The happy face of porn, as a side thread to the "things you would not do thread" and most certainly not like any threads that I found when searching....
I like porn, I think it is healthy. Sure, there is some nasty stuff out there but that is true of any area of human endeavour; any Google search is likely to turn something distasteful up regardless of the adult filter settings.
As everyone on here clearly has access to the internet I guess we all also have access to search for our favourite phrase when it comes to sex, so this must be something we all have in common?
As for porn in relationships, that is is discussed at length in other threads. For the record I look at porn on my computer with and without my partner, if I save stuff for later viewing I fully understand that she will look through and may delete anything that does not appeal to her too. I do not have a telly or a video so do not watch DVDs etc.
Porn has clearly been around since classical times, even old dears love to see those charity calendars of firemen and rugby players so it a real part of society.
The main reason for this thread is that I looked at another LH member's profile and saw a site recommendation, the first such that I have had from a woman and a very cool site it is too. :)
So, what is porn to you and what part does it play in your life? What is good about porn (negatives discussed elsewhere)?
Ohh, I like this thread, but there's a lot to think about here Noon! What's your newfound site that you like so much? Care to share it with the rest of us or would that be telling?
I think porn can be really healthy, but I tend to only watch it from particular companies/producers who I trust, so I can see it without worrying about how ethical it may or may not be. I like to watch porn with a partner, I think it can make it easier to discuss your likes and dislikes and smooth the way for you to make requests you might be struggling to articulate. It's easier to point to the screen and say "I'd love you to do that to me" than it is to try and summon the courage to say "I'd like you to gag me with your cock" or similar out loud with actual words!
I only really like porn with natural looking people in it who appear to actually be into what they're doing. I hate it when you can't see their faces, because surely surely the fun of sex is seeing someone enjoy themselves, either on screeen or in your bed?!
I must say, I'm not really into porn, don't really watch it, have found it useful as "foreplay" once or twice in the past but we prefer full length films that are a bit "porny" I don't know what the technical term would be....The Secretary for example.
I'm a people person, seeing nameless people can be good in that it focuses you on the thoughts of sex which tend to get me in the mood, but stories do that just as well and it's much easier to imagine me and the OH if I'm reading a story.
I don't have a problem with the OH watching porn in theory but he doesn't so I can't tell you what I'd feel in practise hehe! I prefer if he watches one of the many clips he has of me (used to be a long distance relationship so it was a way of keeping things going when we were apart and he still has all the videos), or me and him and that's what he tends to do when I'm not around.
I do something similar to AA with the OH, we flick through lads mags and compare preferences for ladies, but I don't like porn without "people" in it, to me, a lot of porn seems very clinical.
I like porn. I suppose I like seeing sex especially when I'm not having any pah! I like porn most where you see a lot of the man (or at least as much as the woman) and I actually quite like the close-up gynaecological stuff if there's a mix of other stuff as well. I think it's best when the couple are obviously fairly into it and each other, merely going through the motions shows and it's never as good. I like it that I'm now seeing more porn with hot guys (but I do wish they'd take their socks off!) I wouldn't say I use it for ideas, mainly just if I'm in the mood.
I think I'd be pretty annoyed if a bf said I could not watch porn, I'm an adult and he should respect that. I seriously don't get how some people feel they can/should control their partners like that. I'd never have a problem with a bf watching porn (well unless it was instead of playing with me!)
I wish porn was more directed at me and what I'd like to see rather than just being for blokes.
Well I am probably on of the worlds biggest advocate of porn. I would say Im addicted by I need to watch some at least 2 times a week or I get extremely angry and aggitated etc....Ok so writing that maybe I am lol.
As for watching porn individually whilst in a relationship, like Imelda I never see an issue with this. Me and my OH meet up twice a week about 7 times a night we would have sex, yet we both watch porn when we are not together. We also talk about this which helps.
But yes I admite I have a very high sex drive and I am maybe a tiny bit too dependant on it but I Love It!
The exact site is probably not important, though I will add link(s) to my profile.
I agree that too much porn is male biased, as a bi bloke I would really appreciate some sexy images of all the genders.
Why, with photographs of women, is that even when the subject is stark naked the photographer still feels the need to have the model wearing high heeled shoes!? Bare feet are much sexier.

For some people bare feet are sexier for others heels are majorly hot...I like both to look at on others if a woman is naked the last thing I'm likely to notice is if she's wearing shoes or not! Having said that I do love wearing hees myself because I'm so short...the extra height helps me feel a bit more womanly (and makes it easier to kiss my partner standing up)!
To me a woman starkers in heels (different story if they were boots!) is like a man starkers apart from socks! I've even seen that on a man in many a porn clip!
What better than viewing porn alone or with a friend or girlfriend!. With a girlfriend though it must be of certain material about what she likes!!!! we do see a lot of porn about lesbians as she likes it most but latelly we alsi watch gay porn
I tried to watch porn with an ex once, but what he liked and what I liked was too far off. I'm sorry, but fake moans and groans just don't do it for me. I don't really like porn all that much anymore, I prefer pictures because I can use my imagination. Porn, for me, is a culture. There are so many types, and different people like different things. It can very immersive if you really get into it. Finding videos and stars that appeal to you and a comany that has good values (promoting safe sex, for example).
Noon I suppose the internet has caused video clips to be much moer accessible and for many (not all) would choose video over photos. I certainly would because it's more of a turn on. Obviously porn encompasses all erotic materials videos, pictures, words etc, it's much wider than we often think.
