Comments on: To Put It Another Way, Porn Sucks http://www.erosblog.com/2003/05/31/to-put-it-another-way-porn-sucks/ Sex Blogging, Gratuitous Nudity, Kinky Sex, Sundry Sensuality Wed, 8 Oct 2008 00:08:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: linkskywalker http://www.erosblog.com/2003/05/31/to-put-it-another-way-porn-sucks/#comment-54353 linkskywalker Thu, 31 Jan 2008 05:27:56 +0000 http://www.erosblog.com/wp/?p=291#comment-54353 I wouldn't say the industry is run by clods based on the quality of porn--I might say it based on other things, but lets be honest. Porn is stigmatized, so no matter HOW good and classy and awesome it is, you have an opposition to your product by (according to statistics) at least 60% of the US. Not only that, but the advent of the internet means that the people who actually make "professional" porn are making LESS money. Sex sells by virtue of being sex. Obviously, when sex is just an advertising tool (hot girl posing on a car) then the product has to have a measure of quality to it. However, when sex IS the product--the horny masses will purchase it, and those of us who want something more out of our erotic experiences will remain a very very sad minority.

Take a look at the stuff produced by Femme Films. They seem to have the right idea: build up a fantasy around the act, so it actually MEANS something. I have no doubt that porn could be worthwhile: look at XXXenophile, or the graphic stories of Michael Manning. It's just that right now, the industry is run by clods.

I mean, there's only so many things you could do that qualify as sexual, even fewer still that are interesting for MOST people to watch. Copulation only has a few scenerios in which it can arise. It's hard I'm sure to find new and interesting ways to present an act as old as mankind. Sex really isnt that interesting now is it?
