    Looks can be important to some, but hollywood attractive is unfortunately an unrealistic goal to find in a partner.

    I actually think a lot of 'attractive' women are ugly, and getting used to the media norm, I used to think I could never be physically attracted to a woman. But after seeing so many 'average' looking ones, I realize I can.

    Here are the three things I think I can bring to the table:

    1. Yeah, the whole of society is pushing us towards the skinny ideal of perfect proportions and long hair and boobs and butt, and WHOA STOP if you don't have that. It's shit and it's why I generally don't like society. OP, if it makes you feel any better, there's a self-love movement that's trying to take back the look on body image and body-love, so look that up - it's a little speck of hope, or at least I think it is. Plus it's better than thinking, "Why am I not that porn star . . ."

    2. That being said, I do look at porn. Mostly I look at it because it's stronger on my sex drive, and besides that, being a bisexual/lesbian/huh? person in a conservative community, I really have no other way of sort of...em..."exploring". Although I will agree, the standards for beauty are crap, and it seems to me that a lot of porn stars can't actually act. Here's another suggestion, though - you can always look for amateur porn vids, they tend to be a little more realistic in terms of body.

    3. I only add this because I noticed people talking about it - joining in on the sex talk, I do agree that sex does seem undervalued, and not just that - it's a societal paradox. If you don't have sex, you're mocked for being a virgin. If you do have sex, you're a wh*re. This is really screwy, but in the end, I just figure that as long as you know your reasons for sex beyond society's expectations and the sex is A) consensual and B) safe, I don't see why we can't just chillax and let people have their fun.

    With that, I'm out. I hope that made sense! *falls over because sleep*

    There are so many things that can be an indication if a person watches too much porn.

    They are doing what they have to do.

    If you try to sell some product do you wrap it on newpaper or colorful bright special paper?

    Also I don't find many Hollywood and Adult Movie stars attractive. Especially some AV stars are out right fugly.

    If people confusing fantasy and reality it is their problem not the guys whose only worry is selling their products.

    Anyone here, when having sexual/romantic fantasies, imagine themselves with Quasimodo? I bet not.

    Hmm, not really. At least not in my case.

    But I think it's different in Europe. We don't really have that same obsession with being "buff and muscular" like they seem to have in the U.S.

    I hardly find any famous guy porn stars attractive anyway. And as far as celebrities if they're actors/musicians/artists of some kind then their looks are the last thing I care about. I care about their talent and the things they're doing with it. for me this would be a nope

    AMEN! Sex is a damn paradox in our society. This drives me insane. Because I'm a virgin, people are all like "LOL! A 20 year old male virgin?" Family members ask people behind my backs if I'm gay - as if being gay locks you into a virgin closet for life or something... If I were to have sex, it'd be "whorish" to have sex (especially gay sex). So in other words, you can't win in this society... Just do what you have to do to make yourself happy.

    I once knew this fella who made online porn videos. It was interesting to listen to him talk about the tricks they use. Most of what you see is rot. It's not happening.

    Not to be a creeper, but the porn I look at is of average looking guys. I don't like glammed up porn with buff beef cakes, they're almost gross to me(too much veins and muscle).

    There is a market out there for people who watch porn that displays regular people. A pretty large market.

    Of course the standard in Hollywood and Porn industry is going to be high, they need to sell their material. People generally feel more comfortable watching attractive people on stage. Not saying that ugly people can't be in movies, they can, and are, but generally people will instantly feel a connection to a good looking person.

    They're using our primordial urges against us, most humans are focused on reproducing(it may be unconsciously) .So if you are going to try and sell humans entertainment that involves other humans(a.k.a Hollywood and Porn) it's obvious you are going to use the most enticing "package".

    It's literally no different than product packaging in retail.

    An item may be a piece of crap, but if it's glammed up it may sell. Just like a movie may be a piece of crap but if it's "attractive" enough it may sell.

    I see it all the time at work, people gravitate to packaging that pops out. There are some pretty blandly packaged products that basically never sell because the alternative looks better. These items may be even better or superior, but people still neglect them.

    We just naturally gravitate to what we find attractive.

    This is just for the general population, obviously people can look beyond that, but it's the truth.

    Cum scenes. Most of it is just food. Large object fetish is a much shorter object like putting the handle of a cricket bat inside the vagina however, sometimes it is actually inside and it does often result with tearing.
