Will Erotic Material and Porn soon become Mainstream?

[hrugner]

Yes it will become mainstream. In the past decade it's become much more expected that someone would watch some amount of porn. It shouldn't be too long before we see some high budget pornography.

The rejection of the space porno thing really cost porn it's big bump though.

porn up until the 90's actually was high budget, eventually the industry shifted to low budget productions however, back before internet porn was a thing they'd make expensive porn movies with actual plots and various actors involved

just google vintage porn and see for yourself, many of them are over 2 hours long

and the women were way prettier back then, nowadays every ugly hag gets to make porn because why not it almost costs nothing, it's annoying, because nowadays when you have some standards you have to dig through so much garbage to find a good one

woe is me

I take it you didn't live and watch porn in the 80s and 90s. Or, hell, even 10 years ago.

Sure, it's only $1 million, but it's a bit more than your iPhone or webcam. It's sequel had a budget of $8 million.

Or, how about http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080491/? $17.5 million, with Malcom McDowell. There's your high-budget porn film right there, with Mr Clockwork Orange himself.

Most of the modern changes have been "what you do behind closed doors sexually is none of my concern", emphasis on "behind closed doors." I don't see public sexuality shifting much more than that in the near future. We can accept your right to do things and still not want to see them.

Depends on how far the "tolerance" trend takes us.

I'm wondering when the legal age of porn participants becomes an issue.

Certain types of people are already interested in underage porn.

Certain types of people from certain regions consider marriage, and therefore sex, with children ok.

How will one influence the other?

Who knows.

But porn will play a role.

I think the world is better off with a little more porn.

Fair enough, I'm not much of a porn person.

It's my impression that now that the amount of porn that is consumed by the average person is public, that high budget porn will become a mainstream thing.

I may have to check out that Pirates film sometime...

We are slowly but surely moving towards a society in which erotic material is becoming more and more commonplace. Just think about swimsuits for example: What would have been considered unthinkable 30-50 years ago is now widely accepted, like bikinis and g-string panties.
When will we reach a time when everyone is allowed to embrace sexuality not as a taboo but as a mainstream notion - perhaps even practicable in public?
Would you like to live in such a world? I for my part sure as **** would

Where the hell do you live that its not already mainstream?

Porn already went the exact opposite route; it used to be budgeted, and done by actors. There used to be plots in the movies. Then it started to go all gonzo, still filmed with actual cameras though, but by the people themselves, even before the internet was a proper thing. However, when the internet became faster, porn sites started popping up left and right, and at the same time phone cameras and digital cameras, as well as webcams, started to become more popular. The "mainstream" of porn became actually just random people (not paid actors) filming themselves masturbating or having sex. Porn stopped being "porn". Now a huge chunk of it is just regular sex, on camera.

For it to start going back towards the high budget side of things would mean that it would return to something that it was originally. Yeah, with music, people have gone back to vinyl a lot, and artists seem to be releasing their shit on vinyl as of late. But, with porn, I just don't see a return to high budget stuff, with paid actors. Mostly because 99% of the shit they do is so incredibly fake, and people can see right through that. People don't want to see fake sex. They want to see regular people having regular sex and having authentic sexual experiences with authentic orgasms and all that.

But yeah, it's absolutely wrong to say "high budget porn will become a mainstream thing", because that's what it was already. It can return to that, but I doubt it.

I'm considered loose by my friends but I definitely think this would be too far. Also sex isn't as easy to make that fun as most people seem to think, you have to communicate a lot of your desires and boundaries to your lovers. And some things just hurt =<

[Daethz]

Diden't playboy just remove nudity from their mags because online porn has all but destroyed them?

[wowaccounttom]

at some point people will talk about it, then no one will care, then no one will speak about it, and the "secrecy" surrounding pornographic material will start all over again...


as for fashion, not sure how it is for men, or for other women, but knowing how to dress and how much skin to show, imo, can be even sexier than just simply walking around topless.

without becoming a tramp, pushing the boundaries of nakedness has certainly appeal ... or so i think

clothes provide that change of appearance that cant be achieved by walking around naked 24/7....

Exactly what I said. For most of our evolution, humans had sex without caring who was watching.

For most of our evolution "we" were incapable of caring (and of thinking, of moving ourselves even). So that means nothing.

[Charge me Doctor]

Exactly what I said. For most of our evolution, humans had sex without caring who was watching.

It's easy to fall for this, but those, who were having sex without caring who was watching was killed by wild animals, we are predecessors of those, who was caring who was watching them having sex.

I just can't see how porn can become mainstream of something. It's like "will videogames become mainstream?" It confuses me, porn is a genre of movies, and not very entertaining genre, i've yet to hear someone saying "oh, lets go watch this recently released deep throat XXII movie!". Porn by itself have mainstream sub-genres, but to surpass popularity of other movie genres porn will have to try really, really hard.
