Why would they say 'Astro-porn' for music?
I'm kidding

Fairfax media (SMH, Age, BT) ran an article on "Real Estate Porn" the other day. And there are car-intensive movies commonly described by reviewers as "car porn", probably because they're full of good looking cars in improbable positions, with a distinct absence of plausible plot.

There is also 'Beer Porn' in the homebrewer circles, usually flashy brewing equipment and fonts/taps etc.

Watch this first video without subtitles on...but for an extra laugh
reload it and play it with captions/subtitles on.
Just make sure you don't have a mouthful of beer or chips because
you will have a mess to clean up.

And don't forget "disaster porn"! I usually see that one mentioned in relation to movies, such as that 2012 end of days one. Cracked me up the first time I saw it, but then I though "how apt!" Similar to having to have a look at a car crash, I suppose.
