Chop - I'd do it but I think the buttons are messing up MML's mic somehow. Maybe what we need is an emergency inflate button to get him up from underwater where he was last week.

Balloons.

I just know that a couple of porn webmasters or content shooters made that one up after a couple of blunts and some Jaegermeister. |jester|

I understand a number of the niches that I am not into. If that makes sense... so the answers are getting a bit mixed up some times I think. Some of you say you dont understand the gagging on the cock thing. If you took a second to think about it, there are a few possibilities. Cock is so big she gags. She wants the cock so much, she wants it so deep that she will risk gagging. She will do exactly what is asked even if it requires her not to breath.

I knew a guy who was incredibly turned on by sleeping beside a woman. He was also turned on by bareback and cumming inside her. Ok now thats vanilla for you but to understand him he was turned on by a woman who would risk his seed impregnating her and that she, being the smaller physical being, would lay next to a man who could take her life in a second. She honors him with this. Now before you go ewwwww. He doesnt think about taking her life, just about the possibility and that women trust men to do more then treat them with care...they also protect them from harm.

Ok so now for my "I really have never understood" niche... preggo sex. I am not entirely sure what is sexy about that. It has been explained to me as the ultimate naughty girl who is horny even when pregnant but its been explained other ways too and I just cant get it.

The other thing I understand but I cannot view is drinking cum. It really makes me gag.

So while there are many things like ass to mouth that I dont like or think are really all that popular, I can understand the sentiments.

As for the porn industry making up half these niches? May not have made them up but they sure are bringing awareness to them. Jim was so very sure that there was a ton of women that liked sleeping sex...but I can tell you that there is a fraction of people (men and women) who are into it and now there is a huge percentage of people who are aware of it. I have no idea if over time that "into it" percentage would grow.

I think being a parent of teens who I know surf porn sites when I am not around, has made me very aware of the crap sites. If someone has an internal urge to be drugged before sex, tied and fucked or hurt while enjoying sex...they will find other like minds. I am worried about the warping of young minds. Anyone else?

I "get" pretty much every niche (though I'm disgusted by some, like gaping assholes and cervix-fucking). I don't think anybody could "make up" a fetish and successfully market it if the fetish didn't exist already in one form or another.

I think it's a lot easier for people to understand other people's fetishes when they actually talk to customers and have some experience providing live "service" (phone sex, escorting, camming, etc.). People who get into this industry and expect everyone to be just like them are really . . . limited in imagination and out of touch with reality. Yes, I think people whose minds are boggled by the concept of ***OTHER PEOPLE*** getting off on balloons (or feet or ATM or whatever) are really unimaginative. But hey -- let's pretend people DIDN'T get off on those things -- more power to any woman who could seduce an audience into developing a fetish that never existed.

The stuff that's made up is the reality stuff where it's more a situation of someone pursuing a concept that's totally ludicrous (that pizza glory hole site comes to mind). I also think webmasters overestimate how much interest there is in certain kinds of content and wind up creating a bigger market for it than there is by making it practically impossible to find anything better. A lot of consumers wind up tolerating and buying content that they don't really like just because they want porn so badly that they take whatever is overexposed and easy to find in the heat of the moment (unless of course they have a true paraphilia and will search high and low for their fetish and nothing else will do).

In marketing any fetish/paraphilia, it's all about psychology. They're not MY kinks but I 'get' what they're all about, enough so to market them rather successfully anyway. To suggest that the internet 'made up' any fetish is pure ignorance.

The one that I don't understand is gimp (or disabled)

same here.... it just screams Huh? wha? to me...

But I bet someone is laughing all the way to the bank. |jester|

Another I have just thought of... it may be to some tastes, but definately not mine, is female body builders.

This, I know, is a genuine fetish and not an artifiacially created one, but I don't understand what people find appealing about a 'muscley' woman's body.

Humiliation (i.e. gagging, vomitting, "donkey punches"). The other day on the Hun I saw a video where a guy forced down a woman's head on his cock and vomit spewed out her nose! I don't get it. It's not giving me a hard on. To me this stuff is woman hating.

I actually like Sex and Submission but the context and mood of this other type of "rough stuff" is a totally different vibe. (BTW, S&S is hardcore bondage with penentration but they always show the smiling couple at the end after the scene.)

Max Hardcore, JM Productions, Exteme Associates I don't get.

So now when unsuspecting people do a Google search for Bruce Ballon they will be directed to this thread! |jester|

depends how its presented. I knew a fellow in a wheelchair who was a webmaster. He made a members only sex site meant to be a site for people who are in the chair. What he found out was that there was a HUGE amount of women who were turned on by these guys and wanted to find one for a life mate (wanted to take care of them?) so he was surprised to find that it became a kind of meeting or dating place as well. I think that it was just his way of saying WE HAVE SEX TOO and to give hope and normalcy to their lives.

He was not offended by others who just wanted to see a guy in a chair getting off (oh I should add he did have women who were disabled with guys who were not) He never got the feeling that people were paying for a membership to just laugh at them or demean them...ever.



.

other muscle women would find it appealing. must be a small niche. there is a muscle guy site which I sell memberships to my for women traffic even though it could really be a gay site inside. one never knows and even the surfer gals are wary but they still buy in from time to time. might be enough men who like strong women to make it a worthy niche.


/

Well I have always said that bukkake was TOTALLY made up by the porn industry...proof that the guy got off.

course NO ONE GIVES A SHIT if the woman gets off....if you want to talk about woman hating...wouldnt leaving her pleasure out be one of the criteria? just saying.....



.

Yes, I agree with that.. maybe because genitals and intercourse are (generally) censored in Japanese media they needed a way to keep the paying viewers coming back for more without whilst remaining legal.

On a similar note (and not completely off topic):
I have been reading about Japanese sex recently... the are a very strange bunch of people... no offence intended... I have discovered practices including:

Gokkun
Tamakeri
Burusera and Namasera shops

to name just a few. (I'll let you search the translations!)

PS the .coms of the above words are already taken |cry|

Interesting story susanna. Thanks for sharing it.

There are heaps of thing I don't get, and I'm saying that even as I'm new enough to this biz not to have seen some categories (men humping balloons? I don't even want to see that... :) ).

Funny how so many here dislikes facials, wasn't this whole industry kind of built around the moneyshot? :D

I don't get old and fat, I don't get squirting, and I really don't get CFNM.. wtf, they're just sitting there :) Public thongs and similar are also on my "don't get" list, I mean just walk outside and watch the beach girls for chrissake

I actually don't get much of the whole "Amateur" thing and complaints that porn looks too professional and glossy and whatnot. It's supposed to look professional, Amateur is what happens in my bedroom already! Maybe I should go work for Private...

I completely understand most of the weirder niches, including......(not sure if I should admit these, lol).......pee, midgets, balloons, scat, smothering, midgets, amputees, sleeping sex, etc etc.
I love the niches of the sites that I build - bbw, hairy, pregnant, oral, mature, granny, indian, shemales, amateurs, tits.
|bananna|

I know I'm pretty weird, but even with my tastes I just don't get snotgirls, although the strangest niche of all for me is porn involving "proper" Porn Stars.
|huh

Yep this is the one for me


When i watch porn i need to know the people got off on what they did

But they do get off on it...those that are into it are really into it. I personally think domination and submission is less about sex then it is about alot of other emotional things. The power exchange is a stress reliever for one. I hear some call it an equalizer...these are powerful by day people who enjoy submitting in private because it equalizes them, humbles them etc.

The pain factor during orgasm is something that people get addicted too. To be flogged then fucked to orgasm heightens the orgasm because of adrenaline and endorphins.

You probably have heard of subspace as well. You can read a great bit on this here http://www.powerotics.com/hans/mic/bgeng11.html

Vanilla sex can bring out the endorphins but usually just adrenaline and norepinephrin. An easy way to adding endorphins is pain.

Anyone who wants to try this out as a very simple test (some of you will say this is crazy) is to place clothes pins on your nipples. Males or females can do this. Put them on mid wank. :D and yes its going to hurt. If possible, keep wanking and you will get to a point where your nipples no longer hurt even though you have not removed the pins. This is when the endorphins kicked in. If you orgasm at this point you will experience something 5 x greater then your best orgasm ever.

Now safety first. Be careful how long you keep those pins on for. If you just arent getting to the point of no pain ...take them off.

More info then some of you want to read but it may be of interest to some.

i do understand certain points between pain can be pleasure, but i am realy not gonna put some clothes pins on my nipples, lol and me already laughing if i have to try that on my hubbies nipples, because if there is one thing i may not touch on his body....then it will be his nipples:D

I don't know what it's called, but i really don't get the whole "having a woman fart in my mouth" thing.

But, i was once a psych major, so i guess I "get" most niches... I don't like anything really bizzare, but for many of them, i feel bad that people aren't getting the therapy they need.

I can vouch for this |whip|

last time a friend of mine send me a movie ( was a blooper) and i dont know the sponsor anymore, the girl had to lick the guys asshole, the guy thought he would be funny and just when the girls started to lick, the guy farted, the girl was furiouse, she got so pissed she walked away, i never understood the licking ass thing, but after seeing that movie i also know even pornstars dont like that niche but still they do it, its probably a money thing.

You've never had a rim job?|goodidea

|jester| this is getting to be a pretty interesting thread :D

i am not gonna tell you what i did and did not get |catfight| |boobies|

You don't know what you are missing. :D

I "get" most things, even if I don't agree with them.

The ones that really stretch my understanding are hair and bbw.

Cum swapping kind of yucks me out, now that I think of it.

You'd be amazed how many people do like that and are willing to pay for it. I can't say it's my personal prefrence but it's the odd and different stuff that converts best!

heayyyyy i just got my diner inside my body and i want it to keep it inside|catfight| btw i know strange niches make alot of money i started this bizz with strange niches, but still cum on a sandwich...........Stu------>>>>>puking now, but puking in a glass so she can drink her own puke again, hahahah lol and that is also a niche which i dont understand|shocking|

Cum swapping and drinking I definately don't get but that might be because I'm too squeamish to think about the topic long enough to try and analyze it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fetish for long hair.

mmm nothing strange with long hair fetish...i think damn wrong smilie should be this one |huh

Now I'm too lazy to read all the posts in this thread in depth... but I'll sing along on the balloons tune. What the hell is that all about???

For me I think I can "relate" to other people being obsessed with different body parts. Tits for example (now why did I pick that example? :D )
I can even see why somebody would get excited over different aspects of the sexual act itself - or related intimate situations.

But a balloon?
To me thats the same as saying "Damn tables make me horny" or something. Makes absolutely no sense to me |confused|
(No disrespect intendid to those who get balloons)

I can understand the hairy niche. For example Asians do not have much public hair and they like it hairy. Men in Africa and Middle East consider females pretty only if they are really huge and fat.

Those two niches are like alot of things in life. I cannot understand, but I can accept. :)

What about private hair? :D
