to admit to liking porn

I did recently, in a pub I frequent, and was met with derision by most of the female patrons.

There were a number of red(dish) faces, when I said I like my porn written, as the pictures were better, and no-one was exploited.

There were more red faces when I asked if any of them had heard of 50 shades of Grey?

[Incidentally, I worry about kids brought up on modern visual porn from the limited exposure I have had to it [the odd stag do and the like]; the women don't look like women; I've never heard any women say the things they do; and all the men are - I presume - unfeasibly large and endowed with superhuman endurance, and an antipathy to condoms and limited ideas of how to experience orgasm]

Thank you to the many posters who've articulated what I was trying to put my finger on...OMC it's:

Creepy to drip feed your real porn habit to us and to the women at the pub

Creepy to pretend to be 'right on feminist guy'

Creepy to pretend to be unaffected by critical responses and meet all challenges in a faux light hearted, 'humorous' way

solidgoldbrass · 15/09/2012 22:17

ProudNScary: What you're basically saying is that anyone who doesn't share your worldview is creepy. Which is an opinion you are entitled to hold but it must restrict your social life a bit.

Numberlock · 15/09/2012 22:22

That wasn't my question, was it. What happens when the porn's on, do you all have a group wank or hide your erections?

And what is pneumatic porn?

MySpanielHell · 15/09/2012 22:22

SGB, I read the blog - Bitchy Jones - that you suggested to somebody ages ago.

It was hilarious and has totally changed my opinion of BDSM. It is such a shame that she deleted most of the posts. Thanks for suggesting it.

Proudnscary · 15/09/2012 22:30

Nothing to do with worldview.

I dislike OP's attention-seeking, dishonest, cringey style of posting.

I find it creepy.

OneMoreChap · 15/09/2012 22:42

Numberlock What did I do? Drank whisky. Talked to other similarly old disinterested gits.

Pneumatic? Ladies who have had unfeasibly large implants, making them look Barbiesque.

FWIW Proudnscary, I find you accusatory, judgemental and holding views for which you can provide no backing...

Right-on feminist guy? You're having a laugh.

Unaffected by critical responses? Pretty much, yes. Ever since AnyFucker told me to grow a thicker skin a year or so back when I was accused of being an unknowing rapist.

Fortunately, I value your opinion as much as you value mine.

I wonder who has the greater social skills and more successful relationships in real life.

So you've held a grudge for a year about something one poster said, a poster with fairly hardline views. That doesn't quite suggest you are unnaffected by critical response (your faux breezy,terribly reasonable replies are pretty transparent).

OneMoreChap · 16/09/2012 08:51

AnyFucker I hold no grudge against - at all - she's the reason I'm still here! She encouraged me to leave in a thread what was in a thread.

Possibly age, posssibly huge numbers of newsgroups and forums inform my posting style.

Proudnscary · 16/09/2012 08:55

I don't think I should have posted on this thread, it was a bit pointless and unfair of me.

We don't see eye to eye and your 'style' jars with me but that's not your fault!

I'm sorry for any gratuitously critical remarks I've made. I certainly don't want to get into a slanging match.

I too hold AF in great esteem, after a shaky start where I just didn't 'get' her.

OneMoreChap · 16/09/2012 16:51

Thank you for a generous post. I didn't intend to cause offence here. I'll try and watch my posting style more carefully.

i enjoy the odd spot of porn, either video or internet, or sometimes written

nothing wrong with it, its gone on since cavemen drew on their cave walls im sure

perfectly natural for both women and men to enjoy it

AnyFucker · 16/09/2012 19:33

Bloody hell, OMC, I am responsible for you still being here ?

I thought it best to do myself in, before someone else did the honours Grin

Proudnscary · 16/09/2012 20:16

Now now Mrs AF, that is not in the spirit of things

TiggyD · 16/09/2012 21:02

Wonder if anybody on here has DONE porn? I've had a few offers of filming me in...er...more special interest stuff, but I wouldn't like the pressure of having to perform. I'm not good with lots of people in the room.

solidgoldbrass · 16/09/2012 23:19

Yes. By some definitions, anyway. Have not actually fucked or been fucked on camera but done quite a lot of other things.

AnyFucker · 17/09/2012 19:04

Tiggy, you being rather rude to not come back and respond to Sgb

TiggyD · 17/09/2012 20:31

I have to go to bed sometime Any.

There are, like most things, rather a lot of grey areas with porn. How rude does it have to be? Who says what is rude? Are photos of your loved ones you might have porn?
Porn is kind of 'in the eye of the beholder' a lot of the time. I'm fine with most of it: Consenting adults, etc.

AnyFucker · 17/09/2012 20:37

ah, there you are

TiggyD · 17/09/2012 20:52

If you miss me that much we could set up one of those yoghurt pot string telephone things.

AnyFucker · 17/09/2012 20:55

heh

solidgoldbrass · 18/09/2012 09:59

Sorry, Tiggy, I meant to ask, by 'porn' do you mean exclusively 'performing sex acts in front of a camera' or are you including phone sex, writing sexually explicit material, etc? While I have appeared in front of cameras it's been fetish stuff so no actual shagging...
