I would like to start watching porn with my girlfriend but I am not sure how to start doing this. Can you give me some pointers on this and maybe recommend a movie or two that would work? I am pretty sure she won't be offended but I could use some suggestions on how to get this going.

Thanks,
RA

RA, well first of all, may I congratulate you on your ability to communicate with your girlfriend. Many people can learn from you. Now then, may I suggest to bring a little romantic mystery into the situation. Pick a night when you don't have prior commitments the next day, maybe a Friday or Saturday. Then let her know you are planning a "special evening". Girls love romance. During the next few days note her reaction to the soft porn shows on HBO and Showtime. If it seems like something she is interested in, then you’re in.

Go to the video store and pick some films that are great eye candy and have a plot. Don't go for the wall to wall or gonzo porn (they may be too much too soon). For this night with your girl, I can recommend anything by Candida Royalle or Nina Hartley, and they both direct for a company named Adam & Eve and they are widely distributed through out the US.

Good luck, and don't forget the ambiance. Try scented candles, some wine, and a gift of sexy lingerie may be the right touch.

Love, Dr. Mitch
