Difference between porn for men and porn for women

Porn for men comes from disreputable little shops with fences around their parking lots, and isn't discussed in polite company.

Porn for women spends 62 weeks on the New York Times' bestsellers list, and they're planning to make a Major Motion Picture out of it if they can find enough people who really didn't want to work in Hollywood anymore anyway.

Lol was thinking if you set up a hidden cam is it still porn or just a crime, though i guess it depends on local laws.

As crazy as it may sound, there was a time not too long ago when people would commonly gather in dark theaters for the specific purpose of getting turned on.

We’re not talking seedy adult theaters in Times Square or indie screening houses where “foreign” was code for unselfconscious nudity (although those too used to exist in greater numbers). We’re talking about megaplexes, chain cinemas in midsized townships all across America. As recently as the the 1990s, people steamed in their seats to films like “Ghost” or “Basic Instinct” or “Interview With the Vampire.” Precocious youngsters conspired to crash the theater gates, determined to find out what the buzz was about.

Many of these films feel tame by today’s standards. And yet, in the past decade America has produced fewer erotic mainstream entertainments than we have since perhaps the 1960s. Americans love sex, but our artists currently seem more comfortable riffing on or laughing at it than exploring it, or actually heightening the experience for audiences. We may be living in a golden age of raunchy adult comedies, like the sublime “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” which offer frank insights into sexual relationships — but whenever the characters actually wind up doing it, it’s usually a punchline.

It’s not difficult to imagine why that is. For starters, widespread access to high-speed internet in the late nineties contributed to the meteoric rise of home pornography viewing and a booming adult film industry. Back in the days when X-rated features were relegated to the margins, there were few affordable opportunities for curious thrill-seekers that didn’t involve a face-to-face transaction of some kind. And remember, in the days before Fandango or electronic ticketing kiosks, even buying a regular movie ticket could be a blush-worthy experience. In order to get in, you had to speak the words like “One for ‘Wild Things,’ please,” out loud, knowing that what the elderly or teenaged cashier heard instead was: “I’m here to watch the sexy people doing sexy things. Also, Kevin Bacon’s penis.”

If they are expecting a wedding, unless they are polygamists.

15. What is Porn For Women

Ok, here's the scoop...I work for a "porn for women" site, Sssh.com. I'm a writer there and our members love our written content, but the majority of them are there for the movies. I know, I know, women aren't visual. That's what society tells us and it's a load of crap. Of course we're visual. So, are our movies any different then what you find at an adult tube site? I would have to say yes. One of the things Sssh thrives to achieve is that the couples are really into each other. Pretty simple. So is there porn for women outside of 50 Shades, you bet.
