Help find porn for my wife?
November 17, 2010 1:29 PM Subscribe
My wife wants me to go and find us some porn to watch together.
I'll explain the scenario a bit:
This is a bit of a big shift for her, and I fully support it. After two kids, ten years on and off the pill and years of breastfeeding, my wife seems to have finally reached some sort of hormonal equilibrium.
Sex frequency and intensity is way up, life is good, and we are branching out. Toys, role-play, lots of daytime innuendo and exhausting nights, and it's just *great*.
Anyhow, our next adventure is porn. She has described her desire to enjoy not so much a porn movie, as a movie spiked with porn, so something with a plot, dialog, reasonably believable characters as well as full-on fucking.
I'm not sure where to start looking. As a guy, I'm familiar with porn of course, but it's been more of a get-it-get-off type of scenario, so the stuff I'd watch is not going to so anything for her at this point.
So, I'd like some suggestions please!

Best answer: This overview is very helpful.

Tipping the Velvet? I'm not sure if that quite qualifies as porn. It's definitely erotic, though. Henry and June is another one.
Maybe something not quite hardcore to start out with and see how you both feel about things?

If you're both okay with a violent crime thriller, Bound has some incredibly hot (lesbian) sex in it. In between the violence and tension and literal money laundering.

Oh, snap, nadawi! Okay, here's another good overview of where to find porn aimed specifically at women.

if you find Bound up her alley, there's also gia. i would consider both of those movies very important to the development of a young nadawi.

Best answer: Pirates and Pirates II both earned favor in my house. The acting is bad, but everyone involved knows this and hams it up to good effect.. There's comedy, something resembling plot, and raunchy porn. One of the things that both movies get right is that the sex scenes are exactly the right length, neither too long or too short.

Also, not strictly porn, but Spartacus: Blood and Sand and True Blood have been known to raise the temperature in our house quite a bit. True Blood has more plot, but both have plenty of eye-candy

Oh, yeah, Short Bus is awesome. It will completely change your perception of The Star-Spangled Banner.

Best answer: If you want "plot, dialog, reasonably believable characters as well as full-on fucking" then I think feature movies are the type you're looking for. Here are some specific examples of recent features from some of the big adult companies. It should be easy to find trailers of these to see if they're what you're after.
Bluebird Films- Bonny & Clide, Hustler- This Ain't Avatar XXX, New Sensations- The Sex Files: A Dark XXX Parody (and part 2), Vivid- Malice in Lalaland, Digital Playground- Body Heat, Wicked- Speed

For a Canadian source of all kinds of fun things, Come As You Are is your friend (bricks-and-mortar store is in Toronto). Here is a link to their DVD page, and they have a "Sex & Storyline" subsection. ("Big budget, big productions, big acting, and big sex. For those who like drama and a little plot with their porn.")

Best answer: Most porn shops have sections for vintage '70s porn, and many of these are surprisingly watchable. I recommend The Opening of Misty Beethoven as a starting point.

Seconding "Bound". VERY sexy and not crass.
A dozen years ago I showed that to my soon-to-be-husband as a not-so-subtle hint that I wanted him to tie me up. We just celebrated our 12th anniversary of "tying the knot", in all kinds of ways.
Have fun!!

Aria (in particular the short with Brigitte Fonda in a version of Tristan and Isolde) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being have wonderful erotic sequences and are spectacular films as well.

Every woman I've ever watched a Michael Ninn movie with has been very happy and turned on. Lots of sex, with gorgeous people, and flowing sorts of plots. Silly, like most porn, but much more than tv-repairman schlock.
I haven't seen his later works, but IMDB lists a ton. I think my favorites when I was watching more porn were Latex and Forever Night (clip).

Response by poster: You all are my new friends :)
I know I was a bit vague about situations and kinks but this is all *very* new to her so pretty much anything is game right now, until she develops a taste of her own.
Keep them coming!

I think Vicky Christina Barcelona is a classic chick porn. I was surprised at how quickly I jumped at my husband after we watched it. Yeah, so. Um. Vicky Christina Barcelona. Big ups for that film.

Best answer: this is a hit or miss movie, depending on tastes - but if she's submissive, i'd put the secretary in the same vein as bound and gia. nothing explicitly hardcore, i suppose - but i would only watch that movie with someone i was planning on having sex with.

I was just about to say Secretary. Not exactly porn, but definitely functions similarly.

There's not that much full-on fucking, but every time I watch the movie Sirens I later on end up making any guy I may happen to be dating at the time very, very glad I did.
Ang Lee's Lust, Caution has some very graphic sex scenes (it was NC-17) and one DOOZY of a great plot.
A day or two ago someone posted a whole tribute to Maria de Medieros on the blue - it reminded me about how Henry and June did really interesting things to me.

Candida Royale was making porn flicks branded as being the equivalent of romance novels--geared towards women, with plots and emotions or something. Can't vouch for it firsthand though, just remember thinking it was unusual.
I think Madison Young has done some stuff you can get at blowfish that's got vague plot or premise in a sort of goofy hipster tongue-in-cheek way.
Some people find it the anti-hot, and too thought provoking/disturbing/emotionally rousing/pretentious, but Catherine Breillat's Romance might fit (I love it, though admittedly I find it totally unerotic but I know folks who dislike the thinkiness and just put it on to drool at the hot guy).
As for veering into totally not porn but steamy, I can't remember for sure but Henry and June, Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Don't Look Now always got touted as being sexy. Dangerous Beauty maybe? Dangerous Liasions.
This is probably waaaay too off the wall, but there's also In the Realm of the Senses. To me it's one of the only movies I've ever seen where the sex is totally straightforward, not sexy or unsexy, just sort of is, and is there because sex happens to be a big part of what went down so why not show it in proportion to how major it was, but not with any other super loaded significance per se, at least while it's being presented. (I'm not articulating this well!) But the end would probably be too much for you if you're just trying to get in the mood (pretty big boner killer, no pun intended), so skip it.

The Opening of Misty Beethoven was remade as a musical in 2004, called (iirc) "Misty Beethoven: The Musical". I haven't seen all of it yet, but I have seen clips featuring a singing penis. kinda awesome.
