Do you see/watch porno with company? Like friends, siblings, gf or spouse? especially girls? I never do that with anyone as I feel gross. After many years I do that with my gf and I enjoy it. I was concerned she may hate it. She wasnt reacting but I figured out shes liking it

Anormalguy

With my wife, yes, we've been married over 21 years. With company, not very often, and it really depends on how comfortable I am around them. Knowing their thoughts on porn certainly helps with the decision.

I don't want to watch porn with someone unless I'm going to be doing them during/after the movie. Otherwise it is pointless.

It depends on the porn! Certain pornographic movies are just meant to be watched with friends, MST3K style. Others are meant to be watched with a partner. I typically watch porn with my partner and no one else, but there are definitely pornos I've seen with friends, like one that was pirate-themed and then another that was supposed to be like Lord of the Rings, as well as the legendary Taboo II.

I haven't done it in a long time (maybe two decades), but it is often more interesting to watch the reactions of others while watching porn than the porn itself. Given the changes in contemporary porn, I doubt I would be interested in watching it with other people. The difference in watching a porn from the 80s and watching some of the stuff that is made now is two different things. In fact, I think it would be interesting for a group of friends to watch something from around the late 70s to early 80s as opposed to what is produced today.

I've watched Cinemax simulated porn with company before. The conversation revolved around the various "tells" that tipped off that it wasn't actual sex and that no genital contact was involved.

I have some friends that have watched it together as a joke, it was outside and super loud to scare the neighbors. Me personally? Naw, pron is a solo activity.

Me and my dorm buddies used to have Porn & Chicken night. One guy was in charge of the beer, one in charge of chicken wings, another in charge of the porno for the night (muted), and another for the music selection. Each week everyone would switch their responsibility. Honestly the porn was more background than anything else... but a good night none the less.

I watch porn with my boyfriend and some of my girl-friends (one I did have a sexual relationship with).

FuriousAvatar

I once watched a porno with friends, and it was fun. We joked about some of the dialogue, one of my friends got the idea to have sex in the shower, and mostly we just laughed at some of the expressions and fake moans or the unnatural angles. We also had a good laugh when it was discovered that the porno being watched was in fact owned by one of our friend's mother.

I've also watched porn with partners, and it can be a fun way to get in the mood. Generally we would watch some of it then totally forget about it once we really got things started.

Why is it that I am imagining more of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 porn style when it comes to you Halx?

Poppinjay

I watched with a roommate, definitely more of an MST3K experience. We laughed especially hardy at a time traveling porno, when they went to the eighties to bonk some college girls. One said, "you have, like, a totally rad dick".

Sometimes with friends. You have to know my friend Pablo to understand, but nobody thinks anything of it if a bunch of us are there and he decides to put on some porn.

Two people I know from school who allegedly aren't a couple (we all assume they're fuck buddies based on that) watch porn together, and it's hilarious to see them analyzing and critiquing what they're watching.

mixedmedia

I don't 'watch' porn. Porn is a tool. And I have used that tool while in the company of other people, yes.

I've only once watched porn in the company of other males. I thought it was a dumb exercise, since masturbation was not permitted. Everyone just silently stared at the screen and drank.

Watching in the company of my wife, however, is fun.

For anyone who loves to critique porn, you should read the book Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk.

I have tried to watch porn with company but it made me want to laugh. I guess I just wasn't comfortable enough. Also, certain porn I like to watch, I wouldn't want to watch with a guy...it might put ideas in their head I don't want to emulate lol

I would like to one day feel comfortable enough with someone to the extent that I can watch porn with them quite naturally...I'm sure that day will come. I hope it's soon!

Dude, I've watched porno with my wife & MOTHER IN LAW.

Fun times

MSD

on it. I'm a big fan of Chuck, even if his writing is a bit off cllor and unimaginative.
When you finally find the people that you're OK watching anything with, you know you're in the company of true friends.

If you knew my friends, you'd understand. Trust me on this one.

Devoid

Ok, that is way too awesome to just leave it there. I assume there's more to this story.

My girlfriend isn't interested in pornography and frankly doesn't become affected by it. I wouldn't consider viewing it with anyone else, so it's a completely solitary activity for me.



Did this go beyond viewing pornography? Please elaborate.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through it now. I'm not exactly an "industry" insider, but some of my major clients are. People in the "biz" look at me differently when I mention that my clients include Justine Jolie, Sam Sugar and Audacia Ray... and WAY differently when I mention I've done some web dev work for Luke Ford. Chuck is sort of nailing it... and sort of not. He's missing the boat on the whole mundane, boring, ordinary side of the industry. His Cassie Wright character is drawn more from fiction than from reality. Though (I'm told) his description of porn set itself is basically dead on, albeit with a flavoring of Palahniukian "glamorous squalor". Any director/producer who did what Branch Bacardi did would be shunned and blackballed--that's just bad for the industry. Good for fiction, though.

Back on topic: The first porn I ever watched was with my friend Chris, in his basement. It was a FILM. Like, on FILM. Projected from a PROJECTOR. His dad had a bunch of them in his office in the basement there, and we watched one. It was kind of hot, except that there was another 15-year-old boy sitting next to me.

I've watched porn with lurkette, which was very fun. StellaLuna's not real interested, although I have a secret suspicion that she'd come out of her shell a bit if we found her the right stuff.

One night in college we packed our dorm room with mixed-gender friends for a viewing of Sex Trek: The Next Penetration. It was all good fun except for the one borderline Aspurgers kid who sat in the back corner of the room shaking the whole time. Kind of a boner-kill, that guy.
