Though life may imitate art, it seems there is a much greater (literal) desire for it to imitate porn instead.


Along those lines, earlier this week, Redditor cheerful_sharky took to the social platform with a noble inquiry surrounding the great American pastime of getting off to random people f**king on the internet: Where does porn diverge from its sometimes awkward real-life source material?


“What’s one thing that porn always gets wrong?” they mused in a post to r/AskReddit that has since garnered more than 5,300 upvotes.  


Alongside several comments joking about the innate weirdness often involved with getting it on — “Nobody is ever stopping to pull a hair out of their mouth,” joked shitsun4, and “That once you enter a washing machine, there no turning back,” added WrittenOnYaKitten — to BetterMaintenance367, the function of vaginal anatomy has regularly served as a porno plot hole. “Cute girl has NINE orgasms via only penetration and no foreplay or other stimulation, she even probably came while she was sucking his dick,” they wrote.




Beyond the awkwardness of the sex itself, some users debated the plausibility of porn plots, noting that despite our collective horniness, doing the dirty has somehow not become synonymous with “hello,” “goodbye” and “thank you” in our non-porn universe. “Whenever I go to fix the plumbing at my hot milf neighbor’s house, she just says thank you, and motions me out the door… without as much as a hand job!” joked Jack_In_Black89.



The porn sets, too, also proved questionable at moments, with some Redditors musing about the infinitely pristine settings seen on their really-small screens. “The cleanliness of the house it starts in,” commented u/Poops_McClanahan. “Never seen a porn star railed next to a pile of clean laundry everybody’s too lazy to fold and put away.”


“There’s some real irony in the fact that porn portrays women who will unhesitatingly suck a dick that’s been inside her ass, but who is also so obsessive-compulsive that she keeps an absolutely spotless house all the time,” commented u/Bizarre_Protuberance.
