Travel makes cultural differences easier to discern.
- In Barcelona you’re naked when you’re naked and nudity doesn’t hurt children.
- In London your naked when your genitals are visible and genitals harm children.
- In LA you’re naked when your nipples are visible and nipples harm children.
Meanwhile, porn is being made everywhere – but:
- In Barcelona female porn performers are presented as sexy.
- In London female porn performers are presented as ‘dirty’.
- In LA female porn performers are presented as sluts.
So do views on porn mean anything unless you first know where the porn being discussed comes from…?

No.
Cultural context is everything, in my opinion.
Yes. The culture and times help put things into perspective.
thats why I love barcelona and I am happy that they will win the champions league. best regards from vienna.
What if you’re from LA but watching porn in London? Are the girls slutty or dirty? Occasionally you’ll see eurostars in American porn… I wonder if they get any more (or any less) cred, money, etc.
Edco – I don’t think that American porn is seen as superior to euro-porn as much as it’s seen as different. There are scenarios very popular in the US that don’t feature heavily on the continent. The biggest difference is that outside BDSM you rarely see any performer who doesn’t look happy to be involved. Tear-filled eyes and running mascara are almost non-existant.
