Sometimes we are into a certain perfomer and over time for whatever reason we lose interest in them or don't follow them anymore. Which perfomers did you really like at first but now aren't even on your radar? Please no negative comments about performers.
Here are some of mine...
Aidra Fox: she used to be my all time fave but then Ashley Adams came along and I lost interest in Aidra.
Silvia Saige
Lacy Lennon: She is gorgeous but just lost interest after seeing a number of scenes from her
Blue Angel Bobbi Starr Chessie Kay Michelle Moist Shay Hendrix Staci Thorn Tali Dova
Personally, I think you should also add that in addition to not making negative comments about performers, you should also not criticize other members who whomever they say they'd lost interest in.
The only one that really comes to mind for me is Jada Stevens. She was such a favorite for so long, but over time she changed her look and I wasn't as crazy about her anymore. Now when a scene comes out with her in it, it's no longer must-see like it would have been 4 years ago.
I was into Aidra when she started out then lost interest. She did a scene a couple of years back with Tyler Nixon where she took a load straight in her mouth & swallowed in down & I fell in love again.
Maddy O'Reilly - She was killing it between 2012 and 2016, and to me she was and still is the greatest redhead pornstar of this decade when it comes to overall content and variety for a good amount of years, but I just haven't been into her in a long time like I used to. I haven't kept up with her in a couple years honestly.
The list is too big. There's a bunch of pornstars I've watched in years past who I don't watch anymore, and it could be due to the fact that they've been retired, they haven't been active, lack of variety despite their stunning pretty looks that drawed me in at the first instant, they may have done something to their bodies or facial features (I get that it's their personal decision) that makes me lose interest in them, or so forth. It can be many factors. I'm sure many of us know who these stars are, but it's many of them throughout the years.
I appreciate the OP's sentiment that no one post any negative comments in this thread but I think everyone is missing what is obvious to me. This thread is already negative by it's very nature because most of the performers named have at least 100 scenes to their name and many of them have significantly more so while you guys might not want to see their most recent stuff. I doubt that you also don't want to watch their past scenes. In fact some of the named performers have been gone for many years so when did anyone become soured to their scenes?
^ Had it not occurred to you that one may simply go off a performer without any resentment, or acrimony behind the disinterest? Had it not occurred to you either that one's interest may have waned years ago, before their retirement?
It's all well and good that you doubt x and y but doubt isn't relevant to the reality, of which there isn't one simple answer. You are also making a flawed assumption that we all became "soured". To lose interest and to become soured are not one and the same.
I hate drawing comparisons between porn and real life but I think it's fair in this case because you can grow apart in a platonic or romantic relationship and that relationship doesn't necessarily have to go sour as it ends. I don't think I'd go back to playing with action figures like I did when I was a wee lad but that doesn't mean I soured to them.
As I see it, the salient point is that tastes change with time but that doesn't necessarily mean you hate or sour to things you lose interest in. That is an obvious thing to me that I think you have missed.
^Of course someone can lose interest in a performer over time but is it possible to offers reasons for that without somehow sounding negative? I liked Philly's reasons for why Aidra was dethroned but I would argue that while he now considers Ashley is favorite. I doubt he deleted all of Aidra's videos and replaced them with Ashley's. He simply found a new muse to follow.
The reason why I wrote what I did is that most of us want to see the new girl do all those things that we love and since we have a limited amount of time to watch porn then it stands to reason that we will look for that newbies videos instead of the stuff from an established star but we don't actually lose interest in the established star. That said some performer can alter their appearance or do some stuff in their private or professional life that sours them to us but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
Pretty much all of them. Not a fault of the girls but porn scenes these days only have a handful of setups and scenarios that rinse and repeat. As much as I like Karlee Grey, Aidra Fox, Misha Cross, Maddy O'Reilly and many others, how many times can I watch the same girl get fucked for 30-40 minutes on a sofa in a white room by the same guy or gal before I don't feel the need to watch their newer content.

That is exactly what I did. I deleted most of them and I kept a few of Aidra's videos for a bit but after a little while I didn't enjoy them as I used to so I deleted the rest of them. Once I lose interest in a performer all their videos go. I just deleted Lacy Lennon's scenes. I don't care for her personality from what I saw on Twitter so that was one of the reasons I soured on her. I just got rid of Silvia Saige's scenes too. It helps save room on my laptop even though I still have plenty of room for new scenes. Every few months I delete a decent amount of scenes. I nearly have 200 of Ashley and I have nearly 40 of my second fave Michele James. I will never get tired of Ashley and Michele.
^I understand your need to make space on you hard disk but you are likely the exception rather than the rule because most porn fans buy more hard drives than delete a performers work. Now that doesn't mean that a performer can't do something so horrible that it completely sours you to their work but again they are the exception rather than the rule.
P.S: While I appreciate your sentiment in regards to Ashley and Michelle. Somehow I think that if we were to ask your past self the same thing in regard to your feelings toward Aidra 4 years ago. Then your answer might have been the same as it is for Ashley and Michelle. The one thing I have learned over the years is that the porn you first like is usually the porn you will always like and it's the same thing with performers. You may gravitate toward the newer one but deleting any of your past favorite's work is just going to lead to regret in later years.

^ I would much rather put my money towards something else like a jersey, hat, new shoes, CD, etc than put money into buying more hard drives for porn, not gonna happen. I won't bash Aidra but there are a few factors on why I soured on her. My music taste has changed over the years and I delete or get rid of CDs I don't like anymore and I don't regret it so I certainly do not regret at all about deleting Aidra's scenes or anyone else's for that matter. Once I lose interest I don't keep tabs on them anymore so I am not missing anything.
I am adding two others to my list...Anna Bell Peaks and Ivy Lebelle. Their scenes were long ago deleted.

Huh, interesting topic. Just speaking for myself, when this happens (being "into" a girl...and then not) it's usually because the performer has changed their appearance in some way that doesn't appeal to me, whether it be a change in physique (breast implants and/or weight change), change in hair color or the addition of some tattoos. Although, now that I think about it, there are also times when I lose interest in a performer because I'll watch their scenes and come away unexcited by their performances.
With that being said, in regards to this subject, the two names that've popped into my head are Jaye Summers and Hannah Hays. Until very recently, I was REALLY into both girls, but they both fell off my "porn radar" this year.
One thing I did bring up my reasons for not being into Maddy O'Reilly while still praising her greatness (IMO) at the same time. Most pornstars I'm not into anymore is simply because they stopped making mainstream scenes or retired, which is a common thing rather than a negative thing. I could still go back and watch 2014 and 2015 scenes of some retired pornstars in HD because they were that good or really special, but retired pornstars that were active between 2008-2010 I just can't do now because the quality/style of the scene is way too outdated for my tastes.
This is sooo true and applies to me as well with so many pornstars I used to be into who fell off my radar. I think it's a lot better when a performer comes into the industry new already having implants or tattoos rather than someone coming into the industry new starting out very natural then getting all this stuff done on their bodies then it's a drastic change that's hard for anyone to get used to. But hey, at the end of the day it's the woman's personal choice.
I'm one of those people that delete stuff to make space because I'm not getting a new HD for porn. I don't collect every single scene of my favorite pornstars, but I'd never delete my favorite scenes of my used to be all time favorite pornstars, that's for sure. My tastes don't change so dramatically. If I'm very, very, very much into a girl, that's not going to change to the point of deleting all her scenes. My 1s and 0s with the title 'Anna Bell Peaks [...]' are is staying in my HD.
Finding someone hot and exciting at a point but finally deciding it's time to delete her scenes and make space for upcoming exciting scenes, yes, of course. But that's how I deal with the problems of space and time (yeah, just like Einstein): I could probably name 100 active pornstars that I find exciting. I have to be selective to meaningfully jerk off.

Hair color is a big one for me. I perfer brunettes so if someone changed to blonde that is gonna be an issue. Change on body isn't a huge one unless its dramatic. You hit the nail on the head though which is why I sour on performers...you get unexcited by their performances. For me if they have a few decent scenes I will keep checking them out but if they continue to have underwhelming performances then I'm done...no more interest and I delete whatever scenes I have from them.
You and Grebo don't need to lose any sleep over your waning interest in Aidra Fox. Trust me, I have enough of an infatuation with her that I've easily got you guys covered. (Though I do question your sanity... 😊)
Seriously??? Look at her!!! Gorgeous!!! Those dimples could melt glaciers!

Meh, I'm good lol I'm pretty sane at least I think so lol At least you enjoy her! Seriously chech out Ashley Adams and Michele James, trust me you won't be disappointed!
I can understand not wanting to buy a new larger space Hard Drive but I honestly don't know how you can get away with only deleting content from your current drive without seriously impacting the video you can keep VS those that you choose to delete. Now maybe you haven't been watching porn for a long time and that's why your list of favorites is much smaller than mine but I have to buy a new drive every couple of years because I'm running out of storage space and this is coming from a guy that is ultra picky when it comes to the porn he saves. Just the file size are getting to be a problem. Some sites only offer Hi-Res videos so guys like me who can live with 480p video have to save videos that are at least 720p.

^ I have no problem deleting scenes. Its not like I'm gonna lose sleep over it. I have more important things to worry about than saving room for my porn collection. I have ton of room left on my laptop even with a ton of music. I have nude pics and videos of my ex girlfriend if I deleted those (which I will not just an example) I would regret that but I've never regreted deleting porn. I deleted just regular pics of me and another ex girlfriend and I regretted that cuz its still a reminder of good memories even though things didn't work out but deleting old porn from a perfomer I have no more interest in is super easy for me.
^Short answer: I learn to be increasingly selective. It works for me.

Regardless of being active or retired - I had hard crushes on all three at some point but then found them more or less gone from my substantial collection.
I know we're not supposed to judge our favorite actresses/actors because of the choices they make, but more often than not those same choices are why I tend to stop watching or supporting them.
This. Occasionally, a hair color change will cause to catch on to someone I hadn't paid any attention to (most recent example: Jane Wilde, who looks better as a brunette than as a blonde, IMHO). But most of the time, if I've been attracted to a performer, her appearance at that time has a lot to do with it, and if she changes something significant about it, I'm out.
^Ava Addams just got more vanilla overall. She used to swallow (frequently), do gangbangs, have deepthroat-oriented scenes and other kinks. Ever since she did the All In movie she's pretty much only done the blue chip rotation (Brazzers, Bangbros, Naughty America) over and over.
She's still fine as all hell, just not as exciting or edgy performance-wise.

My two faves are Ashley Adams and Michele James. I have nearly 200 of Ashley's scenes. I don't like G/G so I don't have any of those scenes. Also don't have her early scenes from low level companies but I do download most of her scenes. Michele is newer so I have almost 40 of her scenes. There are a few I wasn't interested in so I didn't download them. I also have 20 or more scenes of Breanne Benson, Dasha, Sunrise Adams, Presley Maddox, Skylar Snow, Jojo Kiss, Kortney Kane, April O'Neil, Ashlynn Brooke, Raven Alexis among others. I would have to look. I have over 600 scenes on my laptop. I also have a few scenes from newer girls such as Lyra Lockart and Bella Rolland which I will be collecting their scenes moving forward.
^Thanks for that list. I can sort of understand how you manage your porn. That would never work for me because some of my favorite performers pre-date Sunrise Adams by two decades and many of Sunrise contemporary are on my drives so I would have to be willing to delete their videos to make space or do what I do and buy a new bigger drive.
Alexis Texas bc she won't do IR Monique Alexander - plastic surgery Lana Rhodes - plastic surgery Riley Reid - Constant use of the N-word India Summer - she doesn't do it for me as much as a blonde

You're welcome, I have more performers but can't remember all of them of the top of my head lol I go back as far as Dasha and Sunrise Adams. I've been collecting scenes since 2014 and have kept everything on my laptop since I got it in 2015. I used to have scenes from Dasha and Sunrise on VHS that I got like 16 years ago but they broke plus I don't have a VCR anymore lol I since downloaded most of the scenes that were on the VHS tapes. I keep track off everything in my videos folder. So example Ashley Adams 1, Ashley Adams 2...Dasha 1, etc. Then its all in alphabetical order too.

Carolina Sweets, I was into her for a bit but lost interest so hence deleted her scenes...then I saw she went full blonde and then really had no interest in her anymore.

It's interesting to read all the reasons people are giving and the underlying mantra not to judge the actresses by their choices. Nearly every single reason I see, if not all of them, is from an actress doing 'x,y,z' and losing a fan or fans because of it. I suppose there is a balance in there somewhere but if fans feel strongly enough to stop supporting someone due to their choices shouldn't the performer have at least a little interest in not alienating their fans?
In the end the consumer is ultimately expendable but only to the point where if nobody cares what an actress is doing does that affect their star from rising in the industry?
This is why I've always said pornstars should make choices that's best for themselves and their and not just try to please fans. Clearly, it doesn't take much to turn a fan off to a pornstar and many of those reasons are petty and silly. I can totally understand a fan not liking every performance from a performer but I don't get how a scene or decision from a pornstar can affect a fan so much they suddenly retroactively dislike scenes they liked before. I don't see how a current change in appearance suddenly makes a fan dislike scenes from when that fan liked their appearance.
Also, keep in mind that every fan has their own preferences even though many would swear that everyone else feels the same way. When a girl makes certain choices she may loose some fans but she will in many cases will get new fans because of the choice. Pretty much all of us has seen girls who've been in the industry we didn't know or care about until the made a change that we liked and put them on our radar.
^Performers should always make decisions that are best for themselves because no matter how popular they are today. At some point their telephone will stop ringing or they'll be offered less and less money to shoot a scene because there is a new girl getting the big offers and only so many studios shooting porn. That said. A performer can easily shorten her porn career with bad personal decisions. The biggest one being altering their appearance. Be it from some kind of surgery, adding ink or just plain changing hair color. That last one is unlikely to have a huge impact but the previous two will kill a career faster than anything else.
For me it's not that I lose interest in a performer so much as I tend to follow the new one in lieu of them but whatever porn my past favorite (the list is quite long) has done and that I bought still remains on my various drives. and that's why I have nearly 4 TB of porn. While I may not watch those past scenes all that often. I still do watch them and more importantly would hate myself if I deleted them because I have thrown out many old VHS movies over the years that I now really regret doing because those movies can no longer be found.
I think that some of the posters who prefer to delete the videos of their past favorite to make space on their drive for the more recent ones are less porn collectors and more porn enjoyers. I see nothing wrong with that but I suspect that many of them will regret it in the long run as they will miss those past scenes the same way that I miss my past VHS movies.

^ I still consider myself a collector. I have over 600 scenes. Maybe I am more of a collector of performers I like Idk. Just cuz I delete scenes doesn't mean I'm not a collector. I collect Eagles memorabilia but I don't get rid of it like porn but that is certainly different. Again for me I will never ever one million percent never regret deleting a scene. Now if my laptop crashed and I lost all my scenes that would be a different story. It wouldn't be regret but I'd be pissed lol
It's funny, cause I was never into Luna Star ONCE the whole time she went blonde, and what was worse is that she went blonde the moment she started doing anal, but since Luna Star went back to her natural black hair color I've been into her again and it's been great IMO.
Well, first of all, I'm extremely biased towards anal stuff and I almost exclusively save anal scenes. Also, gaping. That helps. Same with 1080p or at least 720p. And even with that I have to delete stuff often. One exception would be Ash Hollywood. I've got some stuff from Jules Jordan or Evil Angel that don't involve anal (the only anal scene she did was on Tushy). Other exceptions from my High Definition rule would be Mina Leigh (Fresh Flesh and another scene for Evil Angel) and Sasha Grey, for example. Other than that, most of the stuff I have in my HD is anal in high definition (not 4k, because it takes away too much space for the difference it makes). I pay attention to scenes of favorite pornstars like, say, Casey Calvert, Adriana Chechik, Cherie DeVille or Jennifer White, but that doesn't mean I save them all. I select and select the better scenes. I've got some space for very softcore or even NN stuff like Kari Sweets, but that takes about 2% of my HD.
As sad as I am to say it, Sara Jay. she's been in my top 5 for damn near 10 years, but watching her scenes now, she doesn't really do it for me. I find myself watching some of my favorite classic scene's of hers in the early 2000s. Anyway, Anna Bell Peaks has wholly picked up the slack, holy shit.
