What is the primary reason,(or sencondary) reason for adult videos? AMBUANICE?????????
:) :P

This is why I agree with some of what anti-porn people say, not because I want porn banned (I love porn!), but because I think some of their critiques of the modern porn world are valid. Just as it’s possible to disagree with your gocernment without being unpatriotic, it’s also possible to despise certain trends in porn without being an abolitionist.

(I’ve just discovered Abby Winters which, while not my ideal porn, is certainly a wonderful antidote to ContemptPorn.)

But I don’t think the major porn producers will be changing their habits any time soon. They are, as someone has already said, stuck in their own world, repeating their own cliches.

Porn needs better audience research, I think.

Another thing I’ve never allowed here is the expression of condemnation (or, in your parlance, “contempt” ) for the sexual preferences and practices of *anybody*. Your personal attacks against a controversial figure in the porn industry are quite unwelcome here, although I’m willing to tolerate them in their current non-specific form.

You won’t find a lot of contempt on ErosBlog, and I don’t welcome it from my commenters either. End of story.

If folks want to discuss specific gonzo porn poducers by name, even criticize them, that’s fine. But it must be done *civilly*, or be done elsewhere.

First, to an outsider, the humiliation and degradation aspects of BDSM are shocking. People often say “she (or he, for that matter, but noone has sympathy for men) can’t possibly be enjoying that!” Rest assured though, that plenty of women love getting slapped around and called nasty names before getting face-fucked until they gag. I personally know at least a dozen women who do, and a couple of men like myself who do too.

Personally, the appeal to me in particular is that I identify with the girl in such porn.

There is a point though. Even I think that [deleted] is disgustingly psychopathic. I’m not even sure where the line is drawn, but it’s there somewhere, and he crosses it. Maybe it’s because he shows absolutely no interest in whether or not she likes what he’s doing.

Gromm, you’re absolutely right that lots of people enjoy participating in and/or watching sexual situations that seem degrading to outsiders. I was never questioning that, and I don’t have a problem with it. Indeed, much BDSM porn is boring because it’s *too* safe, sane, consensual and respectful to sustain the heat that fuels rough sex fantasies.

So yes, there’s porn that caters to the seemingly-abusive-and-degrading crowd. Unlike some commenters here, I don’t condemn that. However, the point I’m making is that even in porn that’s not strictly targeted to that market, there’s often a great deal of sexual contempt. I’m speculating (talking out my butt, if you prefer) that many pornographers have gotten ahead of their markets in that respect. I’m speculating that gratuitous sexual contempt (in videos that aren’t specifically designed to show same) is a bigger turnoff for many viewers than most pornographers imagine.

I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with Donny: It’s possible for a man to be rough and sexually demanding while still appearing to value the woman in question. But lots of pornographers don’t seem to be able to manage such depictions.
