Hardcore pornography can be organized by categories specific to the content of the production. Physical Attributes- Age, race, body features, and sub cultures are all subcategories of this type of hardcore porn.
Fetishes- Bondage/binding and bodily fetishes make up a portion of hardcore porn productions, tailored to an audience with specific sexual fetishes not held by the common audience. Sexual Orientation- Many pornographic productions are geared toward a heterosexual audience, but several producers make videos and photographs of gay, lesbian, and transexual partners. Reality- This subcategory of hardcore porn features staged real life scenarios, like women who appear unaware of someone watching them undress, or amateur or homemade videos. Specific Sex Acts- Pornography that emphasizes specific sexual actions, such as anal sex, oral sex, or masturbating, among other actions pertaining to one or more partners. Computer Generated- Pornographic creations like Magna, Hentai, Avatar, Anime, Cartoon, and interactive porn make up this category. Many of these types are of Japanese decent. Illegal- Some types of pornography have been made illegal due to overwhelmingly explicit content. Child pornography is illegal because they violate certain laws. Snuff is another illegal type of porn in which a performer, consenting or not, dies during the film. This is widely considered and urban legend in the porn industry. |
Aside from these categories of hardcore pornography, many other types of productions are out there on the internet and in adult video stores. All these different genres may seem like overkill, but every type shares a common purpose; to discern reality from representation.
Some types are more effective in achieving this goal than others. For example, anal sex is very popular, aside from conventional pornographic material. Why? According to John Stagliano, a famous hollywood pornography director, anal sex forces actresses to produce a genuine response; she can't fake it. Faking pleasure is a main concern shared by viewers who watch conventional pornography, but anal sex is difficult to fake. Stagliano states that viewers want to see more "testosterone" in women, and anal sex is the answer. To view the article Stagliano is interviewed in, click the button at the bottom of this page. Other categories may seem like they could not achieve this goal of reality at all. Hentai porn is completely computer generated, so how could it come off as realistic? The answer lies in the perception of the viewer. Some people may wish to assume an alternate definition of reality; Hentai is geared towards these individuals. The purpose of Hentai, however, is the same as any other category of hardcore pornography. |
