An ex-roommate came by and gave me free porn. I'm somewhere between proud and dismayed that it holds no interest for me. I mean, I'll watch it, once I have a computer again, but it really will just be to see if I can get a blog post out of it.
Because... well, it's just people fucking. Whatever, you know? I'm not so jaded that I don't still like to be just fucked myself, but in the absence of any other context or activities it seems pointless.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't like to be just fucked, and the reason has less to do with being jaded and more to do with needing my real-life sex to be based in something more interesting than "hey! These parts interlock!" If I wouldn't want real sex from a random stranger who doesn't have anything interesting about them, why would I want to watch them fuck?
I will keep this in mind the next time I'm made to endure vanilla sex.
ReplyDeleteBruno - It's less "ew, vanilla" and more "ew, random people with nothing appealing about them except their possession of genitalia."
ReplyDeleteEven when I thought I was mostly vanilla (a very short period before I discovered bondage porn, and then a period of denial after I found myself too interested in bondage porn), hardcore vanilla porn never interested me much.
ReplyDeleteHalf of this is for the exact reason you mentioned: random people just fucking isn't hot. The other half is that the porn I found wasn't that good, which led me to stick to nude images, which I still prefer to typical porn videos.
I've never really cared much for porn. Two people having sex after an hour of character development is way, way hotter than a pair of random strangers who are more into showing off for the camera than they are into each other.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, but even so I found this post very depressing. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI had a job for a while that sometimes required monitoring video to make sure it was working; and sometimes that video was random porn. A lot of it had all the excitement of watching some kind of pink industrial machinery, especially when they use the up-between-the-legs camera angle. I don't think character development is always necessary, but at least the actors have to look like what they're doing means something to them.
ReplyDeleteI second Mousie762. I've seen some bloody fantastic porn that doesn't involve character development but the people involved have real chemistry - and that's hot. It's just a pity that the computer I had the link saved on died and I don't think I'll ever find it again (it was free stuff).
ReplyDeleteMany years ago I went to a strip show in Montreal. There was some routine and unappealing stuff, and then there were two women in silk and feathers, poledancing. Except that, unlike all the others, they seemed not to be dancing for the audience. They were dancing for each other, and with an increasing degree of both erotic charge between them and visible contempt for the watchers.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was hot as hell. The rest of the audience apparently didn't; at least, there was less applause than for the previous acts. It's the only stripping I've ever seen, outside my own bedroom, that was hot at all. Well, maybe the last scene in _The Full Monte_, but that's because you know those guys by then.
This accurately describes why I don't watch porn. "Oh, look, they, too have genitalia. Just like everyone else. Oh, look, it fits together. The way everyone else's does. Yawn."
ReplyDeleteNow, give me two people with serious chemistry going at it for the sheer joy of things, hell yeah.
Hell.
Yeah.
Erotic charge between the dancers? HOT. Visible contempt for you, the watcher? NOT HOT.
ReplyDeleteThere are few people I have as much instant contempt for as people who are contemptuous of, condescending to or dismissive of their customers. Under the circumstances I would wish them blue balls.
