How do men and women's attitude differ when it comes to porn and why is it more likely a man would get addicted to porn thana woman?
I think it's safe to say that porn's core audience is male. It's been suggested that modern pornography doesn't necessarily deal in eroticism properr, so much as enact violent revenge fantasies. So on one side you've got a gentrification of pornography, with people like Jenna Jameson becoming household names and crossing into 'mainstream' entertainment. But really, I have yet to meet a woman who actually gets turned on by the gang skull fucking / bukakke scenarios dealt in by 'gonzo' pron, for example. Over the past ten years there have been numerous attempts to cater to a 'couples' market by toning down the violence/gross out factor, investing in production value and ensuring the male actor looks a bit more appealing than your oldskool Ron Jeremy type porn star. But I think there's a disconnect between women claiming they watch and enjoy porn and the actual porn that makes up the bulk of 'adult' releases.
I agree with you on pretty much everything that you said. However there are girls out there that enjoy the gonzo type porn. I am a female and have watched porn since I was 16. I have always watched very rough porn, including gang bangs and gagging. I love pretty much all kinds of porn, and can honestly say I watch more porn then my boyfriend. I work in an adult store and I deal with many female customers on a daily basis. We get a lot of female customers who come in and ask me for the more toned down movies and we do offer a huge selection of couples videos and how to videos. Every once in a while though we get girls that come in and know their shit. It's rare that I find a girl that knows/seen as many actresses, actors, production companies, and movies that I do/have seen, but THEY ARE OUT THERE! You just have to look real hard and you can find them, especially in the local bondage community. Pretty much every city nationwide has them. Hope this helped!
Yeah, there are lots of different types of porn. My wife gets very turned on by bdsm porn where the woman dominates the man, as well as bisexual group sex. I prefer gay porn, transexual porn and femdom/strapon. None of those really follow the mainstream so its harder to categorise their appeal.
I don't doubt there are women who are serious about their sexuality and don't shy from its 'darker' sides - I mean I fully believe, say, someone like Sasha Grey when she says she gets off on rougher, more volatile variations of the ol' in 'n out - and to be honest, I've ceased to care much whether other people like things because they 'actually', deep inside derive some kind of personal meaning and pleasure from it, or whether they just say they do because it's 'hip' or 'cool'. In this fashion show of life the two aren't so easy to discern, but just speaking for myself then, there's always been a slight disconnect between the type of more 'advanced' sex acts I might enjoy with someone with whom I have little to no romantic feeling for, and who at the end of the day to me is just a hot piece of ass, good for fucking, and on the other hand the kind of things I would like to do with the woman I love. I've enjoyed porn for the better part of my life, so it's not for me to sermonise, but it's more that, I don't know, it always seems like what should be a joyous thing - sex - in porn inevitably becomes infused with this kind of contempt, and it's just all about humiliating the girl, doing this or that to her and making a spectacle out of it. Which, again, despite porn's gentrification and growing female audience, would seem to have to do with the fact the bulk of porn is consumed by men who aren't necessarily first picks themselves, and whose sexuality - or lack thereof - is mixed up with revenge fantasies of putting them cunts and fuck-holes straight.
Well stated, I concur. Although I think where we differ is that if a woman I loved wanted the rougher stuff I would be more than willing to simulate it for her. I would draw a line on bringing weapons into the bedroom though...there's just too much accident potential for my taste.
I have to agree with her. In a lot of japanese porn movies, 5 out of 10 scenes will be ones where the guy is using sex toys on a women, making her orgasm over and ever.
that happens in a lot of american porn movies too, but i still don't think it's a very high percentage in either case.
the japanese tend to just kind of piss on each other. not only in porn either try going to the shops is japan someone will probably try and piss on you.
Idk from what I've seen its 90% in Japanese and 10% in American, and even then the American porn looks staged and the women don't seem to be really getting off. Then again it could be specific to the genres I've seen.
In all of J-Porn I've watched, the guys spent quite a few minutes (if not the whole video) pleasuring the girl.
In the Japanese porn movies that I've seen, the women achieve continuous orgasms with the aid of a sex toy while continuous male orgasms are deposited onto her face. I guess it's win/win for everyone.
most girl I've been with, don't watch porn.. unfortunately. I realized that these girls that watch porn are just more fun
Woman usually aren't watching the porn, they are comparing themselves to the woman in the porn. They are questioning there bodies, beauty and relationship. Men on the other hand are watching the porn for the sexual content and to get aroused. Men are more likely to enjoy the porn and get addicted because they aren't analyzing it.
