Nobody is stopping GFF or B. Skow from making movies and shooting scenes that capture the essence of their successful series, with a slow buildup toward what we would call more realistic intimacy rather than the artificial style we often see these days, with over-the-top dialogue and exaggerated or unnatural sounds. They have every opportunity to avoid becoming Girlsway Part 2. They can develop their own identity again-that's exactly what AllHerLuv is doing by establishing its own identity. I'm not saying GFF should become like AllHerLuv either, because I personally don't enjoy their scenes. You like Mike Quasar because of his passion for shooting GG scenes and focusing on extended foreplay, right? So why can't GFF provide something similar? Especially when their own back cover specifically mentions a certain amount of "realistic sex." If that's what they're promising, I think it's reasonable for audiences to expect that element to actually be a significant part of their productions now as well also.
^and^^ I wasn't trying to say that audiences simply bought something because it had "Women Seeking Women" or "Twisted Passions" in the title, or that Viv Thomas was successful because viewers were satisfied with seeing the same thing repeated forever. I agree that Viv Thomas clearly experimented with different concepts, presentation, and filmmaking, and that's actually a good example of what I'm talking about: the industry could take a familiar format and still find ways to make individual releases feel different.
My point was more about the overall viewing experience and business model of that era. Even when the concept, setting, or storyline changed, there was usually a certain simplicity and accessibility to the production. You didn't necessarily need an elaborate plot or a completely revolutionary concept for a release to work. A different combination of performers, a different scenario, a different atmosphere, or simply a slightly different approach could be enough.
The crux of the matter is that the basic premise of a series was usually already established. When Mother-Daughter Exchange Club was being released, we already knew the basic concept each volume would follow. The same applies to Net Skirts, Road Queen, Cheer Squad Sleepovers, and Twisted Passions-even if the individual stories, performers, and circumstances changed. With Twisted Passions, for example, you already knew the general type of scenario you were going to get from the series and its recurring formula, which was based around the Lamoyne Hotel. That doesn't mean every volume was identical; it means the audience already knew the basic framework before watching it.
And I definitely don't think being part of a series automatically guaranteed success. There were probably plenty of volumes that people ignored despite having a familiar name. But the existence of extremely long-running series like WSW and others still shows that these formulas had considerable longevity. The interesting question for me is not, "Did people watch it only because it was WSW?" but rather, "How did a series survive for so many volumes while still giving audiences enough reason to come back?"
So I wouldn't necessarily say the old era was "simple = good" and the modern era is "complicated = bad." It's more that the old market seemed to give filmmakers more room to develop their own identity, while the modern subscription market seems to create stronger pressure to produce content that fits established audience expectations and current trends.
Maybe that's also why Mike's work stands out to me. If I'm enjoying his productions, it's not simply because they're part of a particular series or studio. It's because there is a recognizable style and an attempt to do something differently within the format-sometimes even through relatively simple scenes, but with good pairings, genuine chemistry, and excellent camera positioning. For me, those things can make a familiar concept feel much more memorable.
So I still stand by my original conclusion: I think the DVD era was the peak not because everything was simple or repetitive, but because there was a better balance between familiar formulas and genuine experimentation. That's the balance I feel is increasingly difficult to find now.
And that's also why I think people still mention directors like Dan and Nica Noelle and continue to watch classic GFF movies and sweetheartvideo movies. It's not merely nostalgia or the fact that those movies were part of a particular era. Some of them were genuinely excellent in terms of direction, chemistry, presentation, and overall execution, and therefore have much more rewatch value for me than something like Straight Girls or much of what Girlsway is offering today.
The crux of the matter, for me, is that the Girlsway website gradually changed the industry, and this generation arguably seems to have embraced that style. That's the main reason I feel GFF has also lost a big part of its original essence. And, to be fair, AllHerLuv is also providing somewhat similar content now, along with SheSeducedMe.com
You're absolutely right! Nothing and nobody but themselves or management. Even if we assume Daniel is right that the best era of porn was [before streaming], we can still believe that they can make great scenes. For a for few weeks and months, here in ADT forums, there have been several discussions about why it isn't happening. The explanations and proposed causes: from poor talent (acting and performance), bad direction, lack of a decent script, or simply going through the motions to the end of shoot. I don't have enough knowledge of this to understand how difficult that might be to accomplish. Do we think it's easier to start something new, AllHerLuv-esque, and maybe alienate some fans of x-series that consume the #nth volume.
^Thanks for agreeing, but seriously, one thing this industry and most probably GFF Productions has done to me, as a huge fan of their previous era, is alienate me from X-series that used to consume the nth volume and somehow look like realistic movies back then. Compared to what I'm getting now, everything just feels so unnatural that I genuinely want to build a time machine, go back to that era, kidnap the same performers and somehow drag Dan back into the director's chair too. Because apparently, "make it feel like a movie" was a revolutionary concept that we lost somewhere along the way.
Every time I click a lesbian porn video and watch someone who is not an actor and probably hasn't even discovered what she likes sexually yet say some banal, mind-numbingly retarded, algorithm-based lines, because almost everything in porn has to be about some dumbfuck's script of the day, an angel dies.
Apparently, Jenna Jameson got married again. Any other female pornstars known to be married/significantly connected to women? It would be interesting to look back on older content and see if there were signs.
^ These days almost every scene is the same formula, a lack of creativity, and has mediocre build-up.
^^ I know exactly what you mean, because it's the same with me for all of their x-series. The sad fact is I've hardly looked at one since way back, CSS, MDEC, WSW, (probably Twisted and Psychodramas are virtually impossible to produce these conservative days)
And the last couple that were suggested somewhere here gave me no reason to reverse that course and venture further. It appears all gone from GFF to create such feature film-esque things, or even suggest a flow from one scene to the next.
Is it too much of a problem getting a specific performer back. I need to refamiliarise myself with some films because sometimes it appears one or more performers are in a film throughout, even though not having sex, but at other times it could be just the suggestion. "Secret Lesbian Diaries" (Girlfriends Films, 2012) I seem to recall Penny Pax virtually being in the entire thing. "Straight Girls" (Girlsway, 2026) did focus from the perspective of Ophelia Fae
But then again there are more ways to suggest a connection or have it appear as an entirety.
"Please Make Me Lesbian 13" (Girlfriends Films, 2017). Lucie Cline and Alana Cruise are outside a house discussing a guy called "Dick". Inside the house Corinna Blake and Eva Long are also talking about him, they have sex (scene 1). Scene 2: Lucie Cline and Alana Cruise have sex. Scene 3: Erin Grey and India Summer; Scene 4: Kendall Kaden and Katie Morgan Final scene: Erin Grey, India Summer, Kendall Kaden, and Katie Morgan are waiting to confront "Dick" He arrives... film ends with all four calling out "Diiiick" Too difficult?! Non-repeatable?! Not as good the second, third time?
Looking through my information: "MILF Stories" (Viv Thomas-MetArt, 2017) Scene 1: Performer1 and Performer2 (Jun 24) Scene 2: Performer1 and Performer3 (Jul 15 [+21 days]) Scene 3: Performer4 and Performer2 (Aug 5 [+21 days]) Scene 4: Performer1 and Performer4 (Aug 26 [+21 days])
Performer3 is the only one used once. Performer1 used three times, is that what makes it the feature film?

I think I rest my case, Your Honour. 😂 For me, the best period for enjoying lesbian porn was the DVD era. I still rewatch those videos now, and subjectively, I believe that time was the best. But I have to say, as GG scenes fan, I try to appreciate some scenes today as well. Anyway, these constructive debates can never end. I hope fans will subscribe Allherluv website to watch the Movie "The Help" it was a nice movie involving 4 performers with simplistic storytelling along with focus on sex scenes. If anyone wants to read my latest review featuring Octavia Red and Kell Fire, they can check out the following link: The Help Part 4 Review
^You've done two-part reviews of The Help, and you also mentioned something about The Help Part 3, but you didn't mention anything about Part 1. Also, in your review, you mentioned that this could be the final part of the movie, but you said it concluded with a kissing sequence. Don't you think there could be a Help Part 5 after that? I feel Part 5 might actually bring the whole story to an ending, with all the performers from the movie appearing, along with a sex scene pairing Sawyer Cassidy and Kell Fire or it might include a foursome scene
