Porn/erotica

There are plenty of threads about porn-many posters seem to accept it as a fact of life. And there seems to be a feeling that objecting to porn is also objecting to masturbation-which is clearly daft. Most people's problem with porn is about ethics. Are the people involved properly consenting? Properly paid? Properly looked after? We have no means of knowing.

So can I put in a plea for erotica? Freely available, nobody is harmed and absolutely anything is possible. The only limit is the writer's imagination. Give it a try! My personal preference is fanfic-but there are plenty of other free and paid for sources.

Can you suggest any good examples?

Most men are never going to be satisfied by erotica. They need the visual. I like to read sexy things and paint a picture in my mind but I still like to see images too. Porn can be very in your face and gross at times, but I like to look at the naked movie scenes of an actor I fancy and nude pictures of him, which I suppose is not much different to getting off to porn, so I would be a hypocrite to be actively against it.

@GigiAnnna How do you know men would never be satisfied by erotica? They were for a very long time. And men who care about the ethics of porn will manage!

There's a huge difference between a named, paid, consenting actor and a series of anonymous people we know nothing about who could be abused, exploited, trafficked. No hypocrisy there!

@GroanWoman there's plenty of erotic writing available-try Amazon or Waterstones for a start. As I said, I go for fanfic-I like to find stories about characters on TV or in books. Try AO3 for a start- here. archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/3390

The porn industry is huge. Some men might wank off to a book or an audio but I'd bet my life that the vast majority would prefer to see some pussy, tits and ass. You're naive if you think different.

I completely understand your perspective on the ethical concerns surrounding the adult entertainment industry. It's vital to consider the well-being and consent of those involved.

Erotica is indeed a fantastic alternative for those who want a guilt-free, imaginative escape. It's a world where creativity knows no bounds. I've found that free vr porn offer a unique and immersive experience if you're open to exploring. But you're absolutely right; finding your preferred avenue, whether it's fanfic or other sources, is all about personal choice.

The porn I've watched is just laughable. All that fake moaning and groaning . It's portraying sex where men are totally in control, the woman is just a receptacle and goes along with Everything suggested . Fuck and go . Real life is just not like this .

Maybe they were satisfied because that's all there was . People who make porn just care about profit .

There is so much erotica available if you have a kindle too, and its often amazingly written!
Jessa Kane, S.B. Hazel, Cleo White, Alexa Riley all put out great stuff - and there's tonnes more! Its a full community

I started to write erotica because I couldn't find anything interesting to read. Having started and self-published,

I've come across some very good self-published authors, but an awful lot of rubbish.

Men managed without the visual for many many years. But hey, believe their bullshit if you want.
