Are All The Hot Porn Stars Gone Now?

Why is it that I'm seeing more and more amateur porn? Everywhere I look it's "Local girls doing naughty things" or me seeing some picture of some average chick uploaded on Craigslist or wherever. Are all the hot porn stars gone now?

Jim, San Antonio, TX

I don't really think "Local girls doing naughty things" is actually amateur porn, but you do bring up a good point. Amateur porn has actually taken off astronomically, which I think is exciting for pornography. Millions and millions of people are uploading pictures and videos onto various websites for even more millions of people to enjoy. The perceived distance between watcher and those being watched is very small; these people could be the people in front of you in line at the grocery store, the people who bring your mail, or the people literally next door. Their sexuality seems very attainable and relatable.

For those who haven't seen these non-commercial examples of erotica, you might expect:

  • People whose bodies don't meet the cultural impossibility of perfection. Many people are very everyday in appearance, attitude, and even behavior.
  • Mostly familiar settings. It's not taking place on a purple, velvet couch poolside overlooking Los Angeles. It's taking place on a couch just like yours with clutter here and there, just like you likely have in your home.
  • Real conversation. Sex isn't always perfect and smooth; sometimes things happen that are funny, awkward, or need attended to. Since most amateur pornography is raw and unedited, you are much more likely to hear someone laugh and say, "You know, this would work a lot better if you stopped leaning on my hair!"
  • People with a variety of ages. This is extremely important because we tend to forget how people are sexual well past the years where their breasts are firm and their abs are tight. We seem to sweep people under the rug once they're past the point where society wants to envision them doing sexual things. That's not the case here.
  • Comfort. There are a lot of porn stars that are very comfortable in front of the camera, whether it be taking solo shots or having group sex. However, there are a lot of porn stars that are not that way. With amateur porn, the people in front of the camera are usually quite familiar with the people behind the camera. They know they're turning on someone close to them, so they tend to be more relaxed and show it by having a great time.
  • More realistic chemistry. Most of the couples are couples in real life, not just two actors who meet an hour before they're going to be sexual. If you're sick of the same old thing, then you might want to check out the difference between some hung stud jackhammering away at some woman while the camera zooms in on their genitals and a couple who has learned to explore each other's bodies from hair to heels and truly knows how to turn one another on.
  • If that doesn't sound particularly exciting to you - real people doing real things - then perhaps you can get behind just the concept of what the popularity of amateur porn means.

    It means all the pornography opponents, who hate how women are coerced into a life where they're taking their clothes off and/or having sex, need to start realizing that porn isn't about that. These women (and men) aren't coerced at all; they're being sexual because they enjoy being sexual. They appear to be excited because they are excited.

    It means all the people who think that sex is only for the perfect are wrong. Realism can easily overcome perfection. A lot of people would choose the average woman having a real orgasm over a flat, forced, "Oh. Yeah. Baby." A lot of people would rather see a man proud of his average-sized penis and using it skillfully than someone using their large one as a weapon.

    It means all those that think that being in porn leads to dangerous things are also wrong. It doesn't lead to hardcore drug use, STI rates going through the roof, teen pregnancy rates exploding, or anything of the sort. The people posting pictures and videos are your neighbors and possibly you! If it was dangerous, millions and millions of people participating in this would mean that you're constantly living in a progressive state of danger and sex-poisoned neighborhoods. That's clearly not the case. People like to do what they like to do and for the extremely large majority of cases, it's harmless.

    And in this case, it's also transforming and revolutionizing sex.
