Enjoying kinky porn

Humans have always made, consumed and loved pornography. There have been plenty of arguments about it over the years - who it's bad for, who should be able to access it, what its connotations might be - but ultimately, what's clear is that it's a fundamental fact of the human condition and it isn't going anywhere. The answer isn't to try and stamp it out, particularly not as for many people it's a healthy form of sexual exploration and self-expression; what we need to do now is work together as a community to create new, inclusive, ethical porn that's as hot as hell to boot.

Do I watch too much porn?

It’s perfectly healthy to watch porno's for all kinds of reasons. And everyone has a different limit as to what is okay and what is not. If you’re worried about your consumption though, it’s best you consult a medical professional.

Is watching porn bad for you?

No, it can be consumed as part of a healthy sex life. As long as you realise it’s fake, that sex is not like it is in these movies and you don’t compare yourself and your sex life to what happens in these films then it’s a good thing to do. You can even get some amazing new ideas from porn to keep your sex life kinky.

Kinky sex for kinky people

There are plenty of ways to describe the act of sex, but 'fucking' is our favourite. There's just something hot, erotic and sexy about it; it conjures images of late nights and moody lights and basking in a deliciously decadent afterglow. We're fans of getting to the point without beating around the bush, and 'fuck' encapsulates that perfectly. There's a common myth that the word Fuck originated as an acronym, and stands for 'Fornication Under Consent of the King'. This is almost certainly bullshit. As Melissa Mohr says in her excellent book Holy Shit: A Brief History of Swearing, the word 'fuck' is of Germanic origin, related to Dutch, German and Swedish words for 'to strike' and 'to move back and forth'. There's certainly something Germanic about the inherently direct and straightforward nature of the word, but the act of fucking is absolutely universal.

Got a kink for amateur?

There's no denying that the internet has revolutionised porn. Where once you needed outside assistance if you wanted to get your homemade images and videos out there, now you can do it entirely alone - and there are plenty of people who find that they prefer seeking out and watching amateur porn to buying more polished and pricey professional examples of the genre. Anyone with a smartphone can release their own content, so if it interests you - what are you waiting for? Just remember: the internet remembers and stores things forever, and there's no way of guaranteeing that your friends and family won't come across what you publish there.

Sneak a peek at exhibitionists

For every exhibitionist who loves to be seen in sexual situations, there's a voyeur who likes to do the seeing. While traditionally associated with 'peeping toms' and violations of consent, that's not the case in the kink community - there are plenty of ways to get your voyeur on at sex clubs and fetish parties, all with the enthusiastic consent of everyone involved. If you've never watched anyone else go at it before and you find yourself in one of these situations, it's well worth giving it a try; you might be surprised by how much it can turn you on!
