Food Porn... Sex For The Taste Buds?
Before me personally.... i had no clue as to what food porn really is, until i found this video on youtube that to me represents, food porn, even though it was in a different language. Besides the beginning of the video and a few parts of the video, it manly focuses on food. Every cutscene of a different food gets a collective "AHHH!" or "OOOOH!". From the dipping of, whatever it is being cooked, to the representation of the plater. At a few points the facial expressions of people were shown which added to this "food porn" mind frame, i would say. One man was seen shaking his head and licking his lips as if he was starved or had just scene the most voluptuous female in his entire life. There was almost little to no kind of commentary besides the crowds aw of amazement and these repetitive scenes of food and facial expressions. After seeing this though I'm pretty shocked as to how food can affect certain people. There is some type of love or fascination for food that seems to attract people to it i would assume. Which leaves me to ask is food more than just a substance that balances out our natural need to eat or is it something more? Is food really just sex for the taste buds?

Do you think some people really get this much pleasure out of food or do they exaggerate things and make it seem like they do?
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned how a man was licking his lips at the food being shown, have you ever done that when you saw some kind of food that looked good?
ReplyDelete@vaughn When it comes to things such as advertisement or shows a lot of times things like this are usually over exaggerated to get that much ratings or have that much more affect on pple
ReplyDelete@Kimmy i honestly have never licked my lips but i have smelled a dish and thought mmm that smells really good
