Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I've never understood why this theme became so popular in porn. But also, it's porn. If you're watching it for the plot, you should probably be watching something else.
But obviously, this is more about banning something than actually an issue with the porn. Oiling up that slippery slope.
I think a lot of it is because it makes writing really easy. You don't need to come up with a reason for these two people to be near each other in an intimate setting, which they can easily turn into something more sexual. Not many people are watching for the plot, so they just need a bare bones contrivance for it taking place.
You never quit beating your meat mid-fap because the plot was just so captivating?
There was one that really stuck with me. This poor homeowner needed a plumber but she had no cash. It was a harrowing story of love and loss, and the climax was stunning.
Did she end up getting her pipes cleaned?
Checked, cleaned, and re-caulked.
Hey, that lamp is really nice...where can I buy it?
I think because in order to product the kink you need to set a ground base for story. A lot of people just want some sort of story instead of just straight into it.
I think incest / 'stepcest' stuff is largely popular because:
I have to say though, from back in my porn watching days, i couldn't stand the weird production quality in all the step-incest stuff. And the compulsion to pair up performers who have a big age gap, or to make performers look like teenagers, is disturbing. I doubt these things have changed.
It's funny to imagine that the government might have a porn-Tsar who is just banning all the stuff they personally consider shite. Should have been me.
Porn-Tsar is my new favorite word.
A new role for Neil Parish I think
There's sex with some level of plot, and there's plot with some level of sex. It depends on which goal is greater for that movie or book. There is also a variety of degrees of porn plot, from bad to decent (with still the goal of being porn, but far more believable).
Are not-step-siblings still okay? Short of being admitted in the script, how does one know the relations? I guess the same validation as when the actress says she's 18, right?
Families have inherent relationships built that can be nodded at without much conversation being necessary. Basically porn with plot without requiring as much plot.
because actual parental incest would fire up America's family values.
Don't look too closely at family trees in the Bible Belt.
There is a specific group that is in control of most of the porn websites. Lets just say they are super into it. For reasons.
