Hello, let me start out by saying I have an odd relationship with pornography. I take extreme enjoyment from it, in more than just sexual ways. I enjoy the way people move, I love to watch intercourse play out, and I think society is way to harsh on people. I have a sort of libertarian, "personal freedoms first" type mindset, and I just wish people had better opportunities and encouragement to being able to have appropriate and proud sex.

I know all about ethical pornography, and it makes up some of my viewing. I like actual independent creators doing it in private and getting famous over big production companies like Brazzers and what-not. However, that isn't to say if I find a killer scene, I won't watch it.

Now, I have a friend. We watch pornography together, and he oddly looks up to me. He says I view erotica in this very deep way, and wants me to teach a class to him. I've considered it, and I think I'll do it.

Biggest issue for me is, a lot of this is half subjective. It's kinda like teaching art. I have a lot of beliefs, and I don't know how to start telling my friend my own beliefs in like a pseudo-academic style.

And yes, it really is what you think. I am legitimately putting together this pseudo curriculum that analyzes mostly amateur and homemade erotic scenes. PowerPoints presentations, and few edited videos, a quiz, short essay, the whole thing.

I'm a little scared about if what I am doing is acceptable, and if I'm doing it right. I have a pretty deep connection with the "tantalization" aspect of erotic and pornographic scenes, and often love to describe the things that pop out to me. I'm also looking for potential tips over what things I should discuss, bring up, and how to keep things academic and serious. All this is a bit esoteric and weird, and I'm a bit on edge about it.
