  • Why did Marie Luv and Jada Fire crossover soo big? 5/22/2012 7:43:42 PM
    Jada has a huge personality that got her noticed, and of course did the nasty just like the white girls. Marie was one of the most flat out beautiful women in porn, and when she discovered she liked ass sex, got hired by almost everyone. It also didn't hurt that they were consummate professionals on set, and that there were more videos being made with the "other interracial". They both still had to work twice as hard to get half as far as their caucasian counterparts. Marie's reticence about doing women may have cost her some work, but really didn't have too much bearing on her popularity.
  • Why is West Coast Productions one sided with IR ? 5/18/2012 12:33:18 PM
    ^ They are a black owned company that has provided porn for a mostly black audience for many years. There was a brief experiment with Stefano and Brandon Iron that was very short lived, and the inclusion of white male performers is a new wrinkle. I'll not comment on the mores of their target audience and how that might affect the balance of what they produce, but from your vantage point, maybe your not getting a good read on everything they release. I mean Booty Talk is their most venerable series (possibly past 100 as we speak), and that's been mostly black on black. Anyway, I have to go on a road trip for a few days and won't be able to add anything more to this discussion.

    ^In the immortal words of Deep Throat: "Follow the money." Btw, Scaffinetti is an Erik Everhard associate and frequent cameraman. Imho, the best people to make these scenes are the guys who are more invested in it. That's why Stefano was so good. Mario Rossi was good as well. These days it seems like Mike Adriano has a taste for women of color, but for my tastes, the claustrophobic POV and medical instruments don't do it for me. Mike John has put out great scenes, although he's never devoted a series to it. Manuel also appreciates black women. Mark Wood has long been involved with the genre, even producing his own title, Black Market, with his Le' Wood imprint. These are the guys to look to for quality porn of this variety. WCP is...

    ^ WCP is a company that targets a mostly black male audience. That is not the market for this particular genre. The fact that they're dabbling in it now owes more to the fact that tough economic times find them trying to expand their audience, but they have to be careful not to alienate their core and lose credibility, possibly losing market share to other companies like Black Market and Evasive Angles, as well as JSP, or a possibly resurgent Black Ice. Hopefully they'll be successful and continue to do more, but historically this has not been the case, or we wouldn't be talking about it now, as we have so many times before.

    ^ This genre has always been produced sporadically at best. Even the Whiteboy Stomp series has only produced 19 volumes in 12 years. Not very prolific, if you ask me. I don't remember any Acid Rain titles, but New Sensations had a good series with Dippin' Chocolate, and they didn't continue it. Mercenary had a couple of volumes of White Man's Revenge, and that's gone nowhere. Alexander DeVoe toyed with the concept in Black Ass Master, but then made it more homogenous by using both black and white male performers. The best stuff was always produced by Mike Stefano, most notably with Feeling Black, but he doesn't direct anymore, and is happy to enjoy the booty other directors throw at him. WCP hasn't done more than a couple of these over the ...
  • are parodies dead? 5/8/2012 8:03:25 PM
    Has anybody considered doing features without the formulaic sex that they all seem to follow? You know the drill: b/g, b/b/g, b/g/g/, g/g, and an anal scene. All running for roughly a half hour and using all the common positions, with a narrative that takes up about 15 minutes, tops. Making a blue movie where the sex fits the plot and runs as long or as short as would make sense under the circumstances. I suspect that the motivation for such a thing diminished when porn moved completely out of the movie theaters and into the privacy of people's homes, but it might be worth it to rejuvenate the genre, and without the lackluster, safe sex that's also prevalent. It can be rough at times. Even dirty. As long as it fits a coherent plot and taps ...
  • Are there Porn Stars who dont use Birth Control? 5/3/2012 7:28:22 PM
    ^ Here's the <link> . For what it's worth, there are a lot of men who can't keep sperm from mixing in with their pre cum. I would suggest that most guys in porn are not plagued by that particular problem if they're working with any regularity. This isn't significantly different from a woman's natural lube, which may or may not be followed by orgasm, but does make things very wet and sometimes pretty creamy. I don't believe there are very many women using abortion as birth control. It's a pretty traumatic experience no matter what side of Roe v Wade a person falls on. This entire topic is typical of how invasive these forums have become, and I won't be adding anything further.
  • Are there Porn Stars who dont use Birth Control? 5/3/2012 8:58:12 AM
    ^ You keep saying that pre cum can cause pregnancy, but it isn't the case. It's a lubricant. The reason people feel this is true is because it's often followed by a little bit of ejaculate, which of course can impregnate, but the pre cum itself cannot. If your contention was correct, there would be an epidemic of pregnancies in porn.
  • The rise and fall of Ideepthroat 5/1/2012 8:56:55 AM
    ^ Heather deep throated in every scene, hence the title ideepthroat, but the swallow of the first blast while deeply embedded, with the ensuing blasts at her open mouth is what people want to see more of. I just don't believe asking every performer to do this will result in good porn. It's just something that kind of has to happen on its own, but won't because directors are like Pavlov's dogs when it comes to shooting conventions, and everything has to show completely. Exaggerated open positioning. Shallow cream pies. Orchestrated cum shots. Ridiculous dialogue that repeats the video title over and over again. Cookie cutter. Cookie cutter. Cookie cutter.
  • The rise and fall of Ideepthroat 4/30/2012 4:58:24 PM
    Ignatz wrote: If porn producers hired an average looking girl like Heather, and made a series with her performing DT/swallow in every scene, they could sell 200,000 vids a year. That's the kind of thinking that has driven porn for years and makes it so stale. If you see something you like, duplicate it ad finitum, until what was once so exciting because of its uniqueness or spontaneity becomes another cookie cutter form. To my knowledge, she only did it the one time, and look how it resonates.
  • Julia Ann hooks up with Wesley Pipes 11/27/2011 9:30:10 PM
    Further, with regard to the rest of this topic, Julia Ann is a strong performer. If she wants him to shut up and fuck, that's exactly what would happen. My guess is that she wouldn't mind the verbal jousting and physical challenges. I doubt whether Julia works with anyone she doesn't want to.
  • Julia Ann hooks up with Wesley Pipes 11/27/2011 2:10:36 PM
    ^^^^ I would agree with most of the last four posts. Especially since his graduation from university, Pipes has been one of the stronger performers in the industry. He's also done good scenes for Belladonna, Monsters of Cock, and Blacks on Blondes. My only criticism is when he's part of a group and tends to talk more than he fucks, especially if Byron Long is in the mix. One on one and two on one, he's produced some very good performances from his female partner, and the patter is usually on point to what they're engaging in. How can so many people call an obnoxious loudmouth chatterbox like Ron Jeremy a legend, yet spew so much vitriol about Pipes.
  • Aurora Snow a ?pregnancy 11/25/2011 3:44:06 PM
    I've never seen a mark on Aurora outside of the stray handprint or two, and believe me, I've looked closely. I think she once made an offhand remark about her and Jay having to get home to their &quot;kid&quot;, which she later clarified as being their puppy. Make of it what you will, but I don't think she's ready to be officially classified as MILF.
  • RIP Lori Alexia 11/22/2011 9:50:53 AM
    I haven't located anything that would verify the one account of her death. Hope it's not so. She was really beautiful, and came off as super sweet when she was in the industry.
  • James Deen Article 11/19/2011 6:24:46 PM
    ^^ You seriously haven't seen him in any videos? I think there's a thread asking if there's anyone but him in recent porn. He was also AVN's Male Performer of the Year a couple of years ago. And I don't know what ripped guys you're seeing lately. They're all over the place in body types as far as I can see, from paunchy to fit, and I don't think there's any mandate that they represent the &quot;average guy (or you, as you put it)&quot;, although, obviously, there are viewers that would like it that way. I'm not amongst them, personally. I just want a guy who can get a woman motivated and put her on best display, whatever that takes, including talking and promoting some real chemistry.
