I don’t find porn movies generally very sexy. I find hardcore porn movies the least sexy of all.
”But how can that be,” I hear some of you ask, “when hardcore shows nothing but explicit sex? What could be sexier than that?”.
That is indeed the crux of the issue; sex per se isn’t all that sexy. To be truly erotic, the brain must be involved.
If hardcore did show more than just explicit sex, it would be sexier. If it presented characters we cared about, portrayed by skillful actors, it would be sexier. If it followed a discernible storyline, and gradually built up the erotic tension to an explicit conclusion; then it would be sexier.
Instead, hardcore offers poor production values, bad acting, a non-existent plot, laughably fake orgasm noises, and interminably repetitive scenes of penises sliding into vaginas and assorted other orifices…
This concept works well if one were to be locked in a room for the rest of their life and could only pick from network tv, cable or hardcore porn to watch forever.
As a member of a free society I appreciate being able to watch ‘interminably repetitive scenes of penises sliding into vaginas and assorted other orifices’ if the mood strikes me.
“Tease” is writing from a typical female point of view. For their arousal process to kick in, women need to be able to place the characters into a context, they need to see the faces of the performers during the act, and they need to be convinced that the female performer is truly enjoying herself. They need to be drawn in emotionally, as it’s nearly impossible for a woman to separate sex and emotions. For most chicks, a porn movie is an abstraction they cannot relate to (unless they look at it as foreplay to sex with their boyfriends).
Men on the other hand can be aroused via simple visual input: a swinging hip, a nicely shaped boob, a naked woman, a close-up of an inviting vagina, you know the drill… what else does a guy need? I’m pretty sure all men fast forward past any story setup, intro scenes, dialogue etc to get to the meat of the matter. In that sense, most porn is made for men. To be fair, it should be said they are the ones who also need it more then women.
