Re: TMI TIME

I like things in porn and porny fics that are the opposite of what I like in real life. And I'm not sure what to do with that.

There is also the fact that while on a moral level I have problems as a woman with how exploitive porn is, I get really turned on by the kind of stuff I have a problem with (het porn where the only focus is the man's pleasure, lesbian porn that is clearly male gazy, kinky stuff without safewords)

Really not sure what to do with that. Those things are an instant turn-off during actual sex, and I don't fantasize about them, but yet they turn me on in visual or written form.

Try saying this:

We need a greater range of pornography than just this narrow male-gaze stuff. Sure, it's fine for those who like it, but to pretend that this is the be-all and end-all of human desire is just plain silly, and its dominance as the assumed "norm" in porn perpetuates a lot of harmful old ideas. It can be better appreciated as the fantasy it is when it exists within a context of many different kinds of fantasy.

How's that sit with you? Would that be a position you're comfortable taking? Still leaves room for you and all the other folks who dig it, but acknowledges that folks like me, who do not dig it, are being underserved.

That's... a really good way of putting it, actually. I just hate that this stuff turns me on and don't understand how I'm turned on by something that is the opposite of my actual sexual fantasies.

I don't know what the reason is for it, but I can tell you that it's normal. I'm turned on by stuff in porn and smut that I do not like at all in real life. I think a lot of other people are, as well.

You know how some people are turned on by things that scare them? It's almost cathartic in a way. I wonder if this is the same sort of thing.

Glad that take works for you, anon. And seriously, DO NOT beat yourself up over it. Feeling like you do is incredibly common, so we're mostly all in the same boat together. :)

If it helps, I really love porny fics and certain types of porn but in 'real life' I am 100% asexual and have zero interest in sex or any sexual relationship. Sometimes fantasy has very little to do with anything in reality.

I saw a comment on here once comparing it to liking h/c or angst fic. You don't have any interest in torture or whatever, but you still get satisfaction from reading those types.
