
Also, Sam, Im into cultivating my sexual energy to the fullest to use it in all aspects of my life, I find tremendous health benifits from plugging into this sexual energy and porn is just one fonte of pushing that energy
There is lots in porn that Im not into, like anal,but, I dont judge the people who are into anal and look at porn for that reason..I beleive in the individual right to find ones own sexual being any way they can
Phoebeprunelle, yes of course, I look on erotica and sensuality as cousins of porn…you dont need one to have the other, I love huge doses of both and sitting on the beach with the fine women I see in the smallest bikinis in incredible poses,is nothing short of high dosage erotica at its most powerful
But, the extreme religious perverts will wrap it all in one lump and condemn it
For me, you start on one and the rest will be threatened later down the line
Yeah, Cornlia, I just go back into your posts and see exactly why I am arguing with you….and you tried to tie in something about my point of view in the SSA thread and this one, and you are implying something is funny with me (see how that word funny works Sam, its an automatic implication that something is not right about someone who watches porn)..There is nothing wrong with you not liking porn, there is everything wrong with you trying to find something wrong or strange in my personality and just implying porn is something less noble and pristine than your concepts of sexuality.

From this, it seems that you are suggesting that people cant be and are not having as good a sex life as you. This seems to be because they have stated that they are not in to porn or not in the way you are. Must admit I am not sure what you meant by ‘I planned it this way’ though.
“There is just something very funny about watching other people copulate, I can not explain it.”

It matters, Omnipresent , because if people start to pass judgements on porn, psycho analise it , even give the impresion they have nothing against it, but, get in a little dig about it (Im not going to use any post here as an example , im just saying that happens) , then people who do get something out of porn, are going to hide the fact they use it, not say anything and keep it in the dark, and just perpetuate the repression.Yes, I could say nothing and go hide from everyone here about that I look at porn on a regular basis, but, I hate hiding, I feel as normal as anyone else out here as far as sex, and I refuse to have any feeling of represion about it like I better not say anything because people are going to make remarks like they are so much more normal and above looking at porn
You see, Omnipresent, I dont know about you, but, I think societies in general, especialy the Jewish, Christian , Muslim influenced societies (for sure not exclusivly), are not well adjusted when it comes to sex. They are awash in repressive , shameful dogmas , full of mandates about what is good and what is bad…mandates that have done great damage, have ruined cultures, been especialy cruel to women in general.
All the great sex Ive had in my life was because of the woman..any sex I had that wasnt so good, I take the blame…and, women, with any sign of uninhibited behavior, and any sign that they may like sex, that they want to experiment with more than one partner, that they want to be sensual, are subject to be punished or ostracised and put to a double standard.
Women in porn are uninhibited, knowledgable, for the most part, about what to do , Im fascinated that they , and the men , can perform sex infront lights camera and a crew..I dont think I can do that, there is something interesting about that
These represions against sex in our religions, filter down into regular life and , we are all damaged goods in a way…
I planned making my older age filled with sexual desire and fantacy and sensuality, by coming to Brazil, for the beaches and culture…there were trade offs to be sure, in my career and material life styles…but I never looked back, it delivered more than I ever imagined…and then the computor age and porn hub comes in…I always had a couple of magizines laying around, but, now, porn works in a seamless way to just compliment the sensuality and the real life sex
I have tremendous curiosity about sex, I feel like I want to know everything about it…..being faithful in a relationship, means that looking at porn is the only way I can see another type woman have sex ,see her knowledge of how to orally satisfy a man, see the shape and coloring of her vulva and the unique design of her anus and how it looks with the male genital filling it up…it answers that curiosity without having to cheat…I like that

Possibly, but I think then you will find that this is a reflection of how people might behave in real life. My wife had a friend who would be described as prudish, the kind that would make moral judgements about men looking at porn for example and ‘name and shame’ people for certain behaviours. I was always careful what I said around her for fear of offending her but, by the by (and not I stress from personal experience) my understanding is that in bed, she could give the biggest porn stars a run for their money, its just that porn didn’t do it for her.
Some people don’t like the idea of their partner looking at images of other people – it makes them feel inadequate in some way and maybe for others there is a feeling of shame too – it is something that is not ‘socially’ acceptable.
Even though to a great degree there is anonymity in cyberspace I still think that people are wary of revealing too much about their personal likes and dislikes. I respect that, either way.

“Women in porn are uninhibited, knowledgable, for the most part, about what to do , Im fascinated that they , and the men , can perform sex infront lights camera and a crew”
You serious, man? They are ACTING. Thats why they are pornACTRESSES AND ACTORS. Seriously, you really think they are performing real sex?? Oh man, if you do you must be really naive. It is a hard work and all fake. I dated a porn actress for a while and got to know the side you do not see on those videos etc. They are not getting it on, they are not unihibited, they are working for the money.
In the old days there were few guys who could “perform” on those conditions but today its all about Viagra. They used to have warmers, chicks who would jerk the guys or suck them so they could keep hard between the takes. The moisture you see between womens legs is lubricants. Fake too. It is all fake. It is all about the money.
“I have tremendous curiosity about sex, I feel like I want to know everything about it…..being faithful in a relationship, means that looking at porn is the only way I can see another type woman have sex ,see her knowledge of how to orally satisfy a man, see the shape and coloring of her vulva and the unique design of her anus and how it looks with the male genital filling it up…it answers that curiosity without having to cheat…I like that”
Sorry to say, but you sound more like a 19 year old school kid than a real grown up man. But that explains a lot. Also, if your relationship is ok why do you need to see “another type of woman have sex”? And if you are single, why not have real sex instead?
But like I said, to each his own. If it makes you happy, feel free to watch porn. I simply find it boring compared to real women in real life. I find living women much more interesting and stimulating than those girls who try to survive in porn industry. Because that is what it is: an industry. Porn in USA is bigger business than American Idols, talk shows, records, rock bands, the whole music industry and Hollywood and movie stars, television and radio, all put together.
@bulanik:
Tom of Finland was never that big in Finland. He became more famous after his death but was forgotten soon after.
He found his audience after he moved to USA. According to him, he found his identity during the WW2 when he was a young clerk adjutant working for the german officers. That is where he got his fetish for uniforms and boots and leather. He became quite influental in gay circles by creating this style, muscular guys with macho gear.
I’ve seen some his work but on the average I do not find it that amazing or shocking or fine. He does have some works which are more than about being gay, however.

How is porn considered acting? I consider it a useless industry that is not worth talking about or even brought up. Of course, there is racism in the porn industry.

I have no idea what you think the prostitution is but I can tell you this: they are also acting. They are working girls. They do not like their customers in general. They sleep with you because of the money. They do not get an orgams with you. They do not want to. They want your money. And that is why they will fake anything that makes you come sooner, so that they will get your money faster and get out faster. They have no pleasure in their work. It is just work. I have no idea where you get your ideas, or are you really that simple, or are you just trying to convince yourself of something, but I really feel sorry for you if you believe that prostitution is about pleasure and feelings for those women. It is not. It is just a job and real HC work at that.
As for the porn stars, read some porn actresses biography. It is not all sweet smelling roses. Many women do not survive porn. Think all of those who have fallen to the gutter because they could not take it mentally, who were ruined by drugs or alcholism. Think all those girls who died of AIDS back in the 80’s and 90’s and still do get the infection. Think all the VD that runs rampant in that industry. It is not pretty girls. There are millions of prettier girls out in the real world than in porn. It is exploitation. The girls exploit anyone they can, they want to make money as much as they can, and the porn producers exploit the girls and the guys as much as they can get away with. And the consumers make this exploitation possible. It is not pretty and it has nothing to do with movies. That is why it is called Porn, not movies.
“Not real, you mean those women licking the balls are just avatars? There is nothing fake about that…the positions dont look like they substituted dolls..they are real positions…I see through the acting…I guess you cant..I turn the sound down to not hear the fake orgasms..I dont mind exagerated body parts,Im not hung up about that”
You really believe there is nothing fake about porn? What are you? Five year old? Of course it is fake, all of it. Indiana Jones movies are more realistic than your average porn movie. Those women lick those balls because they are told to. They are getting paid to do that. They don’t do it because its fun or because they like to do it front of the camera. They do it solely for the money.
The positions are so uncomfortable that ordinary joe shmoe or ann average would hurt her/himself trying them. Those porn professionals, girls and guys get cramps, hurt their joints, pull their muscles doing those positions. They also hurt their genitals. That is why they film them in bits. Two three days. All day long. They have to have breaks because nobody does what they do in real life. Not even them. So they take a shot from this angle, from this angle and this angle. Break. They change position and shoot again. Every time there is a cut there is a break, maybe ten, fifteen minutes, perhaps an hour, and back again.
Like I said, I don’t have problems if you like that poop. I just can not help but burst into laughter when I see a butthole which has been bleached glaiming white or silicon breasts that could smash oak tables down, or symmetrical surgically altered genitalia. That is just so sick. But hey, that is just me. I like the real women in real life.
“I mean Sam, you are the guy that told us all that the modeling industry introduced shaving the pubic area because the gay owners wanted the models to look like little boys…are you really that ignorant?

I did not say that, it was about androgynic girls in general. It was not just one model but few. One very succesfull model confirmed that. But I never claimed that it was fashion industry who introduced the all shaved genitals nor it was the brazilians. I guess you just do not know what you talk about, which is all right. You simply do not know and no harm in it. See, divers have to shave themselves for various reasons and have done so for very long time, but I guess you have no knowledge about that. Ballet dancers have done it also well before any Ipanema chick sported the brazilian waxing. Which, strangely enough since you claim to live there, did not mean complete shave in the beginning at all. It was called a brazilian air strip back in the days. But I guess you must have known that, after all, since you live in Brazil, right? I got that information from a brazilian girl I once met long time ago who also sported one herself.
“You really are uptight with all your talk about not caring what a person does. You really do come in with this “Im so superiour to your concept of sex..” man you suk”
Well I don’t think myself an uptight at all. After all, I have been around all sorts of people all my life and I have friends from all walks of life. I even have had a serious realtionship with a stripper/porn actress/prostitute which I bet you would have some problems with. I am not claiming to be superior in anything or to anyone. I just state my opinions. If that makes you feel small I am sorry. It is just my opinion on this subject. You like porn and jerking off with it, I just prefer real sex with real women. No problem with that. It is ok with me. I am not judging you at all. Feel free to do what ever you want. I do what I want. Ok?
“Porn just reflects life, its got racism, its got interracial, its got capatalism, its got black men and women being in charge of their own business, its got sexism, and its got black feminists (see my link above) , but, you have isolated only the negative and then try to pompouly judge”
Porn may reflect real life as much any fantasy or such does. It is not manufactured in a void, so naturally it does. But what it really does reflect is the consumers want. Porn is produced ot the audiences who want more and different, new stuff etc. That is the only guide the porn industry has: how to make more money. It has no agendas what so ever.
So-called feminist porn is quite funny phenomena since it is just porn, usually even cheaper than average porn. If a prostitute states that I do this because I want so I am not an object but subject, that is only her/his opinion. With in the context she/he is still just a prostitute. If so-called feminists do porn, it is still porn. That is because it can not place itself outside the cultural framework of the porn. It may be called feminist porn, but it is just porn in the end. My take on these “polically correct” pornfilms is this: there is a big market for porn labeled as Feminist. That takes some of the stigma away and makes it ok for the so-called feminists and their companions to watch porn. That is my opinion on that: it is just a marketing idea. “Hey feminists, now you can watch this porn because it is feminist porn!” and it’s nine ninetynine, thank you.
“You dont have any better sex life than I do, Sam…you havent had as long and caring relationship with one individual as I have, Sam, and I doubt if you have gotten your freak on anymore than I have.where in gods name do you get off with your petty judgemens?”
Where did I say I have better sex life than you???? I never said that. All I said was that I prefer real women in real life over porn. That is all. Do not take things so personally, even if you are so much into the porn. Let me go the other way. I am not telling you to stop or judge you in any way. Feel free, man. Live your life. Accept it. You like porn and it is ok. No problem. I do not like porn, I find it boring and funny. That is all. No need to get so irritated. Unless somewhere deep inside you are feeling the guilty bangs. But that is not my problem.
I propably haven’t had as long relationship as you have. Life sometimes does that. Not all the love stories last, no matter what we do. Luckily I have been able to stay friends with most of my exes. Good for you if you have a good long solid relationship.
“I doubt if you have gotten your freak on anymore than I have”??
I have no idea what do you mean by that. You mean sexual experimentations? Well, I have no idea what you have done nor I am interested in them, but I know I have had all kinds of fun and I have no complains. For me sex is not an obstacle course or abrobatic excercise, it is what it is, naturally. Some like it wild, some like it tender and sweet, some like animalistic and some slow and soft etc. I’ve had all of those and I am grateful for all those moments. I guess I am a bit boring heterosexual but that is just me. Feel free to live anyway you want. I live the way I like and no, I am not into the porn even after this one. It is just too comical for me to take it seriously. Sorry.

@Bulanik:
The so-called Sexual revolution went a bit over board indeed, in that it became almost Tabu to refuse sex back in the late 60’s aerly 70’s and some women have later said that they felt quite suffocated with that.
But the equality between the sexes in broader sense up north is much earlier tradition than usually is known. Finland gave women the right to vote in 1905 when we were still officially under the tsarist rule. First women ministers in governments were also quite early on. During our civil war in 1918 there were women batallions in the red army.
In the much earlier ages it was a custom that the woman of the house was in control when the husband was gone, she was The madam of the whole estate in the absence of her husband OR if the husband was incapacitated. So much so that in medieaval times Finland was known as womens land, Kvennoland. Even some romans wrote that we were so rotten and corrupted that women are our leaders, which was actually sometimes the case.
They have found several so-called woman chiefs graves from Finland which are dated in Iron Age, roman times, early medieval times and before crusades. In these graves there are all the things which signified a status of a chief in our old society; a sword, a big knife and the keys. They state that the person in the grave ruled and controlled her society, village or counry. And there are more than couple of these.
I believe that it was pretty much so in Sweden and Denmark during the viking era at least. There were women vikings (which the french really scared and called the Virgings of the Shield Arm, because it did not come into their mind that those chicks propably were not the virgin type to begin with) and when a viking chief was away his wife controlled the household. She was also allowed to have a “bed warmer”, a guy with whom she could have sex while the husband was gone. Naturally when the husband came home, the bedwarmer was better to get out of the town. Any children concieved like this were taken into the family, as well as any the husband had with maids, but they had no right for the heritage.
It was only after christianity was introduced that women lost their equal position in the eyes of the law and government. How ever the old traditions did not die and even if there was social and religious stigma, there were women who lived alone and made careers for themselves. My great-great aunt was one of them. She lived in Vyborg, Carelia, had six children with different men (when it was illegal!!), was never married and ran a successful business at the turn of the 1900’s. So she was educated, had several children and had her own propety etc.

Nigh courting was pretty normal even when my parents were young and well before the wars etc. If a young couple wanted to get it on they could meet at the local dances. Then the guy could ask if she would allow him to escort her safely back to home. If she wanted, she could say yes and usually they did not go back to the girls home but some different building called Aitta, sort of an extra house with beds etc. or to sauna and things happened or not.
A girl could also invite a guy to visit her during the night in Aitta or if he showed up uninvited she could turn him down or take him in. So the final desicion was the girls. The only thing that was really forbidden was the pregnancy but there were ways to deal with that too. Unmarried girl could be wed fast and the child became part of her family. She could be sent away and later when she came back and she just told that husband had died or left them. If the girl was a maid and the father was from the family of the house, she could be taken to the other side of the country, given money to start a new life, and back at home she was told committed a suicide by drowning. Naturally nobody ever saw her again.
In Finland the sauna culture made the nudity sort of lame thing. Naturally if you see complete stranger nude you are somewhat ashtonished etc. but if there is a sauna near by, nobody thinks about it twice. He/she is coming from or going to sauna. Funny thing, when women went to swim from the sauna, they covered their breasts with their arms but not the pubic hair etc.
When I was a child I went to sauna with anybody. If our family went to sauna, we were all there in the nude: father, mother, big brother, me and kid sister. Only if there was a bigger crowd of guests or relatives, women and men went to sauna separately. But the kids went with whom ever they liked. So from very early on I saw females from the age of two up to their seventies, as well as nude men about the same age range. The puberty was the line. Once you reached you puberty you did not go to sauna with your mother anymore. BUT when we were teenagers we used to go to sauna with our neighbour kids, girls and boys all together.
Funny thing is that this did not take away any eroticism from the nudity once the sex life began. You could talk to a girl earlier totally nude in the sauna without any sexual ideas in your head, only to be in heat with her couple hours later in bed with the same sight. Really weird how that worked.

I have no idea what obsession you have on genitals but yes, I believe that if you really like hairless female genitals more than ones with at least some hair, if you really get more aroused by the sight of hairless female genitals, you are at some level getting exited from signs which implicate pre pubertetic condition. But like I’ve said million times: that is just my opinion. I am not denying anybody doing anything or enjoying anything, as long as they do not hurt anybody and it is done between considerate adults.
If you feel like a pedophile I can not help you. It is your own mind telling you those things. If you are ok with your thing, you have no reason to get so irritated about these things. If you are ok with your sexuality, whats the problem? Who cares what I say?? I’m just one person, one individual with one opinion. Why bother?
As for watching porn, if and when I am in a relationship I have no need for porn. Granted, my longest realtionship lasted only 8 years, relatively short time, but still I had no need for porn during it. I got more exciting stuff in real life than from porn. Same with my other relationships. But hey, thats just me. You do what ever you do. Why you get so animated if everything is ok?
You like porn, I don’t. It is that simple. Whats bugging you? You feel guilty? You feel I judge you? That is all in your own mind, man. You are free to do as you wish, for all I care. It is your life. You can do what ever you want. I am not judging you at all. I just like more the real sex with real people and find porn a waste of time and money. What is so wrong in that? Why that is bothering you?
As for the prostitution, as much as I see down sides in it, I also happen to believe it should be legal occupation. That way the women and men in that busines could pay taxes, get insurances, health care, and most of all: police protection and legal protection. That could help them.
As for prostitutes having orgasms at work, I think it is better that I won’t comment that no more.

“I believe that if you really like hairless female genitals more than ones with at least some hair, if you really get more aroused by the sight of hairless female genitals, you are at some level getting exited from signs which implicate pre pubertetic condition. But like I’ve said million times: that is just my opinion. I am not denying anybody doing anything or enjoying anything, as long as they do not hurt anybody and it is done between considerate adults.”
Sam, I guess you dont see the implication…great that you say “its only my opinion…” but, your opinion isnt too favorable , it does have your judgement inside …your opinion
So, when you give your opinion that to you, someone getting pleasure out of shaved female genitila are signs which implicae pre pubertetic condition , that I sound like Im 19, and why would I want to see porn if I am in a relationship , which also implicates anyone else in a relationship who also likes porn…there is a judgement in …your opinion…
When you insist on your point that you like having “real sex”, with “real women”, it seems confusing or redundant…I mean, I like having “real sex” with “real women” as much as you…Im not sure what that has to do with anything about porn…except you dont like it…which , I have …no opinion … or judgement , what so ever….about whether you like porn or not…unlike your built in judgegement in your opinion
Dont worry , Sam, I have no hang ups or over reactions about your opinion, it has absolutly no bearing on my living my life, I just think its very important to come in on a subject on this blog, and , discuss and argue that I dont agree with your type of opinion, exactly because it is a judgemental opinion,..just like I dont agree with anyone judging people finding their sexuality or repressing sensuality like the people who would call women in string bikinis being sexualy exploited (not saying this is your opinion, Sam)
Its important to let you know that what you are saying may be your opinion, but, it is judgemental , and its good to put on the table an oposing point of view based on your opinion
and, frankly, Im surprised …I really am, you have always come off as having some kind of world knowledge, traveled a lot, lots of experiances, I would think your opinion about porn or shaved female genital area, wouldnt have that judgemental tone in it…I really would rather beleive you just are trying to bust my chops because I bump your head so hard on the international threads..I mean that would be easiar to beleive…Im really surprised…..

I wonder how much racism is sexually transmitted by porn? I mean, porn is probably one of the few places where “anything goes” and things that would be unacceptable anywhere else are allowed if not outright encouraged.
For example (as has been mentioned above) how often are non-White women portrayed based on the most juvenile and racist stereotypes that would never be excused in any other forum? And how many young men are then exposed to these depictions in their formative years and subconsciously assume attitudes and opinions about non-White women, based on the only sexual reference point that they have ever really had with them?
The point I’m making is not that White women are not also exploited and misrepresented by certain porno fantasies, but that in their case enough counter images and examples exist to bring some balance to the equation. Often, women of color do not have that buffer.

King, for me, contemporary porn, like you can find at porn hub, has everything
I can find white women being demeaned and protrayed in degrading sexual circumstances also, but, I can also find women of all colors in very well done sexual portrayals…for sure there are men and women who have degraded and been degraded , who do seek out videos that affect their experiances…I might not agree with it , or find some just too differant from what Im into, but, Im not going to only let what I like go ahead and deprive other people of what they like…any racist who gets off on black women being abused has their own issues to deal with …it relfects on their taste more than pornografy in general
Also, I noticed there are a lot of people who say “these kind of people flock to see this and that…”
Well, on porn hub, they have the amount of views on each video, so you can really see if there is some kind of extra overt pattern of what people are viewing…and it really doesnt play out to anyone’s stereotype ive seen mentioned on this blog so often

@ BR Well, as you see above, I say that the problem is just that WOC are often portrayed in racist ways that are then sexualized, but that in the context of a racist society, they do not benefit from the same proportion of non-racist, positive images.

It is not actually the “watching” element of these – recitals – that is of interest.

What watching the women above reminds me of is drawing or painting many many nudes – some men, some women – and trying to capture the individual “look” of that person. It didn’t matter if the person was idealistically and obviously “beautiful”, but my eye would always find something to focus on that would reveal the truth of their personal eroticism, something intense and interior… It could be revealed by the texture of skin, muscle tone, a scar, something. It was extremely individual, like the each of the women’s orgasms shown above. A good drawing or painting has that power: when you see it — it makes you feel something.

Is it so simply like this: “Hey folks, just plug into our porn hub! There’s something for everyone here, porn is only a sex-feast!

Is it really so? Do things happen in a vacuum like this?
Personally, I see the porn industry as an industry, like any other.
Like the music or television industries: recognizing that doesn’t make a person somehow “anti-music” or “anti-entertainment” because he or she recognizes how corrupted, damaging or racist those industries are and have been… The porn industry is no different, gonzo porn in particular; it’s pock-riddled with the dehumanization, lies and hypersexualization of PoC, black people especially.
I don’t mean to say the everyone is affected in the same way by it.
I’m talking about the highly frequent viewing of porn and regular+plus viewing by pre-teens especially, who fall into porn body and soul, and try to reproduce their life experiences on what they have seen of sex on film. Apparently the average age for that porn-consumption is around 11 or 12 years of age, so its influence shouldn’t be ignored.

But because porn is perceived — by the mainstream — as somehow not a serious commentary on society, belonging to the private sphere, or embarrassing or not exactly “respectable”, etc., the part it plays as a cultural lubricant for racism is under-estimated and infrequently discussed.
Yet, it’s a massive industry.
The fact is, in the popular gonzo form, it is the common entry-point for racist (and, of course, sexist) stereotyping.
It is widely available and a medium where no-one, loudly or often, seems to questions anything, where no-one filmed and done to has any vulnerability or rights to any boundaries, where nothing is filtered and where there is no defence of the objects (racialized people) who are penetrated, or used as ever-ready f*ck-toys. I
It permeates like a pervasive open-secret. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzo_pornography
The porn industry relies on Orientalist and racist fetishes, just in the way it was once common practice to place Africans on the auction block — they were reduced to body parts. Now, just because new “fetishes” spring up from time to time, just like new and fresh flavours or genres, adding digressions and spice to the menu, what does it change?
Why should consumers TRUST an industry with a reputation for hurt and degradation — simply because it is now more “inclusive”?
Just as enslaved Africans were auctioned as body parts, and were once human beings into marketable commodities and objects of desire — fetishes — to the covetous buyer, how is that kind of human trafficking so different to the human trafficking that affects the women and children in today’s sex industries and markets? (Some of that forced activity is filmed of course, offering so much to porn banquette.)
What has always concerned me about pornography is the way it makes sexuality a commodity. Gail Dines, a sociologist who has studied the social effects of pornography, says that porn *hijacks* and sexualizes what is cruel and brutal, and inserts that normalized violence back into our minds as though it were perfectly normal. Then we are told there is a “demand” for it, a demand which is created, to the point where it becomes part of the way we think about sex, and carry out sexual activities on the bodies of Others.

I agree with thwack. Women are addicted to attention or shall I say the majority of women I am friends with on facebook. They post things from the clothes they wear to the food they are about to eat. The food is taking it way too far. Speaking purely for myself I seek attention at times subconsciously and in general I am not an attention type person. For example on facebook I don’t post anything about my life, but in public I might gloat about a good deed to have people say good job. This is not often but it has happened enough for me to notice my need for attention.
“Think women are maybe less superficial and look at the heart of a man more….maybe.”—Yes and no. I think women tend to seek out the best opportunity at times (definitely not all women). I personally have found men (in my family especially) can overlook facial flaws if said woman is willing to do some basic things. Cook, clean, etc.
Taking into account my aunt she chose a not so great looking man (looks like a thin Mr. Brown from Tyler Perry movies). She is with him because he takes care of her and she was going on 40 and still single. My sister did the same thing with her recent guy though I have to give him credit as he is no eye sore. I guess it really depends on the circumstances but in many cases I have found that a beast of a man is acceptable if they will take care of said woman.

Dunno about this about a lot of women. I see my kids facebook and I see young ladies posing and posturing in ways that I dont remember from my school days. I dont know whether its more confidence or more media pressure causing the youth to do all this. Its quite scary the kind of narcissism.

Yes but are those same men faithful? Not asking you about your family in particular but theoretically and I can say to you that from my experience seeing a lot of my peers, sound, hardworking decent seeming men I know the answer is no. Often it is the most surprising of men too, those that appear to have it all but perhaps their lady has put on a bit of weight or looks a little tired after running round with the kids or I guess, a disinterest in sex – thats the kicker for a lot of men that causes them to sniff around elsewhere. A lot of men want it ALL and even though they age badly and stop taking care of themselves they still want that hottie on their arm.

I don’t consider myself young and many of the women I speak of are my age and older. Some married and some not, but they have a need to post their life on social media. Everyday. Several posts. The check-in feature has made it worse and some of these women are checking in for getting on the freeway.
