Adult literature and cinema

[everythingsxen]

Poll question: Adult literature and cinema

I am hoping to keep this thread nice and clean and not force the mods to lock it. It's a simple question do you "read" adult "literature" or "watch" adult "cinema"; that's all.

Like I said - please keep it clean. I am just curious how the stats will break down.

Sorry there are not enough spaces for all groups to be properly represented.

On edit: this can be an and/or question. i.e. you can watch cinema and not read literature or vice versa and still answer yes.

Whatever gets your groove on ;-)

1. No.

Got over that when I was a teen.

[StellaBlue]

3. My feelings exactly.

Straight female here.

I also don't understand v*brat*rs and "toys" - shows a lack of imagination, IMHO. Ew.

[bertha katzenengel]

23. You might understand better if

you were among the group of women who enjoy sex but have a very hard time "at the end" (since we're speaking in euphemisms). :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Actually, I think they can show more imagination.

They do open up more possibilities. I also don't understand why you had to censor vibrators. :shrug:

[GirlinContempt]

32. Agreed.

[miss_american_pie]

2. You need an other :)

I read Anais Nin, but I don't watch adult "cinema."

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. Sure.

In fact I just finished reading Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, and finished watching the Peter Kushing version of Hound of the Baskervilles.

That's what you mean, right?

[everythingsxen]

6. Oh of course...

;-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Yes to both.

I am a proudly pro-porn feminist.

[Quantess]

24. Cool, so am I.

:hi:


I don't see anything "degrading" about porn or soft-porn at all!
(Disclaimer: not in most cases.)

[libnnc]

30. me too

I think it's healthy and fun. :hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

35. Me too!

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

7. Yes to both.

:hi: :evilgrin:

[bridgit]

8. well i mean given that sample - Yes and I am a Straight Female, but...

for that matter, Atom Egoyan is an "adult" filmmaker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_Egoyan :shrug:

9. Kicking..

:kick:

Not nearly enough votes to form any sort of opinion...

[TimeChaser]

10. Um...

I've read and written adult-ish fan fiction and stories... :blush:

[everythingsxen]

11. Well that counts

:)

No need for the blush. I am reasonable sure you are part of a majority. :)

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Well...

if 'adult literature' includes Henry Miller, and if 'adult cinema' includes Pedro Almodovar, then my answer is 'yes'; if it means (insert suggestively titled blatant porn here), then no.

[HughBeaumont]

13. I was a perv coming out of the womb.

[everythingsxen]

14. Another kick for more votes!

[Broken_Hero]

15. yes

and i'm a straight male. My wife had issues with it at first, but I was single for so long, that my...collection was good sized. But since marriage, my wife and I do enjoy a nice film, to get us in the mood, or to give us some new insights...

[Rowdyboy]

16. My preference is written erotica (God knows why)...However, we keep

a good selection of various videos that MOST people could pick from. Hard core porn is INCREDIBLY boring, but well done erotica is a different matter.

[Nicole]

17. Well crap!

No wonder I can't find a date! All the straight men are busy watching adult cinema or reading adult literature. :cry:

[ContraBass Black]

33. But then, why can't I?

[taterguy]

18. Yes

37 years old and have always enjoyed both. I thought I would eventually outgrow it but I was wrong. The wife also enjoys it but not as frequently as I do

[xchrom]

19. yes to both.

[Phillycat]

20. This is like a super-elaborate game of "password".

Makes me want to run around screaming "PORN! PORN! PORN PORN PORN PORN!!" :D

[everythingsxen]

31. I think you already did...

Now hush.. you will hurt the children! I want statistics here!!

[Fox Mulder]

21. Yes.

[everythingsxen]

22. Interesting statistics, I would say

At the time of this writing, most people like *ahem* "adult literature" and/or "cinema".

Straight women and straight men seem to be the only dissenting opinions and thats a 50/50 ration of yes/no for the women and 15 to 1 for the men.

I think after another few days of collecting votes (Ideally I would like 100) I will start a new thread, inquiring about the whys and hows of the results...

[Withywindle]

25. Slightly bi female and...

...definitely yes. I like stories better than films. I also don't just read them, I love to write them.

[everythingsxen]

29. Excellent!

Writing is a good thing. Especially if you write good stuff! :evilgrin:

[BuddhaGirl]

26. a hearty YES! to both!

my husband and I enjoy watching porn together occasionally.

And we enjoy our, um, toys. :evilgrin: Just enhances the experience - it's not for a lack of imagination, as some judgmemental poster said upthread!

[everythingsxen]

28. Good for you!

:evilgrin:

[everythingsxen]

34. Kick for the East Coast morning people

[everythingsxen]

36. Giev more votes plz?
