torture porn 

A catchy if not condescending term used to describe the genre of movies in which people are tortured and killed, like the Saw and Hostel series. The phrase of course implies that those who enjoy the movies have a fetish for such things and get their rocks off watching someone being tortured.

Unfortunately this completely ignores the strengths of these movies. Saw really does have an interesting philosophical aspect, really. The story is also pretty good. The guy above said Hostel actually is just plain ol' torture, I would agree there.

If you can get past the gore and extreme violence, the Saw series are actually a good tale and not just torture porn.

When someone continues to call you even after you tell them to stop calling. And they make any excuse to call or talk to you and all you want to do is pull out your hair because he/she is getting on your last nerves!

You promise not to torture phone me? Because if you don't bitch it's going down.

torture porn 

An expression referring to some modern horror/thriller films you have to have a moron level of 23 (on a scale of 1-5) to use anymore. For Christ's sake, it's 2009. "Torture porn" is a silly phrase meant to refer to some movies, like Hostel, a phrase which is as old and outdated by now as segregation laws.

You have to be either
A: A complete retard
B: A troll
C: A pissed off old guy
D: A film critic with a basketball hoop up his ass
to actually use this term. In fact, if you use this term, that invalidates any argument you may put forward.

In other words, get over it and bitch about something new.

WAAA!!! THAT'S TORTURE PORN!! I'M GONNA MOD DOWN YOUR COMMENT ON URBAN DICTIONARY!! WAAAA!!!
------------

Complete retard: "If you liked a movie like Hostel or Saw, you're a sadist or a psycho or something! The whole fanbase! I judge people without knowing them or having any frame of reference as to what the hell I'm talking about, they all just love torture porn because I saidz so!"

Smart person: "WOW! Did you spend all that time philsophizing and doing all that hard-hitting data research about the Saw/Hostel fanbases...up your ass, by some chance?"

Compelte retard: "You are the Antichrist!!!!"

Smart person: *facepalm*

Torture fluff 

This is a term for fictional stories that involve light torture or the threat of torture, but the character being (potentially) tortured is rescued and has a happy ending. The focus of the story is not on the torture itself, but rather on the emotions and relationships that the experience facilitates.

This term originated from fan fiction to distinguish these "fluffy" stories from more angst-filled "torture porn" stories.

Example of a description of a potential torture fluff story: "Well, you know, bad guys should be all 'Mwahaha, we're gonna do bad things to you, Remus!' And then maybe they do. But then Sirius rescues him. Or he escapes himself. Anyway, then they cuddle."
