Can we talk about porn?

Libertine men. Scarlet women. And ragtime . . .

Mass hysteria!

Thinking of learning types (aural, visual, kinesthetic) I am definitely a strongly kinesthetic learner with a visual slant. But the visual slant definitely has to do with being able to comprehend via reading. If there's something to be done--learning to bake bread, for instance-- I'd get the most out of it by doing it, then by reading about it, then less so by seeing it, then really-hardly-at-all by hearing about it. (I suspect that the latter has to do with the near-deaf right ear; my listening comprehension has never been good.)

Anyway, this extends to every part of my being. When it comes to this particular topic, I would really rather just have sex-- but reading about it is certainly heaps better than looking at it or hearing it; those two do very little for me.

I do suspect a basic gender difference, though surely generalized as I know there are exceptions. Looking at pornography just doesn't seem sexy to me. Words... words are sexy, though.

(A real body? Even sexier.)

Are we sure Strangler Lewis is not gay?








was that sentence itself pornographic for even suggesting such a thing?

I agree that learning types definately comes into play. Awhile back I notice I was using phrases like, "sounds good," or "I hear ya," quite a bit and realized that while I thought I was a visual person, I had definate aural leanings. I've come to discover that sound can be very sexy as well.

I feel the same way. I've read things that I've found very erotic, and not that I couldn't ogle Edward Norton for a really long time, but actual porn pictures just doesn't do it for me. I tried looking at porn again just yesterday (prompted by this thread) to see if anything had changed, and it just had absolutely no appeal. For one thing, I really don't find random penises to be attractive. Plus, testicles are really funny. Faced with the real thing, of course that's erotic, but pictures? Not so much. I also don't care about 18 yr old boobs. Porn just seems full of bald testicles and young boobs. None of that really does anything for me.

But, yeah, I'd rather just have sex.

Photos are lame, especially if they're just naked people. Ooh, big deal, they're naked. I know plenty of men go for that but as a woman I just do not get it, be it a man or a woman that simply took their clothes off.

No, if I look at porn (which isn't too often) it has to be video, there has to be sound, and there has to be action. And I'm not talking about making out.

I've done the reading porn thing in the past but I can't say I'm a big fan. I find myself skipping the story parts and just getting to the action. I do like fantasy but if it takes too long it's just not worth it. Keeping a basic concept in my head can help me get there but convoluted intrigue is not what I go for when I reach for porn.
