Hear, hear. I have never understood S&M, B&D and other forms of humiliating, degrading behavior. What people do in the privacy of their homes is their business but I certaintily don't want to experience it. Tattoing, if done in small and discreet manner is OK but when I see a young 20 something with huge and frankly horrific images on their body I cringe. Don't they realize they will, with luck, be 60 something and that tattoo will look awful ?   Guess you could say the weirdest fetishes I have is for large breasts and giantesess. God, I miss Bad Kitty and Shara.

Pornwise, my tastes are fairly varied and if the woman appeals to me, I'll put up with most any theme/genre/act in an effort to enjoy her/performance.

I don't mind if things get a bit rough within reason as long as there's not an overt sense of meanness or degradation to it. And no impression that things aren't consensual... I haven't got a r@pe fetish (though oddly, more than a couple women I've known do). A little slapping won't put me off, provided there's give and take (i.e.: Gianna Michaels).

I agree spitting is unattractive and I'm not wild when anyone uses the word 'shit' ...a pretty woman's asshole is a thing of beauty and an object of intense desire... please don't refer to it as a 'shitter.' Also, what's with the scrawling of graffiti across female foreheads... gonzo is fine, but must the girl have 'whore' Sharpied on her face?

I'm not wild about heavy tattoos (or even not-so-heavy) or excessive piercings, but if the woman's appealing, it's usually not a deal breaker (i.e.: some of the Suicide Girls).

The over-acting can be off-putting but rarely distracts to the point of making things unwatchable. It's not like I'm expecting filmic literature. If the pretty girl smiles sweetly with her face and breasts splattered with DNA, I don't really care if her lines sound wooden or cliche. This isn't to say that competent acting isn't unappreciated of course.

I'm neither pro nor anti-gangbang, and (again) if the woman is to my taste I'm pretty much happy to watch her do anything including things I'd not want in my own RL. Kiki Kakuchi getting peed on? I wouldn't want to do it to her myself, but she's so adorable that I'm not going to look away. Brutal face-fucking? A2M? Aggressive deep throating in the shower because puke is expected? Anal prolapse? Weird Japanese fetish stuff that makes Human Centipede seem tame? Again: none of these are things I'd likely engage in with someone I cared about enough to be intimate with in RL (unless it was something they really wanted of course) but I don't automatically find these acts off-putting in porn provided (yet again) that the actress appeals to me. Porn is not documentary... it's fantasy.

Some more general turn offs: anyone looking scared or regretful, anyone visibly dirty or unsanitary. The sometimes lengthy, drawn-out 'cruise' or 'hunt' portion of some 'van' or 'pickup' videos: like I want to spend 20 minutes listening to a couple of guys blather at each other while they're driving around 'looking' for a gal to proposition. When a woman's wearing pounds of makeup.

Still, like gOOber says, porn's usually best (IMO) when the people involved at least seem like they like each other and are having a good time (which is why amateur stuff from couples can be so enjoyable despite the lesser production values)... to me, explicit sexual acts can be expressions of emotion... at least that's how I think of them IME.

Kithara and I both wish the makers of porn would read your list Goober.

It is something AVN should write about. I think all porn should be labeled with what fetish group it appeals to, so there isn't a BDSM interlude in a blowjob movie. And no blowjob should end in spitting unless there is a clear warning on the label!

[Cutter]

20 minute closeup of parts: You are missing other good stuff.

When the audio track in no way shape or form MATCHES what is going on. (worse dubbing than a 70's japanese Movie)

When you can see the girl having a conversation with someone else or is on the phone with someone and takes a break to moan.

If you wish to see well done bondage and porn see my girls Anastasia Pierce and Christina Carter.

[Hark]

I agreed with Goober, so I won't repeat his list, but I'll add mine...

The video spends too much time on a particular area of her body, or she shows too much of it, and not enough of another.
Anal sex.  Sorry, I know some are fans, but I find it revolting.
Girls seemingly indifferent to sex.  The first time I saw Alexis Texas hardcore (I'm a mild fan), she was encouraging her partner in a tone similar to advising what groceries to buy, while he seemed to be having a good time just pounding the hell out of her.
Girls that sound fake in moaning.  Laura Orsolya & Maggie Green are hot to look at, but that Michigan-style accent is a total turnoff.  They sound similar to geese honking. 

[WadeWilsonEsquire]

• Over-acting and over the top moaning are huge turn-offs for me. Probably why I tend to go for more amateur stuff.
• When the dude who is filming adds commentary and it immediately becomes apparent this his personality/persona is insufferable.
• Drawn out and silly fake scenarios. (fake gonzo stuff. fake parties. etc.)
• Close ups of a guys face randomly and without warning during the porn. Those can be pretty devastating.

^Hit the nail on the head.I can't stand it when the guy holding the camera talks throughout the scene.Just shut the fuck up and film.It's always with a hot actress in the scene,too.
-the only thing I don't like about gangbangs is 1 guy is getting a blowjob,1 guy is screwing her,1 or 2 are getting a handjob and the rest are at the side jerking off and trying to keep their erections.Nobody wants to watch guys jerking off in straight porn.
-movies or scenes that try to pass the actress off as being her first time on camera when clearly everyone knows the actress has done porn before.
-Ron Jeremy.Nothing to do with what he looks like.It's the getting the actress to countdown to his cumshot and his staying in character and making wisecracks while he's screwing.We get it,Ron.You're not like the other guys.You are really a method actor.
-scenes that have the guy getting a blowjob for 10 or 15 minutes.I'd rather see him play with her tits for 10 to 15 minutes.

[tdotter]

-When music is being played through the whole scene.This is usually done in older porn.
-When an actress is advertised as being a certain race when clearly they are not a member of that race.Like Asian or East Indian and especially Native American.
-This I notice happens in almost every scene nowadays.When the male constantly pulls out to gets his dick sucked.It seems like an actor can't screw more than a few minutes without pulling out and getting sucked more.
-when a scenes ends without the money shot.
-when an actress with great tits keeps her shirt or bra on through the whole scene.

[tdotter]

False advertising.This has to do with what is promised in a movie and is not there.An actress that is on a DVD or listed on the credits of a DVD and she is not in the movie.
Here is a perfect example:

[salem]

When a stunning woman is giving a guy a blow-job, and he then proceeds to grab her head and force her down. Dude, you're getting a blow-job from a stunning woman, you don't need to shove her head down!

[Lesbian Bob]

When I cum too early, and I'm not even in the movie.
