question for OCC regulars (discussion, not a vid)
 

The older I get, and the more porn I see, the more particular my tastes in porn become. When I was younger I was trilled to see any porn at all. But now, after seeing tons of porn, particularlly on OCC, I've developed very specific and somewhat narrow tastes. I'm wondering if that's happened to any of the other regulars on here?

These days, professional porn does nothing at all for me. Fake girls performing for the camera in uncomfortable positions? No thanks. I get off only on amateur porn. I like to see real girls (even if they aren't super hot) having sex because they are horny (not because they're being paid by a producer). I like to see them in normal positions that real people have sex in (like missionary, cowgirl or doggie). I can live vicariously through that--I can imagine that I'm the guy. I also like it because it's very voyeuristic.

In fact, I don't enjoy amateur porn where the couple is *performing* for the camera... You know, the videos where you can tell the couple has watched a lot of pro porn and are trying to emulate it... the girl is exaggerating her sounds and vamping for the camera... and they get into some crazy uncomfortable position that they would never do if the camera wasn't in the room. That's why I love hidden cams--you know the girl is being 100% real because she has no clue there's a camera on her.

Many of my friends don't understand. They say amateur porn is fuzzy video of average looking girls (at best) having sex in mudane positions. Their discription is, admittedly, accurate, but that's why I like it.

I would have to agree with you. I never even bother to look at the pro stuff. I find that I like the amateur girls that look like girls that I have gone out with in the past. Otherwise I move on. I guess its all part of the process of getting a bit older. We realize that we have the options to make selective choices.

I agree completely. I hate pro porn for the most part. I love watching an actual horny girl getting it good.

I have felt that way for a long time the only thing that i could find before the net alond with a small selection at the porn video store homegrown video series and the beaver hunt contest in huster mag nothing like real porn

To be honest...
 

...I couldn't agree more with you, atomic_monkey.

Of course, the first porn vids I watched way back when I finally was of legal age to do so was mostly pro stuff. No real amteurs to be found in the video stores back then...besides a video series called "The Girls of Foxy Lady" (if I recall that correctly) which had not so glamorous looking girls (at times at least) masturbating for the cam.

I suppose if I watched those today they would just as well do nothing for me. But then...hey, it was sorta normal girls doing things that you wouldn't see a girl do too often then (even though I am pretty sure they did).

Today when I "catch" a pro vid on my hunts I usually watch parts of it and then just delete it. It's just not the same, just as you said.

It may be exciting for some watching a girl locking her ankles behind her head and licking the inner side of her calf while some doped stud seemingly enjoys pounding her senseless...but I rather see an average looking girl in an average looking position getting fucked average style and enjoying it to the fullest without considering (while trying to concentrate on looking aroused) how much more she would get payed if she moaned and screamed just a little louder.


Greets,

- I'm definitely a member of this club. I avoid the pro stuff and most of the "am" for all the reasons stated above. In fact, beyond a simple preference for amateur girls, I prefer them with amateur guys, and even more so with their BF or hubby.

Homegrown Videos have been a favorite of mine since the beginning. The earlier ones were the best. Randy West had a few genuine couples in the first few of his Nasty Newcummers series. Ed Powers had a few as well in the very early Dirty Debs series. I remember one in particular, a gorgeous brunette who said she would use the name Alona Night if she were ever to do porn as a pro. She and her BF did a scene that was so genuine, intimate and HOT.

There is just something different about a vid where there is genuine emotion between the participants.

So yes, through the years (I'm old enough to have seen Deep Throat in it's first theater release - legally) my tastes have become quite specific. I prefer the term "refined".

Anyone else old enough to remember Darby Loyd Raines?

i have to agree with y'all. i find my tastes shifting all the time, definitely away from the pro stuff. i find some of the "non-traditional" stuff is alot better, anal, light bondage, that kind of stuff. 98% of the stuff i post i delete after uploading cause it's really not my thing, i know some my fellow pervs like that stuff so why not share ;)

i agree with the "refined" statement :D

y'up
we be tainted now...

I'm in. Pro stuff is like watching a home improvement show. Alot of pounding and banging but NOT exciting at all. Although I do have a strange fetish. I love to watch an AMATEUR chick reacting to a very huge schlong and trying to take it all. Something about watching a chick get fucked like she's never been fucked before piques my interest. But the topper is just her reaction.

Anyone seen any of the vids where some dude walks around in spandex pants with a huge (yet fake) bulge? The women's reactions are priceless.

Ok, yes. I AM a freak. And I'm okay with that......heh. :D

no pigs become old, but getting older you 'll become a pig :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I endorse these sentiments
 

Like the rest of you, I have a perchance for Vintage and Amateur porn ... anything film-wise pre 1980 is ok, pre 1970 is better but pre 1960 is deffinately superior as the acting appears amateur anyway.

I'm personally not into silicon and in many ways, that again is why amateur will always win it for me

Long may this board contnue

I happen to agree, anything made after 1979 is trash because the cross over to VHS marks the birth of desensitized, sterilized, zombie porn that we see today for the most part. Mainstream porn now-a-days lacks anything that would draw my interest because: (1) fake tits make no logical sense to me (2) porn stars are completely unaffected by the situation; they could get fucked by a small army on a global live feed and could care less...

Home Grown Videos
 

Before the PC became an item in every home I started buying and/or renting only VHS tapes in a small section of the adult store marked amateur. Some of the best videos I ever saw were the Home Grown series and that type of entertainment is the only Adult Entertainment that I find stimulating for at least 30 years.

100% my opinion, plus I like natural looking girls not ultra slim models with artificial mega boobs.

Well, I'm not suprised that many of you prefer amateur to pro. After all, that's why we're on OCC. But when I say my tastes are becoming more narrow, I don't simply mean that I now watch amateur exclusively over pro. What I also mean is that even my tastes in amateur porn is becoming more specific. These days, I enjoy only those scenes where the activity is something I would or do engage in. For instance, in my own personal life, I don't really enjoy doggie style (admittedly, I might not be any good at it). So when I come across a doggie style scene, even if the participants are true amateurs behaving realistically, I usually fastforward. Similarly, I skip the BJ scenes where the guy is standing and the girl is kneeling because it's something I personally would never do (I'm lazy and think it's more comfortable to be laying in a bed). I guess it goes back to me living vicariously through the scenes on my monitor.

I'm not asking if you have the same tastes as me. I'm just asking if you're becoming more particular. For instance, if you are into anal (which I'm not), do you find yourself watching it almost exclusively now? Do you think the exposure to so much (in terms of quanity and variety) on OCC has contributed to the narrowing of your tastes?

On a somewhat related subject: When it comes to looks, I prefer the girls in the videos to be young. I'd much rather watch a chubby 20 year old than a hard-boyd 45 year old. I really like the "girl next door" look. Cute, but no necessarily what people would call hot or sexy. I prefer Reese Whiterspoon over Carman Electra. I hate fake breast. Yuck.

Almost forgot...
 

First of all, thanks to everyone who has replied to my post. I'm glad to see so many people agree with me. I figured A Lurker would because he tends to post the exact types of videos I like.

Second, I wanted to let jjanda 2000 know that I am familair with the wonderful Ed Powers series Dirty Debutuantes and its spin off The Real Naturals. I loved those. In fact, they were my transition from pro porn to amateur. God bless Ed Powers.

- And yes, my tastes in recorded sexual activity have also become more specific. I only watch and save those clips with activity reflecting my personal sexual preferences.

Damn...
 

...have I become that predictable already? ;)

As for narrowing down as far as taste is concerned, I suppose that's true just as well. There are things I like in real life (as opposed to OCC life in a way) which I also tend to look for in the vids. One of my favorite "fetishes" (if that's what you want to call it) is female masturbation (among others). So I tend to look for the respective vids depicting just that. That kind of vid isn't just saved on my hard drive in a folder named "For OCC" and deleted after posting it in here, but it gets moved to another folder afterwards and is eventually burned on CD to keep. Weird, I never really thought of or looked at it that way...
