Yes, it's porn-fest weekend in Seattle again with the screenings of the finalists in the second (and hopefully to remain annual!) amateur porn contest organised by The Stranger. Overall, a definite raise in quality this year, and the gay porn quota was a lot bigger, yay! Over twice as many showings this year as last year, and still the whole lot sold out within days.
( Long porny ramblings that may bore anyone who wasn't there )
Some interesting discussions in a coffee shop afterwards, as the five of us tried to figure out where the hell some of the porn staples come from. Two straight men and three bi-flexible women with a liking for Teh Gay, and not one of us with any interest in prolonged gynaecology shots of either gender, in close-ups of blow jobs and accompanying drool, or in come-shots, especially come-shots on faces. Come up the nose or in the hair? EEEWWWWW!
I have to assume that kind of thing is aimed at men, the main consumers of porn, but I've yet to find a man either gay or straight who says any of the above works for him as erotica. So who are all the men who like it, that it's so ubiquitous in professional porn? It sure as hell puts me off spending my money, much as I like the theory of watching good porn.
