It's about anatomy and camera angles. You watch enough of it, and the rare actress who isn't faking it really stands out. Does anyone really think the woman who moves her hair out of the way of the camera while she gives some guy a blowjob is really enjoying herself?<BR/><BR/>It's all directorial priorites and poor acting. Male directors just want to get everyone naked as quickly as possible and see how many improbable positions they can fit into an hour and fifteen minutes. The abysmal acting and unsynchronized voice-over moaning only make it worse. <BR/><BR/>There was a time when real directors and actors ventured into the dirty little corners of pornoland--think the XXX version of Caligula. The result was pretty good. I can imagine that female-directed porn aimed at a female audience might be ok too, as long as it doesn't sink too deep into schmaltzy romantic drivel. <BR/><BR/>Me, I'm a big fan of sex up against a back-alley wall (or an office wall, or a stable wall, or over a desk, or on the kitchen floor, etc). Wherever it happens, there has to be a sense of urgency, of tension, of excitement that is just soooo lacking in pornography.<BR/><BR/>And with erotica, I don't mind some sexual content on the first page. If the writing is good, there will be tension there even if I don't know the character's name. But it's kind of like the opening action teaser of a big movie, or the appetizer in a nine course dinner. Not really necessary, and likely forgotten by the end of the meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1161729916484159882006-10-24T22:45:00.000+00:002006-10-24T22:45:00.000+00:00Thanks, Erik!

I get annoyed when there's a phone call or a pager or a visitor like ten times in the first fifteen chapters. That gets to book-hurling territory and I'll grumble, "Oh get on with it already." <BR/><BR/>As a sidenote I think few authors do a bang up job (pun intended) of making it hot for me. They either go overboard and it veers into purple, they go overly romantic with the euphemisms and I can't tell who's doing what or they go ultra-clinical. It's a tough balance.Ann Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076423626210129278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1161641082152420972006-10-23T22:04:00.000+00:002006-10-23T22:04:00.000+00:00Hi Michelle!

It's the romance that makes us ladies hot, not just watching body parts interlock.<BR/><BR/>BTW, those are some pretty intense nightmares. I suggest several shots of vodka before bed. Helps me. :-)<BR/><BR/>Cyn, I agree. People don't wait so long anymore, and I think it's a shame. Even a few weeks ups the anticipation factor!<BR/><BR/>I'm telling my daughters they better wait until marriage. I don't think they really will, but I'm hoping that if I stress the importance of it they'll at least wait until they're with someone who cares about them, you know?Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969399927758009095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1161638187970080932006-10-23T21:16:00.000+00:002006-10-23T21:16:00.000+00:00the longer you put it off, the better it is. this ...the longer you put it off, the better it is. this doesn't seem to happen much with anyone but virgins these days. haha! but i'm speaking from a female perspective. imagine a few months of making out, heavy petting and the like before doing "it". wow. who waits that long these days? pity.cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911692378593865493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1161635088182433782006-10-23T20:24:00.000+00:002006-10-23T20:24:00.000+00:00Porn is not about romance, it's about pure, red, b...Porn is not about romance, it's about pure, red, base, lust. It's literally about the act, not the people at all. It mind as well just be all peni and vagainas. No brains or people need to be attached. Not that there's much wrong with this. you know, when you have kids and only the exterior doors have locks there's very little time for romance.<BR/>But you can try the Showtime late night movies, which don't show anything other than breasts and butt, or Bliss on Oxygen. <BR/>What I like it funny porn. Okay, and Weird porn, but that's usually too bizarre to be turned on by. You have to put too much effort into understanding it. <BR/>Porn is for men, and men are turned on by seeing things like nudity and sexual thing. Men almost always need to see something. Just having it implied, or reading erotica doesn't do much for men because in the end it's just words. My husband has pointed this out to me as a reason he doesn't enjoy most fiction. He never does get sucked into the story like I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19623437.post-1161623344401164482006-10-23T17:09:00.000+00:002006-10-23T17:09:00.000+00:00Shoot, sorry, Jenn!

I'm surprised that link wasn't blocked by "Big Brother".<BR/><BR/>I think it's like real sex. If you have to wait a little while it makes it better. A little longer still and it makes it more intense (but quicker, no doubt!). Very much longer than that and I'm frustrated and outta there. <BR/><BR/>And that's where the author earns her keep. You have a window to hit and you had better hit it. Too soon and it's not as good. Wait too long and the reader drops the book out of frustration. -JTC<BR/><BR/>Someone's trying to kick in my dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
