You don't like it in real life, but in porn you do

[RapeU]

What's something that you don't normally like in real life but when it comes to porn it turns you on?

For me this is needles. I can't stand seeing a needle go into my skin or a family member's skin. But when it comes to porn, watching needles go in is hot. Especially if it's the breast.

It's an interesting topic. I'm not sure whether I'd like to observe certain things that excite me in writing happen in real life, but I'd run away from quite a few of them! As for practising them myself -- let's say I'm flying in the vanilla sky. My characters are way, way more into anal sex than I am.

Shower sex -- hot on the page/screen, but all I'm thinking about is not slipping. Sex in a public place... yeah, no, not anymore.

Cosplay.

Cosplay can be quite stimulating to view.
In real life, however, I do NOT wish to be double-teamed by Batman and Robin.

Furthermore, cosplay looks like it requires more effort than I am willing to put forth.

I‘m fully with you on that point. The porn that I enjoy has a lot more in common with the stories I write. In my personal sex life vanilla is what I crave.

I often use magic to change how things work, so that the sex can be intense and still not injure anyone or be painful, I hate pain a lot irl, as I am in constant pain, but some of my characters enjoy it as it is not permanent for them.

So in real life I am much more for gentle vanilla things, though if I had portals and magic to fix the injury and pain thing and disease risk I would be as wild as my characters, or almost so.

Tldr: Pain, injurury, permanent changes. No. Pleasurable things yes

Maybe that is deviating a bit from original question

I'm putting shower sex at the top of the list. It looks cool on screen, but after the first couple times, showering with someone else sucks. Sure I get to play with some boobies and hoo-ha, but I'm freezing my ass off in the back end of the shower waiting for her to rinse her hair out. And as soon as I get under the showerhead, I've got maybe 30 seconds to clean off and warm up before the "I'm cold, let's switch" comes out.

Clearly you need a better shower with multiple showerheads hitting from all sides, inside a glass cubicle that makes it nice and cosy tight but not too tight also keeps it warm from steam from shower even if you dodge the water.
