The erotic potential of gif porn.
A single pink manicured fingernail rests on the base of an erect penis. A few inches to the right, a wet pink tongue makes a perfect O around its head. Again. And again and again. For as long as you want it to. This isn’t the world’s lengthiest blow job: It’s a three-second video playing on loop – also known as a GIF.
I discovered GIF porn the same way I’ve discovered a lot of porn recently: someone sent it to me. It’s not as weird as it sounds; I’m actually writing a book on pornography, and one of the wonderful unintended consequences is that people send me their favourite stuff. With this, though, I had my doubts. A short looped video did not sound like prime masturbatory material, mainly because three-seconds-to-orgasm is not a thing – not for women anyway.
In any case, I persevered. And soon discovered that GIF porn, like all porn, caters to a variety of human desires and requires you to search until you find what works for you. Google ‘dominatrix GIF porn’, for example, and you’ll find tons of URLs featuring leather-clad, whip-wielding women riding atop their partners and running the show. A search for ‘softcore black and white GIF’ takes you to looping erotica in monochrome.
