Erotica On The Net

There is, you might say, far too much of it – and a lot of it is not very erotic at all. Here, Anne Sexton offers her top ten porn or erotic sites.

Anne Sexton, 24 Aug 2009

An ex-boyfriend introduced me to pornography. If he was hoping for a sexy end to the evening – as I’m sure he was – he was severely disappointed. The movie, if you could call it that, was a low-budget shag and safari couple-swapping scenario. The terrible acting, flat nasal accents, bad boob jobs and the fact that the cast looked like the kind of rightwing Afrikaners who hunted black people in their spare time meant I was not at all turned-on. After twenty minutes of me critiquing, complaining and laughing he’d had enough and told me to “shut up and watch the damn thing” and I, offended, told him to go to hell and take his Bushveld bonkathon with him.

That’s the thing about porn – so much of it is bad, really bad. After this disappointing first go, I pretty much ignored porn, at least of the moving pictures variety, for years. Which is odd, since I was a bit of a pornographer myself. I was very taken with Bob Carlos Clarke, an Irish-born photographer, who specialised in erotic subjects, and one of my hobbies was persuading my friends to get their kit off and pose for my camera.

I’ve always been attracted to the erotic, but watching an adult film with super-limber fantasy women who’ve been constructed under the surgeon’s knife rarely moves me; nor do scenarios where, as a woman, I can see the actress is doing just that – acting.

After years of trawling through the nether regions of the net, I’ve seen some great porn and a lot of dismal stuff as well. Here are my favourites:

Beautiful Agony

I love, love, love this site! Beautiful Agony is a collection of real people having orgasms, and one of the sexiest, smartest, most sex-positive adult sites ever. The contributions are all by amateurs and are pretty equally divided between men and women. With Beautiful Agony you don’t get to see very much as the videos are from the neck up, but it’s somehow that makes it even more erotic. It’s the combination of a real orgasm and your imagination that makes it work. In addition, some contributors have included erotic confessions, talking about their sexual history or their feelings about sex and masturbation. Beautiful Agony uploads at least five new videos a week. Subscription is $14.95 per month. See beautifulagony.com.
