• Un-porn-like porn recommendation 12/24/2002 12:45 AM
  
  Thanks again for everyone's comments. Sue, with regard to the irony of my thinking the sex in YTMT was more realistic than porn sex, if you've seen it, you will realize that this is not typical Hollywood sex, nor, in fact, is it a Hollywood movie. And I stand by my assertion that the sex looks more real to me that the real sex in porn. With regard to the question of whether it is more voyueristic to demand emotional intimacy from the performances, I fully admit that what I am looking for is more voyeuristic. While I say that I want to see performers who have a real relationship, isn't an absolute real condition--it is just what I assume would have to be the case to get what I would want to see on camera. Lindi explained my reaction to Ho...

  While I definitely recommend Y Tu Mam Tambin, and while it definitely has hotter and more explicit sex scenes than most any Hollywood movie I've seen, don't expect anything resembling a porn film. This is a great, and very funny, coming of age story. With regard to whether I've seen some of the old classics, not really. I fall into the category of having taken one (or two) looks at porn, laughing my ass off, and almost deciding that porn is not for me. This thread was my attempt to find out whether I am mistaken, and just haven't found the right stuff, but it seems that, for the most part, the avaliable porn is not for me--or at least there isn't enough of what I am looking for out there (and readily accessible) that I am willing to go loo...

  Planet Sex and Dumblonde are both right, in a sense. I guess my ideal porn would be videos that couples made "for their eyes only" and subsequently decided to sell--or something that appeared to be that. But I don't believe that that would be impossible to achieve intentionally, especially if the "actors" were a real, loving couple. But if someone has tried to achieve that effect, I certainly don't know where to find it. And it may well be the case, as Dumblonde says, that the couples I really want to see are the ones who would never consider selling their tapes--those are the people who are likely to appear the least self-consious, and the most genuinely affectionate. I suspect that anyone who even imagined that other ...

  Thanks for all of the replies! Looks like it is as I expected--there just isn't all that much out there that fits my interests. The suggestion that seem to come closest are those by Miller Works Inc and Homegrown Video ("these folks"), but, neither of them do DVD, and I'm not that interested in this that I'm going to buy VHS--who knows how long I'll even own a VCR? I thought I'd give a little background as to where I came up with my list of requirements, to see if I can pull in any more recommendations. I actually have one video--well, quicktime file, actually--that meets my criteria, and it probably is the exception that proves the rule. I'm not sure where I downloaded it from, but I doubt this was ever commercially released. ...

  Can anyone recommend some DVD's that, for lack of a better word, are un-porn-like? Let me explain what I am looking for: I'd like sex scenes that seem like shots of real people (amateur, but more so) having sex. In particular, I'd prefer it if they seem to be (or even are) a real couple with some sense of an emotional connection. I want them to be actually enjoying the sex, but I don't want a sense of the scene being directed. In fact, I might even prefer it if it were taken by a camera on a tripod--this would not make for the most interesting shots, true, but it might make for more intimate sex, since it means there was no one else in the room. However, that doesn't mean I really prefer lousy quality video. I'd prefer it if there was no ...
