Different angles are essential including genitals but if shown at a middle distance it is more erotic as if being seen by a voyeur .Extreme gynecological closeups grow old quickly but to see lust and ecstasy in faces is great and moaning/dirty talk (within reason)is also a turn on a well shot silent scene can be disappointing

think the Japanese porn that is censored would be great if not censored. Because censored they have good plots, angles, show face full body hummer, bondage, etc.

I like to see both. Shots of female faces in orgasmic extremis are always lovely.

sorry I like to look at the sexy action,the face is nice,however the sex part is porn and that is fun part.thanks

I agree to a certain extent. If the couple has a photographer then I would expect a wide range of shots.

But I prefer amatuer porn to commercial porn and often these couples are reunning the camera and trying to fuck at the same time. So I have gotten used to seeing the same shot over and over.

I have seen many videos where they film and use both close-up, mid-range and whole body recordings and mix them up just to make an 8 minute seen seem like it lasted 20 minutes. the soundtrack is the same, and is what really clues you in. i have also seen a few in which they replay the money shot from 2 angles and through in a slow-mo replay, seeminly just to extend the length of the scene.

well if you just showed the faces all the time it would be softcore, we need to see some of the in & out and some of the less sexy angles to remind us of the important thing - its real fucking

I couldnt agree more,I did want to say more but you all seem to have covered it.

Being a retired phoitographer i feel that its not action that one want to see but emocion the escasy on the womens face when she haw her orgasm, the look of desperation the way her lips quiver how her nipples standup how her toes curl the muscles of her legs how they tremble when she gets that really hard and wet orgasm and this is just the lady the guys are very interesting we you see the muscles on there necks really get tight and you can see the sweat running off there chests well you get the idea it's not just the pumpng in and out of her pussy that makes the seen it all the rest. you got me going thanks

I don't know...I think I have to agree. Although being a fan of erotica I like close ups on the females and see what I like to call 'a nice looking pussy with stockings' etc etc which is very pleasing to my eyes. I DON'T want to see 'man ass' and generally more professional companies like Vivid video shoot them well enough to please me. If I get to much man time I just go elsewhere...but close ups can and are still a nice addition...BUT you are right...the length of watching is starting to go to long...though I think in some instances they are being photographed for pics..you can hear someone taking pictures..and maybe they just need the extra footage? That's why the blowjob last forever too.

agree

Agreed, and it really underscores the lack of imagination in contemporary adult films. Even more glaring, perhaps, and it sounds cliche as hell, is the lack of erotic storytelling. For me, the most exciting aspect of the visual in adult films is how two people, or even better a group of people, fall into the circumstances of uninhibited sex.

Other than that singular issue, I've turned almost entirely to amateur because the industry has become so tired. And, I'm so very glad to see the new interest in natural tits, emphatically so. Just like the fake breasts of virtually every starlett of the 90s began to turn me off, so to have the tattoos, pieces of metal jabbed into one's tongue/navel, and the odd fascination of drinking semen from a cup... 'course, that's just my very personal opinion.

Anywho, I'm glad to see you're on the B-side of the feminist coin about pornography, like me. The issue is one of the more interesting academic arguments, I think -- that is, those who despise it as it objectifies women versus those who argue that the empowerment of choice and freedom is exactly what feminism promotes. I've found that where one's opinion on the matter lies depends on their level of feminism.

Oh, and also glad that I read your profile because I woulda swore that Pennebaker/Maysles Brothers made Woodstock.
