I only care to see people naked when it's my partner .. and I don't get how watching other people have sex is appealing. At best, it's boring. At worst, it is gross. In between, it feels like watching something private, like someone going to the bathroom.. That's what it's like for me too, and even with my fiancè. I get weirded out and uncomfortable with intimacy. I can't be "sexy" to save my life. I feel like people are asking me to act ridiculously stupid or weird. Like telling me to go streaking through the Kentucky derby with a rubber horsemask on. I just can't see why it's something people want to do. Link to post Share on other sites

I always found it odd that a lot of people I know who like porn, wouldn't want to actually be in the room with the couple having sex in front of them. To me, it's the same thing... just because it's recorded vs live doesn't change I'm still watching two real live people having sex if I'm watching porn, which feels like watching something private. Just like I don't want to see videos of people really being hurt anymore than I want to see people being hurt IRL. *shrug* To me recordings and RL are kind of one the same level.

argar Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I've always seen it as people performing for the camera. Everything about the experience is fake. The dialogue, setting, scenario, and the physical act itself. It is devoid of any real feeling. It's just people going through the motions. I have never gotten a sense of any real intimacy or genuine emotion. It's just people made to look good in order to collect a pay check. In a lot of ways like prostitution. Your notion is far more romantic and appealing to my sensibilities. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites
swirl_of_blue Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I watch porn sometimes, but I can't really call it sexy: it's too fake. Still, I enjoy watching it sometimes even if I don't really like it that much. Link to post Share on other sites
The_Reluctant_Dragon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I see it as more of a regular basic thing. I look at it and I think “this is two adults having sexual intercourse while being videotaped”. Then I think “I never want to do that”. It can be boring, upsetting, disgusting, and downright confusing, at least to me. I think I see it that way since I’m sex indifferent. Link to post Share on other sites
vmdraco Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I can't say I've watched legit porn to actually form an opinion, but whenever I've seen glimpses online or stumbled on it I just think it's weird. I don't understand what is appealing or attractive about the "things" that happen, or why there is so much emphasis on the "things". I do have fetishes, but I'm only engaged if it has to do with that and not based on genitals. So whenever I see genitals I'm not turned on at all, just uncomfortable. I'm much less uncomfortable with female parts, though, but men's parts just make me squeamish and I don't know why. Link to post Share on other sites
LadyFie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's very weird, kind of disgusting and sometimes even scary, but my body still gets turned on a little bit. (I've never really watched actual porn, though. Just saw some scenes or pictures or sex scenes in movies or something similar.) Link to post Share on other sites
Ash_fi Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 For me it's weird. Even music videos with female artists squirming are just very odd to me - like Shakira in the "She wolf". Why would they do that, for what? It is the very opposite of what I find attractive in people. Now I know it should tickle some very basic instinct in me but it's just off. Sometimes I feel sorry for the actors, sometimes I feel sorry for those who are addicted to porn (and their partners who suffer the most). Mostly I try not to think that there is this kind of industry. In that way it is upsetting. If there are long sex scenes on films then I think the film is weak and can't stand on its own. Same goes with books. Link to post Share on other sites
Rhaenys Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Probably gonna be the odd one out here but I have a pretty high libido sometimes I need to "get stuff done" 3-5 times a day (mostly when I'm anxious) and I need a visual aid. I do find it arousing and it helps me relax. Link to post Share on other sites
Hazell Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 There's nothing odd Rhaenys. Everybody has different needs! I do not find porn good nor bad it's just a visual stimulation somebody needs to feel good! Personally I don't need to watch porn movies Link to post Share on other sites

Famethyst Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I've never actually seen/watched porn, but I imagine it would look weird and maybe be a little funny, though mostly because I usually associate porn with bad cinematography and corniness. I could also see being a little disgusted, but I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites

Amber79 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I avoid it at all costs because it makes me feel horrified, disgusted and weirdred out. It's too voyeristic for me, I feel like I'm peering through someone's bedroom window, it's just wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

Pramana Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I don't see the appeal. Pornography is boring and gross. And some genres engage the viewer in ethically problematic attitudes. Link to post Share on other sites
GreenCircles Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've never actively sought it out, but on the occasions where I've accidentally run across it online, I have found it gross and weird, and I don't want anything to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Samby Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Curiosity primarily. I wonder how it would feel to be in those situations but I don't want to actually be in them myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm not asexuaI, but I find porn reaIIy siIIy and cringe haha! the onIy type of 'porn' I've ever been abIe to enjoy is torture,generaIIy with no sex happening (the reaI stuff, not fake by the way). You can find the vids on more extreme porn sites because peopIe get off on them, but they're more Iike non-IethaI snuff than porn. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I guess it depends on what's happening and who it's happening with. It can range from "OK" to "oh go away". Link to post Share on other sites

oldgeeza Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 In my line of work, porn movies are easy to get a hold of, I've even picked them up to give to someone else, I've never watched a porn movie, it just does nothing for me, never appealed to me to even watch one, but I guess each to their own.

try again Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Society is so sex oriented, that sometimes just seeing an ad will trigger desire. Internet is almost impossible to surf without ad-blocker for the same reason. I do not care for real life action porn, but sometimes i quite like the drawn erotic art, because i find gentle curves and lines of the body to be very pleasing to the eye.

Lemonsky Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The times I've seen porn randomly (since I never deliberately look it up), it feels unnerving depending on the situation. I don't exactly like seeing porn as I'm often really averse to the idea of sex in general. I don't really see the appeal either but I won't judge if others do. Link to post Share on other sites

AussieIsAce Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 regular porn doesnt bother me...like its fine. i can view it but i dont get anything out of it. its like a boring i guess annoying thing. fetish porn makes me very uncomfortable...sorry but i cant watch people gag or get slapped or worse. i enjoy and get turned on by a plate of cheese and bread being given to me Link to post Share on other sites
Torple Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't get the appeal. Plus, if you look at porn, doesn't that automatically make you a voyeur? Link to post Share on other sites
Salted Karamel Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm generally unbothered by sexual things but I find most porn to be grosser than real sex tbh. They're always so focused on the particularly gross aspects—like, LAZER FOCUSED. Link to post Share on other sites
OldSoul Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So I'm a full blown adult who has never watched any porn. I've seen some pornographic images online, but I just scroll right by them. I can't even recall them as I type, because it's like I'd just seen a picture of a chair. Do I know what a chair is? Yep. Do I remember every chair I've ever seen? No. That's how I always describe it. It's an apathy. Link to post Share on other sites
