Not a case of copping out, Officer. I over-reacted. Doesn't change my feelings on the subject, but I shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Hey, Caract! We may not agree, but I truly admire your willingness to accept a hasty over-reaction. And that's where I hope it ends. (Funnily enough, I've always enjoyed your posts!)

Don't let's flog this one to death, folks. I think we're all agreed that we all have the freedom of porn to do what turns us on, or some shit like that.

Now, about that avian flu crisis......

No.....i did not mean less quality or less explicit....i merely meant that for me, there is nothing more exciting when watching porn to see a beautiful women having sex, rather than the perception of being degraded

Beautiful women, expensive hair styles, great make up, sexy or elegant clothing, beuatiful lingerie and good lighting & direction is surely better than than being stuffed in the face or arse?

It seems in my opinion, that more mainstream porn is going extream - again, it is only my opinion.

I agree.

No way is this sexy, all this slap, spit, slam.

I posted along this line 6 Sept. in the O/T forum regarding the Sugababes new video, .

"Certainly pushes my button.

This is a real sexy little video.

My point is I wish porn shoots would bring back the sexyness. Often the girls are already naked or in their undies then it is spit , slap, suck and slam. How about kissing, fondling, stripping then getting down to a bit of Mutual Pleasuring, now that's a good old fashioned story line. Well I think so, maybe I am on my own on this.

ps. I think it is a good song as well a number 1 for sure!."

Fiona Cooper sumed it up "Sexy Videos not Sex Videos"

No your not PC I totally agree. Where did all this agression come from? Are women trying to be men? Is it drug fuelled?Are soft sexy women wimps? God Knows where it will end?

Its all in the eye of the viewer

I prefer Glamor more so than Gonzo its nice to occasionally watch something different because high production values don't always equate to a great porn flick

Most of the extreme acts just do nothing for me so I avoid them but
the question is whats extreme...anal,facials,pissing,scat,choking,strangling

In the end it all comes down to the girls performance IMHO
Some pornstars have good enough acting skills to be able to deliver the goods even when the subject matter is extreme

This post by one eyed jack from the thread
sums it up for me

I think Officer Dibble has been down this path before and claimed as I agree with him on this case, people who know fuck all about the business assume this is one of those things that they think customers like, as if customers like porn because they want to see women being debased.

Essentially, your average man is a simple creature: he likes to see pretty girls having sex. The abusive stuff does set us back as an industry, especially when we have fought hard for legal and reputable recognition over the years. Its simply just a case of the few spoiling it for the rest but I have to defend it insofar, that porn is trying to cater to everybody. All I can advise is, if it ain't your cup of tea. Don't buy into it.

cheers
B....OZ

I really did not mean to stir up a hornets nest here......or offend any one in the business / industry.

I just find it alarming that the industry is going down this route and overlooking other more subtle, sexy, erotic styles.

I appreciate that many of the replies on this topic advise that they are catering for everyone's taste, although the amount of material of this type available would suggest otherwise and quite rightly, I can choose to or not to watch it....agreed.

A good question.You should check out some of the American material, if you really want to be shocked.
Unfortunately, there seems to be an on-going competition to see who can be "harder". In terms of the millions of guys out there who are potential consumers, porn is now made to appeal to a small number (still in their thousands) who enjoy seeing women humiliated and abused. I'd say the typical guy in the street has fantasies, of a georgeous sexy woman coming onto him, no strings attached.
However if you are a mysoginist porn producer, you cannot see or understand this concept. In your sad little world, women are all sluts and should be treated as such. In their twisted minds, the only good or "erotic" porn occurs when a woman is put through every possible act of degradation that their pathetic little brains can dream up.
The only role in which they grudgingly allow a woman to be empowered in, is when they are depicted as a fat dominatrix, with some guy licking their shoes or whatever.
In an artistic sense, I reckon porn is set in stone as the least imaginative art form. Check out almost every scene, they all adher to a rigid set of rules and the main rule is the male takes centre stage at the expense of the female. The images scream at you, "Hey you lot out there, look at what I'm going to fuck you poor sad smucks!"
In my opinion, the mysogonists rule the world of porn and erotica will slowly die out. It will be you who starts questioning yourself and asking, "Maybe it's me thats wierd for not enjoying seeing women abused!"
No you're not wierd, you just happen to LIKE women.

Hey Jim

great post ... v well put together. I am not a lover at all of the harder stuf ...but there is a fun element in it as well..

As a producer you know what really goes on and how much is put on...admittidely seeing some of the harder stuff in the states theres nothing here that I have seen that is comparable (Thank goodness) but in question of empowerment i do agree but flip the coin on the otherside.

Is it not he women being empowered as well ...? they may seem to be getting flogged sensless but to a certain degree I feel that they are more in control...if they werent they wouldnt be there ...getting paid for the shoots and walking away whilst someone cleans the mess? They are stars of the show - ??

Surely the last bit of erotica was Emanuelle or the Dhalia series by Blake...

totally agree about the average mans fantasies about getting the good looking girl walking down the street. But I think the good looking girl now is walking past the boy and is looking forward to smashing her beautiful girl friends to bits... ! Not much erotica there agreed ... but its what ever floats your boat ...

funki
