The one at the end throwing up in the bush I couldn't help but roll my eyes at. Apart from the short haired one and the one from London the others are narrow minded and clueless |

Is it me or has C4 just dumbed down it's programmes? I genuinely don't see the point of the programme, I understand the issues but it's just a way of getting people to watch sex on their channel? Perhaps I'm too cynical? |

We literally know dozens of mum's that make porn including myself yet none of the ladies on the program reflect the real women (mums) in the industry.
They always get dregs & wannabes & portray them as the face of porn lol. |

"Ok I’m lost what have I missed out on "
A group of women are going to make a porn film. Hopefully to show 'normal' women having 'normal' sex rather than the current selection of porn that is mostly nasty against women. |

99% of amateur porn are real women/housewives having normal suck n fuck sex so it's not a new niche just a another fictional titillation series to shock the vanillas, the show is just too fabricated compared to real life. |

The show seemed a bit fake like one of the women says she watches porn all the time yet shocked when watching porn on a laptop with the other women. They want respectable porn yet when brainstorming ideas they want anal, blowjobs,lesbian and lots of men touching a woman. The type of porn available online is only what people are into if there is no interest then they don't make those types of porn. The thing about porn is it made more extravagant and extreme than real life sex to make it more exciting to compensate for only being able to watch sex instead of actually participating themselves. the real problem is teaching children that extreme porn is not the norm for sex. |

"Mind you, my wife has never intentionally watched porn in her life and has the same aversion to fluids "
I used to tell my husband I hated sex and porn. I did hate it- with him. |

"Shes the type to say not in my hair or my mouth or even on my face  "
Just like a lot of women, including me.
I was shocked at the extreme reaction to seeing porn from some of them and I think those reactions were genuine, not to cover up their use of it. |

It's a cynical way of using titalation to boost viewing figures. It's what tv channels have done for years. It's no different to things like Naked Attraction. |

I did giggle when the devout Christian was sitting watching porn on her own, I bet she went and bashed one out after, even the cat was gagging for it.
And I’m sorry but mum of six throwing up because of cum? She is either catholic or had sex just six times in her life to have that reaction to cum! She definitely looked like she could take a bashing with a dick or two!

Ridiculous programme, these middle class women thinking that they can make real erotica, with no clue, they then latch onto a pretentious porn film maker who claims to make realistic porn that females want to watch lol,
Yep 6 highly stylised ladies with body paint on, playing with glass dildos and each other in full lesbian action, not realistic just pretentious crap.

Blonde Sarah is coming across as very fake to me. It feels like she's put on her peronality as being even more brash than she is.
It's funny how they went from disgusted by porn to absolutely loving it.
It's also funny how they loved being on the expensive, high-budget set but disliked the lower budget bedroom porn.

Realistic sex eh?
So will we see moans of pain as your elbow ends up pulling at her hair as you lean on em for a bit of extra support?
Maybe we'll see the guy hopping round round the bedroom with a boner- swearing lots and saying 'hold on love, i've got the fucking cramp in my foot again!'
Maybe we can get a scene where one of them lets rip mid thrust, and they both finish the clip hyper-ventilating from laughing?
Or maybe we'll open on his amourous lusting shuffle across the bed, to be greeted by a well placed elbow and 'bugger off! i've got to be up early in the morning...go and have a wank!'
Real sex- its the way forward to put people off porn  |

They are, coz they're mums! Good idea as passionate porn is HOT however they should not forget about kink and close up - porn, not erotica  |

I'm very sceptical about this program but the kind of porn that they have discovered and how well it seems to be directed and the actors treated, at the end of the second episode was very impressive to me. |

Yes I'm not a fan of porn but isn't there a gap in the market for a different type? I think a lot of people on Fab have been so desensitised by extreme porn they feel the need to deride anything else |

"I think the large lady doesn't understand that the film can be edited"
She doesn't understand that film is not theatre. It's an odd thing trying to follow different camera angles and stay in the moment. They also haven't hired acting talent but performing talent. Conveying love in sex is difficult enough when the people involved are in love.
At least she's not puking.

"I think they all had very good points. Porn can be very sick and mostly degrades women. "
Absolutely this. Do we really want kids to believe that sex should be rough/hard/one way/wham bam etc etc.
How many young ladies out there think they have to behave in a certain way during sex. Or that sex should be about pleasuring blokes only.

We watched all three episodes, and thought it was a worthy effort with very real concerns. We felt that the finished film was pretty much what they had set out to make, even if it wasn't 'conventional porn'. Found it fascinating (but not surprising) what happened to the Christian mum, and had wondered if she would have been invited back at the end, or what she thought of the finished film. We enjoy lesbian porn - the viv thomas studio in particular - and that comes across as really sensual and consensual and sexy... we really felt with the first episode when they were 'researching' they should have been shown some viv thomas stuff, and that would have ticked most of their boxes !!! |

What really struck me was the emphasis on consent in the mums' film. And it made me think of the vast amount of abusive entitled messages men send on here, and the unsolicited touching in clubs, and made me realise where this attitude comes from - all that nasty aggressive porn flooding the market where the woman better bloody enjoy whatever the man's offering no matter how rough, unpleasurable and degrading |

I have just watched their 14 minute film 'I want foreplay' where you first have to verify you are over 18. I was impressed by the consensual safe sex message it conveyed and it ticked the boxes for having Afro_Caribbean, Asian and ample size actors. The 4 mums should be proud and with Erika Lust on board as mentor director Channel 4 did well. Henry |

I dont think we can blame the male populous completely here..
They are coniditioned from a very young age on gender inequalities. From girls play with dolls and boys building blocks. Girls and weaker boys are stronger etc. To the simple lack of education surrounding relationships, intimacy and understanding of each others sexual organs and how they work.
Parents have shurked responsibility teaching right and wrong, sex, relationships. 1 in 3 are divorced. Broken homes. Not the best teachings.
Young woman accept it from teenage years the leering and constantly objectified piece of meat mentality ..
Young men don't step in and tell their peers its wrong, when it clearly is..
Mass market porn does not help.
But I know it was my go to to learn things about sex when I was younger because nobody else taught you.
I am sure woman probably do the same.
Then Life lessons teach you better and thoses how expand away from the typical sheep mentality grow an understanding of these issues and try to be a better individual.
Unfortunately that is a very very small percentage.

While I absolutely agree that porn is far too easily available and often sending the wrong messages to young people , I don't think their film really hit the mark either. Sadly I think a lot of people watching it would be bored or worse left feeling like somehow some of the sex they want to have is shocking and shameful.

Well if the mums making porn is an example of ‘better education’ then god help us .
And considering this site has a huge population of women who regularly put pics of themselves in various states of undress and in sexually actively situations in order to attract men , and get fabs , it’s small wonder men leer at women and objectify them as a piece of meat !
But then , there are equally as many women objectifying men in the same way as they leer at them in unbuttoned shirts with a hint of boxer shorts and a few drops of sweat on their chest !
It’s simple , normal behaviour by both sexes , and ultimately it clearly is perfectly ok for most of us . And I can’t see the fuss to be honest .
Men and women enjoy porn , and anyone between the age of 18 - 99 will have seen and used porn in some way or another . The kind of porn they made is and always has been available , it’s simply isn’t popular . The vast majority of us know full well that most porn isn’t a true portrayal of a loving relationship between two people . It’s a fantasy world for most . Not all , as some are lucky enough to actually do so much that porn portrays , like us as an example . The stuff the mums made is just two people doing what we’ve been doing for 200,000 years . To call that porn is laughable , it isn’t . It’s two people making love , in a very contrived and manipulated way , and it’s so pc it’s  |

"So who’s watching?!

From what I've seen of that programme it looks like 40 minutes of thought provoking TV crammed into about 6 hours of air time.
One person's porn is another person's erotica.
So long as it's clear that all participants are of age and have given free consent to be video'd doing what they are doing, then carry on and best regards to you is my take on it |

They wanted to make porn where sex is more real than the stunning model types currently in porn getting fucked to within an inch of their lives.
With an emphasis on consent, as many people seem to think all women just need a fuck to sort them out.
As shown by some comments earlier in the thread. |

I watched it and was unimpressed. Now I don’t watch porn normally so don’t have much to judge by. But it was more erotic than anything else x |
