Regimental Sex (totally NSFW) Photos of a room of one hundred couples having sex in formation. Um yeah, how romantic, or something.
It doesn't look very synchronized. I don't care what it is, I'm just really happy to see pubic hair. For real. I saw a young guy refer to women with pubic hair as "victorian" yesterday.
I would love to have seen the casting call (or ad or craigslist posting or whatever) for this.
Is it just my monitor, or are some of the shots partially pixelated (pp for short)? Like, any possible penis (pp for short) in the shot where you can see everyone, and cooter in the one where the guys are behind the girls.
I'm at work, so I can't see it, but if it's what I think it is, it's actually a class. In Japan. Penises and penetration were pixellated there until very recently. They may be screencaps from video, and the video may be several years old.
I know! I'll take a look on my Blackberry.
Yup. I was right. There are better explanations than mine in the comments section. "Five Hundred People Sex," indeed.
If I had my choice, I'd rather look at a pecker than a cooter.
Well, I'm not saying peckers can't be a lot of fun, but general consensus seems to support my point of veiw aesthically as opposed to sexually. Otherwise, there'd be just as much penis porn as there is traditional beaver shot stuff (and the porn business is nothing if not capitalistic, if there was a big enough market for it, they'd cater to it). What cock-centric porn exists seems to be geared towards gay men almost exclusively.
And there's actually a clip of the sex on Pornotube, too... It wasn't very sexy at all.
I can imagine. To paraphrase Robin Williams, it must've been like an industrial film covered in fur.
OK this is a partial derail. Speaking of men's bodies, v women's bodies.
I joined a new gym, the one that most of the judges, lawyers, and other more affluent people go to. In the locker room yesterday afternoon, I realized, especially with all these fatcats (and they are) how FUCKING UGLY men's bodies are, really. I mean there are the buff guys that are great to look at, but they are vastly outnumbered by the guys with guts so big that their genitals are out of view. . .And they just hang out in this locker room socializing, or going in and out of the steam room or sauna and some passages are tight and EWWW I don't even want to get close so these guys.
The gym I used to go to, I usually just went already dressed to work out and took care of cleaning up at home. This new one, the cost of it makes me want to get as many showers here as I can, to save electricity at home, but the aesthetic cost, it's great. (Not that I am any great shakes to look at, but still.)
Here's the clip on Pornotube. (extremely NSFW!) TrishaLynn is right, not sexy at all. Most of them are all in the same position but I did see one or two couples doing something a bit different - ooh, scandalous!
Interesting how they all seem to be going about it as if they're all alone - no interaction with other couples, not even looking at them, nothing.
danf: I'm not saying that male bodies can't be nice to look at, but the focus (from women at least) according to sex surveys is on the physique as a whole. "Buttocks" consistently score higer than "penises' in polls of physical attributes women check out on men. Put simply, women are far less dick obsessed than us guys.

I dunno about that, there's a great deal of cumshot and deep-throat porn where you hardly see naked women at all. Mostly it's just crank-swallowing and jizz-dumping: dicks galore. Doesn't look gay, either, unless they're meant to be instructional films.
Valid observation, but again that porn is aimed at men. The dick obsession is mostly a male phenomenon. Women like to look as much as we do, but they take in the whole physique rather than centering on the parts.
You know, I was never really turned on by the male physique until I saw that D'Angelo video a few years back. You know...the one that's just him singing naked. And I suddenly found myself flushed and mentally begging the camera man to PAN DOWN! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PAN DOWN!!!
First you say it's a gay male thing, then just a gay male thing jon. Which is it?
I have been curious about the fact that women don't buy gay porn for a long time. I'm the only one I know who likes it. Double the naked men, what's not to love?

I'm saying that cock-obsession is by and large a male thing, and even more so a gay male thing. Your own comment acknowledges that you are an exception to the general rule in digging the cock-oriented porn.
(granted, this may have a lot to do with men-straight and gay-being more visually oriented and aggressive about their sexual tastes than women, but anyway it's just an observation)
Those sex surveys have 55%-45% results and they turn around and say "most" men/women like yadda yadda as if that means anything. I like necks and collarbones, which box do I check? Fuck democracy.
