Day48

What is the difference between a loving couple photographed making love and a pair of porn stars having sex for money and the camera?

If you have never known true love between two people, you would probably say not much.



It is not easy to describe to someone who has never known a true love partnership. True love has no jealousy, because you trust your true love implicitly, True loves are proud of their partners.

Non of this applies to porn stars, with the possible exception of those few who actually love each other and are porn stars as well.

Not much over a hundred years ago the glimpse of an ankle was something shocking (as the song says). This relaxed in the 20s when flappers, shorter skirts and skinny dipping became popular with the rich young things. In the cities it was still thought shocking to show a knee. This continued until the end of the 50s, and 60s introduced the mini-skirt, hippies and free love.  Things quietened down with the maxi and midi dresses.  Apart from a brief period in the 60s, mens clothing has always been pretty dowdy.

Then along comes see through clothes for women and dowdy for men, with the exception of coloured shirts.  Now we have girls in micro skirts and bikini cut jeans and shorts just covering the fold. More people are skinny dipping, or sunbathing topless and nude. Some couples see nothing wrong in sharing a room with their mates and all making love with their own partners. Others go in for swapping, but go back to their own partners at the end of it. Keyring parties are apparently not uncommon. Of course we have all heard of Dogging and I read that some doggers are loving partners just satisfying an itch.

Couples volunteer for educational videos, I have seen one were happily married couples demonstrate intimate sexual methods for older couples. They appear to be loving couples who just have no problems with showing their lovemaking to others and on TV there are sex clinics.



So I think the line is blurring between what we see of porn stars and what we see of "normal" married couples. The digital  camera revolution has a lot to do with it. Of course some of us were taking nude pictures of their partners before digital and wish digital had come out earlier.

To finish I have often said, I love my wife and she loves me. I trust her completely as she trusts me. I have no jealousy over others seeing her naked pictures, or actually seeing her naked in public. As for people seeing us making love, It did happen by accident when a neighbour knocked and entered without stopping, we had a good laugh about it afterwards.
