It pretty much comes down to communication and chemistry with your partners(s). Sex is natural and should always be a fun experience. Sex may only be impactful to some through a personal/mental connection. It's also OK to enjoy sex through straight up lust for whatever turns you on. Unfortunately, the excitement may wan over the years with your partner(s) too as it becomes routine and runs low inevitably (aka Dead Bedrooms, but that's a different topic). Porn also isn't necessarily the origination for most of the moves/positions/kinks/fetishes you see either. This stuff goes back hundreds of years ago (Kama Sutra). Although, I'm not sure if DAP/TAP/etc. was done back then, but wouldn't really be surprised if there are some documented instances of it. I wouldn't doubt if Julius Caesar might have been at orgies to where they did TAP lol
House MD - I agree with ya. I also get slightly annoyed to when people say porn is strictly fake. If anything, it's both fake and real. The setup (consent/preparations/warmup/planning) behind the scenes/makeup/script/angles/etc. is all done to give the viewer a final product that is ultimately staged. The fucking is still real in the sense that an erect (most of the time) is still going into the orifices of an attractive woman that is naked.
So when I view porn, I'm mostly looking at a scene primarily due to it involving an attractive woman who is not only getting naked - but fucking as well. As far as the scene setup and premise goes, it's up to the viewer on whether the "Fantasy" is something they can temporarily believe. The fucking is still real (although not entirely truthful either). The orgasms, body language, vocal expressions, and chemistry during a scene is going to be hit or miss. You'll have people faking it (some really well), while some may be legit.
It still boggles my mind porn isn't as transparent as it can be after all these years. You'll see the measurements for women detailed straight down to numerical precision (vagina type, breast size, height, weight, etc.). For men, you rarely see the true measurements of height, weight, or the girth/length of their penis. You can only rely on estimated (non-measured) personal accounts during an interview or from trying to gauge the length of a model's hands/fingers/thumbs and trying to calculate it from there lol. Even staged scenes to where they are measuring a penis is inaccurate as the focus is just to show "Wow, a huge cock!" - Even if it might truly only be 7.5 inches long instead of 12 inches. I believe it does in a way contribute to unhealthy anxiety that some men may have about penis size and correlating it with pleasure. Topics and discussion that involve how to be a better sexual partner, stamina, intensity, etc. usually are an afterthought.
The other issue is the enhancements for stamina and erections, including drugs/medication (desensitizers for anal, etc.). Porn would benefit from not hiding these details straight up. Some people might be a tad shocked temporarily, but they'll go back to enjoying Porn as usual. I'm not saying all participants use them either, but when the majority of guys don't have a refractory/cooldown period - you know something is up. Especially if you see the guy chilling on the couch for more than a few minutes with no stimulation or after he busted his nut and is still walking around with a full erection just chilling. It's worth a shot to view the "BTS/Behind the Scenes' scenes if you can, you will see glimpses of how porn truly is. A lot more goes into the angles and setup than you realize. They ultimately are still fucking for real, but building up to it takes a lot of effort.
I went off on a tangent, but to answer the OPs question - I don't personally use Porn as a benchmark with my sex life, doing so would set up some impossible to meet standards and expectations (including disappointments). By unrealistic standards - I mean that while there are women who will take a facial, your chances of finding a partner who likes that won't be 100%. An example would be that the women I have met in my life just don't want the extra cleanup that is required (especially if it gets in their hair lol) or hate facials due to prior experiences of it hitting their eyes and as a result, irritating it. At the same time, my friend's GF has no problems with facials. Your mileage will vary. Same goes for any kink/fetish you may have. It ultimately comes down to whether you both have the same libido and are willing to experiment. The best sex will happen when you both talk about it and get to practice/experiment with it. One of the best feelings in the world is finding out what you and your partner like. At the same time, you both will find out what you both don't like either too which could be a buzz killer. It's possible to have the sex (position wise and some scenarios) you see in Porn with your partner(s), but remember - it ultimately comes down to respecting boundaries, sexual chemistry, and being open minded. I agree with you, I'd love to try out most of the stuff in my imagination or those seen in Porn - but unfortunately it takes at least two to tango (your partner). It just comes down to whether they are up for it or not. It goes both ways too btw. I find it hot when my partner will tell me what gets her horny or what she wants to try. At the same time, there will be some things I don't want to try. There will be some things that does nothing for me, but I'll do it for her pleasure.
If you are in a committed relationship, the best you can hope for is communication/respect and open-mindedness. While sex may be important, it isn't solely the foundation of a long-term relationship (especially as you get older, priorities start to change). If it is, you'll need to see what you truly want and whether you are happy. If there are limitations on what you and your partner are doing in bed and it's a deal breaker, it's time to evaluate your relationship.
For those not in a committed relationship, it's a tad easier with all of these hookup apps out there. It's a lot easier (somewhat) to find people down to fuck. You can also discuss your fantasies, interests, and limits. Worst case, if the hookup sucked or wasn't what you imagined - move on to the next one. In my opinion, sex is typically better with someone you can make some connection with over time. One night stands require both of you to be truly in sync for it to be really good sex.
Hell, you could even go to a legit escort service and schedule some time with one of your favorite models (more of them escort than most realize). There are communities out there dedicated to this, including personal reviews.
