I'm very motherlike. I'm very maternal to most everybody under 30.

But also very, very far from innocent.

I think I wouldn’t want to have sex with her unless I can make her respond by playing a little with her first. It sounds like masturbating against an inanimate object, and I’ve had plenty of that.

And yeah, your penis can suffer during bad or incorrectly performed sex. Trust me on that one. While it probably won't have as much trauma as a raped woman's vagina. Then again, badly performed sex isn't going to tear her up like rape will. Rough sex can.


It still seems to require a lot of active coöperation from the man. Without it, the woman would have to fight him to do much more than hug him with her legs, and that seems pretty unlikely to damage his penis.

I appreciate your insight, and I don’t want to look like I’m trying to lecture you or anybody else on something I obviously know almost nothing about (there seems to be an aspie tendency for that, and I definitely have it), but, according to what I’ve read and what I’ve heard women say, sex can become unenjoyable for women in much more subtle ways than due to physical injury, and they can also be easily injured by an unwanted penetration, without the need to catch them off guard and make a strange motion like you’d have to do to damage a man’s penis. From a naïve male point of view, it’s hard to imagine how this works, but it makes sense considering evolution tends to make females much more picky than males, so there is indeed a reason to expect that something will prevent them from enjoying sex with a mate they don’t like very much, in a much more profound way than it would happen to a man.

I’ve similarly learned as purely theoretical knowledge that it’s generally very unpleasant, invasive and degrading for a woman, e.g., to have a breast caressed out of the blue. It’s hard for me to relate, because, barring unessential factors like fearing she’d mug me or something like that, if a woman were to just caress my chest, I’d be very unlikely not to enjoy it at least a little. It took me a few years since I first devoted some thought to this to develop a dim idea about the great deal of trust every little move towards physical intimacy takes for a woman. Even if she were actually stronger than the man, she’d still have a female brain, adapted to the opposite case. I’m not used to being knowingly feared, so it took me this long to realize a woman is actually showing courage when she makes certain advances. Knowing this makes it all the more lovely.


I'm not going into a lot of detail to as to what can happen to a guy down there during sex, but I'll give you one example. Just biting down during a blowjob, even nibbling a little too hard can be pretty damn painful for a guy. Also, when the girl is on top, leaning too far backwards and squeezing really hard can as well. Plus, when the girls on top she has to always remember to be careful of the balls as well. Being too enthusiastic and coming down too hard and her rear end hitting them with some force can feel almost like a kick in the nuts from what I've been told.

As for "looking more genuine", you have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. It's amateur. Plus, many of these amateur performers are making money through ads on their websites or are selling their content independently. Now, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but you have to admit that there is more room for nefarious things to happen in a amateur production. In the professional porn industry, they have way more strict rules and guidelines to follow.

You say that the industry routinely abuses the performers. Mind telling me how?

Also, it's not up to you if people decide to sell sex. That's the point of sex work - to sell it. That's like saying that art should never be sold because you do it for fun. Like, seriously? It's not your business what people do with their bodies.


I'll watch it later and tell you what I think.

It's true that I have no idea what's happening behind the scenes, but you don't have ex-amatuer actors (from the Western world, anyway) talking about the trauma they've endured and campaigning against porn.

If you want to know how the industry routinely abuses performers, listen to the people who've exited the industry. I have no vested interest in believing that they're making it all up, unlike people still in the industry. EDIT: unless they're Shelley Lubben who probably made quite a lot up.

I never said I wanted to outlaw the porn industr. I was just saying what my attitude to sex was and why I'm inclined to boycott people who try to make serious money out of it. I wasn't telling anyone else what to do, just explaining my own opinion.


Well, one could say that porn in the black market is a form of amateur pornography. It's not regulated and it could even have once been a personal tape. In fact, with amateur stuff, that actually happens a lot. Plenty of ex lovers will release old sex tapes to the internet as a form of revenge. This is a huge issue as the victims of this may not have been aware they were being recorded at the time and they often get harassed and stalked by people. At least with a professional, they know what they are getting into, they are well aware of what is happening and they are more likely to get people to help them out in case of any legal problems.

In 2004, porn star Darren James was diagnosed with HIV. Because of this, the mainstream porn industry in the states almost completely shut down. The fact that they regularly test the performers, recommend the use of condoms (in some companies, it is a requirement) and were willing to stop filming until they investigated the other performers shows that the mainstream porn industry in the united states is, by and large, concerned with the welfare of their performers. And while many businesses do evil things, the porn industry are especially f**** if they are doing something illegal, especially considering how many people are actively trying to ban it or restrict what they do.

I think it's interesting that you accuse current porn stars of lying for the industry and don't question the intentions of the ones attacking it. How do I know that these people are genuine and why would these current porn stars lie? And even if they are genuine, how would it mean that the entire industry is wrong? It could be that particular director or that particular company or whatever.

You don't agree with banning the porn industry, but you want to boycott people that want to make money from sex on camera? That's the same thing as boycotting the industry. Or is it that they can make so much money until you think it's wrong? How much are people allowed to make from sex, Puddingmouse? How much until you think it's unethical and exploitation? If I paint something and sell it in a gallery for, say, £2000, is that unethical? What about if someone makes a print of it and I get a share of the profit? Does it devalue my work if it's printed on paper or viewable on a screen? To me, what you are saying about sex is tantamount to saying that I can't sell my art for "serious money" because that's somehow immoral to make a profit from my own work, of my own volition.

Oh, I see that you watched the video I sent you, but you still haven't named the other ex-porn stars you mentioned. If you can give me a list of names, I would be very grateful.


Sex and art aren't the same thing. The analogy doesn't even work because no-one was ever raped by a painting or felt degraded when making a collage.

Too much money (FOR ME) is simply when it's made primarily for the money instead of just the kick of having sex on camera.

As for the privacy thing - there's the issue that they're not going to recall your video if you don't want it out there any more in pro porn. Not that that negates the problem with amatuer you raised, which is a valid point.

Anyway, you can't make me watch pro porn just like I can't make you stop watching it. I don't like professional porn. It's boring and joyless and exploitative in the same way every other capitalist enterprise is. I'm not obliged to like it. I don't like watching people have sex for money. It's not my thing. I don't like the idea of money and sex mixing. That's just the way I am.

I can't be bothered with the discussion, or getting you that long list. You can take this as you winning the debate, if you like - I'm not bothered. People have different values when it comes to sex. Go and enjoy yourself.


I think I get what you're saying. That with pro porn they are just doing it for the money and aren't really enjoying it or getting into it and all, so except for the fact of penetration and the guy's orgasm, it's basically simulated sex. And it's definitely simulated desire. Is it the fact that there is no real lust and desire and "OMG I really just want to screw your brains out and I don't care if somebody films it or not!" feeling there the thing that makes you not like it?

... and the real world consequences of these dreadful processes for actua people are...?


There's a growing generation of kids exposed to this stuff, and its probably bringing them up with unrealistic expectations about sex and just generally head f***ing an entire generation.

I think rape will probably become more common too. It might not be happening in any immediate sense, but just wait till society just collapses a little bit more. Prostitution and rape will probably run rampant at some point due to this over-saturation to porn. Its really just a giant social experiement, and we really don't know where its leading to because this is the first time in history so much unlimited access to porn has been available to everyone, but I think its a very possible outcome. I wouldn't be surprized either that juvenile to juvenile sexual abuse may become more common as well, since a bunch of 8 year olds are looking at porn now and are likely to copy and emulate what they're exposed to.

http://news.oneindia.in/2013/04/22/is-t ... 99489.html

This is probably a more valid correlation than simply concluding the internet reduces rape because rape rates were lower in states that addopted the internet first.


Well, either that or every guy that ever gets a job delivering pizza is going to expect to be paid with a blowjob.

Yay! I got it right! In other words, porn is like the veggie burger of sex. It looks like the real thing, it works like the real thing, but it's just not as satisfying ;-)

Sort of like those phone sex lines where you talk to somebody that pretends to be into it when actually they are watching tv with the sound off or doing their nails the whole time.

Of course it's comparable. Art is a very personal thing for people and people who make art are selling something that is a part of them. Many commercial artists get exploited, don't get paid properly, treated like crap, taken advantage of through "unpaid internships" (which are illegal), get their work stolen, are plagiarized, etc. Anything that anyone is willing to pay for can be commodified and just like all industries, there are always a few cases of poor treatment. It doesn't mean that the entire industry is corrupt.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant, but I still disagree. if someone gets a kick out of having sex on camera, good for them. However, some people do it for a living while also getting getting a kick out of it. Even if they only did it for money, who cares? It's up to them what they do.

Of course they won't recall the video. the actor already signed a contract saying that they were going to be in the film. I made a movie one time (not a porn film) and i had to sign a contract saying that the company owned the copyright to my content. It also gave them the right to edit my stuff. Now I have the original version, but they re-edited it when they put it online. I agreed to the conditions of the contract, so I can't complain. That's just something that happens in the media. I mean, if Will Smith did a movie and later on decided that he didn't want the film to be released, well too bad - he already made the decision. The company can't afford to start all over again. How is porn any different in this scenario?

You don't have to like professional pornography. If you prefer amateur stuff, that's great, but try to understand why I support the porn industry. It's not because I won't have fapping material if it gets dismantled - it's because I don't want it to become a black market where people really get exploited. Prohibition doesn't work.

Also, do you watch movies? Listen to music? These are art forms AND capitalist enterprises. Sometimes they're more artsy, sometimes they're more capitalist, but if you buy a piece of art, that is capitalism. does that reduce the beauty of the work? It is possible for something to be an artistic endeavor as well as a capitalist enterprise. the two are not mutually exclusive.

I wasn't here to "win" a debate. I just wanted to communicate my point. I'm actually a little disappointed because if there are instances of real exploitation towards porn performers then that should be addressed. I mean, just because I support the legality of something, it doesn't mean it's totally flawless.

Precisely my point.


I still believe that this speaks more about mindsets than the porn itself, but I'm done arguing. It reminds me of the Madonna/whore issue. Because everything is of course that black and white. :?
:roll: I pointedly didn't say that 'sex' is like that, or that 'all porn' is like that; I said 'traditional porn.' By which I mean most professional, main-stream porn. Part of my problem with that is that it *isn't* like what any woman I know, at least know well enough to talk about the subject, would consider 'good' sex. I've known more than one woman who's had a boyfriend who tried to use that sort of talk, that sort of change-position-every-10-seconds, that sort of go-for-15-minutes-straight sort of intromission. It reminds me of men who think that the male look preferred by gay men is the same as the male look preferred by women: what attracts us, and what we find sexy, is often not the same. One of the problems with porn is that actresses pretending to enjoy that sort of thing convince some young men that it IS 'what women want.'

Well, if that's the case then wouldn't that make porn more ethical than "real sex"? I dunno, but the veggie burger analogy kinda backfired there.

It's not simulated sex if two people are actually having sex. A simulation would be, like, an animation of sex or something cleverly edited to look like it's sex. If they are actually engaging in sex on screen, it's still sex even if it's done for the pleasure of the audience and not entirely for their own pleasure.

Oh and please don't determine for others what sex is more satisfying for them. It's their sexuality.

I have no problem with porn. I was trying to ask if I had interpreted Puddingmouse's position correctly. And ethics have nothing to do with the veggie burger analogy. That meant that while it may look and taste like the real thing, it is not. The way porn looks like people who are attracted to each other doing things they want to do to each other when in fact they are just following a script. I was trying to ask whether or not I had her opinion about it correct. I personally like porn from time to time.

As for determining what makes sex satisfying for others, you actually think I did that there? I did not, I said that a real hamburger is more satisfying than a fake one - for an analogy.

That's a sentiment that anyone worth knowing would agree with. But isn't it a little bit different to what you were saying earlier?

Earlier, you seemed to be saying that people who like certain kinds of sex / porn have bad taste. In other words, their values are wrong or misinformed or immature or something. If you think that other people's values are actually wrong, doesn't it make it a bit empty to say "people have different values" as if it is a generous thing to say?

If you think about it, this post is absolutely bizarre. Whatever you think a stereotypical "mother" should be like, they are one of the few classes of people that you can actually guarantee has had sex (ignoring some technicalities).

The fact that your post makes perfect sense at first glance might be a reflection of how weird society is when it comes to sex.

That's a sentiment that anyone worth knowing would agree with. But isn't it a little bit different to what you were saying earlier?

Earlier, you seemed to be saying that people who like certain kinds of sex / porn have bad taste. In other words, their values are wrong or misinformed or immature or something. If you think that other people's values are actually wrong, doesn't it make it a bit empty to say "people have different values" as if it is a generous thing to say?


No, I just said I couldn't help but suspect that specifically people who make vomit porn without getting paid for it are a bit mentally ill. I also said I wasn't proud of the fact that I think that, but it's like an idea that I can't get rid of. Everyone has thoughts that aren't very PC, I just feel the need to voice them because I like to be open. I didn't mean it as a statement of fact or even any sort of argument; I was just revealing a thought that's popped into my mind before.

Also, I didn't mean 'everyone has different values' like it was a generous thing to say. It was just a truism really because I was tired of debating why I don't like watching people who get paid to have sex. A way of saying, each to their own.

Everyone thinks some other people have bad taste; otherwise they wouldn't have their own preferences. A lot of people would say I have terrible taste, but whatever, it's not worth me getting offended over. I don't care to change anyone else's values but there's a reason I have my own.

Plus, I was talking about vomiting specifically. I wasn't talking about being submissive or masochistic in general. I've said this many times in this thread. The physical mechanisms of vomiting are why I just don't see how it can be erotic.

Not sure about that at all. People will often say things like "I don't get jazz music" or "jazz music isn't for me", without the implication that people who like jazz music have bad taste.

Not sure about this either. If you accept that being whipped can be erotic, then why can't puking on a cock be erotic? They are both uncomfortable, and the appeal of both presumably comes from the idea that you are being "used" for the other person's pleasure.

But isn't that what you're not supposed to do? I mean, nobody gives homophobes credit for "being honest" when they say whatever pops into their head.

I don't know. I guess I don't like thought-policing. I'm not asking for credit for it. I also think there is a difference in wondering if some sexual acts are basically abusive and someone being homophobic because they're grossed out by gay sex. My problem isn't the grossness of puking on a cock (although I do find it gross, that's irrelevant), it's that I just can't see how that particular act could be done in a non-abusive context.

There's this line that you have to toe in polite society that any and every sexual act if consented to is never abusive - I just have a hard time toeing that line when it comes to puking on a cock. I'm that kind of arseholish person that doesn't know how to censor themselves. If people want to tell me I'm wrong and judgmental for that, I genuinely don't mind. I've had lots of prejudiced thoughts before and I've only got rid of them by voicing them and having them challenged. That's why I do it; I'm not interested in looking like I'm a civilised, open-minded person; I want to actually challenge my ideas.

I've already said why I don't think puking can be erotic; I just don't see how the pleasure/pain signals can get mixed up there. I don't even see how you can enjoy the thought of being dominated whilst your puking because you're totally occupied by the unpleasantness of the puking and wanting it to end.
