yeah, i understand your point, the word is thrown around irresponsibly, but there is plenty of vintage porn with ACTUAL lesbians, and they arent that hard to find.

Fret not labe;s/./ Calling a shot “lesbians” is for the viewer (reader) and not a description of a model’s hankerings.

I remember one time trying to figure why I liked looking at Lesbian pictures. I decided that being someone obcessively hetrosexual I was more comfortable looking at sex where everywhere I looked the object was female

Interesting to think about whoever set up this photo. Someone, somewhere, thought those hairstyles were the sexiest ever.

I’d even go further than Jim. To me they both look quite interested and are checking out the situation.

But my main point is that I’d put money on it that they’re Brits. And that’s how about as openly hot as it got in those days… it’s all in the subtle looks (posed, or not)!

You call that overanalyzing? I’ll show YOU overanalyzing!

First, I would say there’s no such thing as lesbian porn - or gay porn or even straight porn for that matter. These labels are appropriately applied to be applied to people or actions, not artifacts, applying as they do to desires. As you note, because porn is often if not usually directed and acted, we cannot easily guess what is real and false about the feelings of the people within it. Therefore, we are left with only actions to discuss. Whether or not the two ladies in question identify as lesbian, there can be not doubt that they’re engaging in, or at least simulating, a lesbian act. I am a man, but I have had sex with women who identify as lesbian - that doesn’t make me a lesbian, and it doesn’t mean I’ve had lesbian sex, right?

Anyway, I interpret their facial expressions differently. The way I read this photo, the two are just beginning to explore the idea of a sensual relationship (they don’t seem to have kissed, for example, since their lipstick is still very tidy.) The taller woman on the right seems more enthusiastic and experienced. Her expression is calm and reassuring, and both her hands are inside the other woman’s embrace, suggesting that she was the first to move. The shorter woman’s expression seems quizzical but intrigued to me, with a sly and slightly surprised smile as if she’s never tried it before, but game to give something new a shot. I think it’s very sweet.

Why does it have to convince us? At least porn was porn then - no conceit of the voyeur who is always oh so conveniently located, at the most unlikely of intimate moments. (And Erin, maybe it is this: the sense of always being watched - subject to the gaze - that encourages young women to perform their sexuality, to be the fantasy, rather than live it with real abandon.)

Bad beehive hairdo’s aside, I do like their normal bodies! [I've very much enjoyed your posts in the past Bacchus, touching on this same theme - forgive me if I repeat those sentiments here] Too many fembot hard bodies in contemporary porn, if I do says so. (And yes, I do know there are ‘categories’ for ‘normal’ - read, hairy, fat and old - though I’m still not sure why these categories are the fetish and the unrealistic bodies of porno-chic the norm… but I’m a simple gal.

Right on Erin. These girls exploiting themselves for men is so backward. I watch TV and wonder how far we really have gone from when women were oppressed. We’re still objects, arn’t we? A lot of young women don’t understand what their ancestors have done to gain respect and they’re not appriciating their rights. I find that covering myself up and being mysterious attracts a better kind of man aswel :-)

To me the one on the left, at least, looks questioning, “Like is this good for you?”
Hard to tell much of anything from a photo. I had a professionally-taken photo of a then girlfriend that I really liked, great smile, etc. She didn’t because she said she could remember that she wasn’t happy while it was being taken.

OK, since the topic is up, why does the idea of two women having sex seem so hot to hetero guys - of which I am one. Any short explanations?
