But! A peer-reviewed Porn Studies Journal is slated to come (sorry again) in 2014, so perhaps this will change soon. While we do often glimpse extreme penetration closeups, with its accompanying, and at times mesmerizing, ball pendulums, little attention is paid to much else.įurther complicating our attempts is that very few scientific studies on porn have been done (except in the realm of addiction and why no one will think of the children). Rarely do we get sweeping slow pans of pectoral physiques, zoomed in facial grimaces, or the come-hither eyes that women make at the camera. Partially because, in mainstream straight porn, which is produced, funded, run, and directed by men, the focus is almost entirely on the porn actresses.
Making a comparable list for men, however, proved to be harder (sorry) than it initially seemed. We recently told you our biggest grievances involving women in mainstream porn. This article originally appeared on Alternet.
