Perfect Porn : Those scenes

Another in my occasional series about Porn I Like (tm).

Just now, I saw a comment on a porn scene I was thinking of watching. "Honestly this scene is kinda depressing, she looks miserable and not having fun. Which may work for some but I find a lot of the best porn scenes -at least for me- are where they get into it."

I'll say a bit about that at the end of this post, but for now, let's look at a type of scene where the performer IS into it - specifically the first two minutes of a gang/blow bang.

Carter Cruise making friends

Smiles. Delight! Surprise!

I don't especially like gang/blowbangs. I don't seek them out. They often obscure the performers face. That whole DP thing leaves me cold, and so often the producer/director seems to feel that just getting a bunch of guys makes the scene special and exciting enough that they can just run through some positions and finish with bukkake. There are exceptions of course but usually it's not worth it. 

But, maybe half the time, the scene will start with something like this.

Leah Gotti. Smiles all the way through her seminal GB scene.

To be honest, if the whole scene was just forty minutes of this, I'd prefer it. Just to be clear, the girl being into it, is absolutely key here. Some GB/BB are dark and nasty and there's room for that as an acted-out  fantasy but when the performer is really excited it's special. 

What I like here is that 'Oooh lovely, lotsa guys!" look. Being touched, being fondled, being pawed at, the anticipation of what is to come. Looking around, smiling, inviting, losing track of the hands caressing and grabbing. Clothes being pulled aside, boobs exposed. Tottering slightly on high heels as the hands pull this way and that. Smiles. Delight! Surprise!

"Touching with hands is the neglected stepchild of porn "

Porn is a fantasy and this one, being the centre of the lustful intentions of a group of men is a particularly primal, powerful one.  It's animalistic. It's decadent. It's peak slutty. And this part, the build-up and anticipation is the best part. More than the best, the multiple guys at the same time shots that feature so much in gangbangs are usually pretty lame. In contrast, the performer, smiling and delighted at all the attention and lust is great to watch. Touching with hands is the neglected stepchild of porn but it's the one of best parts of actual sex. Touching and being touched is the whole thing really. 

Of course, these scenes end all too quickly. The clothes are removed and she's pushed to her knees, often less than a minute since the start. Ideally, this caressing and feeling would continue for a lot longer. Maybe she could sit or lie down and face the camera while hands roam over her body.  Different positions - sitting, lying standing. And of course, why stop there - when the BJ or sex begins, hands could still be roaming, feeling, caressing. That never happens. JulesJordan's blowbang scenes sometimes do a bit of that but it's always at the same time as the performer is having a vibrator used on her very aggressively and she's totally consumed with that. What I'm looking for is her reaction to being felt up, and her sharing that with the viewer. 

Some studios of course, do some kind of story setup. The sports reporter in the changing room, the wedding scene, the frat party. But once the action starts, in all but exceptional films,  all that is dumped on the floor along with her clothes.

Kali Roses. Theres some setup here, but in five more seconds, this is over.

How about a fistfight?

What I'd love to see is a more competitive scene. The base nature of the gangbang is that it is a competition between males to cover a female. Could a scene lean into that more? Would it be exciting to see, one of the men, grab the star all to himself and hold off his rivals while he fucks her, followed by the next in the pecking order? How about a fistfight breaking out before or during the action? Some of the best scenes almost get there where the female performer is pulled between two men. Often though, those are the most degrading scenes towards the star and they don't have to be. They could fight over her without demeaning her. How cool would that be?

So in my ideal scene, we have a fabulously dressed star. She's a modern-day princess, let's say, Mafia-boss daughter, or a movie star. She wants to get pregnant and she's invited the best of her elite bodyguard to her chambers. She demands attention. Hesitantly at first, they touch her, caress her as she commands, and she loves it. It gets more heated. She  sits and poses. She offers herself to the one who can win a wrestling contest. While they pair off (we'd montage this) the others who are waiting to have their turn wrestling, stay, on her command, caressing and touching her while she relaxes on a divan. We see her get more and more excited as the competitors wrestle, watching their oiled bodies strain and compete for her. Again, we're montaging this. Men getting hit, competing. Hands caressing her soft body. Her smiles, eyes sparkling. A punch connects. Blood and sweat spray. Her chest heaving. 

Carter getting into it. If only this went on for longer.

A winner is declared, but before he can claim his prize a real fight breaks out. Fists fly. No holds barred. The winner is deposed and the princess spreads her legs for the new victoe. He's bloodied and bruised. Though she lets him penetrate her, she demands more touching from her  other suitors and says the next one to claim her pussy will need to win her like her current lover. More fighting, only now it's going on even as she's being fucked. Through all this she looks turned on and sultry and powerful. Montage all the way to multiple creampies from increasingly battered lovers. She is triumphant at the end, swirling her finger in her oozing pussy, while her exhausted, battered lovers worship at her feet. Close on her smiling face.

Now THAT would be a gangbang. 

Miserable and not having fun.

Unsurprisingly porn is having a MeToo eruption. It's always been there. That worrying pain at the back of your mind. Is she really happy doing this? Has she been coerced? Is she okay with _that_, even if she was happy with the scene at the start?

Even if you don't think porn is always degrading and immoral in itself, everyone is aware that there are huge problems. More than enough pornstars and former pornstars have spoken out. You would imagine that major studios are reputable enough to ensure that the stars, that are the absolute most important people in their industry, are well cared for and protected. But no. Even if you keep away from the seedier end of the spectrum (and how does that help, really?) you become complicit in ever more disturbing, non consensual and exploitative abuse. 

Sometimes that worry then turns out to have been an 'I told you so' and you find that you've been enjoying and masturbating over a scene where the female performer had not agreed to what was happening to her. Making you just as bad as the abuser. Going back and deleting scenes from your hard drive isn't any response at all. Not buying further from studios or producers who abused seems pretty pathetic. 

The obvious answer from many people would be 'stop consuming porn you sick fuck'. But that's not going to happen, and given that many performers do enjoy their work and give a lot of pleasure by it, it seems that we ought to be able to make porn a safe and well-paid job for those who want to do it. 

If you want to consume ethically produced porn where nobody was exploited, best practices were followed and the performer was paid and retains control of how it's sold, is there a way? I think there has to be. I know there are a small number of female-run sex-positive studios but they're tiny. Surely best practices should be the industry standard. Porn is like nuclear power. Great, but prone to terrible abuse and appalling consequences for individuals. Given the totally obvious dangers of exploitation surely the whole industry should be more tightly regulated than any other. Just ensuring your performers are STD free and over 18 seems like a laughably low standard. 

One solution that seems possible is to put all production power in the hands of the performers. OnlyFans and similar sites seem to offer that, but it's going a very weird way. It seems terribly overpriced for what most performers put out and when I look at some of that content, Miserable and Not Having Fun seems like a better description than happy and empowered. 

What I'd love to see is some kind of performers union which has the power to inspect and shut down studios if they break a strict code of conduct. A kind of independent performer run licensing authority. Sure, not all producers would be bound by it, but if it was widespread in Europe and the US then at least consumers could choose an ethical producer. Maybe that's pathetic, but when I see performers say that they were coerced or disrespected, or even cheated out of proper payment, I feel like the bar is so low on studios that it barely exists. 

PMV : Adria Rae Raw Something Evil.

 I've wanted to a PMV for Orbital's 'Satan' for a long time. I made starts but nothing that grabbed me enough to finish them.  Then I thought of doing one with the BlackedRaw series and picking best bits from various performers' sessions. I used a Mask overlay of a goat-head pentagram to 'Satan' it up a bit and then added some cuckold caption stuff. But over time, I found I preferred this particular Adria Rae threesome video best so I deleted everything else and doubled down on the captions.

Making captions more interesting than an endless smash of text is hard but I just moved them around, making use of the sameyness of the 'Being their ...' and 'I want to be ...' which then made me think of this.
There's a bit in 'Lost', the early 2000's TV show where there's a flippy-card countdown which reaches zero and then goes below zero into weird alien hieroglyphs, and I decideed to copy that effect.
Which meant downloading loads of weird fonts, which then don't denter on the same line and jump around, which was very fiddly.

But when I added that I liked it a lot and I kept at it until I was done. I don't think I've ever gone from start to finish of a PMV faster.

Adria Rae is great. She has an innocent look that makes these aggressive scenes all the better and this BlackedRaw features a lot of angles and positions I really like. (It could only be better if she were wearing some pantyhose).
She also looks at the camera a lot, which for these cuckold type scenes is essential. She really captures that 'Oh my God, can you believe what a slut I am?" look perfectly.

I dont like BlackedRaw much. It's too dark, most of the models are too skinny and they strip off way too fast. But darkly lit scenes like these make a strobe effect even better. I hope I didn't go overboard with it.

She also does an amazing anal creampie at the end - has there ever been a better one?

Adria Rae is an incredible performer. I think she takes porn to a level that we don't often see. As usual, for me it's not a question of her looks. It's more her looks. She looks at the camera with such raw emotion that you just can't help but feel empathy.

I think, to get a bit noodly here, that porn is totally different to other acting. The performer's partner is really the viewer. To be effecting, they have to draw the viewer in to their experience and Adria does that incredibly well in this scene.

Anyway, I'm really pleased with this one, despite it being quite simple really. Which probably means nobody else will like it, but I'm just doing these for me. And Adria.

PMV : Jolee Love Gangbang Superstar

Jolee  Love

Jolee Love is German. German porn stars seem to come in just two flavours. Wildly uninhibited cam models who have sex with someone who may or may not be their brother. And Bukkake specialists who seem to have been raised in a Spartan sex cult to be the vanguard of a depraved army of Teutonic gang-bang sluts.

Jolee love holds the of rank major general in that second cohort. She's done a lot of work with Legal Porno which do a series of man-train type gang-bang videos - 7 to 10 guys doing one girl, or sometimes two.
Many people say these videos are very samey - same outfits, sets, poses - everything and that's true, but Jolee does them so well that she elevates the whole setup to another level.

One of the thing she doess, is what's called a spitroast, standing. She's quite tall, and inevitably wearing towering pornstar platforms, so she thrusts one leg out and bends her other knee. I love this pose. Naturally she has one hand reaching for a cock as well as her busy mouth while she's getting pounded, but she also tends to lean on, or hold on to one of the many men so as to keep steady. I also love this, especially as she's usually giving a smoldering look to the camera at the same time.

She's one of those performers who knows where the camera is and she's never so gooned out that she doesn't know when to catch it's eye, sometimes peeping out from a forest of thrusting cocks to wink at the viewer.
LegalPorno gave her at least half a dozen opportunities to showcase these skills. She and her director make the most of the setup in ways I really like. First-off she's usually in an outfit that she can keep wearing at least some of while she's being manhandled and fucked. Then she usually makes a good show of the set-up. Even with ten guys she makes sure to give each a little attention in the run up, giving the camera lots of excited, "I can't believe I'm so lucky." side-eye all the while. In one of her videos she checks out her man-train while walking up stairs past them, and then they pack up on her at the top.  In another, she slides around on her knees, giving each a short blowjob while winking at the camera. In another she grinds on each one in turn, their cocks between her legs. So, samey yes, but also imaginative and blisteringly hot.
She'll often follow that with a lot of group fondling and her clothes being at least partially removed by her men. I really like the fondling. Dozens of hands reaching out to caress and slap and tug at her. Once again, lots of grinning side-eye while she's pulled around and manhandled.
Then, we're either into her sinking to her knees for some blowbang or she'll do her signature, leg-outstretched spitroast, one arm flailing for a cock. Often, there's a train forming to do her doggy while others switch in and out for her mouth.
Unfortunately we then move on to the main event which is her either on her back or all fours being DPd. Legal Porno sells these videos on DP, DAP and all that but it's the least interesting part for me. She's too obscured. You get more shots of flabby man-ass than her and since they're now in front of her you get very little eye-action. And of course, these scenes constitute much of the movie so I'm often skipping past all that to scenes I prefer.
Those may include Jolee being led by a leash or her hair from one part of the set to another - fantastic. Or sometimes they'll move her to a wall to do a man-train on her with her face pushed against it. Lots of eye action in those.
Naturally there's bukkake at the end. There's only so  many ways for a bunch of guys to dump their loads in her face, and while I like that, one scene is much like another. The only variation there is just how many they can manage to spurt on her at the same time - usually not many.
She's done other porn too, including a good scene with . Evil Angel but her multiple guy videos are her . stand-out MVP area.

As you might guess, I've spent a lot of time with Jolee as I make a PMV of her. It's not finished. As sometimes happens, I got to the end of the song, but didn't want to cut anything I'd done, but I still hadn't got to the finish, so I spliced another two minutes of the same song onto the end and ketp going, but now it feels disjointed - not the music, I just veered off in a kind of chronological direction and I need to bring it back, and I'm still not really near the cumshot ending. Plus, I started adding some PrincessAmiAudio clips to it, and adding a bunch of titles, but they're only in the second half. I should have split it into two versions. Oh well, It'll all come together eventually.
Here's a clip from near the middle.
