Licking my lips...fantasizing...the thoughts tantalizing my curiosity.
Give it to me!!! I want more. Have I attracted your interest yet?
One could confuse these thoughts and words being that of a
person lusting over food or some form of physical desire. But beyond all needs
and wants there in front of me is the very tempting and visually spectacular
photograph of a Chocolate Cake, far removed from that which one would possibly
consider or dream of preparing at home.
So
what is the connection between Food Porn and Real Porn?
Can
food images provoke as much satisfaction?
Firstly,
I see food porn as food presented in a way that one would show porn. I see food
porn as food given extraordinary focus in a visually interesting elaborate way
which causes you to fantasise or lust for it…just the same way you would view it
as if it were porn.
A
loaded subject, yes, whether you agree or not, food and sex have long been
linked together.
“You watch porn saying, yes, I could do that. You dream that
you’re there, but you know you couldn’t...That’s exactly the way the porn thing
works. The sex, of course, is impossible to replicate”.
Whether it is glossy photographs of food or food provoking
feelings of pleasure, food porn is eye candy!
Let’s face it…the term food porn is sexy, provides appeal
and gets you thinking.
