I read this article...somewhere...a little while back.

Buried in all these words (yes, it is quite interesting, but you gotta admit it's a long piece) is a theoretical explanation for why women would report one level of arousal when their vaginas tell a different story:

...a body of evidence involving rape has influenced her construction of separate systems. She has confronted clinical research reporting not only genital arousal but also the occasional occurrence of orgasm during sexual assault. And she has recalled her own experience as a therapist with victims who recounted these physical responses. She is familiar, as well, with the preliminary results of a laboratory study showing surges of vaginal blood flow as subjects listen to descriptions of rape scenes...
Chivers, like a handful of other sexologists, has arrived at an evolutionary hypothesis that stresses the difference between reflexive sexual readiness and desire. Genital lubrication...is necessary “to reduce discomfort, and the possibility of injury, during vaginal penetration…Ancestral women who did not show an automatic vaginal response to sexual cues may have been more likely to experience injuries during unwanted vaginal penetration that resulted in illness, infertility or even death, and thus would be less likely to have passed on this trait to their offspring”.

No surprises there.  The men in hetero porn are usually ugly as fuck.  I can't get aroused seeing some complete pig plow into a fake-titted blond, as hard and fast as he can, who is clearly acting.  In gay porn the men are generally very attractive and appear to be actually enjoying the sex, which is usually the case with the fake lesbian porn as well.  Heck, I bet the bonobos seem like they are enjoying the sex more than the hetero porn.  Hetero porn, for the most part, is directed to appeal to men, which sucks all of the reality right out of it.

Pointing a camera at ANYTHING sucks the reality right out of it, unless the subjects don't know they're being filmed.

I note that you characterize gay porn as gay porn, and lesbian porn as fake lesbian porn.  Please leave me some illusions.

I'm unsure why you feel that Bonobo's only "seem" to enjoy sex.  They certainly fooled me, which is why I hate Chimpanzees who "seem" to enjoy violence.  It's a cultural thing, not a racial thing.

I say "seem to enjoy sex" because I'm not a bonobo, so I can't say for sure...and I'm not a fan of chimps either...those fuckers are killers (and people of all colors seem to enjoy killing each other, so I'd guess one race doesn't have a monopoly on the fun).

So all those women who "seemed to enjoy sex" are suspect?  Way to shrink my dick.

The only thing that gets a porn star off is a check.
