Less obvious details in porn that distract you


Recommended Posts

Moderator's Note: I split this off from the thread about Less Obvious Details That Turn You On. It seemed like a good topic on it's own, and I didn't want the other thread to get derailed. 

I tend to find some of those "less obvious" elements to be distracting. For example, I watched a movie several time because there was an abstract painting over the bed but the camera angles only showed a portion of it. I had to watch it over again just so I could find a clear establishing shot to see the whole picture.  Yesterday I was at an ABS. There were only a couple people in the theater so I actually sat and jerked to the movie. The movie was pretty hot but in the back of my mind I was thinking that the bedspread was one of the ugliest I'd ever seen.  So yeah, I can sit and watch a movie of hot guys fucking and spend the whole two hours critiquing set design. Does that mean I'm gay?

It means you've read too many home remodeling/renovation articles.... And I too make comments (snide or otherwise) about the set design (usually about the kitchen or the bathroom if the scene is filmed in either of those rooms).

First time I watch a clip, it's all about the action and what's going on, but then I'll begin to notice details in the background of images. Particularly enjoy it when it is filmed in someone's house or room and you can see their personal stuff lying around, rather than a empty tidy anodyne hotel room. These details give little details away about the guy. What he likes: books, pictures, posters, cd/dvds, sports equipment... And also the circumstances of the film: a pile of discarded clothes and sneakers on the floor is more likely to mean it a real-hookup than something that's been intentionally filmed.  

There are extremeds, though: there was a clip I saw sometime ago filmed in a guys room and it was really dirty and messy - garbage on the floor, discarded clothes everywhere, half eaten take-aways, no sheets on the bed- just a bare mattress. On the other hand there was another clip I saw filmed in quite an expensive hotel room that had absolutely no personality or character. After I'd watched it once it had nothing more to draw me in... boring. Perhaps another dimension to all this is the TIM style videos that are filmed in cheap motel rooms and they come off with an atmosphere of someone renting the room to hook up and advertising on Craigslist or whatever. That strikes a balance and is quite a horny atmosphere. 

I guess it's a bit like the stories you read on here - the best ones paint a good picture about the guys using personal details so you can relate to them. And I think the same applies to Porn.

I have to say I quite agree. In fact, I sometimes find some of the amateur material more of a turn on because maybe I can identify with it more - or imagine I could actually be doing that myself.

Videos with annoying sound(s) from airco's, fans, tv or radio commercials, creaking beds and above all excessively whining bottoms or guys who can only say 'fuck yeah' 30x.

Oh yes - I've seen some where the TV is left on BBC News 24 or even UK Daytime TV and you can hear it very clearly - very much a distraction.

I can’t do choreographed porn, unless is like Treasure Island where  it set up like amateur. Other distractions are the usual suspects: ridiculous tattoos (a lot are hot but some are too much), whiny bottoms, guys who fuck forever without cumming, pulling out, guys who leave their pants on and fuck through their zipper, or dudes who hold their own dick while fucking

- porn that just starts and ends without any dramatic development: the hottest porn has a beginning, a build up, several highs, alternate pacing, a climax and an ending. This is for example why porn vids with Ed Hunter in it are so good.

 

- what sometimes disturbs is when the description in no way matches the content, like Arab top fucks etc. and when the video runs you hear the guy speak Portugese or something like that

I'm primarily turned on my amateur porn. Hidden camera and anonymous porn is my favorite. While the photography in a pro shoot is superior, it all seems the same to me.

I don't watch porn any more because I don't have a pornograph to play it on.

Ahem...

A few years ago I saw a profile on Recon of a guy who was really into boots. He posted lots of pics of himself in boots. All different types of boots. One pic was taken by him while he was sitting down--looking down his legs to his cowboy-booted feet, crossed at the ankles, resting on the top of the edge of a low dresser. And just to the left of his boots, in a silver frame, a photo of Marlene Dietrich.  

I have no recollection of what he looked like. But that one image is burned in my mind. Ugh.

It can be slightly distracting, in a charming way, when a dog or cat jumps up on the bed or wanders around in the background. 

I don’t like dogs, so it’s a big ‘Ugh’ from me when one shows up unexpectedly in shot.  The hair, the smell, the doggy breath, the drool- yuck, it turns my stomach and is an instant boner-killer.

But cats! I luuurve them!  It’s so cute when one wanders by while two guys are hard at it, totally unflustered (the cat, that is).  Sometimes they‘ll jump up onto a table or start cleaning themselves: they always get my full attention, and I totally lose interest in what the guys are doing.  In fact, I think I might start a thread exclusively for clips of kitties in gay porn...

No down-votes from dog lovers, please- we’re all wired differently: respect the difference 😉

I would totally follow this thread. Cats are about the only animals that give ZERO fucks. "Oh, you had to get someone else to lick your asshole?  That's cute.  I can lick my OWN pucker.  Can you do that bitch?"
