Sensual MoviesBack in the day, when the first sensual movies made their debut, sex was presented as something dirty, sordid, and imbalanced.
It was, of course. Sex has always had a negative reputation in the United States. Don’t believe me? Visit the Museum of Sex in NYC and you’ll see only the sordid side of sex.
To view erotica of any kind, appropriately called pornography, could only be done in seedy movie houses where you were afraid to sit on the upholstery.
When this kind of entertainment came home en masse, first in VHS and then later in DVD’s, they had to be sold discreetly in back rooms, out of the children’s sight, or in Adult Book stores among the 12” dildoes and blow up dolls.
Movies such as “The Green Door”, “Debbie Does Dallas” or “The Devil in Miss Jones” showed women tortured by their lust and for wanting sex. Needing to explore why they had nymphomaniac tendencies, they would pursue countless sexual liaisons to satisfy their curiosity and desperation.
This male interpretation of women as desperate, just because they wanted sex, and then having it only to satisfy their partner, left a 'bad taste' in almost every woman's mouth. Instead of getting turned on by these movies, they were getting genuinely annoyed and a little frustrated.
Fortunately, today’s sensual movies have taken a distinct turn away from the ludicrous to the sublime. Thanks to Candida Royalle and her staff of female writers, instead of showing sex as something that happens to women, it is presented as something women want because they expect sexual satisfaction.
Today's sensual movies recognize that women are orgasmic creatures, with literally hundreds of erogenous zones. With the right approach, techniques and imagination, they could expect sexual satisfaction each and every time they indulged in foreplay.
Especially popular are the stories by Candida Royalle. Ms. Royalle, who was once a porn star herself, has won numerous awards in the video industry for the content and editing of her films.
The stories are plausible and imaginative fun. Exciting in their build up and technique, they give an accurate portrayal of people getting excited in real time. No one is rushed in her scenes.
This is pornography at its finest, an evolved vision of what erotic art can be. Watching her movies is like taking a class to learn sexual techniques.
Unlike the pornography of yesteryear, women are no longer expected to get hot and bothered in record time. They are actually given a chance to become aroused.
These stories find women becoming aware of their sexual voice and taking sexual techniques to a higher level. They’re treating sexual pleasure as the woman's right, ability, and need, to be satisfied as well as the man's.
These male oriented fantasies may have served men’s ideas of stimulating visuals, but usually left women uninspired, scratching their heads, looking at the guys and asking "Are you kidding"? Indeed, if a man wants his female lover to watch and get excited by pornography, they need to understand that the story is the key to arousal for women in sensual movies.
Because the sexual situations were so preposterous, that even if it wasn’t a comedy, it was hilarious. Here the producers were trying to excite their audience with frontal nudity and carnal lust being portrayed on the screen. Instead, they were turning off half of their viewing audience. For erotica to interest the average woman, the story has to be plausible, and if a fantasy, should play itself out with likable and relatable characters. It would also be nice if the ‘stars’ had real bodies instead of artificially manufactured ones, but that’s another topic.
By watching erotic movies, sensual ideas can be embraced. They need to be presented in such a way that we can enjoy watching the stars without becoming overly concerned with their perfect images. If their aritifical images make us insecure about our real selves, instead of being turned on, we shut down and off, especially when we’re watching the movie with our partner.
If pornography is to come out of the dark ages and have any kind of positive impact on our sexual sensibilities, the producers must consider the other half of the audience; that is, the women.
It is not enough just to see vaginas, breasts, penises and buttocks without any rhyme or reason. For women to enjoy sensual movies, producers must remember that women need more than the visual to keep their attention and get their juices flowing.
