Porn: It's like sex whiskey.

I've got this theory. Porn is a sort of distilled version of sex. A more concentrated form, to help us get where we want to go more efficiently. You don't want to snuggle up and spend a nice relaxing evening with porn. You don't want to lay outside and watch the stars and make love to porn all night long. You want to do your business and go to sleep.
Here's how I see it. Your average, everyday, mundane sex can be considered as beer. All personal tastes aside, just assume you like beer. Having beer a couple times a week is great. You'd REALLY love to have beer every night, but You're just fine with having a beer when you can get it. There's nothing wrong with beer. It's satisfying and you enjoy it, and you don't wish you had something else. You like beer.
Once in a while, you have sex that is unusual or exotic. Perhaps you have roleplay or bondage, or a threesome, or anything else that deeply fascinates you but that you don't normally get. This kind of sex is like wine. You enjoy wine. You linger over the memory of the amazing wine you've had, But when you're having a beer - you don't spend the whole time thinking "Man, I wish this was some wine." Beer is great. You really enjoy some wine now and then, but you'll do just fine with beer.
But Imagine, if you had wine all the time. The French have wine with every meal. They don't savor the individual glass of wine and think about the times they've had it. Wine is just... wine. It's what they have with dinner. If you had wine every day, it would be your beer. If every time you had sex, you were in a leather boy scout outfit, and there were 3 prostitutes, a set of handcuffs, and a big bottle of cooking oil involved, THAT would be your beer. Really weird beer, but still beer.
Beer cannot rise above what it is. If you order a beer, and it comes to you in a frosted mug with salt on the rim and a wedge of lime floating in it - it's still a beer. Strip away all the fancy trappings and you've got a beer. And maybe the sex isn't exactly your brand. Maybe he didn't nibble your ear like you like, or maybe she didn't moan in that way that gets you all hot. Or maybe there wasn't enough foreplay or whatever. You still had sex. You still got to drink your beer.
Now, porn. Porn is like... whiskey. It's everything about sex, distilled, concentrated, more intense. All the aspects of sex are distorted and taken to extremes. Now, where you might enjoy some beer, or savor a fine wine - you throw back a shot of whiskey. Nobody bangs back shots at a candlelit dinner, and nobody should be shooting whiskey all night every night. It gets the job done, and fast, but it's not something to savor and remember.
Every guy in porn has a huge dick, and every girl in porn has huge tits. It's just the way porn is. When you have sex with your partner, nobody expects a skullfucking and a cumshot in the eyes. Nobody thinks it's ok to hammer her ass for 30 minutes and then pull it out and stuff it in her twin sister's mouth. But that's de rigueur in porn. if you had a pornstar as a boyfriend - on the surface it might seem very alluring. He's muscular, he's attractive, he's well-endowed, and he's a champion in bed. But think a little more deeply about it. He's going to give you no foreplay at all, he's going to ram his dick in your throat for 20 minutes, he's going to fully expect you to take it in any hole he finds, he's going to pin you in awkward positions and hammer you ceaselessly for what will seem like an eternity - then he's going to hop up, blow a load on your face, and walk away and take a shower. No romance, no kissing, no tenderness - and not concerned about your needs in the least. Him going down on you? Maybe, for a minute, to get you wet enough to stuff his sausage into you.
So You can enjoy beer every night and savor the occasional glass of wine - but once in a while, when you just need a drink and don't want the extra attachments - a good stiff shot of the hard stuff is good for what ails you.
Now, this breaks the metaphor, but have you ever had a shot of whiskey and thought about some good beer you've had? I bet you have. Porn is more of a tool. A means to an end. And to that end, every aspect of sex has been pushed to the forefront, made bigger or harder. That's why pornos don't have good acting or coherent plots - because nobody cares. People don't watch porn to enjoy the movie - they watch it to enjoy themselves. Some whiskey will get you drunk. Beer will get you drunk, but it takes a lot longer, and you generally have a pretty good time on the way there.
