The cinematography.
I know it sounds like a joke but the more erotic stuff with softer and professional lighting and camera angles/focus/depth of field is so much hotter than everything that looks like it was filmed in a wal-mart. Metart/Vixen/etc. A lot of the "taboo" stuff is really well shot, but the themes are usually a turn off.
I avoid AI porn, especially with hentai. It's so easy to tell when something's been generated versus something that actually had effort put into it.
Also, slapping and hitting. I find it immediately unsettling when the guy out of nowhere slaps the girl across the face just when she gets done sucking his dick.
Speaking of dick-sucking, I don't know what performers are trying to prove when they audibly choke and gag on the guy's cock.
Zero foreplay for the woman, and the "ecstasy level". (Dude here, FWIW).
It's almost always the same low-effort formula: making out > BJ > bouncing/nailing + "OH MAH GAAAAHD!!!" as loud as possible > money shot. Riiiight.
I have 2 main complaints. First i hate that non-professional porn has become a safe space for gambling sites' ads (just scroll through the pornhub homepage and you'll see what i mean). And second roleplay is almost always either incest or cuck if not directly abuse.
If the title says "step-x" I'm not clicking. Fine, it's a kink... so why is it in every fucking video?
"amateur" porn used to be couples filming themselves fucking and uploading it. Sometimes it was done without consent which is bad, but it was authentic. It was people who liked each other, having a good time, and resembled real sex. Now it's the same scene with the same porn positions and porn angles and porn choking and porn noises.
Lesbian porn shot entirely for male consumption is awful. Why are you moaning while sucking a dildo? Grow up.
Long nails make me cringe.
The biggest distinguishing factor in porn for me is whether there's a woman who looks like she's having a good time, like she might actually cum at some point. It's pretty rare. What's doubly frustrating is when she looks like she might be starting to actually get into it, and then we get a shot of something else -most often her pussy or arse - instead of her face.
Choking. I've been watching porn for decades, and choking has only become prevalent in the stuff I watch in the past decade or so. Apparently there's a weird uptick in people doing it, probably because they've seen it in porn.
I'm not going to yuck on the yum of consenting adults, but if the participants don't know what they're doing, they can get hurt.
The plot is weak.
Let's keep the clothes on a little longer eh?
It's a laundry list at this point.
Now, I gotta give the caveat that 95% of the porn I see is communities from fedinsfw.app that pop up when they're new, and then I block them. The "fappening" radically shifted my personal tolerance for porn, and the standards I have for it, so I end up not using it very often. It's become a turn off almost entirely.
But, part of what I dislike is the obviousness of the fakeness, and alongside that the lack of ability to believe any of the performers are actually having fun. There used to be porn where, no matter how badly filmed, or if it had a story or not, the performers at least tried to be believable.
Since it all feels so empty and mindless, it makes all the trappings of incest, "dominance", and even amateur role play just bad. Like, I'm so far past done with all of it, but the shit with someone putting their foot on the face of the person they're fucking? Why? Why is that in so many gifs that get posted? It's awkward and stupid. How anyone can see that dozens of times and not have their immersion break enough to lose arousal, I have no idea.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not kink shaming. Like what you like, that's okay. It's the inundation of bad kink videos that's my pet peeve.
I'm just tired of the spitting and the fake moans and the artificial and poorly done sex talk.
And, again, there's the reality that it's really difficult to tell if everyone on screen actually wants to be there. Some performers are public enough that you can know they're doing it professionally, and that's great. But most of them? It's obvious they don't really want to be there, even the men. Yeah, they're maybe enjoying some of the sensations, but it's still empty. And I just don't enjoy that at all.
It seeped into "amateur" porn as well. It's impossible to hope that anything billed as amateur isn't just a job they're doing, desperate to escape the capitalist hellscape of reality by fucking on camera. There's no passion, no love, no goodness and joy to it, just people fucking like robots to sell.
This is rantish, I know, and i swear I'm not shitting in what people enjoy, what they like to do. It's the porn of it that's just so damn badly done that it becomes disgusting. Or akin to watching footage of an insect mate. And that just isn't enjoyable to me
The emphasis on race in some porn is weird to me. Don't let me kink shame 🙂
The main annoyance I have when browsing for porn is the onlyfans advertising bots. And it's not even so much their existence, as the fact that they never fit into the niche they're tagged for, it's just vanilla white woman nudes
Other than that, I can't say I have too many complaints
Homemade porn used to be so cool but now that everyone does OF it's so difficult to find something that feels genuine and not manufactured
I hate the ones that do baby talk and start screaming in in ecstasy instantly.
BJ sounds and loud screaming with too quiet and often boring dirty talk and performers repeating the words "fuck" and "yeah" over and over
Edit: And I find the step-something titles are embarrassing
Plenty of the girl on girl oral stuff I watch has the girls licking the outer lips, not much fingering, and the girl receiving is acting like it's the most erotic thing ever. But when I watch a guy go down on a girl, the guy is usually way more into it, face fully into that pussy, a finger or two working in, actually trying to give her pleasure. I wouldn't find some girl on girl action where the girl giving is actually into what she's licking instead of just wanting to give us a show.
Gonna be super real, the fiction never did it for me. 'watch it for the plot' is a meme, but thats actually what I need. Longing for the day theres a whole ass season of well written porn with compelling characters
