But when watching normal porn, I think part of the thrill for many/most people is knowing that what's happening is real.

Unless you understand real to just mean that actual humans were involved, describing porn as real seems to be a bit of a stretch more often than not.




I gave my audience a bit of credit there.

I am assuming that any adult reading this understands that professional porn is quite different from the sex most of us experience in our private lives in a number of major ways, both emotionally and physically.[1]

But anyway, yes. By "real" I mean "real human beings, having real sex."
