Has anyone ever watched a porno movie that is actually movie?


Had anyone ever seen a porno movie that actually had a plot and was a movie?

I think perhaps of "Irreversible"or "Nyphomaniac" ... but they were both awful failures.

9 Songs, Shortbus, and Ai no korîda come to mind. All sexually explicit, but I don’t know if you’d classify them as “porno” films.

What Does "Porn" Mean Anyway?
How we struggle to define pornography, but know it when we see it.

As with many things, academics (with the occasional help from members of the judiciary and legislators) have rather confused the issue, because they are unaware of the basic psychology underlying categorization processes. The failure to acknowledge and accept the natural fuzziness of category boundaries has created an environment where different scholars seek to redress the perceived shortcomings of particular definitions of pornography by simply drawing the line somewhere else. As a consequence, we’re now in a place where definitions of pornography range from the clear and unobstructed portrayal of sexual organs in congress to media that suggest a hint of nudity or sexual behavior.

Unfortunately, definitions of pornography matter a great deal. When conducting research, social scientists rely on conceptual definitions to guide the construction of their surveys or the media they select for their experiments. If some researchers believe that pornography is as broad as photos from a lingerie catalog while others believe that it is limited to the graphic videos involving the sexually explicit subordination of women, it becomes impossible to compare findings from study to study. Indeed, different definitions of pornography may be contributing to apparent inconsistencies in results across studies. Take a minute and ask yourself: Is it reasonable to expect that pictures of exposed breasts stimulate the same sort of responses as realistic depictions of rape? Personally, I doubt it.


Bottom line, when someone uses the term pornography, try to figure out from the context what they are saying and how or whether you can discussion the subject intelligently rather than trying to play troll gotcha and show everyone how clueless you can be.
