Flutterby™! : different porn

Hey, over at Pursed Lips, Debra's getting back into the posting habit! Welcome back! Today she writes Sukebu Otaku: The Aging of Porn, Visibly So., which references The New York Times: The Greying of Naughty, which had this quote:

The market for beautiful, airbrushed young women “is oversaturated,” he says. “This is more normal people, more meat on the bone, like what you have at home.”

Which I thought was interesting because it seems like so many producers who've tried to make a go of porn with "normal people" have failed. Columbine talked about this a few weeks ago in More Fun with Smut, which looked at the tremendous sameness of modern porn performers, and in the comments I posited that there's a "mainstream porn fetish".

I don't know that I have a conclusion here, just that different people are saying tremendously different things about the porn market, and I'm not sure who's right, or what those different things say about the culture at large.
