@Mrker1234 said in Will the 'Golden Era' of Gay Sex Movies with proper storyline ever make a comeback?:
Most are now designed for the web and to allow people to get off quickly.
And the irony, for me, is that I find all the "pre-sex" stuff to be more arousing: The search, the look, the returned glance, the first brush of hands together, the first kiss, etc. Those are the things that are unique with each person. Once we get into the territory of a medical textbook, it's all pretty much the same on screen. (In real life, sex is more exciting and individualised because people talk to each other, even if only to say "what do you like?" or "please lick my elbow." One doesn't have that in porn because even with good story lines there's a director dictating the action.)
It's not that different than young people now seeing something like a letter or email with full paragraphs and actual punctuation as hopelessly boring and prefer/use a text with everything abbreviated and a couple of emojis
That's a very interesting and perceptive connection! I think the similarity here is noting many peoples' failure to distinguish between something functional to be done quickly and something to be savored over time. An encounter with a passing jogger who just wants a quick suck/cum/zip back up will soon be as forgotten as a text message saying "running late see you in 10." For that matter, forget the jogger--whip out the porn and soak a tissue in less than a minute.
While I don't consider myself "old" or even "middle-aged," I appreciate the care involved with writing cards/letters and thus I send them as well. I know that many years from now I will thumb through them fondly remembering the people who wrote and handled them. One doesn't get that feeling pulling an old email from an archived hard drive.
