^ Just someone I talk too and I think it was more of an assumption just bc they said its been awhile since a scene last came out. I told them that We Like Girls has seasons and they shot 7 for season 3. So maybe they are just taking a break to possibly storing up for season 4. Thats at least what I think.
As for the state of G/G, I dont think its bad like everyone is saying. I think right now its unique circumstances that has made it be in tough spot. We are seeing either girls get under contract with Brazzers and Vixen which we know arent good sites for G/G content or they are focusing on their onlyfans. And with onlyfans its hard to book others to collab with and then some girls just rather do solos and live shows. So the studios thats producing good if not great G/G content when it comes to established good performers have very few to work with and we are also looking at alot of new fresh faces. The performers we can do nothing about. We can do something about the storytelling and series/features.
^^ I agree its not dead but I think it was at its best around 2009 till like 2018. Thats just a ballpark to me for the sweet spot. You can say maybe a little before 2009 but the pandemic hurt it so 2018 or 2019. I didnt like G/G in the 80s and 90s or even entering the 2000s. I would say the exception could be with some of the Abbywinters stuff early 2000s were good same with GFF but the real sweet spot for me was about 2009-2018 you had GFF, Abbywinters, and SHV all booming. Then the you had AHL and Girlsway starting to come along. Of course LesbianX. So you essentially had Dan with GFF, Abbywinters with Chloe B, Nica Nolle directing for SHV, and so much more between 2009-2018. Oh and I cant forget Girl Candy Films. So yeah that was the best time for G/G then.

And IFeelMyself, wherever that is located. IFM's quality is the best thing going, consequently, they don't shoot it often. They are at about a once-a-month rate on GG releases right now (one shoot split into multiple videos every two weeks), and that's an uptick. Probably a function of controlling costs and being selective to only shoot really willing participants. Wish we could get more from them.
I'll have to give GoW and Ersties another look. They have been leaning quite a bit gimmicky in recent years, so I haven't been subscribed.
For me id say from 2009-2014. between GFF abw Swv and girlcandyfilms GG porn was at its absolute peak. Great scene after great scene was being produced on a weekly basis.
For me, early Sweetheart Video was the best with the likes of Samantha Ryan, Elexis, plus you'd get babes like Lexi Belle and Allie Haze to pop in occasionally. I also liked some of the older performers, but I know some people don't. I despise the site now. Ever since the tradeoff to Dana Vespoli, we got more gonzo-ish scenes, and it's been all downhill for me.
Girlsway hasn't really changed. Hot performers, hit or miss scenes. Just checking the site, I'll watch the new scene with the lovely thicc Natasha Nice, plus there are a few in the upcoming section I'd be interested in.
GFF has also gone in the toilet since around 2020. Hard to believe only about 5-7 years ago you'd have a cast like this one from WSW 142:
Alexis Fawx, Reagan Foxx, Elsa Jean, Violet Starr, Karlee Grey, Ryan Ryans, Prinzzess, Summer Day
That's just one movie. The scenes were also kinda quantity over quality like most of the company's lifespan, but boy did they find the hottest chicks in the mid 2010s.
I know there's others like Allherluv, but I'm just sticking to what I think the big three are. So it's really:
2010ish - No Girlsway, okay GFF, best Sweetheart
2015-2018 - okay Girlsway, okay GFF with hotter performers, bad Sweetheart
I'll go with around 2010 as the best.

That early 2010s era, the ladies weren't so scared of pussy, and there was very sexual stuff across a number of sites, from We Live Together and GFF to Twistys, and the girls were going the extra mile to be all up in each other. The content looked like sex a good amount of time.
These days, you have to really really squint to imagine the people involved in the shoot are getting sexual gratification out of what they are doing. 9 out of 10 videos just look awkward, with the odd positioning; weird moaning -- often just yelling randomly like SLAYED; minimal kissing, practically ZERO breastplay, I could go on.
Oh, one more thing about GFF. I'm somewhat picky over liking new performers (new to me anyway), but just recently I've been digging Anna Claire Clouds, Lulu Chu, Kenzie Love, etc. A few years ago it was Lacy Lennon and Mary Moody. So I don't think the performers available overall have gotten worse, I think who they pick for scenes has. Here's the cast for Lesbian Seductions 77.
Tiffany Watson, Ella Reese, Aubree Valentine, Jackie Hoff, Hime Marie, Mina Luxx, August Skye, Skye Mae
I have no idea who the fuck half of them are, and the ones I do know, I don't like. I have ZERO interest in this movie.
On a positive note: I'm becoming increasingly impressed with Adulttime's 'Lez Be Bad' channel. I was mildly apprehensive with their first couple of updates, but they've really started to impress me. Strap-on play is clearly a significant focus of the channel, so I'm sure certain folks here won't care for it. But between Sinn Sage, Ariel X, Kira Noir, and Aiden Ashley, they've shown a willingness to bring in stars who know how to turn in a good scene. The updates are still a bit hit and miss, but I'm liking the trajectory of it.
A baker's dozen of lite, innocuous, ramblings for a lazy, hazy August morn. #mostly#harmless#shitstirring
#1) Every Jo/Eve Angel flick ever made: breakup, back together, breakup, back together, breakup, back together, breakup, back together...
#2) Every GFF flick ever made: 25-year-old woman wearing ridiculous high school cheerleader outfit is groped by geriatric real estate agent. The end.
#3) Every Hegre Arts' G/G massage ever made: new age muzak, fade in; new age muzak, back massage; new age muzak, front massage; new age muzak, fade out.
#4) Every Massage Rooms' G/G massage ever made: 21 seconds of actual massage, followed by 5 gallons of massage oil dumped over everything, followed by 9 minutes of awkward slip-n-slide while balancing on the massage table.
#5) Every Bree Mills' G/G flick ever made: Intro by Bree Mills bloviating about what a profoundly, important, visionary Bree Mills is. Models wearing 50 pounds of clown makeup cry copious (fake) tears of joy because they are finally paired-up in a scene. Quelle Surprise!!! Actually, they signed wavers for the scene weeks ago. Does Bree Mills hire her makeup artistes from Ringling Brothers?
#6) Every AHL flick ever made: Dark, shadowy cinematography that tries to convey how DEEP and IMPORTANT the flick is...but can't cover up the fact that the sex is cookie cutter, paint by numbers, production line G/G. Followed by outtakes that show just how choreographed, nano-managed, and over-directed the sex is.
#7) The storyboard for every Greg Lansky WLT scene ever made: Sex-sex-sex, shot of butthole A, sex-sex-sex, tongue in butthole A, sex-sex-sex, shot of butthole B, sex-sex-sex, tongue in butthole B...
#8) Every Mason Club59 GirlCrush flick ever made: Sun-bleached, white, faux Richard Neutra SoCal McMansion; white faux Mies-unt-Reich Barcelona chairs and white faux Barcelona ottomans AND, of course, white faux Mies-and-Reich Brno chairs. white faux-fur throw rugs; even more white faux Bauhaus furniture; a black (never played) babygrand stands out like a solitary sentry in the blinding whiteout; damn fine performances, for the most part. Celeste managed to reign in her OTT spazz for a very pleasant change of pace. Isobel Wren should have done much more G/G, alas. PSA: always wear sunglasses when watching GC.
#9...#9...#9) The one fugacious flash of interest in every VivThomas2.0 flick directed by Sandra Shine: Intro credits...hey look, it's Viv's old Budapest apartment...end credits.
#10) Dana Vespoli's thoughts while directing a G/G flick: Gotta tell 'em to stop kissing, I've got more than enuff footage of that. Gotta tell 'em to stop fingering, I've got more than enuff footage of that. Gotta tell 'em to stop with the porn licks, I've got more than enuff footage of that.
#11) StrapLez...that site is just hilarious. About as far removed from reality as one can get. Which is precisely why dudes like it so much.
#12) LESBEA-Lew: well into his second decade of cranking out quick, vapid, production line G/G. You have to admire the sheer dedication to blandness. Girlfriends.xxx and FemaleAgent G/G were the surprisingly watchable exceptions. So, of course, he KIA'd updates at Girlfriends.xxx and needlessly ruined FemaleAgent G/G by adding an obnoxious cameraman character for "comedic effect". #Picardfacepalm
#13) Every DDF G/G ever made: Nah, forget it. DDF is pure garbage. Can't even think of a lame joke about it.
Yeah, Bree Mills does seem to like sniffing her own farts when it comes to being some kind of visionary.
Dana's comment about "we have enough footage", which I think was in response to Elexis saying she'd like to do more with whomever she was paired with, is probably the low point for SHV. I forgot about that.
Maybe Elexis should have said she wanted to fuck the other girl with a 20 inch strapon, I'm sure Dana would have found time to shoot that.

All of these are deadly accurate, right between the eyes, and......I miss #7 and #8 so fucking much. So pure, unpretentious, nasty. There was more sexual content in 5 minutes of Lansky WLT and Club59 than in any two full products of the videos the companies are putting out today.
#5....technically, they do paperwork the day of, and often, they don't know what they are shooting or who they are working with until they show up to a set. The industry is so janky, ghetto, and stupid.
#7 I am completely okay with. Those WLT Lansky scenes are still to this day the best scenes I have in my collection. They never get boring and it was just straight out sex between drop dead gorgeous women. No cookie cutter crap and it stands the test of time. The occasional sprinkled in anal stuff I could live with because of the gold the rest of the scenes would have.
I agree with Lezzy that just 10 minutes of sex in one of those scenes is far superior to most of the stuff these days. Not to mention the stellar group of beautiful women. They all had such tasteful if any makeup, sexy simple outfits (bikini's, cute shorts etc) and most seemed to really be into it.
Another series which had similar but even more visceral gg sex were the kissme girl explicit scenes. For example one scene that comes to mind is the Vicki Chase and Charley Chase scene. There's really no crazy formula, just let two women who are into each other, go at it and film it.

^This! No secret formula besides two women who don't mind explicit sex with women being left to do stuff that feels good.
The other production junk (weird positions no one has sex in, sex on desks, horrifically stupid dialogue, etc) just gets in the way.
1. Late 80s into mid 90s You get the Bruce Seven Evil Angel g/g full movies combined with the Janine/Julia Ann/Jenna Jameson/Asia Carrera years at Vivid.
2. Roughly 05 to 13 Let's see, you get the prime Sophie Moone/Sandy period at VivThomas & 21stSextury. You get the days of stars like Tori Black & Alexis Texas working for Jay Sin. You get the Malena Morgan/Greg Lansky era at RK. Think this is the winner.
So I wont comment directly to all of that bc some of it I disagree with like the GFF and AHL statements.
I will say that the Dana statement when she started directing SHV it went in a bad direction. You can tell all the vid she directed and then when Nica came back for that one movie "A Mother's Secret" that movie was way better. It was night and day. I didnt know about that comment Elexis made to Dana but I definitely feel Elexis bc as a fan I wanted to see more. I felt that way after watching a scene with Aidra Fox and I think Gina Valentina. They were so into each other and you can tell they were going for more but the scene was ending. Then I found out that SHV had something in its contract where scenes couldnt go but for a certain amount of time. Crazy to think. Especially when its competitors like GFF can film 1hr+ scenes.
^ Gina Valentina and Aidra Fox had a few different scenes together. They def had chemistry. I like the scene here: https://www.adultdvdempire.com/1935675/girls-only-porn-videos.html that they did with each other.
It's a shame for the scene you're referring to that they'd be cut short when they are enjoying themselves. Something that really gets me frustrated when I notice it in scenes. Some directors are just concerned with fitting as many different position into a scene as possible instead of letting things flow naturally.
1 GFF was alot of really well connected storylines even some easter egg type of situations. Like for example, I was watching "Wet For Women 2" and scene 4 you saw Mindi, Scarlet, Prinzzess, and Lynn Vega all sitting at a table in what was the Lamonte Hotel bar that "Twisted Passions" series take place. You then see Georgia Jones all dressed up in a tux being the bartender. So like those series and things feel connected too me. Even thinking about other series that has different connections. The performers I loved off course. Anytime you can have the likes of Prinzzess, Scarlet, Heather, Shyla, Cherie, Georgia, Syren, Magdalene, Mindi, Elexis, Sinn, and so many more that has made for awesome pairings and hot scenes. The only downside and its a small one is that some potential amazing pairings were missed. Like Julia Ann and Elexis Monroe together. Elexis Monroe and Cherie DeVille. They teased a little in a Women Seeking Women episode where they I think they kissed on the couch but then Cherie went to bed with Aaliyah which was hot chemistry and Elexis went to bed with Samantha another hot chemistry. So anyone who criticize GFF back in the day you are on your own lol.
2 AHL I would say was an step above even GFF with their storytelling. Ill admit that I wasnt really into their stuff early on but just like GFF and even Abbywinters I wasnt into their stuff early on. It got better than as the time went on and I think G/G in general got better. I would say what got my attention to start being into AHL was that one scene with Kenna James and Serena Blair where I think it was Kenna confessing her love for Serena. Love the performance for both and the sex was so hot. Then I think about the scene with Shyla Jennings, Alison Rey, and Bree Daniels. I think it was a series called "The Bully". That was hot. But the best of them really came when series like "The Producer", "Written In The Stars", "Another Life" just to name a few started to come out. One thing about AHL is similar to GFF was they gave the best performers and the pairings made for alot of hot scenes. And for me the storylines did it bc they were top notch. Again a step above GFF in that aspect.
3 Abbywinters imo was just authentic. Everything I loved about G/G was little to no makeup, all natural with tits, bush, hairy in general. No script back then just sex and having fun. One in particular scene that stood out was Navah and Hayley F. One moment where Haley F made Navah cum so hard she said its the hardest she ever came. And you would think the scene was over. Nope. Hayley wanted more. She literally said she is always horny. So of course Navah gave her another orgasm before the scene officially ended. So its things like that which made Abbywinters stand apart. The girls were all of different styles. I loved Navah bc of her hairstyle. Plus I just thought overall she was really good. And of course I have a thing for Aussie and their accents. Oh and common theme is just like GFF and AHL the pairings were great. Felt like they paired alot of my favs from the site together. What also did it too was girls that are my favs shot for them too like Annabelle Lee and Alyssa Reece.
4 SHV back when Nica Noelle was shooting and then was the director things was awesome. As I pointed out in the other post you can tell the difference when Nica was the director from when Dana was the director. The storylines were epic and the sex was epic. To me those movies Nica shot even if they were short it didnt feel short bc they were of quality. And Ill lump Girl Candy Films in here too bc it was also shot by Nica. They had more films than what it felt like. I think that was really the end of Nica shooting around that time. If she wouldve kept shooting maybe Girl Candy Films wouldve went on longer. Ill just say that Nica did leave one last great scene. I talked about the movie she left "A Mother's Secret". She left one last great scene with Magdalene and Kasey Warner. Such an amazing scene as always with all parties involved. But yeah SHV was truly one of the best back then.
5 Girlsway when it first started I wasnt really into the "almost caught" scenes. I did appreciate them having Abella in alot of the scenes though. As time went on I really started to get into them more bc of seeing features like "Vampires", "Fantasy Factory Wastelands" just to name a few. I loved how they played off of those series and individual scenes with those features. Again just like GFF they made some of their content all feel connected. Then they did Girlsway Girl of the Month scenes and obviously now We Like Girls. I think what has happened with Bree is that she simply is doing too much. Yes I love the idea of AdultTime but when you got your hands on alot and I mean ALOT you can lose sight of what got to where you are today. I can appreciate quality more than quantity. And I feel like Bree is giving quantity which can be hit or miss more than quality.

Twistys is now doing Brazzers/Adulttime style Euro content, if any of you guys are into that.
Glad to see it. There was not enough wacky, fake-hyper GG sites already.
If I was signed up for Twistys, the dumb-looking reaction faces in the screencap would make me cancel immediately lol.
So I've been thinking since as of late good gg porn is harder to come by, I want to get more into the Japanese gg porn scene. I see that on adultdvdempire they seem to have a lot more Japanese porn added, does anyone know what is good and who are the big names in JAV gg?
Anything that approaches what we've seen in golden era WLT or GF Films?
I noticed the newer videos seem to have much more minimal censoring to the point where it's like, why have it at all?
I think the three key elements to understand the GG porn demise are these:
1- Production changes: In the past decade there was a big emphasis in producing more feature films and series while providing a great variety of scenes with different kinks, settings and ideas. Which has happened is that companies has abandoned these model of production and have reduced the number of scenes while producing less movies or series. It was something pretty palpable during the last years of the 2010s, but it was accelerated by the pandemic. Companies have their priorities and the most lucrative porn is BG, so all the money and resources have gone to this genre while GG porn is at minimum with sites just launching one or two scenes per week and even some of them have ceased their activity to the point that looks like they're going to close.
2- Declining talent: One of the big pillars of GG porn was the performers. The women weren't only beautiful and sexy, they were also talented and knew how to work in a lesbian scene. With the abundance of GG companies and sites, we saw a great number of actresses working as GG exclusive, which made the scenes even better, and there wasn't any problem if one actress retired, because there was another one to fill the spot. From retired stars like Malena Morgan, Elle Alexandra or Jelena Jensen, we had newcomers like Jenna Sativa, Kenna James or Serena Blair. This scenario has completely vanished. With less GG production, all the controversies surrounding the industry and the emergence of Only Fans, not only a lot of talent has retired, but we also have seen that newcomers has to work on BG if they want to win more money and become relevant. Now finding a exclusive GG actress is quite a rarity. Some resist like Serene Siren and Jayden Cole, but the rest are focused in the most relevant genres and are completely absorbed by them, making a lesbian scene from time to time and even this new talent aren't exactly the best, lacking some of the skills that the old ones had.
3- Lack of interesting creatives: One of the things that impulsed the GG panorama in those years was the presence of people interested in pushing the boundaries of the genre. People like Bree Mills, Dana Vespoli, Stills by Allan/Alan X, Jacky St. James or Ricky Greenwood. Many of these directors created new sites, directed several movies and explored some new ideas in their scenes, helping to expand the genre and establish new trends. All of them have vanished with the pass of the years. Bree Mills centered her attention on Adulttime and in expanding it with new subsites, making less efforts in lesbian porn. Alan X was hurt by a controversy surrounding supposed abuse to actresses and retired from Girlsway, working in other sites like GirlGirl or She seduce me but with less success. Jacky St. James is focused in her project of Bellesa Films and doesn't make any more GG scenes. And Ricky Greenwood has expanded into other genres and isn't making GG movies too. No new voices have emerged in these time and the new directors making GG scenes do a more derivative job rather than trying new things.
In conclusion, I don't think GG porn is going to dissapear, because is still lucrative and have an audience, but it's obvious that the genre is in crisis and a recovery could happen, but it will need time and more important, companies and people interested in investing on it. If not, I guess we will have to mourn for the old days in this site as we do now.

^Ricky is still making GG. His stuff is on Adulttime pretty regularly. That said, do the performers who feature in his good-looking cinematography on Adulttime act interested in sex with women? No, not often.
Yeah, he's still doing some GG, but just individual scenes. I miss more complete movies in his work and that's what really pisses me off. Girlsway tended to feature several movies and I think he could do some for the site, just like he did in Sweetheartvideo. He could even do a nw Girlcore season, which is a series that I miss a lot.
This is what need to happen if we want G/G to get back to where it used to be:
1 Make the industry safe. Get rid of all these predators who put these performers physically, mentally, and emotionally through alot. Great performers like Samantha Ryan literally quit bc of what she felt wasnt right and I honestly dont blame her. Now with the option of onlyfans and other sites, if a performer feels not right in the industry from wrong doings they can just focus on their own safe place well still making good money. Onlyfans bring in more good money than mainstream from what Ive heard from performers. Some performers actually use mainstream just to keep their name out there and draw fans to their onlyfans. So if we want the great performers to keep shooting mainstream content the industry need to get cleaned up and the performers need to feel like they are in a safe enviroment.
2 PAY FOR YOUR PORN!!! I cant stress that enough. Not just for helping studios have the funds to produce great content, but to give them the funds to pay the performers what they truly deserve, and give the performers a reason to stick around. Most performers Ive heard literally say they shoot their onlyfans thus you have to pay and shooting mainstream will only allow the fans to find the content for free on a tube site. Which is so true. Fans think just bc a performer stop shooting mainstream that they are retired. Thats not true. Performers that have stopped shooting mainstream or only pick certain mainstream shoots still shoot alot of content for their personal sites. You just have to pay for it. Whether you like it or not if you want to see that performer you have to pay. If you think onlyfans suck and that mainstream is the best then pay and therefore it gives the performers reason to go on set and continue to shoot mainstream.
3 Request studios to book these performers. The perfect example of this is Magdalene St. Michaels. She isnt retired. I repeat...SHE ISNT RETIRED!!! She want to still shoot for studios but nobody will hire her. She is literally one of the best all around G/G performers out there. The fact that she cant get booked for GFF, SHV, AdultTime, Lust Cinema, like none is just sad. We need to request her every chance we get. Id love to see her paired with Alex Coal, Scarlet Sage, Freya Parker (who loves MILFS), and to see Magdalene get her hands on Natasha Nice big juicy tits bc I know how much Magdalene love tits. Like thats dream pairings right there. So the lack of great performers that we talk about from the past that arent shooting now its not bc they left its bc nobody is booking them and we need to literally continue to urge studios to get them on their sets to shoot some potential great content.
4 Force change. I hear so many complain about not liking step porn and other types of porn. You want to know why its still being shot? Bc we keep watching it. As a result of the views studios keep shooting it bc they think thats what is popular. If we stop watching it then the views will be down and studios will be forced to try something else bc what they are currently doing isnt selling. Its that simple. So dont watch things you dont like and continue to complain about it. Stop watching it I dont care if its your fav performers or studios. Stop watching it to make a statement that you dont like the step-mom or step-daughter content and eventually when the studios realize all these scenes arent selling as much as they used to then they will be forced to go in another direction.
5 Support the performers. You dont realize what a performer have to go through just for our pleasure. Im talking about the testing, the prepping, being on set going for no telling how long and all that they have to put up with while on set, then decompressing after the scene only for to repeat the process for future scenes. Then I didnt mention having to deal with agents and other performers. No matter what we might think of a scene at least we should support the performers for what they do just to put out a scene in hopes we might like it. Its easy to watch a scene and say I dont like this that this and that. We didnt have to go through alot just to make that scene happen. Support and respect the performers for what they are doing. It goes a very long way for them to want to continue to bring the energy and produce the best content for their fans.
1. Omg! I though I was the only one that noticed that. Dan was so genious that he created many storylines interconnected. The best way to enjoy GFF scenes is to watch the series and appreciate some details that make them even better. It was definitely the best site until 2019.
2. Allherluv was definitely the best site after GFF changed. Missa created great scenes but unfortunately she doesn't direct anymore (not sure about missax). I would say it's still the best but it's not what it used to be...
4. SHV changed a lot with Mike Quasar. I think Ricky and Dana tried to keep Nica's style.
1. Totally agree! I would add that lesbian content was trendy the past decade. Now TS and stuck scenes seem to be popular...
2. Agree again! That's influenced by what you mentioned in the previous point. Many girls in the industry worked with experienced actresses which allow them to learn from them. Pandemic (and OF) interrupted that progressive transition. Now the "universe" of performers is bigger but it's usually quantity over quality.
3. I can't believe you didn't mention Dan O'Connell who is probably the best one. Missa doesn't direct either. She Seduced Me is not close to what Alan did on Girlsway and Ricky is not specially into GG I think... Maybe retired performers becoming directors could be a good option.
You want Magdalene back shooting scenes, which I wholeheartedly agree with as she is an outstanding performer, then go on to completely diss the MD genre that she most excelled at with some of the best taboo content ever produced. As for "I hear so many people complain about not liking step porn"....do you, or do you see the same 3 or 4 people wanging on about it in virtually every post they make invoking idiotic, emotive language on the subject?
^ I'm not dissing anything. I'm pointing out if so many people don't like it then stop watching it thus less of it will be made. Even a performer whom I forget who pointed the same thing out on Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast some time ago when asked about the step porn. And even Freya mentioned about how frustrating a director must be having to have the performer say "step mom" four times just not to get into trouble then after that they can go the rest of the scene saying mom. But me personally I have no issue with it. Again I was just pointing out that if people are going to go online and complain about scenes in the G/G genre that's being produced then force change to make it better. Don't just settle for what we get then complain about it after the fact.

All good points. #4 is kind of hopeless though. Incest people (and pedos) are apparently rife in the porn-buying community, which is part of why the industry as a whole gets associated with them, even though not all creators/buyers participate in that shit. There's alot of them.

The fact that she cant get booked for GFF, SHV, AdultTime, Lust Cinema, like none is just sad. We need to request her every chance we get. Id love to see her paired with Alex Coal, Scarlet Sage, Freya Parker (who loves MILFS), and to see Magdalene get her hands on Natasha Nice big juicy tits bc I know how much Magdalene love tits. Like thats dream pairings right there. So the lack of great performers that we talk about from the past that arent shooting now its not bc they left its bc nobody is booking them and we need to literally continue to urge studios to get them on their sets to shoot some potential great content.
4 Force change. I hear so many complain about not liking step porn and other types of porn. You want to know why its still being shot? Bc we keep watching it. As a result of the views studios keep shooting it bc they think thats what is popular. If we stop watching it then the views will be down and studios will be forced to try something else bc what they are currently doing isnt selling. Its that simple. So dont watch things you dont like and continue to complain about it. Stop watching it I dont care if its your fav performers or studios. Stop watching it to make a statement that you dont like the step-mom or step-daughter content and eventually when the studios realize all these scenes arent selling as much as they used to then they will be forced to go in another direction.
5 Support the performers. You dont realize what a performer have to go through just for our pleasure. Im talking about the testing, the prepping, being on set going for no telling how long and all that they have to put up with while on set, then decompressing after the scene only for to repeat the process for future scenes. Then I didnt mention having to deal with agents and other performers. No matter what we might think of a scene at least we should support the performers for what they do just to put out a scene in hopes we might like it. Its easy to watch a scene and say I dont like this that this and that. We didnt have to go through alot just to make that scene happen. Support and respect the performers for what they are doing. It goes a very long way for them to want to continue to bring the energy and produce the best content for their fans.

All good points. #4 is kind of hopeless though. Incest people (and pedos) are apparently rife in the porn-buying community, which is part of why the industry as a whole gets associated with them, even though not all creators/buyers participate in that shit. There's alot of them. [/quote]
as if by magic he appears doubling down on the cretinous rhetoric, the intellectual vacuity of people who throw the word paedo around like it's confetti, one is almost tempted to reach for the phrase "methinks the lady doth protest too much"

We use the word 'red' in describing stop signs because it's generally what they are.
Anyway, moving on from the topic of pedo, incest, and creepers in general, any OF/creator-owned GG I should be looking out for? I know people here into Angel Youngs. She has a video with Lumi Ray coming this week, on the OF, of course. They really should start putting content on real clip stores consistently. The sheer inconvenience of "subscribing" to browse content is the biggest issue (besides price) with the breakdown of quality studio GG.
2 and 4 on your list contradict each other. Pay for your porn and then force change by not paying for it.
I actually do pay for it by buying DVD's. But I also use to visit a tube site and when I saw something I liked, I would try to find out what company made it to see if they had a DVD of it. This is something I think too many companies don't consider. They tell their customers they can't expect them to put more money and effort into making their product because it will just end up on a tube site where people will just watch it for free. They should be looking at it as if every viewer is a potential paying customer. Sure, there are freeloaders. They were never going to pay for it, regardless. But if you make garbage, even paying customers won't pay for it.
On these tube sites, a view is counted as soon as someone clicks on it. It doesn't matter how long they watch it. I wish views wouldn't be counted unless the viewer watched the majority (60%) of the video. If they did this, I'm certain the numbers would change, some of them drastically. That's only a little over half the video. If you can't keep a viewer's attention for at least that, then you haven't made something worth watching. How funny would it be if one of these producers claimed, "They're watching our stuff for free!" Then you go to the tube site and you see a big fat '0' next to it? It doesn't mean no one watched it, it's just means no one cared enough to keep watching it.
Comments can also be an indicator of how a film is received. I've read comments like this: "Does anyone know the name of this film?" This indicates that the viewer is interested in seeing more of that film. And then there are these: "Does anyone know the name of the blonde?" indicating an interest in the model and, "Does anyone know if the blonde is in anything else?" indicating that the viewer is interested in seeing if the model made any other films. Those last two comments were centered on the model. No mention was made of the scene itself, showing a lack of interest in the film.
Im not contradicting. You can still pay for your porn without watching certain things. Being a sub to AdultTime but not watching scenes that have girls using strap-on anal is an example of what Im talking about. Being a sub to GFF and not watching girls who pretend to be teen cheerleaders having sex with older women is again another example. So yeah you can still pay for your porn and not watch things you dont like. But if you constantly watch what they produce then complain about it, why would they stop shooting it if the views are through the roof?
The thing about what you said is that people tend to skip and skim through a scene so whats the difference between watch the first few seconds of a scene v skimming through a scene and just by skimming through it you are still watching seconds of it? Unless you can make the scene to where you cant skim through. Which I have a whole rant on people skimming through scenes then saying how bad it is. Like you never truly gave the scene a fair shot.
Then I think about who actually truly listen to the fans? Like what studios and/or directors listen to the fans? Ill go back to what I said in another post about in Girlsway early days they shot Abella alot. From what I heard it was Alan who booked Abella alot when he was the director. When he was let go Abella wasnt on set for Girlsway. Now this was before Abella got under contract with Brazzers. And when they started the We Like Girls what better person to jump start it than Abella. I mean the first scene was Angela & Kissa which I think is the best G/G scene Ive ever seen. But they couldve easily done Abella & Keisha or even Abella & Karlee. And I can go into my theory of why after Alan left Abella was barely if never shooting for Girlsway. But yeah G/G could be alot better if the our voices truly are heard. As a matter of fact studios like AHL have taken that away bc when I first joined they had forums for us to come up with potential storylines and performers we want to see. Now they dont anymore. I wonder why?
1. This one is a reach. Porn fans have little to no say on which "predators" are still being hired. Reality is we don't really know if they are predators. But, we do have threads here where posters act like they have the inside scoop.
2. If you want to change the current economics of porn, you are going to have to financially starve the top talent off onlyfans. That's not happening.
3. Magdalene St. Michaels is in her mid 60s. The market for senior citizen porn minimal. I am being kind. I'm guessing this is a personal fetish of yours.
4. The step/incest discussion has taken place here many times. Some squeaky wheels don't like it, but the bulk of g/g paying customers do.
5. I'll skip the support discussion. No doubt performers don't appreciate any abuse that flows their way on social media. Bottom line is they are sex workers & the support that matters most is in your wallet.
Like others here, I can relate to your plea for better porn. Currently, I can't see the pathway to it.
^ 1 I dont think its as much as a reach as you might think. We as fans can do our part in helping clean up the industry. Stop requesting performers work for studios who has directors or other performers whom that performer feel unsafe to work with. This isnt G/G relate what Im about to say but its B/G related but I see so many performers talk about their horrible stories when it comes to working with certain male talents yet I still see fans requesting those same male talents to work with other performers if not that same performer. I see fans compliment scenes that the performer talk about the horrible experience. And yes I could even talk about directors who had done horrible things and yet still get jobs and us fans support it. STOP!!! We have to do our part to push those who are keeping the industry unsafe out. But yeah we cant do much but we can do something. Money talk and as long as the money flow is still coming in from the fans to studios to keep performers and directors who are the dirty ones keeping the industry unsafe then thats how its going to stay. We need to get this industry clean as much as possible. Not saying it will completely be clean but it can be better.
2 Who said anyone has to starve the top performers from onlyfans? We can support them no matter what. I think if we stop and think that one of the big reasons we see performers like Angela White and Cherie DeVille to name a few get exclusive contracts is to be secure. If us as fans fully support them to where they feel like they dont need exclusive contracts maybe they wont seek it. Thats just my thought. I know Cherie felt strongly about the Brazzers contract feeling secure. I think she said this in an interview. What us fans need to understand that it shouldnt be mainstream v onlyfans. We should support our fav performers regardless. Yes we have our preferences I get. Im not knocking anyone who says they hate onlyfans. Just like Im not knocking someone who isnt going to sign up for Brazzers bc they hate them. All Im saying is that if you say you are a fan of idk Sinn Sage then why not sign up to her sight to see some great content that she still is producing? Dont sit back and say well we rarely see her shooting mainstream anymore and she dont shoot for GFF anymore etc.. and complain about it.
3 Which leads me into the next point of requesting talents. I used Magdalene as an example so Im just not only talking about her. I can say the same thing about April O'Neil who openly said if you want to see her more then request her more. Studios arent going to book certain performers for whatever reason unless they are requested. Even then they still might not book performers. Im convinced studios and directors rarely listen to us fans. I see studio sites take down forums that was really the main source for us fans to talk about who we want to see on the site and in what type of scenes. But we have to keep trying bc we never know. Ill say this again, I wanted to see Sinn and Kenna shoot together so I went to talk with Sinn on onlyfans. I let Sinn know Kenna was in Vegas which Sinn had no idea. I said they never shot together before and its time that they do. So Sinn said she will have to see that happen. Months later I find out that Sinn and Kenna was getting together to shoot alot of content for Sinn site. Now they shot a scene for AHL which I didnt know before I mentioned to Sinn about her and Kenna shooting together. All in all if I didnt open my mouth I dont think I wouldve gotten multiple great content with Sinn and Kenna. So if we want great G/G content request bc those performers we think are retired arent. They just arent getting booked and so badly want. And hey if the studios arent booking them then they can make it happen themselves but again that goes back to supporting them regardless if its mainstream or them doing their on thing for their personal sites. After all great content is great content idc if its for AHL or Abigail Mac personal site. Cant complain about the lack of great G/G content when you are limiting yourself to it.
4 I used the incest as an example but its with anything. Another example for me would be back in the day with NuruMassage. I didnt like it so I can count on one hand how many scenes Ive seen. It was rare so most of those scenes I didnt even click to watch. It wouldve been crazy for me to watch every NuruMassage scene then complain about how bad it is. It served no purpose while me viewing it wouldve gave the site the impression that they need to make more bc look at the views. Nope I didnt even bother viewing it. I just saw another NuruMassage just released then kept moving had no interest. And yes I appreciate some of the best performers in those scenes like Carter Cruise, Cherie DeVille, and others. Its just wasnt my thing so I passed. Which is ok. But dont watch something you dont like over and over again just to complain about how they keep making it. Just dont watch and thus they will see its not getting really no views so hopefully they will cut the chord. Thats all Im saying. And I say that for me personally with NuruMassage, Sex Tape Lesbians, for GFF its was Pin-Up Girls series.

Yeah, the bit about "people here think they have the inside scoop" is a bit weird. The women are literally talking about their experiences and in some cases, naming dudes out publicly. It would be helpful if the few paying fans in existence were hard on companies that bring back guys with weird histories in the industry. I only watch chicks, but the one woman that comes to mind as far as being accused of abuse, I would have no issue saying I'm not watching her junk.
^ Its not just those who are abusers that are performers but also directors too who allow all that stuff to go on. Even when the women tell them they still allow it to go on. And I agree that its not inside scoop its the women actually talking about their experiences with proof. Multiple other women on the same performers, same directors, and same studios. Yet like you said the few paid fans still support who they support no matter what they did. Its sad bc there are fans that only want to enjoy scenes bc they only see a performer as a sex object rather than a human being who has emotions and deal with real life things both good and bad.
Well, after sharing some pessimism for the GG genre situation, I want to spread some optimism. I just watched the last scenes launched in the Lez be bad site and they're quite good. Not going to review every one of them as I don't want to steal the spot to Blackdragontea, but as a general comment, I find these scenes really well done. Fantastic shots, good edition, good castings, performers actually into the stuff and not a lot of complicated choreography or annoying shouts. The only thing that maybe is not for the taste of everyboy is the presence of toys with strap ons as the predominant force. I'm not a friend of so many toys but I think they do good use of them as they appear some time later in the scene and are used in a not exagerated manner. Aditionally, there is plenty of time for kissing, worshipping bodies, lost of cunnilingus and annilingus and even anal fingering. Hell, I've finally see a lesbian cene where finally the woman take the time to enjoy Skye Blue's boobs. I was going to cry for definitely see someone doing it. In overall, Adulttime did it. They have returned (in some way) to deliver good lesbian scenes, a thing so many of us though was impossible.

^While I mostly disagree, I am glad there is a series that is really grabbing your attention!
^And for curiosity, where exactly do you disagree???

^ I'll say Whitney Wright/Victoria Voxxx and Jane Wilde/April Olsen had some nice GG action. And even the Sinn Sage/Victoria Voxxx was ok, though BDSM-ish roleplaying is annoying to me.
The rest of the videos in the series? All whack, over-the-top, unserious, with lots of porn-yelling. The one released last night was especially terrible; it was almost nothing but annoying fake moaning.
Add an emphasis of strapon roleplay on top of lackluster GG sex and the series is just not for me.
It's two of my least favorite things in "lesbian" content, dumb-sounding fake moans and pretending to have a dick, combined. I think a couple of the videos even throw in pee content, just to make it extra dumb. I'm just not the target audience lol.
