Praise for Background Porn (and Recommendations)

Sometimes what is on the screen is not the main event. I have TV shows I like to put on “in the background,” while I do something else like play on my phone. The same is true for porn: there is a time and a place for videos and films that are best enjoyed not with rapt attention but in the background.

For me, these consumables are about vibe setting. For example, say I know I’m horny and I want to play, but I’m not totally aroused yet. Or maybe I am tired. I don’t want to put on a film I actually want to see. I don’t want to put on a film with a serious plot either, or one that requires following along. I want one that is going to arouse me, and that I can engage with as I please as my arousal develops. These films get me in the mood.

Once in the mood, I love to be eaten out while I am watching someone receive the same. The combined physical and visual sensations can be overwhelming! Same goes for all the sex acts. The sounds of others fills the room, the distracted mind has somewhere to go, it creates a sort of conversation between the lovemaking and the art. Que bueno!

Recently we watched a couple films that I found to be A+ options to set the vibe when I know I want to play. What makes them great? 1) The music: the music is enjoyable, sexy, and good music for sexing. 2) The scenes themselves are hot. 3) The plot is very rudimentary, if any. There are obviously LOTS of films and videos that could meet this criteria, so let me know your favorites in the comments section. I’m just going to list a couple to get us started. Adult DVD Empire may be a good option for streaming, or I recommend using bing (safe search off) to find other providers.

1. Afternoon Delights (1981)

The music in this film is so darn catchy we were singing it for days after. Great vibe, good fun, this film involves vignettes of women who are horny during the afternoon and go to great lengths to get their fix. You’ll see, if you’re watching, a mfm with construction workers, a dentist office fantasy, a public gangbang, a secret dominatrix, and an innocent wife’s first porno and double penetration. Most of these naughty women get involved with more than one partner (threesomes, double blow jobs, group sex). Real breezy, while the music lead plays some heavy xylophone, drums and guitar. Director Shaun Costello (sometimes called Warren Evans) really cares about the sound/music and it shows in all his films, including number 3, below!

2. I Like to Watch (1982)

The lighting in this film is gorgeous. Hazy, dreamlike, only possible on film. The music matches the tone. I felt so relaxed, almost sleepy, in the nicest way. This arousing film is about voyeurs, ever scene depicting someone watching sex acts either secretly or with endorsement from the fucking couple. Lots of sensual oral, lots of cunnilingus, gentle sex and lots of girl-girl. Lisa De Leeuw brings her pillowy tits and acting perfection to the scene once again, this film is ultra-pleasurable to fuck to, and you won’t feel bad about missing anything. Speaking of those pillowy tits, here’s a sneak peek.

3. My Mistress Electra (1983)

Mistress Electra is a bit of a prude at home, refusing to even look at sexy magazines with her partner. Outraged when he presents them to her, she won’t even let him open them. Why? Because she is in them. She is a star herself, a dominatrix. Her husband discovers her secret after seeing her in a film, and it’s all good fun as he tries to catch her in the act. Lots of sexy blowjobs in this one, and if you like BDSM, they say this is one of the best from the era. Excellent music too, of course. Thank you, Sean/Warren, for another banger.

4. Champagne Orgy (1978)

This list wouldn’t be complete without at least one Troy Benny / Carlos Tobalina film, and Champagne Orgy fits the bill perfectly. People sometimes say Troy Benny’s films are lazy, because he just gets a bunch of sexy people together and films an orgy, but how can I be mad at that?! Plus, after having attended more than one orgy, it’s not as easy as it seems to set a vibe like this. If you like watching group sex, you will not be disappointed, and, indeed, there is no plot to speak of. Por ejemplo:
