Moderated What's wrong with porn?

The acting.

What I want to know is what is wrong with my Harry Potter fan-fic cat-boy maid bondage yaoi?
 
I just wish my wife was more into it. Then I wouldn't have to be so damned secretive (secrete-ive?) while watching it.

[Everything previously said about consenting adults -- consenting human adults -- applies.]

As for 2, that true of mainstream porn. There's a lot more works out there that is actually trying to be more artistic and involve real plots.

The new thing now is parady (pornady?) old famous sixties sitcoms including Brady Bunch, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie and The Partridge Family. They go for the more humorous side. And actually, a couple of them are dead on....errr...except for the sex part of course.

So you need plots to be artistic?

Sorry, I wrote that incorrectly.

I should have said some porn is shooting to be more artistic visually, such as the works of Andrew Blake, and also others are trying to include better plots, like the works of Candide Royale.

Heh. My wife gives me porn for my birthdays -- even though she is not particularly into it.
 
Porn in one form or another has been around for as long as humans figured out how to create images.
Society's reaction to same has varied from "so what?" acceptance to outrage, depending on religion and politics.
Opponents have railed variously against it's general depravity, the Puritanical disgust at pleasure for it's own sake, the exploitation of the individuals involved in it's production, the "degradation" of women (forgetting that much porn shows men in degraded positions), etc, etc.
Folks fond of liberalization point out that there is very little credible evidence of any harm from the consumption of porn, and often a decrease in minor sex crimes in areas where porn is easily available.
I well recall the "blue-ribbon" panel put together under Reagan to issue a report condemning pornography....An utter failure. The group could not reach a consensus position, and the dissenting report had as many names on it as the "majority" position.

Personally, as a consumer.... I find "vanilla" material to be both boring and poorly produced. I'd rather watch a commercial film with a well-filmed sex scene. But my tastes run to other things; much of the produced-for-the-internet kinky stuff is quite good....

Sex between consenting adults isn't a problem.

But can be porn truly consensual? Leaving out men for a moment, does a woman who acts in a movie really want to do so or does she feel pressured into it? Maybe she wants a mainstream film career and sees this as the first stage; how many actresses started out in porn?

How many do it simply to get by; to pay the bills?

In short, who really feels that getting paid to have sex on camera is what they want to do with their life?
 
Oh, sure, pick on my puny connection. Like I didn't have enough complexes and insecurities about that ;)

*sigh* Here we go again.

You could say the same thing for anyone doing any kind of job.

Let me explain what I mean this way:

But can be cooking truly consensual? Leaving out men for a moment, does a woman who flips burgers really want to do so or does she feel pressured into it? Maybe she wants to be a real cook and sees this as the first stage; how many cooks started out in McDonalds?

How many do it simply to get by; to pay the bills?
