What makes good porn?

Hi, its been a while since Ive seen a real discussion on here that we could all learn from as fans and as producers of high quality porn.
So what makes a good porn film?
I reckon its got to be good pacing, its no good when you just rush into the sex or the girls is aready naked at the start of the scene. The cast list should build well, how many times have you sen a ben dover film or an omar film where they shagged some gorgeous woman at the start and then left a minger for the finale and totally ruin your buzz!
Another thing is penetration shots, fair enough its dirty and to loo right at a spread asshole is cool, but for the whole film when the girl as an exceptional body or even just a pretty face or great tits, you need to show the bodies, not just the holes.
And when it comes to the cumshot, where do you think it should go, should they all be facials or all be over the ass?
I think youve got to find the best part of the girl and cum on that, if shes pretty its the face, big tits on the tits or a great ass... And so on...
That might make things a little bit routine but I think that you need to change the trends that are emerging otherwise porn is going to drag itself down. I for one watch porn with my girlfriend and although she likes the fact that there really is sex happening in front of you, its the constant penetration that puts her off. So for the sake of my sex life and for my own wanking purposes, lets figure out what the perfect porno would be like, directors, cast, actors, everything.
Then see if someone has the balls to make it...
Thanks

one thing you missed out is believability. the trouble is most porn directors miss it out too. 99% of all porn scenarios are cliched and poorly written/acted/directed etc. consider this: a well directed sex scene froma mainsteam hollywood film can be extremly erotic, sexually charged and arousing (for me anyway, but it's still many times softer than anything that could be considered porn. The way I see it the mainstream directors have got it harder; they've got to make you believe in the situation AND make you believe the character are actually having sex. if they can pull it off, there's no excuse for porn films. it's not about budgets it abouts imagination and talent.

To me, looks of the female cast are important but not the key to a really hot scene. The one key ingredient to make a scene really sizzle is that the female star should really let herself go and appear to enjoy the sex. If she loses control completely or seems to 'forget' that the camera is there all the better. I think its pretty obvious when the woman is faking orgasms and moaning for the sake of it, I don't understand why they do it, surely no-one falls for it?
One of my bugbears is over-editing, I like the scene to run as naturally as possible in real time.
I like a slow lead up the the sex, an interview with the girl or short storyline at the start. The initial penetration shot is important. It really annoys me when the scene cuts straight to the guy pumping away...All my favourite scenes feature at least two guys per girl - I love seeing a DP.
As for the quality of the cast, Anabolic just amaze me - where the hell do they find all those georgeous 18 year olds?
I prefer the cumshot on the face or internal for a nice creampie.
The film makers I prefer would be Ben Dover and Anabolic/ Diabolic. (Ben Dover is the only British film maker I've watched)

Well aside from beautiful women, for me it's the camera work.
Its subjective, but im not interested in storylines.
Unfortunately, in todays films most producers are very, very formulaic and importance is not stressed on creativity, differing angles or close ups.
One example are PRIVATE films. Yes, lovely girls and exotic locations but the camera work is very frustrating as it changes the angle every 10 seconds and you just cant focus, its almost like an annoying pop video. (Except Frank Thring productions)
Other examples are West Coast / Diabolic / Anabolic / etc.
This is where you have maybe 6/8 scenes of :-
1) Girl gives blowjob, male sitting down.
2) Girl continues blowjob with male now standing.
3) Male gives girl head
4) Various Vaginal penetration positions
5) Various anal penetration positions
6) Facial cum shot
ALL STANDARD ANGLES, END OF SCENE.
Then on to the next girl, the same, next girl, etc etc YAWN !
Okay maybe sometimes its two guys / two girls, but the routine is always the SAME. So we all just fast forward to the bits we like, dont we ?
I just think its a pity that someone NEW doesnt come up with
some different faces with good action, shot with great detail close up and experiment with unusual angles.
The only person who has done this successfully is MAX HARDCORE (I know he is abored) but he SHOULD recieve credit for the photography. After all, others, who are also creative, such as Rocco and John Stagliano have both previously sited Max Steiner as a major influence on their work.
I am not promoting Max, because generally he IS bad news, but he
DID revolutionalise modern (Gonzo) pornography.
Thats my two pennarth !

You forgot to mention that the women should have nice pubic hair
-a natural bush, trimmed if necessary, definitely NOT shaved.

I'll second that. But in my book trimming looks just as synthetic as a full shave and consequently is a major turn off. Nature knows best. It's had millions of years to get the recipe right.

I agree with all of the above and will say just one extra thing.
When your shooting a gorgeous girl i think eye contact to camera is as important as showing the cumshot,penetration etc.(especially when he's about to deliver a load)
I recently got hold of Bens 9th starring Michelle Wright(what a woman)and all i could think about while she was ontop of Mario
having an orgasm(according to Ben)was this scene would look so much better if i could see her gorgeous face while in ecstacy.
Comes back to the right angle at the right time
Bens one liners make up for all the little shortcomings.
Cheers

Ive got to say that that is very british of you to say that a big bush is better. I dont get it though, can you honestly say that from your point of view if you were the stud going down on a girl you would rather she had a big natural bush getting caught in your throat and ruining the feel of the pussy?
C'mon you know that you are down there for the flesh not the hair.
Personally i would like to see a bit more fake tits in UK porn, its still pretty rare over here and can look good. However big and real is cool too, you know Id be watching an Amanda white/Michelle thorne scene!
I think too many piercings can definitley ruin any girls look, the same goes for tattoos, but I think that the main issue is to make the shots wider and really show the girl, I once saw a film that had a scene with rocki roads in it. Now she has won the miss nude world pageant Im sure, and that is a great body no doubt, so why was it that as soon as she had finished sucking the guys dick the camera stayed with the penetration shot right through to the cumshot which was on the ass. You didnt even get to see any of her throughout the whole scene! Now that is whats wrong with porn today, but I take the point about believability though, because the sex does seem a lot hotter when you get it to look real.

1) Pretty Girls,18 - 25.
2) Spontaneity mixed with nerves and the possibility of the scene not being shot.
3) Show admiration of the girl's body, producing a drooling audience.
4) Show reluctance of girl to slip her knickers off.Help needs to be at hand.
5) Ensure sufficient confidence in girl so as she approaches oral and then intimacy she is wet and ready to accept male so full record is easily shot on film.
6) When 'A' is raised and accepted, ensure sphincter preparation is fully filmed along with initial insertion and facial discomfort.
7) Scene to be finished as naturally as possible with girl electing final resting place for jism.
The above is a tall order,paticularly with HIV testing so prevalent. However the spontanaity angle could be remedied with the use of condoms.
With this scenario, all the above is possible with a girl chatted up, hinted at the intent and in front of the camera nervous, admired, reluctant, excited and ready for a good seeing to.Her safety comes with the condom and this will enhance her performance as she relaxes into her new role as a film star.
She can then return to satisfy other needs, but this will do for me!
