Danny Wylde interviews a female fan

A lovely piece by Danny about a piece of fan mail he received from a female fan who watches porn with her husband, and the conversation that followed – about her, her relationship with her husband and their relationship with porn.  Well worth the read.

Written by Matthew Trost for TED Blog.  Originally published on December 2, 2009. 


“At TED2009, audience member Cindy Gallop gave a 4-minute presentation that became one of the event’s most talked about. Speaking from her personal experience, she argued that hardcore pornography had distorted the way a generation of young men think about sex, and talked about how she was fighting back with the launch of a website to correct the myths being propagated. Later, she expanded her brief presentation into a provocative and thought-provoking TED Book.”


The sexual journey that brought me to MakeLoveNotPorn.tv

Written by Gloria of BZandGloria

My first intro to “porn” would have been my mom’s copy of the The Joy of Sex.  She kept it hidden in her underwear drawer and I would carefully pull it out when she was at work.  The renderings of the shaggy hippies that looked like my friend Lisa’s parents were a bit confusing but they certainly did indeed communicate the “joy” from the title. They smiled and giggled and tumbled about. It sure seemed like a lot of fun, and I couldn’t wait to be a grown-up and get in on that action. (In stark contrast to the terrifying and confusing  Japanese woodcuts in the back… Alex Comfort’s attempts to celebrate diversity may have backfired there with me.)

I grew up before internet, so porno movies or magazines were pretty hard to come by for a young girl with no males in the household.  There was the dirty bookstore whose painted windows and warnings to those under 18 against entry made me imagine there were hordes of drooling R. Crumb characters waiting to attack me inside.  And I would have sooner attempted a bank heist than grab the crinkly cellophane-wrapped Hustler at the Waldenbooks in the mall. In high school, I sent away for an Adam & Eve catalog that sold porn tapes, simulated body parts and flavored lube. Instead of getting some insight into my favorite topic, I got more confusion. And it wasn’t that I was naive, I knew what people used the pocket pussies and dicks molded from actual porn star privates were for. It’s just that everybody looked steely-eyed and grim or shrieking in pain. No hair, no hippies, no fun.So all that was left to guide my wild imagination were dirty parts in nondirty books and foreign films where people were beautiful, sex was consensual (or if it wasn’t that was a very, very bad thing) and it was above all pleasurable. I dreamed of a man grinning lasciviously at me as we romped through turn of the century Paris (I liked period dramas). We wouldn’t be able to keep our hands off each other. We’d be dirty and fleshy and howling in delight.


Then when I turned 18, college, actual sex and the internet happened all at once. Looking back it could have been in the same weekend. Interestingly though, with all this access somehow I fell into a porn gap. Maybe because once I had my first boyfriend I was more eager to take my research into the field. Of course, with boyfriends and male roommates came those elusive pornographic magazines and videos… actually in my house! Their prior illicitness made them sexy for sure, but that wore off pretty quickly. I did find myself wondering, “Is that how you’re supposed to do it?” or  “Is that what I look like?” and “that looks difficult.” It was like finally making enough money to eat at fancy restaurants that don’t have signs or websites and realize that it’s all just duck fat, truffles and foam. And once my curiosity was satisfied, I didn’t venture back for more that often. Not because I thought it was bad or dumb, it just wasn’t my cup of tea… similar to how I feel about Dr. Who. Also, I was pretty sure that all porn sites would give my computer a virus.

So with whole continents of prurient content out there, why does #realworldsex matter so much that I’d film myself having sex and put it on the internet? Not to mention get my husband into it, though frankly there wasn’t much cajoling. Primarily because even though there is SO MUCH porn… there ironically isn’t that much sex. Oh there’s vaginal intercourse, blow jobs, rim jobs, fisting, facials, pegging, peeing and just about everything that anyone has ever dreamed up to do with their genitals. But how to find two (or more) people having naked fun together, smiling, sharing, having non-goal-oriented orgasms…or being okay with not having them? That’s a little more difficult to find and something that I’d devour. Real people are unpredictable; they have unique kinks, funny faces. They have smells and tastes to savor, hair that gets messy and bras that are hard to take off. Each person is a glorious mystery to unlock, rather than the set of buttons to push and levers to pull to induce a squeal as porn world (which is to #realworldsex what Failure to Launch is to #realworldlove) would have you believe.


Think about it, with all the porn at our finger tips, accessible 24-7, we’d still totally peek if a co-worker pointed to window across the way and said she just saw people having sex.

BZ and I have been together for several years and we still like to try out different codes to make each other smile that naughty smile. And we still can find those yet undiscovered or unrealized thrills and yearnings.    We like to think that our videos are our own little Joy of Sex shorts: fun, silly, (briefly) serious, meandering, experimental, collaborative and HOT.

Porn and Post-it notes: my youthful attempt to block out unwanted graphic ads

$

Written by Sarah Jayne of Unbound


College was the first time in which many of us could enjoy life without sharing a computer with our parents.  No longer would we be operating under the constant and all-too-easy access to search histories (ours and let’s be honest, theirs too).

When studying was simply not appealing enough, I did what most curious college girls without a clue do: I Googled “porn.” I clicked the first search result and landed on a page that looked close enough to a popular mainstream video sharing network. To my surprise, the website had a large advertisement for “curious college girls” (just like me!!!). I began to click around the site to try and get the lay of the land.

As I side-googled various three letter terms (BBW? ohhh…that’s what that means), I became increasingly convinced that this was not an industry that had my sustainable visual pleasure in mind.  The video content to the left of the page was novel enough to me at the time I guess (I’m into the good stuff now) but what distracted and robbed me of every chance of actual arousal were the ads to the right. Web cam ads where the women in them spoke and “interacted” with you. (“Holy shit, can they see me?”…again, this was my first rodeo.) And not to mention, the graphic and often disturbing ads along the side that made me feel seedy for giving traffic to a site that had no problem running them in exchange for $$$.

I want to be turned on; I want to enjoy myself; I don’t want to find myself worried about the agency of the girl being billed as a “cum hungry whore” on the side of the screen.  

For the newbie porn peruser without much knowledge of better options, the solution was Post-it notes.  Post-it notes.  I actually put Post-it notes on my laptop screen so these images couldn’t detract from the experience I was seeking out.  Pink, blue, yellow squares of paper cascading down the screen. Reminding me to “send a birthday card to mom on the 11th,” to attend “women’s center meeting @ 3″ and finally “find better porn sites than this…”

That phase is over now. It’s true what they say, we get better with age.  I know these sites still exist and continue to thrive off advertising that’s arguably destructive, definitely lazy and chock full of cliches. But there are better places for my time (and my money because yes, I pay for #realworldsex). MLNP.tv’s approach is fun.  It’s positive.  And, best of all, it allows for a dirty mind, not a dirty conscience.

Talk about it! MLNPstar Dale Cooper on the importance of speaking sex

Written by MLNPstar Dale Cooper. Watch his #realworldsex video here!


Hi there. My name is Dale Cooper, and I was very kindly asked by the lovely Madam Curator, Miss Sarah, to jot down some of my thoughts on sex and cameras. I am a performer in gay pornography by occupation, and recently became a contributor to MakeLoveNotPorn.tv – my first video was released on June 5th. Sarah asked me to share my thoughts on #realworldsex and #pornsex, and I am happy to oblige, as I do both with some regularity and think about them often enough.

I fairly recently got through Denis Diderot’s Les bijoux indiscrets (The Indiscreet Jewels), a fable first published in 1748. In it, the male protagonist, the sultan Mangogul, is given a ring by a genie which compels tales of sexual misadventure to be spoken. The women of Mangogul’s court would not speak through their mouths, however, but, through the power of the magic ring. Their “jewels” are what speak “the part which is most frank in them, and the most knowledgeable about the things you wish to know.”

We are, thankfully, living in an age where some degree of an ability to speak sex is allowable, and more and more permissible for women. Yet the discussion is still remarkably circumscribed. To a great extent, despite all of us being sexed creatures by virtue of our biologies, we rely on the the invention of all sorts of “magic rings” that make speaking about sex possible through innuendo, hushed voices, and mere hints of visible sexual display: Hollywood, advertising, sexual mores relating to propriety or monogamy or marriage, structural homophobia within our institutions, etc. Meanwhile, we still restrict as improbable the larger, open, inclusive discussion that sex deserves.

Sex is incredibly important to a great deal of us. To some of us it is more important than others, and to some it is not important at all. To still some others it does not occur to them that sex might be crucially important, that it might be redolent with meanings and connections to other parts of their lives.

This is the problem with relying upon our society’s version of Diderot’s device to speak about sex. The most potent magic ring we currently have is the pornographic video — none other can claim to so nakedly portray sex as it does. While Mangogul had to turn the setting on his ring to get women to speak their sex, those of us with access to the internet nowadays can compel all manners of strangers to speak their sex by pressing play on a video we find on a porn website. Cindy Gallop has spoken of how online porn has became the de facto sex education for young people in a country that absolutely refuses to grow a pair and speak sex to its youth. If you let one type of discussion about sex, in this case, conventional and readily accessible online porn, completely take over the public discourse on what sex is, you have a problem. We live in an age with a very big problem when it comes to talking about sex. We invest it with all of the illicitness that encourages us to keep our sexual lives and proclivities secret from one another, and only safely whip them out when we’re at home in front of our screens.

Seeing as I introduced myself as performer for conventional gay male pornography studios, you may be imagining me as quite the hypocrite right now. Let me at least say in my defense, and in defense of my industry that a) porn is awfully important (economically, socially, libidinally), b) we thankfully live in a society that allows for the free expression of its production, and c) there is nothing at all wrong with some people finding conventional porn and its tropes hot. I think that’s great. It is certainly not my job (and should be no one else’s for that matter) to dictate to others what is hot and what is not.

The problem is not that porn exists. The problem is that we have let the word “porn” come to mean just one thing: the kind of aggressive, affected erotic display that predominates the market currently. Again: that can be hot! If you like that, no problem! But there is so much more, so much variety, so many ways of being and so many ways of interacting with others that are not represented within them.

To some those displays can also be very not hot. They can be misogynist. They can be overly focused on the penetrative. They can be a bit stale. The problem is that we, collectively, have so readily given over any desire to construct alternative dialogues, alternative erotic displays, that we have let porn imagine itself to be monolithic, to be the only type of sex that people could want. Which it is definitely not.

That is the importance, to me, of a project such as MakeLoveNotPorn.tv. It can act as an antidote to the folly of Mangogul’s ring, which construed sexual pleasure as something private and unknowable unless one was a voyeur. The are multiple paths to the the erotic, and there is no more destabilizing a force on the hegemony of contemporary porn representations than to democratize this medium. MAKE YOUR OWN #REALWORLDSEX VIDEO. Make your own porn. Call it whatever you want. Call it erotica. Call it a smut film. Call it a home movie. Call it making love. Call it fucking in an alley with a video camera in your hand. MLNP.tv offers several different, individuated pathways to #realworldsex videos for you to choose from. I would certainly encourage you to submit some of your own and add even more. Throw in as many different voices into this discussion as possible. Speak your sex. Or if that’s not your thing (which is fine), encourage us folk who do if you like what we do.


There you have it, folks! Speak your sex by sharing #realworldsex on MLNP.tv.

“The necessary constant is that sex, like anything, requires a certain degree of learning and experimentation, and often begins with awkward strides. The challenge of youth is that there will always be more “stuff” to dig through, learn about, and digest than there was for the prior generation. I’d say it’s the responsibility of older generations to arm the youth with the tools to cope. Namely, education and context.

Are we arming the youth? Perhaps not explicitly. We’re not explicitly marketing porn to them either. But kids are interested in sex and they’re smart. They’re going to find porn because it’s there. My hope is that they’ll find the context too.”

“I should have been every Venture Capitalist’s wet dream,” Cindy Gallop said to me as I sat in her trendy Chelsea apartment, discussing her start-up, “Make Love Not Porn.” She’s said the same thing to USA Today, to Venture Village, and to other outlets when her platform for “real world sex” videos came out. “Every VC’s wet dream”—It’s an incredibly catchy phrase, one full of thrill, of possibility.

But this is reality: Neither MLNP—which crowdsources videos of ordinary people having genuine, “real-world” sex—nor other sex-oriented tech start-ups are VC’s wet dreams. They’re not the wet dreams of Android, of iOS, of Google Glass, or of banks. For months, MLNP was unable to set up accounts at PayPal, at Amazon, even at Chase Bank, which made it impossible at first to provide the $5 “#realworldsex” rentals to their audience that is their revenue model. Another sex-oriented tech company, Mikandi, released the app Tits N Glass about three weeks ago, especially designed for Google Glass.”

“With many schools still using sex-ed programs that preach abstinence or just talk about birth control, young people often turn to porn to learn what sex actually is. It was true when I was a kid, and it’s true now. So when young Timmy gets his first dose of real sex-ed from brazzers.com, he sees unrealistically attractive porn stars jumping on each other at the drop of a hat to engage in a furious, robotic hump-fest (with no eye contact). And when the guy is ready to blow his load, the girl eagerly scrambles to her knees and opens her mouth expectantly. Because all girls are down for that, right? Of course, we all like to think that we move beyond these juvenile perceptions of sex and gender relations as we get older, and many of us do, but to say that the long-term effects of this don’t impact society is incrediably naïve.

As much as we indulge in it, it’s pretty hard to get around the fact that most porn negatively objectifies both women and men and offers a pretty skewed vision of what sex actually is. While it’s pretty much become an accepted fact, something we just have to live with, Cindy Gallop is having none of that bullshit. The famed advertising consultant made waves with a 2009 TEDtalk that she used to launch her website, makelovenotporn.com. The conference, which is embedded below, incites some laughter from the audience (as people will do when approached with something that’s too ‘taboo’ to talk about openly), but actually went on to be one of the event’s most talked about presentations.”

“Not every kid is lucky enough to have a relaxed and groovy parent that will talk through sexual issues in a healthy and helpful way. My own mother’s single nugget of sexual advice to me was “don’t let boys near you”. Kids are curious and if they’re not getting information at home, they’ll get it from any outside information source. For this generation, that means their peers and the web. And no amount of parental control or censorship will prevent that. Remember –– kids are little truffle pigs when it comes to sniffing out illicit stuff.

As Cindy Gallop, founder of Makelovenotporn.com – a site that could easily be affected by this recent move despite its disruptive and progressive stance – told us: “The problem is when you force issues like this into the shadows. If it’s underground, you make it easier for bad things to happen, harder for good. We want to enable open, healthy discussion around sex, to change the way that couples, parents and children consider real-world sex as opposed to porn. And unless we address the porn industry just like any other, and make better products this won’t change.”

Hump Day Special: 16 #realworldsex videos that get Cindy going

$

MadamCurator has shared with you the #realworldsex videos that make her all tingly. This week I want to share with you a selection that I’m particularly fond of.

Watch her face

BZ&Gloria’s deliciously spontaneous on-the-couch #realworldsex was our very first submission. I was fascinated the first time I watched it to find that no matter how hot the action (and it’s hot) I could not stop looking at Gloria’s face. She was aroused, she was loving it, she looked adorable how much she was enjoying herself, and I was utterly riveted just watching her face. You don’t see faces like that in porn.

A sense of place

We love our Italian MLNPstars, MagicLovers.  I particularly enjoyed their #realworldsex weekend in Rome, watching them get turned on in the train, seeing their hotel and what they got up to in their room. We ask you to contextualize your #realworldsex, because context is HOT. A member wrote to us to tell us how fascinating she found the background glimpses of our MLNPstars’ homes, bedrooms, #realworldlives, and I wholeheartedly agree.

It’s not about length

I also loved the setting in Mr & Mrs Lau’s ferry ride from the UK to the Netherlands, in the captain’s cabin. We don’t stipulate timelength for submissions, because in #realworldsex time spent is no measurement of anything. Mr & Mrs Lau’s #realworldsex video is only 3 minutes, but what a 3 minutes!

Pegging can save the world

We don’t classify our #realworldsex videos by ‘Most Popular/Viewed’. That’s because there’s no comparison, and we don’t believe in making one. Different people respond to different things (a poll of the MLNP.tv team ourselves demonstrates that). But I will say that we’ve been pleased to see a lot of interest in our pegging videos, from the fabulous Violet & Rye, and the equally fabulous Nebbish & Goddess.  Pleased for all the reasons Charlie Glickman highlights in this must-read post ‘How Pegging Can Help Save The World’

Infinite variety

I love seeing more videos from our MLNPstars that mean we get to know them better and see how their #realworldsex plays out over time in all its multi-faceted glory.The very first video Ionsquares submitted, of #realworldsex in a truck because they had nowhere else to go, had me wanting more, and their collection of videos demonstrate the full spectrum of all the things a couple can enjoy – quickies, slowies, roleplay – when you love and trust each other.

Downtown Abbey *

When ionsquares submitted a video described as ‘Here is a deliciously up-close video of me licking my lover’s pussy. I’ve always considered myself a gentleman. In my house, my lady comes first’, while I applauded the sentiment wholeheartedly, I am not a fan of extreme gynaecological close-ups (I prefer to stay away from anything overly resembling open-heart surgery, a line I can’t take credit for as it comes from Candida Royalle). Well – MIND. CHANGED. As SexNerdSandra said about going down on a woman, ‘If your eyebrows aren’t wet you’re not doing it right.’

Yup.

* Oonie came up with this one

Giving me ideas

One of our male members (heh) told us, ‘Watching porn makes me want to jerk off. Watching your videos makes me want to have sex.’ MLNP.tv plays a different role to porn. We’re not just masturbatory material; like every other social media platform, we’re about connecting people, through better communication around sex, better sexual relationships, making for better relationships, period. When I watch BiLikesScifi enjoying seven minutes in heaven, my immediate thought is, ‘I need to get me some of that!’ (Good news for every young gentleman crossing my path immediately following….:))

Smile

Many of you have written to us saying things like, ‘I watch your videos with a big smile on my face’, and, ‘Your videos are joyful in a way that porn isn’t’. #realworldsex is fun, and funny. We adore pornstar Lily Cade and her #realworldsex with her #realworldgirlfriends; here Lily and fellow pornstar Aaliyah Love share a lot of fun, a lot of laughter, a lot of hotness, a LOT of orgasms and a running commentary on how all of this differs from the way they’re expected to perform in front of the camera. As Aaliyah says, ‘I wish all porn could be like this.’

Mo’ men

As a straight woman, I enjoy watching gay porn – because it shows me more of what I’m into, ie men. I really enjoy gay #realworldsex – we want more of it but for some reason, while our gay male fans have promised submissions, they are so far spectacularly failing to deliver. Guys – REPRESENT!  In the meantime, I am in love with Dale Cooper and Colby Keller. If either batted for my team, I would so do them. As it is, I’m extremely happy watching their wonderful, loving #realworldsex.

Videoing is transformative

When Havingfun submitted their sizzlingly hot video of little-black-dress-plus-sex-toys #realworldsex, the female half wrote to tell us, ‘Making the film was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and a fabulously bonding experience with my partner.’  Even we had not realized how much the actual process of videoing your #realworldsex can open up communication, make the sex even hotter, and strengthen relationships (something we’ve heard from more of you since). We love that!

Pornstars have #realworldsex too

As with Lily and her friends, and Dale and Colby, MLNP.tv is where pornstars post their #realworldsex – the sex they have off-camera, in their #realworldrelationships, which is completely different from the sex they have on-camera. Our very first pornstar MakeLoveNotPornstars were my friends Danny Wylde and Lily LaBeau; their first intro video is a must-watch (aren’t they just adorable?) as is their first #realworldsex video.

I wish I could do that

We believe #realworldsex is more innovative, more amazing, more creative, more surprising, more hot, more arousing and more wonderful than porn can ever be. This incredible video by xxxotter is a demonstration of that. This may or may not turn you on, but I promise you you will be as riveted as I was by his extraordinary ability to get hard and come purely by caressing his nipples. <le sigh> I wish I had the female capability to do that…..

I could go on and on – I want to see more of George&Babs; I love that EllaBella relaxed into feeling able to show her face and come loud and proud with us; I’m thrilled two_sybarite have been married twenty-six years and are sharing their forays into BDSM with us (we would like to help ‘de-kinkify’ the kind of sex a lot more people could be enjoying if society hadn’t impressed on so many of us that we mustn’t go there).  But this post is already rather long, so I’ll have to do Part Two in due course.

I want to thank all of you for supporting us – our members and MLNPstars alike. Please, pick up a camera or cameraphone and share your #realworldsex with us. It is a privilege and a joy to be allowed to share in your intimate moments. When I view your videos, I am overwhelmed by your openness, your honesty, your love, your beauty – everyone is beautiful when they are having #realworldsex, no exceptions – your laughter, your generosity, your humanness.

Three years ago, Ridley Scott produced the film ‘Life In A Day, crowdsourced from 80,000 clips submitted to YouTube showing life around the world on a single day, July 24 2010.

It’s a moving and inspiring movie that I highly recommend. Maybe one day, if all goes well, we’ll all be able to put together the MLNP.tv version –  ‘Life In A Night’. And everyone will be able to see the varied, fascinating, equally moving and inspiring, sheer wonderfulness that is how the world has #realworldsex.

“Para hacer algo al respecto (por ella misma y por todas las mujeres heterosexuales), Cindy se convirtió en una empresaria web, y creó el sitio MakeLoveNotPorn.tv [haz el amor no el porno]. El tema de la página es enseñarle a las nuevas generaciones que “lo que ven en la pornografía dura no es la manera en que se tiene relaciones”, añadió Gallop.”

Carol Hunt: We need to talk about ‘bad sex’ to our children / Independent

“CINDY Gallop, British entrepreneur and founder of web (and TED Talk) sensation ‘Make Love Not Porn’, says we have to accept that children as young as eight are viewing pornography online.

One report revealed an ordinary young girl whose first experience of what “sex consisted of” was watching a gang rape online in a friend’s house. She was eight years old. As a mother of a nine-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, I, of course, don’t want to accept that this is true.

My babies looking at pornography? You’ve got to be joking! Why on earth would children be interested in looking at sex? And anyway, don’t I check their mobile devices and internet access? I have rules about smart phones and tablets and internet history. I have checks and blocks and do all the stuff that a responsible parent in the age of Google is supposed to do.

But, as far as my kids are concerned I’m still a technological Luddite. They were born to this stuff, whereas I – and so many parents like me – are only catching up. I have no idea what they are looking at in their friends’ homes. I don’t know what they see on a mate’s smart phone as they walk home from school. But I know that, in the very dangerous world of internet porn, of online child abuse, I need to arm them with every weapon I can.”

‘Porn Sex vs Real Sex’ / Kornhaber Brown

Written by Eric Brown, co-founder of Kornhaber Brown


Every once in a while at Kornhaber Brown, we make something for ourselves. We have a project called “KB Creative Lab”, where we assign a small budget to make creative or experimental videos.

Most recently, we decided to make a video to address the giant elephant in the internet room: porn.

Porn is totally over the top, and kinda weird. Even though it’s usually experienced alone, we feel like it definitely has an impact on our views of each other, our relationships, and our lovers. So we thought it would be fun to make a ridiculous video that pointed out how divorced porn is from reality. And then while walking to lunch we hit on the idea of conveying it using only food, mainly because we have a very juvenile imagination.

If we hadn’t been fans of Cindy’s work with Make Love Not Porn, we never would have realized how important the idea was, and wouldn’t have pursued it.

MLNP has proven that people care about having frank conversations about what makes good, positive sex, and her project has been a key part of destigmatizing that dialogue.

What I love about MLNP is that we are finally recognizing that, yes, almost all of us are consumers of pornography, almost all of us are affected by it, and we should talk about what the hell that means. Who knows? Maybe it’ll make us better in bed. We hope you enjoy our small contribution to the world of good sex.

We received this comment from the wonderful MLNPstar and retired #realworldpornstar Kara Price, and we loved it so much we decided to share it with you here!


“I was just telling my friend how much I like you guys. You pay out at by far the best percentage I’ve ever seen, you’re really nice, you’re easy to talk to, and you encourage us to have fun while we shoot. I’ve really never had such a positive or empowering experience doing adult work before. Make Love Not Porn might not be porn, but it’s what porn should be.”


We absolutely love that she found the experience of sharing her #realworldsex on MLNP.tv to be positive, fun and empowering!

Check out the free peek for Kara’s debut #realworldsex video, shot with the help of fellow #realworldpornstar and MLNPstar Lily Cade:


Stay tuned for a brand new #realworldsex video featuring #realworldpornstars and #realworldfriends Kara and Lily coming soon!

Porn Star Nina Hartley: Pornography Is ‘Not Meant To Be A Rulebook’ / Huffington Post

Originally written for Huffington PostPublished on August 5th, 2013. 


Huffpo

It seems like common sense that sex in porn doesn’t mirror what men and women do in their own, non-commercialized bedrooms. But this point gets really driven home in “Porn Sex vs Real Sex: The Differences Explained With Food,” a video [inspired by MLNP.com - ed] which shatters the illusion the porn is anything like real sex by going back to basics: fruit metaphors.

Inspired by the video, HuffPost Live spoke to women working in the porn industry, and asked them to share what they believe the difference between porn sex and real sex is.

Jincey Lumpkin, Esq., Chief Sexy Officer of Juicy Pink Box, noted that porn involves, “posturing for the camera,” “flattering” angles and “cutting together of the scenes” — all of which, if reenacted by normal people, can “take away sometimes from the pleasure and enjoyment aspect” of their sexual experiences.

Nina Hartley, an adult film actress, agreed, emphasizing the performative aspect of porn. She told HuffPost Live host Caitlyn Becker:

Pornography is a paid, professional performance by actors. It is a fantasy, it is not meant to be a rulebook and guidebook or a how to as a general rule. And it goes to show how poor our sex education is in this country that people are reduced to looking at an entertainment medium for information about the body.

This week’s Hump Day edition is dedicated to partners-in-adorableness, Brizzleee. MLNPstars since early 2013, Brittany and Joe took to the MLNP.tv philosophy like flies to honey and our community couldn’t be happier with their consistently tender and tantalizing #realworldsex videos.

When I think of Brizzleee and their growing #realworldsex opus, one of the things that immediately comes to mind is how much they relish the process of making videos together. In the midst of their busy lives, a quiet evening or afternoon set aside for making love is a real treat they both look forward to and never take for granted.

In addition to enjoying a brand new #realworldsex video from this darling duo, I hope you’ll be able to find a little extra quiet time to savour all of this couple’s sensual, romantic and ravenous offerings!

Celebrate #realworldpassion with Brizzleee:
