So recently I've been doing some soul searching...

Well not really, but I needed to start by saying something slightly pretentious and insightful. I've been thinking about my porn-consumption and I noticed that I'm kind of into porn where there is a story.

Sure, two, three, fifty-five people going at it, slapping body parts together and letting everything flow, dribble and spray is fun and gets the blood pumping, but I've noticed that sometimes I just need something extra added to my porn. The stuff that really gets me hot and bothered is just a bit more than merely people having sex.

So thinking about my own habits I noticed that the porn that really does it for me, is the kind where there is a story locked in from the beginning.

Example:

Two people are having sex, in the scene there is nothing about these two people that indicates they have a relationship going on. It's literally 2 strangers having sex. It's fine, it does what it needs to do, but am I really stimulated?

Same people are having sex, but in this case they are described as two brothers having sex. The exact same scene plays out, but there is an added layer of story there. It's taboo, they're brothers, without stating it, there is a whole history there and a possible future. Context to the same scene adds to its erotic nature.

Same scene, but instead of two brothers, they're two straight friends, five minute intro added, in which we learn that they're both married, but haven't seen their wives in a while and they're drunk and talking about sex, one of them dares the other to show his dick in order to compare and see who is the biggest and manliest. The rest of the scene just plays out like in the original scenario... and all of a sudden I'm way more into it than expected.

Am I alone in that? I know that in general men don't really care about story and context, because porn is porn and sex is sex, so it's two people getting it on, for what should be a 10 minute wank-break, everything else gets skipped.

To me that's good porn... the stuff where you go from two strangers in a well-lit room doing nasty stuff, to telling a story where two people are getting it on.

Jean-Daniel Cadinot was very good at story telling, and developing eroticism. Somewhere along the line, it all became formulaic, and boring. That's why I don't normally watch porn produced by the larger studios anymore.

Probably a couple of factors.

1. The brain likes variety. To get the same reaction, it needs different stimulation. So some guy getting pumped without context gets boring quickly. Even a scene you like after a while loses it's power over you for the same reason.

2. If the story matches with a fantasy/fetish you have then it amplifies the arousal.

I agree with you @Devken, a story or added dimension to the sex act improves the horniness of it.

This is the same in real life, when I have sex with someone I’ve hooked up with online just because I’m horny it’s doesn’t always satisfy my needs.

If I meet someone and sex happens through mutual attraction or it’s unexpected, then I definitely enjoy it more.

Porn is available everywhere nowadays and it can be boring just to see the physical mechanical act.

A straight friend of mine watches a lot of porn and one of his favourites is a TV channel where the couple actually make love to each other, kissing and pleasing each other as though they are connected rather than a guy fucking a whore.

I like the amateur stuff, and some bareback. Less scripted and no bad attempts at acting. Just pure sex. As much as I loved BelAmi when I was younger, it's just terrible when I see it now. It seems cold and mechanical.

I remember Cadinot's films from way back. As you say, they were good.

Add me to the list of people liking porn that has a story. When I need to pump one out, I will start flipping through PornHub looking for the ones that actually have a bit of dialogue and story. I will flip through a lot of movies before I find one that I like. The ones I skip just jump right into the sex. The ones that get me off are always the ones that tell the story (2 brothers, stepfather/son, 2 straight buddies).

Porn itself is generally bad. It’s not healthy and it’s just so unrealistic as to be comical or cringeworthy.

But some of them are erotic though. Mostly Japanese ones, from what I’ve seen. They focus a lot of ass play, which is what I usually like.

Just wondering. Bad and unhealthy? Where are you getting that? That’s quite a statement to make without any evidence. Are there particular studies you’re drawing from to put forth that statement? Just curious.

The best porn depends on your mood. Sometimes you just want to see a couple of guys doing the 69 or one guy getting sucked off in a really passionate sort of way. Other times you are looking for a story line with all the human dynamics and tensions like a novel might have.

Usually the stuff that turns you on reminds you of past experiences that you would like to relive or improve on.

Story line porn needs to be delivered by good actors, using quality technology and legible audio. Actors should appear to be living their roles, as normal people would do in everyday life. It doesn’t sacrifice the plot for some cheap trick just to get people naked together.

A personal view--
If the porn includes sex, then it needs to happen after there has been a plot developed for getting to it. And when it comes time for the “money shot” try to stay totally away from giving facials.

The actor should either get down on that dick and suck it dry, or find some other place to drop the load without shooting it up noses, in eyes, ears, or hair. The gay facial falls in the same league as the blond female playing with her hair, wearing high heels, and screaming while being screwed.
End of personal view----

Like everything else people get into, porn does have its down side. It can be addictive. Lots of studies and programs are focused on the problem. A google search on porn addiction will provide a library full of information to look at, from the cultural, economic, and mental health perspectives.

One of many handbooks on the subject is titled “Always Turned On”.

I assume it depends on what you like.

There are 1000 answers to the question. My tastes vary from day to day. One day I'll like watching two younger guys go at it - exploring each other's bodies and discovering the pleasures of sex with another man. Other days it's daddies. I never know. It has to be bareback and if there is an internal or cum eating that's a huge bonus. Don't like the cam stuff or POV. I love it when two guys are really into each other. Bedroom, yes. Pool, no. Outdoors, yes. Shower/kitchen, no.
