A Fresh Look At Porn Sex Vs. Real Sex

by Elizabeth Nolan Brown

If you need something to make you smile (or maybe LOL) today, see this video on the difference between porn sex and real-life sex, as explained with fruit, vegetables and small kitchen appliances. It's like watching the Food Network while listening to Siri teach sex-ed with The Price Is Right theme music playing in the background. So: Pretty much amazing. It might make you a little hungry, too.

Also, you'll learn some things. For instance, despite their frequent occurrence in porn, less than 20 percent of women have actually had a threesome. Only 11.5 percent have had a same-sex sexual experience, 40 percent have had anal sex and "22 percent say they'll take a hot load in the face."

For more on the artifice in porn worlds, see these photos of adult film actresses before and after having their hair and makeup done, from makeup artist Melissa Murphy. And here's an interesting study from earlier this year on what porn performers look like, do on camera and how it's evolved over the past 40 years. If you're curious, the massive analysis, "Deep Inside: A Study of 10,000 Porn Stars and Their Careers," found the average female porn star is 5’5″ tall, weighs 117 pounds, has brown hair and is named Nikki.
