LatexHer -> PORN - does it really matter? (9/5/2008 9:11:19 AM)

  After 30+ years of being a male Dom active in the community, I have seen many types of letters related to porn.  First of all allow me to express my views and observations related to this subject matter.
"Porn" as it is referred to, envelopes a huge and diverse area. Pictures of nude women in of all shapes, ethnicity and stages of development have been around for eons.  If however one enjoys the many other forms of expression often associated under the general term of PORN, a partner may be a fetishist!
  Fetishists have a desire and love of certain things, objects, material, or articles which may enhance their desire to have sex. A common fetish is a woman wearing a uniform like a nurse, maid, school girl, cheerleader, teacher, prison guard, policewoman, etc.
  In todays more sexually expressive world other fetishes once kept secret, are now more in the open. These other fetishes include: Latex rubber, vinyl, gas masks, gags, hoods, leather straps, body bags, mummification, restraints, ropes, chains, collars, girdles, seamed stockings, garters, knife play, scents, etc, to name a few.
Another closely related subject is that of S&M.  Sadomasochism includes the act of spanking, whipping, tit and pussy tortures, hot wax, pain, humiliations, piercings, electro shocks, and the pleasure derived by either the Dominant or the submissive. Although much controversy remains with the scope of the infliction of pain, how it is defined.  
Since most people cannot clearly define "Porn" it is difficult to tell if it adversely affects relationships.
However, if a male or female viewing porn revealed any desire for fetish, bondage, or S&M related activities, than perhaps they should sit down and discuss openly their  "Secret" desires with their partners.
 
  Too many relationships are broken by a woman's reluctance to comply with her lovers fantasies, or a husband reluctance to talk with his wife.   As long as no partner is injured, fantasies are commonplace and if properly executed can become the added spice in a relationship! There is no harm for you to tease him while wearing a rubber maids costume for example, or candidly whipping him, or he you. There is no shame for either of you to enjoy being tied, gagged, or sexually tormented, teased - if it is all done in fun.
  Men and women both alike should remain open to suggestion. Couples that talk have a much greater chance of staying in a healthy relationship than those who remain in a virtual vacuum of modern sexuality!  Porn as it is referred too  is much more socially accepted in Europe, than here in the repressed USA.

  Of course in our community where we have a set dominant or submissive lifestyle, the viewing of Porn, become much less of an issue when looked upon as a Dominant or submissive.

Of course porn matters! It is clearly and repeatedly a feature on my billing sheets:

"Research"

"Concepting"

"Prospecting"

"Brainstorming"

"Ideation"

"Thinking..."

Does porn matter.  Yes it does.
As long as it is good porn.

Most porn makes me feel like I'm looking at a strange scientific experiment: the dissociation mind/body is usually pretty obvious, and it reminds me it's just a stage show, but an unsexy one. Or it feels like I'm looking at some strange animals engaging in abnormal behaviour at the zoo.

I'm anything but sexually repressed, and I'm a very visual person, just like a man ;-), but porn's just not my cuppa char - I find most porn ugly, and even if it awakens sexual arousal, it's in direct contradiction with the morality of aesthetics (one of my battle horses). Unless I'm making my own porn (a mirror is a huge turn on, for example).

When people think porn, they tend to think of the really bad american porno/hogtied/blah.  I prefere the japanese porn, or more arthouse shit.  It's still porn, and it has a story sometimes and good ones at that.  Not all that close up stuff - the more imagined it is the better (if that makes sense) - sometimes the mind is a far greater tool than actually seeing what it happening. 
Plus some of the horror is pretty sexual too - not the mainstream so much, but there are some good 'alternaitve' films out there.
I'm not a fan of the bad acting porn - all that dressing up and fake break ins, nor the hentai stuff though, that tends to be far too  violent for me on a childlike level.

DiurnalVampire -> RE: PORN - does it really matter? (9/5/2008 10:26:01 AM)

I would get more out of realistic porn than I do the fantasy stuff. I dont want to watch someone else acting out their fantasy. That isnt MY fantasy, it just reminds me what i cant have. Now, simple, hardcore sex that happens even in a contrived way, but a real way, I can get into. However, I am not a visual person... I am more aural. If a porn has a good soundtrack (the grunts and groans not being drowned out by the music) then I will get far more from it than watching.

Yes, it matters. Obviously. That's why it has become a $5 billion a year business in the US alone, last year. This, in spite of so much being availble for free (or nearly so) via the internet. There is a vast market for porn. It's not just all guys in raincoats, either, like the way it was before the home video revolution in the early 1980's. Now it's couples trying to keep the spice in their LTR, gays and lesbians looking for material to use privately, or at parties. And, yes, there's still the audiance of lonely men, who need a visual boost to their masturbation fantasies. But especially, there seems to be a growing market for the "how to" videos. From anything from safe sex, to how to get into advanced BDSM play.

The real question here is: with such a demand for it, why the hell isn't there better porn available? Why is so much of it poorly shot, badly edited, male-oriented fantasy?

Sure, there have been exceptions, "Femme Films" in the 1990's did some great work, as did "The Red Shoe Diaries" on cable... but still, we see so much of the "gonzo" style porn out there, where we just see disconnected scenes, shot on the cheap, slapped together and mass marketed for a quick buck. Don't get me wrong: I want hot, heavy, and cut to the chase sex scenes as much as anyone... but is it REALLY too much to ask, for better production values? Hell, um's are shooting feature films in their back yards these days with off the shelf cameras and editing software that looks better than 90% of all "professional" porn films do... with a budget of $1.98. Why the hell hasn't the product improved, along with the available technology?

That's the thing about the video, anyway.

The real story obout where porn has become more accepted and improved is in the written word. Ever since the final decision of the Meesce Commission, (stating that the written word does not constitute obscenity) things have gotten better. Now you can find some of the most amazing works in your local bookseller franchise at the mall, or in any of those big box media outlets. (I bought my copy of Midori's "Art of Japanese Rope Bondage" and my current copy of "Screw the Roses" at my local bookstore, and I live in a small town in the Bible belt of Arkansas.)

Porn doesn't matter at all to me. Most of it is boring as hell. It looks fake and staged with really unattractive people. All plastic and too much makeup.

But, whatever floats a persons boat. I fully support someone else's right to love it.





Aneirin -> RE: PORN - does it really matter? (9/5/2008 11:43:42 AM)

I have no problem with porn, but only porn to my taste, which is usually the kink.com group of sites,  (particularly the device stuff, flesh and steel, what a yummy combination ),as I like the decor, yes I am one of those particular people that likes the right thing in the right surroundings. I also like erotica, a form of pornography where the nitty gritty is kept from view, thus allowing the brain to engage and follow the story through in the mind, a place where suggestion is more powerful than the action.

'' PORN - does it really matter  ? '', well it would seem only to those that have an axe to grind against it.

To the rest of us, I think it is just there, take it or leave it.
