As readers of Altporn.net, we wanted to know how you feel about the crossover of fetish and altporn as genres? There are certainly models that do work in both areas. Some of the top alt-models are also very well known fetish models, frequently appearing on sites like rubber dollies, hogtied, water bondage, wired pussy, sex and submission, whipped ass, and our pick for just plain crazy weirdness fucking machines, just to name a few. But it seems like these worlds are sometimes kept fairly seperate.
Do you think it’s too much? Do you draw a line between the two, or is it just another creative exploration of wild transgressive sexuality?
I don’t mind it, so long as they are genuinely cool people. I kinda feel like the altporn genre is in many respects defined by the people making it and participating in the production of it’s media. I don’t think fetish is across the board ‘altporn’ but I do think that if it’s being done with (and/or done by) stylish rockin’ cool enough people, it’s certainly something altporn fans would be into seeing.
Rubber dollies for looks like a good example of a cross between an alt-porn site and a fetish site. While it is a latex fetish site many of the models appear to be “alternative” (have dreads, colored hair, etc.) which isn’t the norm for fetish models. The other sites listed there have more “average” looking women so I really wouldn’t consider them alt-porn. So in that respect I do agree with Forrest that alt-porn is in a way defined by the people making it. Personally I like when fetish elements are used in alt-porn, but thats probably just because my favorite type of photography is fetish photography.
I agree with Leila, I love when fetish mixes with altporn (though it’s pretty rare when it mixes, most-not all- stick to a certain “mold” as far as content). Then again, I have a thing for photos that are in the fetish (and not fetih fasion) genre, and It’s always a nice to see it blended with some alt sites.
I did fetish modeling just as I was getting started into sites, so I pretty much like the tied up, bound, gagged, etc, fetish work mixed in for something a little different. I think incorporating fetish and altporn would make a site stand out alot more.
I’m rambling. Time for bed. Hope that wasn’t TOO incoherant.
I don’t like how altporn is sometimes seen as a fetish to begin with.
People doing entirely vanilla porn are often labelled “fetish” just because they happen to be alt-looking.
I guess you could say I’m tired of being a novelty.
