What's with all the spitting?

What’s with all the spitting?
I was talking to a woman the other day about her use of porn movies as training films to awaken her to new things in the bedroom. So what have you learned, I said, ever curious. Well, spitting, my friend said. I do that a lot now. That’s hot.
Spitting, I said, somewhat incredulous. Spitting, to me, is nothing new. I first noticed it when I was reviewing adult films in the early ‘90’s, which is so Last Century. I suppose you could almost call spitting Old School. But this was a nice suburban lady I was talking to, and I realized she probably was new to watching porn, so spitting to her was unique and original. What she likes about it, she said, was that spitting on a cock, or having her vagina or rectum spat on seemed really dirty and nasty, nasty sex being her obsession. Her one question/problem to me was how did the porn performers manage to have so much spit. How do they have that much saliva? she asked.
I told my friend that a lot of the spit you see in a porn movie is like styled food. In other words, it’s not real, or it’s been enhanced by an artificial spit substance. That’s why spit on film it’s always so viscous and foamy, I added, knowing all the tricks of behind the scenes. I reminded her that spitting was not a romantic act; in fact, in some states, spitting is a crime. It’s considered a kind of assault, and not so long ago in Florida, a woman who spit on someone was even charged with a hate crime.
If it’s down and dirty sex you’re after, you can’t go wrong with spit. It’s aggressive. It’s assertive. And it’s the world’s cheapest lubricant. Don’t have enough natural saliva to make it work? So far no sex toy or aid manufacturer has marketed anything resembling artificial spit. And you do know silicone based lubes taste terrible and shouldn’t be put in your mouth! The solution is simple glycerin which can be purchased in any drugstore. Not only does glycerin have the added bonus of being a natural tooth cleaner, it also has an antibacterial potential. That makes using it a win-win. So spit away.
