I think part of the “problem” is that chick porn has been expressed in literary terms rather than cinematic. Maybe its been safer that way – for a girl to settle down with a “nice book” – so its been hidden porn so to speak?? It usually means I have to fill in the visuals in with imagination/translation from the erotic or semi-erotic that I read.

Having the hotness of Sookie and Bill, or Anias Nin’s vignettes in actual visual terms would totally do it for me. And for my older mom – the guilty pleasure that swooning housewives in the late 60/70s had with someone like Barnabas Collins – in a more fulfilled an “graphic” way rather than the “innuendo that followed” would be a major score.

lisavol: rebecca, curly and toywithme ALL said something about watering the lawn naked!! (well, to be precise, rebecca said something about watering a GARDEN naked, but the other two said LAWN.)

ok, so stoogepie makes a couple of good points, unsurprisingly. porn is about fantasy. you might say that some porn is more documentary in nature, but underneath it all is the reality that it is UNreal.

and that’s why we like it. reality, most of the time, for most of us, is mundane.

what i’m seeing/hearing here is that the _degree of unreality_ is a fine line: the goal is to place the carrot just out of reach, but not too far. the actors should be attractive enough to make us want to fuck them, but not be so plastic that they seem unattainable and foreign and bizarre.

to a degree, arguing that skanks shouldn’t be in porn and then arguing for more realism are not consistent… skanks ARE realistic, and for a lot of men, very sexy and fuckable. why? because 1) it’s a fantasy, and you don’t get stds in a fantasy, and 2) because skanks will do anything and ask for more. epic win!

that’s just the CASTING stage.

as far as the content, i think more shots of cunnilingus would be a no-brainer for woman-friendly.

due to the fact that the vast majority of porn consumers are males aged 12-70, that’s what the market caters to. however, i do not think that precludes identifying an emerging opportunity to cash in on more woman-friendly niches.

one key difference should be kept in mind: men are much more visually stimulated than women are. hence you show a guy a shot of girl getting hammered, he pops a hard on. show a woman the same picture, and she wonders about everything ELSE but the fucking… like how did she get there, how does she feel, whether or not they’d ever do the same thing in the same way with the same guy, etc. since the market for PORNO is GRAPHIC in nature this is a significant obstacle to true woman-porn. how does one convey safety, attention, security, wealth, fidelity–all those buzz words that REALLY get the majority of women IN THE MOOD to get their panties wet??
