Porn!

I am not the only girl I know who has broken a computer while watching porn.

Speaking of porn, you should head over to bitchphd and check out this fabulous post by M. Leblanc. I've had the exact same problems with porn, which is why I read a lot of trashy amateur erotica instead of watching movies now. I don't intellectually like the standard porn girl model, but I am not turned on by watching different and more realistic porn stuff.

I think I know part of why that is though. I think seeing something that should be more common (larger, imperfect bodies, hair, etc) has become so unusual in porn as to be fetishized and distracting if that is not your fetish. While I am trying to put myself into the girl's place and enjoy the show, instead my mind is wandering with thoughts of "Wow, pubic hair!"

What is also interesting to me is how different cultures have different kinks. I have a collection of porn mags from around the world, and it says a lot about what a culture thinks is taboo. Latin America, home of machismo, is full of cunnilingus, for example.
