As a reader and writer of m/m smut and the occasional viewer of gay porn, I find the written word to be far more erotic than photos or films of men having sex. The pictures I can conjour in my head when I read are so much better than anything I've seen in a porno. Most of the other writers (with whom I have watched and discussed gay porn) seem to have come to the same conclusion. Where's the passion, the urgency and the "grrrr!" that make a good smutfic hot? Maybe it's a girl thing, but I'll stick with the slash sites, thanks.
I absolutely agree.
I was in the smut/fetish business myself for many years, and I far prefer m/m naughtiness to any other kind.
The written word really does carry the heaviest erotic charge for me. On the page it's an art form, on the screen it loses some of it's magic (although a decently produced costume m/m smutfest has it's undeniable charms).
