Female led relationships discussion

So out of maybe frustration, I gave in after thinking about it for a while and bought some FemDom video porn. It wasn’t cheap (by my standards) but I thought it would be entertaining. However, it was quite disappointing. I don’t know why though. It was very professionally produced and had all the elements of FemDom that I crave—CBT, facesitting, strap-on, and more—but it didn’t arouse me at all. Maybe because I knew it was all an act; the actors weren’t doing it because they live that lifestyle but because they were getting paid for it. The sub obviously wasn’t into it either way. So it was a wasted 30 pounds. In future, I’ll stick to Femdom literature which finds me so much more of a turn on. Does anyone else experience this let down?
