You sound so young, jfc.

Arousal is like 90% thanks to your imagination anyway. Especially for women. So, yeah, just looking at random pictures can get the brain juices flowing, but it usually won't get the lady juices flowing unless you start thinking sexy thoughts. I follow some porn blogs on tumblr and it's like "cool, nice dick," "cool, nice boobs." Unless I want to masturbate and I decide put some fantasy with the picture I'm looking at, eh, I feel almost nothing.

You still use your imagination when watching porn or looking at sexy pictures. But whatever. Whatever gets you off. Sometimes I don't read or look at any porn. Now that's using your imagination.

Nah, even a lot of dudes are turned off by mainstream porn, hence the explosive popularity of amateur stuff. Couples who look like they're actually into it, do some foreplay, real female orgasms, etc.

Yeah. Think about it: "mainstream" porn is produced for the vanishingly small fraction of the populace that STILL PAYS FOR PORN. Some mainstream.

[ariakas]

As someone who is tangentially involved in the industry: yes, the still-pays-for-porn demographic comes in a few specific flavours. 1) Individual, personalized cam work, 2) Extreme niche shit that's hard to find free examples of, and 3) Really, really old dudes who haven't figured out how to get it for free.

The huge blonde wigs and fake titties and lip injections are there to please your grandpa. If you're under 50, most men your own age are watching amateur.

Unless they like scat or vomit.

AYRT

Yeah, that's a fair distinction in terms of who pays for porn. Also, you notice that the big thing in so-called-mainstream porn these days is porn parodies of popular/kitschy source material? I'm pretty sure that's because those are fun to show at parties, which are one of the only places you still need actual porn videos.

This made me think I read this secret wrong. I thought they were talking about original erotica vs. fan fiction erotica, because I had the same experience with it. The writing in mainstream erotica is boring and the stories are horrible, and all the good fan fiction I've read over the years (while having to wade through the bad) has left me no patiences for sub par stories.

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting. I have also read a few original erotica stories written by former fanfiction writers and also found them very disappointing compared to their fanfiction output, but I attribute this to the fact that some fanffic writers underestimate how much easier fanfiction is compared to original writing.

With original stories, you need to make the reader care about the story and your characters. This is much harder than most realize, because with fanfiction, you have a captive audience of fans who are already predisposed to like the characters and the general premise of their backstory and interaction (otherwise we would not bother finding fanfiction written about them, would we?) And fan is short for fanatic, meaning we are already fanatics when it comes to our liking of these characters and are likely to forgive a lot simply because we just want more of them (be it typos, bad grammar, sub-standard story telling etc. Ack!) So when we find a decent story written by a decent author, we are over the moon and lose our perspective...
