my apologies in advance for being so long winded
I first got the internet when I was twelve and from the time I got it right up to the present day a proportion of my time on the net has always been dedicated to porn. For the first few years I would look at anything I could get my hands on, back then there were no streaming videos and with a 56.6k modem even some of the pictures took an age to load up. By the time I was 16 I had pretty much looked at all the kinds of porn I could think of and every fetish availabe (though I would say the variety is so much more now).
Looking back I think that I was becoming bored with porn by the time I was 15, don't get me wrond I was still viewing it and masturbating but I was just going through the motions of horny adolescent life. I suppose many people would think that to be normal, considering that by that point the novelty of porn should have worn off. However I saw it as more than that and by the time I was 17 I felt disenchanted with porn and I eventually ended up reading more and more dirty stories (www.asstr.org and www.literotica.com both sites which I still use).
In the subsequent years I would still occaisionally watch porn especially the fetish stuff that I enjoyed but I always wanted porn more like the stories and books I read. I wanted too see porn with guys in it that don't happen to be hugely stacked muscle bound guys with 8+ inch cocks, I wanted to see porn with attractive men with average penises. I wanted to see porn with real women, you know like women that I see at uni or girls I grew up with, the women you see on the street or working in a store.
I think the mainly problem I found with porn overall was that when I watched it everything I did was purely mechanical and the resultant orgasm was adequate. I know for sure that the stories got me so much more worked up an much hornier. Though over those years the fact that I found porn less than satisfactory wasn't really a major worry in my life and I had much more important things to be getting on with than seekinng out good porn.
It wasn't until the later half of 2007 that I really started to look for some good porn, I decided that I wanted to build up a collection that I really enjoyed. It was actually a handful of amateur Australian sites that really perked my interest in porn again and I've had one month subscriptions at:
www.beautifulagony.com
www.ifeelmyself.com
www.abbywinters.com
What I found with these websites was that the material seemed very sincere and passionate, the solo and girl-girl action was mind blowing and with the confessions on beautifulagony you acknowledged the women in the clips to be real people and in a sense I had an affinity for them and I could laugh at what they said or sympathise with them and so on. Furthermore the nature of the clips/scenes made you feel that you were privy to something special and the women in them were gifting you with a view of there true sexual nature with no veils of pretense. This was definetly not something that I had been able to experience with my previous experiences with porn. The amateur nature of the sites meant that the women I saw were the kind that I had craved to see and they were women I could see myself with.
In the past month or so I've tried to find some more mainstream (in the sense that it is produced) porn so to speak and more in the film rather than clip format. I decided having read a lot of recommendations to pick up a couple of instructional films namely Bend Over Boyfriend and Tristan's Ulimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, both films covered subjects close to my own sexual interests and aside from the fact that I found them both great vehicles for delivering sex education I also found them highly stimulating. This to me came as a suprise especially since the Ultimate Guide........ used the kind of porn stars that I had traditionally shunned away from, but the nature of the film and the way Tristan presented them and the interview with them allowed me to see them in a completely different light which in a sense allowed me to build see them as real people and to develop a sense of liking for them (which seems to be very important for me to enjoy the porn).
Having watched these I went on to watch Chemistry 2, which again used actors from the industry but again portrayed them in a light which allowed me to really love the film. I watched Pirates and although I didn't find the most sexually stimulating of porn films I found it quite funny and entertaining.
I was just wondering if anybody could recommend some good sites, DVDs or books, I'm really up for watching or reading anything so long as I think I can have the connection with those in the porn, please do bear in mind that as a student that my budget is somewhat restricted but I don't mind paying if I think it is worth it.

When porn starts getting boring, give it a break for a few months and then go back to it.

I know nothing about natural porn. All of the stuff I watch is incredibly contrived.
Jayo is the ultimate Abby Winters fan here on ADT. He is also really really into the more natural porn as well as erotic literature. Maybe he'll find this thread and be able to help you out.

Maybe find a way to mix your reading and watching. Try reading something like Joseph Kessel's Belle de Jour then watch Luis Bunuel's erotic version with Catherine Deneuve and Kris Kramski's pornographic version with Jessica Drake. Read something like Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, then watch Henry and June, which, I believe, was the first film slapped with an NC-17 rating. In Henry and June, the Henry Miller and Anais Nin characters attend a screenng of Bunuel and Dali's Un Chien Andalou/Andalusian Dog.

When I was first on the internet, I had a 1200bps modem and I had to ASCII save usenet files, manually cut/paste them together (part 1 of 7, part 2 of 7, part 3 of 7...), then UUDECODE them into GIF file. And if it sucked or something was corrupted or I f*'d up the copy/paste somewhere in 50,000 lines of code, it was TFB.
Then I racked up a huge bill on CompUServe, but at least I got stuff without having to cut and paste.
Anyway, back to the subject:
I highly recommend (for reading) Nancy Friday's books of sex fantasies. I prefer them in reverse order of publication since they got better over time: Women On Top, Men in Love, Forbidden Flowers and My Secret Garden. All are collections are sex fantasies and experiences from real people, not porn writers, so there's a "realness" to it that floats some people's boats (mine in particular). Plus they run the gamut from vanilla sex to taboo stuff to really weird (gender-bending). A lot of straight, plus some gay and bisexual. I think there's something in there to please anybody. The only thing I don't think is represented is scat (fine with me).
Men in Love is written by male participants. The others are all female, so you get both viewpoints. I can't recommend these books highly enough.

pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world

Mesmeric, you would probably like Girlfriend Films, they have a lot of naturalistic lesbian scenes, both with non-porn 'amateur' and porn performers.
Lots of kissing and pussyeating as opposed to the excessive toyplay and OTT performances you see in most G/G porn. It is surprising to find a performer you know from gonzo doing one of these videos and seeing them behave completely differently.
For straight gonzo, there are certain performers/couplings and directors who more often deliver more believable performances with chemistry (whether or not their passion is 'authentic' is something I don't think a viewer can know for sure).
For whatever reason, probably tied to the way the industry operates, this occurs most often in the more S/M oriented porn, but there are exceptions.
Mason is the most consistent gonzo director out there, both her Massive Asses series and her rougher Slutwoman videos with Annette Schwarz have several scenes with a sense of real chemistry between the performers. Jake Malone is less consistent, imo, and often very rough but when his performers click (Annette Schwarz/Brandon Iron, Melissa Lauren/Sandra Romain) the result is impressive.
Michael Stefano is underrated as a director (who does his camera work? Juan Cuba? Sam No?) and as a performer he often gets the best reaction from a variety of women: Gianna (the scene in Dirty Little Stories 2 is great); Luscious Lopez; Rosario Stone, etc.

Mesmeric I appreciate your thoughts on this and I understand where you're coming from. I watch alot of g/g movies, especially Viv Thomas and Triangle. Girlfriends Films, to some extent. Mike Quasar has shown a knack for this -- his vol. of Finger Lickin' Good is excellent.
I watched alot of gonzo in the 90s. Stagliano, Tom Byron, Van Damage. I liked the interviews, the sense of unpredictability. I liked that these guys could have a rapport with the women. What is now called gonzo seems to be very mechanical. They try to make it more exciting by making it more and more extreme/demeaning. But if the action is mechanical, the camerawork and editing ho-hum, and if the performers don't interest me, then making it more extreme doesn't necessarily make it better.
You said you want to see performers that remind you of "women you see on the street or working in a store". I agree! Women like this can be beautiful and we see them every day. The "Andie Valentino" next door or the "Karlie Montana" at work. It's why I look for all-natural performers in familiar setups. I like the way Viv Thomas puts the women in professional or sporty attire which they strip each other out of.
