I've noticed the quality of porn steadily decreasing lately. Quantity, however, is approaching infinity.

/ugliez need love, too

call me old school, but the 70s porn had actresses that could act, as today's robots that just show up and do whatever some guy with a couple of bucks asks her to do.

I'm not sure I agree with the headline's premise that directors, film crews, marketing specialists, etc from mainstream Hollywood can make better porn than the current porn industry.

AND......... you start getting more 8s thru 10s pole dancing at the strip clubs for your one dollar!

Little known fact: the acting centers of the brain are located in the pubic hair.

Sounds like you want to be alone there?

Today's porn actresses are dog shiat. Most resemble Starla. Some kind of barbed wire tattoos, too much time in the tanning bed, spitting, angrily talking to the junk of the male porn star. Disgusting. Luckily, we are in the perfect storm of internet and ubiquitous digital cameras.

I always wondered how these companies recruit?

Career Fair:
Recruiter: Hi, how are you?
Hot Blond: Oh fine, I am just looking around?
Recruiter: How would you like to fark for money?
Hot Blond: OMG! Yes. Where do I sign up?

/ or maybe they are all mormons tricked into the business
// Orgazmo FTW !

Who's watching for the *acting*?

Plus, those women were 1) too hairy, and 2) too ugly

Going through that slideshow for purely market research purposes, does it seem to anyone else like the number of copies sold on those movies look a little bit on the low side?

now now, gentlemen! what's wrong with maybe having both? you know, in the same frame. One shiny and slick (in more than one manner of speaking) and one a dense jungle with its musky prize past the beyond...

Knara: Plus, those women were 1) too hairy, and 2) too ugly

They were 1) normal, and 2) normal. They didn't have their tits enlarged, their lips enfattened, their faces paralyzed, their assholes bleached, their bodies waxed - the attraction for 70's porn, at least for me, was that they were, in fact, real women.

Lots of MILF porn as the oldies can't make ends meet.

Pentaxian 2009-11-22 08:10:13 PM  
I think the average adult movie quality has dropped since the 70's but the big budget movies made now are actually pretty good. And some of the XXX parodies are top notch. Or so I've been told.

 
jso2897 2009-11-22 08:13:27 PM

There's plenty of amateur porn with ugly/normal women for you to wank off to. If I want normal, I'll just get laid in real life.

Porn is about fantasy, that's why it features unusually attractive people doing unusually awesome things.

NuclearPenguins: Hell no! Japanese porn is still all about that, or so I've heard. It's horrible.

It's 2009, we're better than that now.


It used to be. The laws that encouraged that sort of huge bush thing are long gone, but some companies/directors still do it. It's fairly trivial to find properly shaved, non-mosaic'd Japanese porn these days.

 
van1ty 2009-11-22 08:17:02 PM  
for the guys who want bush, check out the european porn.

If you call scarred tits, puffer-fish lips, and pimply asses "unusually attractive," your fetish list is a bit odder than mine.

Well, sure, if you watch trashy porn, you're gonna get lower production values and less hot actors. Duh.

 
Toquinha 2009-11-22 09:58:50 PM  
FTFA: "Many adult film directors want to go into mainstream film (though they often find doors closed in their face when they try)."

The only name that I can think of is Gregory Dark, in terms of directors (and of course, we all know about Tracii Lords). Is there anyone else of note?

Let's just hope it never comes to that.

 
Fark Me To Tears [TotalFark] 2009-11-22 11:17:22 PM  
I'm just thrilled that we've finally got the whole creampie and swallowing thing figured out now. For a couple of decades, the money shot always had to be external. Now we have creampies, which is more of what sex is supposed to be about anyway. And the swallowing thing... If you're going to let the guy cum in your mouth, then for heaven's sake, swallow it. If you want to show it off or play with it first, great, but then swallow it. For too long, you'd see these women acting all "oh yeah, cum in my mouth" up until the moment that he actually came in her mouth. Then it was spit-it-out quick. Now, some pr0n makers have finally figured out that swallowing is okay, too.

I think the thing that makes pr0n much better than it used to be is the Interwebs. We get to see stuff from all over the world, both professionally made and amateur, and we're not stuck with the same three fake "actresses" with the fake hair, tits, and obligatory landing strip. I know some people here on Fark have their fetishes... Personally, I like my pr0n where the people are not quite so professional looking and the sex they're having is more like the sex that actually occurs in the real world. It's much better than watching some plastic bimbo doing her trademark O-face and the same "oh yeah, give it to me good, baby." It still amazes me to this day that anyone was ever into that crap to begin with. (yeah, I know -- a while ago that's all we had).

Can you imagine what it would be like if the Meese Commission had to so their pr0n study now, instead of during the Reagan administration? Can you imagine the presentation that would be made before Congress, discussing the effects that Ass-to-Mouth and Snowballing are having on our society?

Wow. I watch a bit of porn, but not nearly enough to have such well-developed opinions. Therefore, I'm a better person than you. Nyah!

/No, I'm not serious. We're all pretty much pigs.

 
trapped-in-CH 2009-11-22 11:38:38 PM  
prove it. the little bit of free pron on the interwebs is poor quality, IMHO. Doesn't make me want to shell out any $$ for it at all.

TheOmni: I'm not sure I agree with the headline's premise that directors, film crews, marketing specialists, etc from mainstream Hollywood can make better porn than the current porn industry.

i hope to god they can. I saw a thumbnail for one where a bald guy sticks his head all the way into the bajingo. Neck deep, baby! labia around the ears! I did not click that thumbnail. And how about the cum omlete one? not to mention the puke on my cock videos, public submission, CBT, boob abuse, animals??? Sick! not sexy. Although...the sleep attack ones make me LOL.

Someone mentioned the parodies, and as someone with a healthy sense of humor who likes to fark, those seem promising. Been dying to get my hands on the recent Star Trek parody.

I saw a video clip showing a guy doing this a few years back... Its fairly impressive actually, and worth watching. Its fascinating- like watching a magic show!

As for the rest... everyone has their kink. Somewhere, somehow, someone out there is even enjoying two girls one cup.

Well, it is wildly popular because it looks OK on smaller portable media players and takes up less disk space, so really, the supply is following demand.

Seriously, the best porn comes from chicks about to get evicted and desperate to make a buck, not from a "seasoned professional"
