Try this: open a category page of a porn site. Close your eyes and click as arbitrary as possible. If you are less than eight out of ten times rejected by what you see, i don't wanna be your partner. I'm quite sure we both don't want that anyway, but you know what i mean. The world is absolutely krank! I thought i was rotten to the core... it's the opposite - i play in the spongebob leage.
Perhaps my reasoning process regarding porn is different, but the end result is fairly similar to what you've expressed.
When humans are attempting to procreate (what the English would likely term conjugal unpleasantness in public) they are vulnerable. What they're doing often looks ridiculous. Having lived on a farm, there is little if any difference between what people are doing versus what other animals are doing.
Porn simply takes procreation and / or any shared experience and exaggerates the act(s) in ways that become a lampoon or parody of a normal function. What makes it funny is how unnatural it is, normally without having the horrific undertones of a car or train wreck. Add in that unless someone craves attention (and / or money) some activities are meant to be done in private.
As a writer I attempt to elicit an intellectual and / or emotional response from my readers. My work has a storyline, a plot, and I hope characters that allow the reader to suspend disbelief at least momentarily. Erotica is something I don't do, though it normally has a storyline, a plot, and hopefully characters that allow the reader to suspend disbelief at least momentarily. Porn (something else I don't do) is all about the action with virtually no real plot or logical storyline, and as artificial as the characters are only disbelief is possible.
My tastes behind closed doors and curtains tends to be what the Wife and I agree on, and neither of us is into extremes. Love should never involve going to the ER to get stitches, unless childbirth is involved. But I also get where you're coming from.
And seriously, my chest was hurting from laughing earlier.
