. . . lifestyle marketing, IMHO.Especially gay porn. The designer clothes, the fake tans, the gym and protein supplement muscles, the houses on the beach, the posh cars, the parties. Perfection has a big, big price tag. A lot of gay porn is essentially a commercial. Straight porn isn't quite as bad yet, but it's getting there. And personally, I find marketing-centric porn of any persuasion pretty boring.
If you read Savage Love or other sex advice columns targeting young people, it becomes pretty obvious that young people today (1) watch a lot of current porn, (2) think that real people should look and act like today's porn stars, and (3) suffer from a lot of sexual anxiety and self-image problems because they or their partners don't measure up to current porn standards. People my age (I'm 39) seem to be able to watch porn and enjoy having sex with normal people (not always simultaneously!), but I think the younger generation is having some trouble recognizing the difference between fantasy and reality. Maybe they'll wise up eventually.

Follow Ups:
Assuming your observations are valid, which I think they are, then the porn viewers (particular younger porn viewers) are being exploited by various marketing companies to the fullest. For example, why should they pay money to buy the porn’s and then being exposed to various marketing tools subconsciously without even know it. Some of the disgusting subconsciously marketed ideas are obviously body piercing, body building, designer cloths, pubic hair trimming, shaving in the lower anatomy etc.Classic porn such as the Swedish Erotica series, Taboo, Aunt peg, etc don't have any of these marketing hype subconsciously build into it. Just good old porn.
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the fantastic answer. I think you hit it on the nose about the life style marketing tactic. LOL ! Even I failed to see that in the beginning.Yes, its very sad that we can just sitting down and watch some quality porn, like Aunt Peg, etc, without getting polluted with all the marketing hype.
