lauralhFriday night was again spent watching Skinemax, although I'm beginning to fear that our first indulgence was an aberration. There hasn't been a good once since that first one.
I was trying to explain to Erik what makes "good" softcore porn. Basically it has to turn you on, right? Well, what turns me on is the right amount of plot and sex. Too much plot is the equivalent of too much teasing, and not enough is the equivalent of pure voyeurism. Which is ok sometimes but you have to get to that point. I guess it's kind of like sex itself - some foreplay but not too much before the main event.
So his take was that "they need to do it like wrestling, about three minutes of plot to fifteen of action." And I said "Like a World Porn Federation?" To which he replied "WOW! Yeah!" Of course thinking about it, this is sort of what soap operas do (the real ones, not the male ones). Except backwards - fifteen or more minutes of plot and about three minutes of sex. And real softcore sex too, not even showing tits. The WPF would be hardcore of course...

(And yes, in reality, you can have sex - BUT CAN YOU HAVE SEX WITH TWO STRIPPERS AT ONCE??)
i would be the main star
