We Watched Porn Together for the First Time

Confession time. I’m a sex blogger, but I’m not a huge fan of porn.

Not in a judgy way, but in an “I let my analytical thoughts ruin the action and take me out of the scene” sort of way.

When I do watch, I like to see real couples filming themselves rather than produced content with actors. I don’t know what it is — something about acting during sex makes it feel less authentic to me. Like, is she really enjoying herself? Is she really having that fifth orgasm? Or is it just happening because it’s scripted?

I also worry about the actors’ safety without the use of condoms. Like many jobs, this one comes with some pretty hefty health hazards, and everyone involved in the making of porn needs to follow strict testing guidelines.

But as long as everything is safe, sane, and consensual, I think that porn can be an incredible art form.

I usually prefer reading erotica and letting my imagination envision whatever I want the characters to look and sound like. Most of my self-pleasure sessions are spent with a strong vibrator, a hot bubble bath, and some sexy tunes. I love to lie back, listen to the pulsing beat of the music, and let myself create any scene I want in my head.

But all my criticisms aside, there are some real gems out there in the adult film genre. And I thought it was high-time my partner and I practiced the age-old activity of watching porn together, as a couple. Something we’ve never done before.

And we decided that Fuckenstein was a great way to start.

On horror porn (and horror-comedy)

What makes a couple choose something like Fuckenstein for their very first erotic film enjoyed together? It just goes to show what kind of couple we are. A little bit weird. Artsy. Lovers of gothic literature and horror cinema.

We’re both huge horror fans, and we love sex. So why not combine the two? The sex connection to fear is a topic I’ve been wanting to cover on my podcast. The subject runs deep, and there’s a major psychological connection to horror and arousal, something that’s always fascinated me.

Another reason we went this route is that my husband — a filmmaker, videographer, director, and a much more knowledgeable film buff than I — loves classic horror. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is his favorite book. And The Bride of Frankenstein is his favorite classic horror film.

So, this seemed the natural choice. And thanks to Emma Austin’s podcast episode on horror porn, I was inspired to see if an adult Frankenstein film was a thing. With a little search help from fellow podcaster Jake Austin, I found out that indeed, such a film exists!

It’s not actually horror though. It’s a comedy. But it’s delightful. And filmed in black and white, which is just so fitting. I’m by no means an expert of the genre, but I get the feeling that an adult film in black and white is a rare thing.

As little as I know about porn, I do know that I’m a fan of the actor who plays Dr. Frankenstein, James Deen. The woman playing his wife also does a lovely job, and the Monster knocks it out of the park.

I also love the clever jokes along the way, and the reason the Monster is built in the first place: because Dr. Frankenstien and his wife, upon making love, have stumbled upon the concept of double penetration. Now, the doctor needs to create another man to help him make this vision a reality.

His wife is completely on board with this plan.

A sexy movie marathon

The hubs and I actually didn’t get down and dirty while we watched Fuckenstein. I think we were too enthralled with the novelty of it.

We’re both actors, and we like to get caught up in the technical aspects: the script, the talent, and little distractions like when the director is off-screen, probably instructing the male actor to move the hair off his scene partner's face so we can get a clear shot of her expression as she climaxes.

But our second flick of the night, a horror porn called Within, definitely inspired us to get each other off.

I actually liked this one a lot. I loved the story, the set, the acting. It just had more of an authentic feel to it, and it actually does get quite creepy, which excited me.

The incredibly long girl-on-girl scene also did a lot to get me going. It’s no question how arousing it is for me to see a woman pleasuring another woman. I know I love men, but I’ve had an amazing sexual experience with my best friend — and the idea of exploring my attraction to women, even more, has been on my mind a lot lately.

Within has a little bit of everything, including a super creepy (and super hot) guy who joins the action, and a horror twist ending. I definitely get the sex and horror thing — and so does my husband.

By the end of this one, we were both really, really revved up and ready to go.

Performing our own scene

After Within ended, we let something play in the background while we got down to business. (It was a female student seducing/blackmailing her male teacher into sex — which is one of my go-to fantasies, only in mine, the male teacher would be seducing me, the student.)

We had fun on the living room floor in front of the TV. At first, I spent a good amount of time going down on him, sucking and licking his cock as I massaged his thighs and balls.

I alternated from using my hand on him to taking him into my mouth as deeply as I could and sucking hard, the way he likes it.

He stopped me when I was about to make him come though because he knew I wanted to be fucked.

I rode on top of him while he played with my breasts, grinding my clit on his pelvic bone at just the right angle. He came inside me within minutes.

Side note: I assure you, he usually goes for longer, but we were both already almost there after taking in the show and touching/teasing each other all night.

I didn’t mind the short ride though, because then it was my turn to lie back and relax while he worshipped me.

My husband is wildly talented at the art of going down on a woman. I honestly don’t think my tongue could withstand the amount of movement he is capable of, and for the prolonged amount of time.

His tongue mercilessly flicked my clit as he fingered me gently.

He used to violently finger-bang me at this point, which felt almost like being stabbed in my insides, but I’ve since shown him, by guiding his hand and communicating, how I like more of a gentle two-finger massage.

I think he translated the fact that I like being fucked hard into the idea that I like being fingered hard, but fingers and cocks are two very different things with very different feels to them. A little finger-banging goes a long way, let’s say.

And I ended up doing exactly what he did — which was come hard in record time. I was already so stimulated, so turned-on. Every lick and touch and kiss to my pussy was incredibly intense.

We were both completely satisfied and enjoyed the cinematic experience. And it’s something we’ll likely do again.

If we can’t join kinky events with real-life couples during the pandemic, we’ll explore more and more new ways to entertain ourselves at home in the meantime.
