Hey, check out these two items that showed up one after another in my Tumblr feed. Maybe I’m just being a cranky Daddy about porn again, but one of these faces should not be like the other one. 

The woman in the bottom photo looks disgusted and angry because someone won’t leave her the fuck alone.  And rightly so!

The one in the top photo looks even angrier and more disgusted while… having a fairly routine threeway.  

Not exactly sure why that angry/disgusted “omg there’s a penis in me” look is so common on women in porn, but I think it’s got a lot to do with the fact that a heck of a lot of industrial pornographers are every bit as prissy, prudish, immature, and socially conservative as their “moral majority” critics.

Although to be fair, repeated porn-industry statistics show the biggest consumers of industrial porn are from highly-conservative parts of the country where, who knows, maybe the customers expect their partners to be angry and disgusted by sex!  I dunno.

You see the same thing in “XXXtreme BDSM” porn from Kink.com and its asshat wannabes where the women “masochists” (and it’s mostly women) look miserable, unhappy, uncomfortable, and afraid.  When really most of the Masochists I’ve met are generally happy, horny, and downright enthusiastic.

But at least they rarely look as infuriated as they do in mainstream-vanilla porn.

Rule #5: don’t do it like they do it in porn.  If you really don’t like something use a safeword.  And if you don’t have one there’s always the universal safeword: “what the fuck, asshole?!?!”
