I agree on some level with you Flashy that these are skin flicks, and I am not interested in seeing the date, dinner, movie, stop at starbucks before the fuck scene, but..
That's a long way from some of the fuck scenes that are out there, where the guy does not matter (his dick does) and the woman does not matter (as long as she can deepthroat, do anal or whatever the theme of the movie is).
These are not movie classics, they're designed to get us off. It just seems to me that, like the real life we are in, porn has grown less personal then it once was.
This thread sounds like a round-table discussion at some university... maybe an idea for a class that kids would actually attend. Not to mention that homework and the final would be interesting....
true...i have watched porn evolve from the early 80s to now...
indeed porn is less personal in some ways since it is (effectively) designed now to get you off quickly, but in many ways i find it intensely more personal these days...
I use as an example the amazing explosion of "POV" porn, which is fantastic, as it literally puts you right in the action...it is far more personal (to me at least) than some mid range camera shots of a couple fucking on a beach saying a couple of words to each other and grunting alot.
with POV porn, it is heightening the experience for the viewer, since the actress is supposed to be having sex with the viewer hypothetically...all her attention, actions and words are focused at the viewer and the angles that are naturally used immediately hit the viewer's internal buttons since you can recognize and remember so quickly each position from real encounters etc.
I find that style incredibly personal...not to mention, there were always in porn "solo videos" where the woman masturbates etc and talks to the viewer, and those were always filmed to give the viewer a more "interactive" and "personal" experience.
I could do very well without alot of the more extreme porn that is on the market, such as choking, puking, slapping, demeaning, foot stuff, veerbal abuse, bukkake, and heavy bondage etc, but everyone as their one thing that they like...
I am far from "vanilla" but for me there is a line when it no longer becomes sexy, but becomes either gross, or mean... (but unfortunately in those cases to each their own)
these fetishes were always there, as far back as 40 years ago, but were so far underground, on reels and such, but now they can be easily found....in a world with what, 6.5 billion people each with unique desires and urges and surging technology, it is the natural progression
