Is it normal to find pornography boring?

I used to enjoy watching pornography when I masturbated but in the last couple of years I've grown very bored of it. I've watched lots of different types of stuff but nothing really interests me anymore. I much prefer to just have sex or masturbate and use my imagination. It feels like the rest of the world is loving porn. Is this normal?

      IMHO, much of porn lies about the natural sexual nature of women. But some porn shows the sensitive pretty side of female sexuality. My favorite stuff is filmed by the female director Candida Royalle. It's joyful, it's sexy, it makes your heart feel good, and in my case, it raises my faith in womankind. Btw, her film entitled "Christine's Secret" has won lots of awards. Watch that, and you'll want a romance, not just a fuck.

        Awwnnn, this is the most sensitive I've ever seen you around here... you almost sound like a girl! Hahaha! Seriously, I'll look it up when it's appropriate and get back to you with an opinion!

      • I'm female so I have watched porn for girls type things before and they haven't really done it for me, but I've never heard of that one, I'll have a look, thanks for the recommendation! It's funny that you mention romance because I actually do still sort of enjoy porn if I watch it with my husband. Perhaps I'm just no longer able to seperate sex from emotion the way I could when I was younger.

          I could never separate them, I'm totally demisexual. Also, sapiosexual on top of that. And slightly heteroflexible. That's a tough set of orientations to live by there... Haha!

          [Interesting that spell-check on what I've just written just underlines demisexual, sapiosexual and heteroflexible. Hah!]

          • Maybe I never could either and I was just kidding myself? I'm having a lot of epiphanies today haha...

            Also now I kind of wanna watch a porno involving your many wacky sexualities all in one shag. Perhaps I'll actually be able to masturbate to it

    Yeah, I find most porn pretty bad. I guess I like kinky BDSM stuff, but whenever I watch the acting in that, it's so cringey and unsexy. I'd rather use my imagination or I also found reading stories off literotica to be much more appealing.

    • Yeah, I feel the same! If I watch a porno of something I enjoy in real life it usually just seems a bit cheesy or sometimes even gross/disgusting. On one occasion I saw something that actually made me say "ugh" outloud, and I was so disappointed I just put my pants back on and forgot the whole thing.

        Can I ask what it was that made you say "ugh" out loud and basically killed your boner? (sorry for assuming gender)

        • I am female. But I'm down with the term "killed your boner" for both genders.

          It was a video of a woman tied up having various sexy things done to her, including a dildo in her ass. The camera was zoomed in to just show her crotch area. After a few pumps the dildo came out with a bit of poo on it, and the guy off camera says (in a very cheesy creepy voice) "oh, you are a dirty girl, aren't you".

          I have nothing against it in principal, it was just a huge turn off for me and made me want to get dressed and watch cartoons and pretend it never happened.

    I think it's kinda natural. I honestly read more erotic stories than I watch porn for the most part. I even write my own sometimes. I think they are nice and since I write them they cater to exactly that stuff I am looking for.

    • I've never thought to do that but it's an interesting idea. I may have to brush up on my writing skills though haha

    I'm kind of on the fence with this one. Maybe you just haven't found the sort of porn category that you enjoy. Then again nothing compares to actually being the one feeling those sensations yourself.

    I stick to one niche that always works for me.

    • This raises an interesting point. Given rule 34 and what not, I don't think anyone could honestly say that they've tried every single kind of porn, so perhaps I'm being hasty. It's just weird because I used to enjoy specific kinds a lot, to the point where I wouldn't masturbate without it. My particular favourites were voyeur stuff, orgasm denial, ruined orgasm and good quality male masturbation solos. When I look at it now I just think, meh, it's just random naked people doing stuff. Doesn't get me going anymore.

      I hope I don't end up like Randy from South Park where the only way I can get off to porn is by watching fat chicks shit on dogs or whatever it was.

    • Has it always been that way? And how old are you? Because when I was younger in my teens/twenties I felt that way too

    Porn is poorly done and utterly unrealistic. The plots are also predictable.

  • I love all kinds of porn, especially when a certain "star" is in it! She's awesome!

    It all depends on what type of porn you’re looking at.

    • But this is the problem! I've tried loads of stuff and nothing does it for me anymore.

      Is it too forward of me to ask for suggestions..?

  • I've been getting bored with my porn,and I don't know what to do.

    If I use my imagination, I feel dirty and terrible when I finish.

    • Do you feel dirty because of what you specifically imagined? Or is it just general guilt?

      • It's more because of what I specifically imagined. I don't directly imagine myself, but with porn, it's easier to disassociate what I'm doing with my own body.

          I think most of the things I've done would make people feel dirty and terrible watching it lol.
