In the digital age, nudity might be a form of immorality. A lot of the early stuff I’ve seen in passing is entirely unappealing. So when is the first ten for you? How far back can you find such an immortal legend, someone that might still demand tribute from some lonely Jack or Jilling archivist a millennia from now, long after the rest of us are forgotten?
Well the guys in straight porn are nearly uniformly unappealing from my childhood through my middle age and still are for some reason I cannot explain (Manuel Ferrara a notable exception, and Lemmy’s Nodachi). A thousand years from now? Nobody current, styles change. Oldest that I think someone might still like? Venus of Willendorf.
Oh now come on! Venus of Willendorf is a niche kink and you know it. While controversial and scientifically debated, I think sexual dimorphism and retention of many neotenous traits in homo sapiens speaks volumes about true long term attractiveness across time. I think physical attractiveness has minimal value outside of infatuation and reproduction as a collective species… and as a quick self serviced hormone tuning. Given enough time, one with an open mind can find attractive features in anyone.
Most strait porn dudes are rather cringe. I think the best are likely those mostly behind the camera, or assumed to be. Little Emo Kitten, or Little Caprice come to mind as a fantastic content creator and photographer respectively. So much of the role of a good cis man is bringing out the best in a partner. Those elements seem difficult to capture on camera in a fulfilling way. I think it is hard to show but might even be impossible. I’ve learned with LLM’s that much of what I appreciate about intercourse is non verbal but female focused exploration.
Do you think it is possible for both partners in cis hetero intercourse to have pure selfless intentions? Does a male focus necessitate an unarousing female to watch or devolve into a BDSM kink every time?
I do think the other focused sex is possible (I get this with my husband because I don’t have to worry, it is balanced, I get back what I give) but likely not as much fun to watch - for me personally the power play stuff M/f does get me the quickest response, doesn’t even have to be explicitly sexual. Just the mismatch in physical attractiveness between the men and women is jarring enough to undo that response. Gay male porn has good looking guys and plenty of rough stuff but I don’t watch enough of any of it to know any names.
That Venus, while she is not my niche, I do think plenty of guys (at least those I know) do still focus so much on T&A that they often don’t care much what is between them somehow, or actively prefer plush built women.
