i would say firstly that porn is fantasy.

it is what your not doing and what you could supposedly be doing.

i don't think porn is an accurate depiction of what sex is like.

and personally think watching to much porn effects the the way you approach sexual relationships.

It's the same as saying that watching casualty on TV is different to being in the A and E department.

On Casualty there is very little blood and poo shown, there is no smell, there is always a nice plot, the baddies always get what's coming to them.

In real A and E, people die horribly, people scream and vomit and blead and the doctors are not good looking and are tired and are not dramatic and don't have time to solve all your problems for you.

In porn the girls and boys are fully made up and shaved and perfect looking, they are never embarrassed, always make lots of noise, always find everything feels amazing, the guys never come too soon, the girls always orgasm. There are no feelings involved, it's all acting, it's all for the camera.

Real sex has no lighting, it has stuck zips on trousers, it's not fake, there is giggling involved, there is smell and touch and it's so much more real and better.

There are no awkward positions so the camera can see your bits and bobs, there is just you and your man and it's so much better.

Good Luck!! xx

Things happen a lot faster in porn. The lady boss asks her two employees to give her a ride home from the company party, and within 5 MINUTES it's 3-way penetration!

Also things don't always work the same way in real sex-- for instance the open-mouthed pointy tongue-flick of porn cunnilingus, can in reality produce an irritating sensation in a lady, as opposed to a less showy but more effective closed-mouth sucking technique. Men with giant penises slamming away often cause discomfort, not joy, in their partners. Porn foreplay (if there is any) jumps ahead much too quickly, which could lead to the misconception that fingering should be used as early foreplay.

The emotional connect is of course completely absent.

The bodies of porn stars are often unusual if not downright unnatural. Their stamina and easy arousal is an artifact of the camera or stimulants like Viagra. Ever heard of "fluffers"?

Geez, the list could go on and on...

kenny agony auntSex is when a couple make love, largely because they love each other. Porn in a nutshell is a man and woman acting in front of the camera carrying out sexual acts for the gratification of its viewers.

carlyuk agony auntsex is about love between two people showing each other how much they mean to each other,porn is acting for entertainment and sexual pleasure there is such a huge difference.

Th the basic actions are the same but with pron the feeling isn't there it is all physical where as sex is more emotional.

hope this helps

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 August 2008):

The people that act in 'straight' porn movies are doing just that - acting. No doubt they enjoy their work but when they've done it a few hundred times with almost as many different people in front of a film crew and a director it must get very meaningless. There's no love involved, no passion, no reality. The dialogue is generally so boring that it wouldn't make any difference whether it was a silent movie or not. Then there's the 'cumshots'. That's almost always depicted as squirting somewhere on the woman's body, usually her face, which I imagine most women would find rather gross. That's not what nature intended is it?

Two people who care deeply for each other and who wish to demonstrate that love do so by making love, which is poles apart from simply having sex or acting in a porn movie.
