with porn you only touch yourself for the most part...that's one thing..porn lacks the imagination, the mystery of erotica...I prefer it in literature like Henry Miller or Anais Nin. The porn film industry is like a fast food restaurant....no ambience, no class. I also dislike fake boobs across the board..If you've lived an adventuresome life, you really don't need anything but great memories. There's so much sex in movies now that porn has lost it's attraction for most consumers. If I watch erotic film, I prefer the European style more than others. Delta of Venus was a Czech film based on Anais Nin's first novel...it's more my type than the Debbie does Dallas shit. I never watch those
This is interesting: pornography (n.) 1843, from Greek pornographos "(one) depicting prostitutes," from porne "prostitute," originally "bought, purchased" (with an original notion, probably of "female slave sold for prostitution"), related to pernanai "to sell," from PIE root *per- (5) "to traffic in, to sell" (see price (n.)) + graphein "to write" (see -graphy). A brothel in ancient Greek was a porneion.
