Oh-yeah I mean.. I thought it was only me being turned on by words in that way - falling crazily in love with sentences all along *happy sigh* I agree with you completely, it gets clinical in a way that words can avoid being. Well, even explicit descriptions of sex I find way much more erotic than staring at a closeup of bodyparts which just don´t succeed describing it the right way no matter what - it´s like being confronted with the whole biology-anatomy-gynecology-part of something that is clearly obviously involving those sides of human nature but doesn´t at all and can´t desribe it anyway - it manages to miss out on both the intimacy AND even the raw sexual side of it. I really enjoy erotic art in the same sense; if it captures the emotions behind or simply hints at subtext - I mean anything can be erotic or everything can be um.. just nothing special or a turn-off even, since it all comes down to the fact that it´s actually just bodies and just sexuality and in the end quite simple - only the description of it can add that extra something which turns the whole event into something extraordinary (like nakedness is not sexual in itself but can be, depending on the circumstance). Oftentimes I find between-the-lines-eroticism much more seducing and powerful than what is there up in my face. Porn in that sense is really just soooo simplified that it doesn´t even come close to its own potential - just a visual projection, while I guess eroticism or "written porn" can offer a more multidimensional experience.. When the brain is involved in the seducement it is actually as if actively taking part in the portrayed experience itself in a way that "typical porn" cannot provide.
Facial expressions are really powerful and erotic as hell *gulp*... well and sounds, naturally *whoah!*.
I don´t believe there´s anything in reality like "mindless fucking", it must contain some kind of feelings whether that is power or love or attraction or guilt or whatever, beneath all human coupling there is a feeling of something, even if it´s small or insignificant. To just cut that out is to miss half the fun and I think that´s why I always considered porn to be such a poor representaion in general. It´s clinical in the same way a biology class of how-to-concieve-a-child is. As erotic as an open-heart surgery. Reduced to a body and nothing more, when there´s so much more damnit...
I can´t watch het or OMG!"lesbian" porn.. it´s just too fucking humiliating, I just get pissed off by how people are portayed and of course in particular; women. I get disgusted, while I can manage to squint a little with the gayporn - guess not having to identify with anyone in it helps. (But it´s still dull - can´t even be compared to written erotica.)
