nnyI don't like watching porn.
Shocking, eh?
I think everyone in my RL assumes that I enjoy watching porn, because of the amount of time I spend either talking about sex, interpreting people's comments in a wrong and immoral manner, or speculating that people (or, indeed, fictional characters. Or cartoon characters. Or certain celebrities. Male friends. Household appliances) are shagging.
Sex is probably one of those things that's amazingly fun, once you're actually participating. But it looks bloody ridiculous. Like those people who roll cheeses down hills, and chase them. Exhilirating, not something one talks about in public, and potentially damaging.
I don't know. I don't think the human body is a particularly attractive thing. Certain parts of it, very much yes - I like breasts, hands, forearms, necks. But I also like the way people look in clothes, and will find someone far more attractive, nine times out of ten, when they're in a good suit rather than their underwear. Paul Bettany is a man who knows the value of a good suit, and that coupled with his excellent sense of humour is the basis for the majority of my crush on him.
I do not think genitalia is particularly attractive. And most of the sex that porn stars indulge in looks... desensitized, in a way. Painful, almost. Frantic. I think... it's all about the pleasure, the sensation, which is fine enough in its own way, I suppose. But if it's all about the physical sensation, then you might as well buy a vibrator.
I'm a romantic at heart. I've come to terms with this. Sex, for me, is connection. Potentially - always potentially; I've not done the whole sex thing. But it's more than just fingers and tongues and various implements.
*shrugs*
I'd rather read a long story with an inordinate amount of sexual tension followed by a kiss. I'm not interested in PWPs, either... if there's no emotion there it might as well be a manual for putting together some sort of Swedish bookshelf. Insert dowel (a) into slot (b). I can get way more satisfaction out of a well-characterised angel and demon snarking in a bookshop and making each other tea than shagging for the sake of shagging.
Maybe I'm immature. Maybe I'm just a big girl.
Whatever.
Anyway, there's me living up to my disclaimer, for once. Happy to discuss. ;)
Oh, and mum? If you're still reading? I totally warned you.
