Porn is a big part of our lives. Many of us spend some time watching and enjoying it. It is a great form of entertainment, especially when you are feeling turned on. To some people, it is a great indication of the things that we enjoy the most when it comes to sex.
Is this true? Do our porn habits really reflect the things we want in the bedroom, or are our real life fetishes very different to the things we watch? I take a look on the blog.
What porn is
Porn is, essentially, adult entertainment. It tends to feature sex, and traditional form is in a video format. It is also widely available, with tons of free and paid sites out there. They give you the chance to watch pretty much anything your heart desires. Rule 34 of the internet tells us that, if it exists, there is porn of it. So you should be able to find what you are looking for.
You’ll often see people hating on porn online. They’ll say that it gives people ideas about sex, creating unrealistic expectations. That isn’t the case. Most of us know that porn is a fantasy. What we see on the screen isn’t accurate to real life. No, police officers won’t pull you over and offer you a blow job instead of arresting you. And no, the pizza won’t be left to go cold because the delivery driver is hot.
When you watch porn, you’re watching a constructed fantasy. Even amateur porn has been carefully considered and planned. The camera will be positioned for optimal arousal for the viewer, and there will be plenty of action to keep you entertained.
What we love in porn
What interests us in porn tends to change a lot over time. Certain things will start trending. For example, last year we saw Stormy Daniels, Trans, and Tattoos all trending in porn searches. That said, there are some things that will constantly pop up over and over again.
Things like lesbian, hentai, and MILF have always been popular in porn. Lately, step mom has been a huge trend too. A sensual massage is another popular search, as is anal and threesomes.
On the less vanilla side of things, creampie, gangbang, public, and BDSM are some of the popular searches. We want to watch something exotic, something which really turns us on. It could be as part of research for a scene in the future, or it might simply be curiosity making us look.
Do our porn habits match up?
Some people feel that our porn habits correlate to the things that we enjoy the most in the bedroom. If someone loves watching MILF porn, they might love the idea of fucking an older woman. Anyone looking for threesomes may want to have a ménage à trois in the future and be seeking inspiration.
Watching BDSM porn can be incredibly useful for anyone eager to explore. Personally, I love watching The Upper Floor. It is intense, fun, and the ultimate fantasy. But does this mean that we want those fantasies to become a reality?
For some people the answer is a resounding yes. They want the things that they watch to happen to them in real life. They might watch cuckholding porn because they’d love to try it for themselves, but find they are unable to. Someone may choose to watch BDSM because they want to submit, but have yet to find a domme to give themselves over to.
That isn’t always the case
I’ve already mentioned that I enjoy watching The Upper Floor in terms of porn. I also love XConfessions and TRENCHCOATx. My taste in porn is incredibly varied… but does that mean I want to try every single thing that I watch?
Time and time again I’ve said that my tastes have changed throughout the years. However, the things I watch in porn aren’t always what I want to do. For example, I like seeing BDSM videos where someone is totally restrained and blindfolded. Immobile and unable to see their surroundings in videos is a turn on for me. The problem is that I’m claustrophobic. It doesn’t work for me in reality, but I can still enjoy it in porn.
Sometimes, our fantasies are just that – fantasies. We don’t need them to become reality. Our porn habits don’t mean that this is something we want to try. It simply means that watching this turns us on. In some cases, we like the fantasy, but the reality will never fit with our ideas. And that’s okay.
Porn habits versus real life fetishes
What you watch in porn isn’t reflective of the things that you like in the bedroom. Our porn habits can be varied, but often the are simply a fantasy we love to picture ourselves in. The reality for many people just don’t work out.
Are you in agreement with me, or do you think that our porn habits show the things that we want to try in the bedroom? I’d love to hear from you, so leave a comment in the box below!
