Porn now vs porn then

Just wondering what are your thoughts on porn down the years especially before the HD/internet era to now assuming that everyone watched porn during that time. I for one didn't really and i think my comments would be very retrospective with a outside looking in approach than those who actually lived and enjoyed watching during them periods.

Is there any instances where porn now is better than it was before, worse or if it's just comparing apples and oranges. Any good or bad points of the porn scenes in both eras, more specifically from the late 90's going to the early 10's where i kind of started to watch.


From my observation of watching a few Tina Cheri scenes, i kind of noticed a few things, and not sure if it was a trend in them days, or just the scenes i watched, but i felt alot of her scenes was short in length (like less than 10 minutes, or 20 minutes at a push if we lucky, alot of background music with not alot of dialogue and moaning.

For me personally, i like lengthy scenes 30 minutes plus is great, even if some of it is just buildup/foreplay and i want to hear the moans and grunts across the scenes. Some music is fine like at the start but not throughout.

Maybe people enjoyed them stuff during that time and had different tastes and attitudes and thought multiple short scenes on a dvd would be great, than a few lengthy ones.

I've noticed that there was noh agenda, back then. Just ppl doing a movie scene that happened to be nude, badly lit, bad music and just sex.

Now? Big black cocks, pedophilia and incest.

7 ft tall black guys, barely 5 ft tall girls that weigh 80 lbs, stepthis and stepthat. (Step-my ass! It doesnt make it any less incesty by adding step to it, it just makes it legal!)

It doesn't feel low budget, anymore. Noh music. Nice houses. Perfectly applied makeup and body foundation. Where once upon a time, nobody could squirt.. apparently everyone can and we'll show you it, in HD from every angle. For an hour.

10 years ago I'd say it was the onset of 'violent' porn. Max hardcore, 'brutal' in titles, 'sexually broken ' was a thing. Sexual violence became mainstream. (ffs 50 shades of grey was a 2010s summer movie trilogy with a badass soundtrack and not backroom 80s porn! Now THAT'S mainstream)

I'd say microtransactions are the video game porn culture, now. 5 bucks to make a girl cum while saying your name, 10 bucks for the panties she used, 50 bucks for a phone call, etc.
My 7 year old niece knows the pornhub theme.

So I'd say it simply became the norm and not 'porn'. As in.. its just a style of movie. A genre, if you will. So its hard to see a trend that isnt influenced by the social media\news.

TikTok fads, BLM, COVID quarantines... Have replaced contrived porn storylines like 'sex trek: the next penetration', Avengers\Star wars\Tomb Raider shoots or period pieces like saloon girl western sets.

Thats the porn trends down the years, imo. It isnt separate from everyday life, now. It isnt even taboo. Its just a part of it.

Thats what i gathered from them scenes. It's like i want to enjoy the full sex and the bad music just ruins it all but also like said i don't think like 40 min plus scenes for a thing back then

The scenes were edited like a music album - spread out, perhaps loosely in order, only a few minutes of each, you know which ones got TLC.. and the scenes ended too soon, but the movies were too long.

I think my favorite series was Michael zen's (?) Stardust. It was like a soap opera, it had a story.. and yet.. i guess i could jerk off to it?

Sidenote: basically what anyone could say about game of thrones! (Until the final 2 seasons)

@Torre82 - you almost perfectly spelled out my thoughts.

Myself happens to just yesterday to have gone through a lot of "old" Peter North scenes, MAN, that looks like some homemade super 8 movie, but I admit, I favor at least HD quality films and photos, and well, please don't make us watch and jump through 20 minutes of awkward and tacky interviews.

Yeah, that LegalPedo thing, I wish they would move on to the next taboo: Church related porn. Boy, don't get me started, this would blow up so high, can you imagine better free pr than the church ladies screaming and hollering about this!

That might explain why scenes are too short and the transitions don't seem smooth.

I think there tends to be different versions. Like one is a dvd version and one like a online version as when i compare the two theres always some bits cut out

True story. A lot of the porn music in the 1970s and early 1980s was written and performed by none other than Lou Reed and his band (though he was never credited as the composer in many of the x-rated films)

I liked many of the films that Shaun Costello made. He was one of the best directors, producers and cinematographers around. Besides porn he also dabbled in the horror film genre.

What a story he tells, from organized crime in the adult industry to wise guys being shot and killed or being taken down by the FBI.

Peter North still about?
 
Porn was in its golden age from about 2003 till 2018 or so. Early 2000s is when the internet made porn a lot cheaper and accessible. Now, instead of paying 30$ for a vhs tape that had maybe 5 or 6 scenes, for $30 a month you could basically turn your computer into your own entire porn store. 2018 is when social media and onlyfans started to dominate everything and ruin porn. Even in this "golden age" it had problems, and there were some things about the 80s and 90s that were better.

The availability is the main thing. Back in the day the VHS/magazines were shared and passed around.

Increased availability meant increased budget and I was all for the models looking better, landing strips and ladies that look like they looked after themselves in appearance.

I suppose cosmetic surgery changed things, initially it was OK but then models started to go too far maybe with the super enhanced boobs and ridiculous facial injections.

Also, the extreme stuff became more centre stage - rough, family, spitting and the whole IR debate Torre82 mentioned too.

I guess with increased popularity/availability comes more genres. Many are just more disturbing than arousing.

My tuppence worth.

Mostly normal, vanilla sex. (That has 2 meanings)

Ideally.. if they aren't chasing the almighty dollar, then they're chasing the almighty agenda?

\posts the latest 4Screenshot_20230622-121247-01.jpeg

2 bbc, 1 transexual (she's a ten) and black girls on white girls.

It isnt the subject, its the overwhelming amount of agenda.

\logs out, clears cookies, heads to google and just searches 'porn videos'

Screenshot_20230622-122002-01.jpeg

A little better? 2 black, 1 incest, it's nice to see the top result is 'best porn video ever'. Why so many xvideos? No hub love? Hm. :(

3 outta 6 are exactly what I mentioned. I suppose more if i felt like correlating the 2 "first time porn" with that 'younger' fetish, it wouldnt be a stretch.

And it wouldnt be so obnoxious, if they only showed an actual variety at many places. Where is the amateur stuff? Where is the story driven porn? The 'movie'? Where is ANOTHER ethnicity? Japanese? Middle eastern? Latina?

\heads over to I-fap (noh i won't post the actual link. Too much piracy), a user-driven site. No agenda besides what the ppl upload!

Ahhh, yus. Actual stuff from actual people. Ah, a furry! Rock on, my good pervert. :)

Wait, is that...

HOLY SHIT IT'S COCO! \points at the bottom one

Well, I have noticed that in addition to a lot of the things Torre pointed out, due to increased resolution, you are more easily able to count the zits on a chicks ass, or the shaving zits on her snatch.

Also it seems a bit more misogynistic.

Yeah that's one reason i enjoy very high res pics. Not sure if anyone else does this but i enjoy viewing these pics on a laptop or tablet due to the bigger screen, rather than phone. While on the laptop i can enjoy a particular area more and zoom in as it projected nice and clear on a big screen without it being blurry.

You get see more haha. So can imagine why this pleases me for certain pics haha. You can do same on phone but doesn't do the same justice.

Here an example with Mia Melano how a full image like this

If i zoom in my fave area the legs means i can enjoy like this. I can enjoy every single detail on it, the bone structure, the veins, spots, freckles and the length of those legs.

There's nothing wrong with doing this. I'm not a link guy. I put up pictures. Always have. I don't know how @DrakeM, @Eric Lindros and @claydavis do it. Kudos to them! They must have many babe picture sites stored in their caches or at least saved as their favorite websites. Now so many websites are doing this with all of their Hi Def 5184 x 3456 pics that are way over 1.5 MB some are even bigger to 3.4 MB -- in order to fit on a board like this they have to be shrunk down. I'm constantly in Microsoft Paint. Doing what I have to do.

I think there are some image hosts that not only help reduce it but can store at it's orginal size but give you different size version's.

I do like the higher the better versions. Not sure on the sites that do offer very ultra high pictures.
