Question regarding porn

Unread post by Saltyboi »

So I know that porn is quite inaccurate in terms of things like ejaculations, squirting… stuff like that (I'm sure you know what i mean)


Im just thinking, Is it even humanly possible for a man to ejaculate with the same force / distance as seen in porn? Once again i know that porn is nothing like irl sex and stuff but im just wondering (God i feel gross even asking this smh)

Hi Saltyboi,

Without seeing exactly what you're referring to it's hard to answer that, since ejaculation doesn't look the exact same in every porn video. If it's a real penis, it's humanly possible - this doesn't mean it's the most common or typical. Perhaps some actors exaggerate, or do a lot of pelvic floor exercises to strengthen those muscles, but generally it's real ejaculation.

There’s actually a lot of fake or amplified ejaculation in mainstream porn.

We have a great two-part series here (don’t forget to search the main site for answers!) you might appreciate, saltyboi: https://www.scarleteen.com/read/culture/bare-bodies

Yea thats what I’ve been thinking, I was always aware that alot of porn was most likely faked and was completely unrealistic compared to real life

Hey there Saltyboi,

I was wanted to chime in here and say that your question isn't "stupid". Many of us have that the same "but how do they do that?" question in our heads when watching porn.

Understandable! Just remember that no one here will judge an honest question.
