This seems like a debate that is coming up more and more - American porn chicks vs. European porn chicks.

I prefer American porn girls and I think so do most North American porn consumers tend to be ethnocentric. Why? Because we can relate to them better, they look and sound like girls we run into everyday of our lives, most of the Euro girls speak no English or little, definitely takes away from a scene for me.

I concede that the European porn girls are generally more beautiful than their American counterparts but there is no spark to most of them. I know raincoaters love them because so many Euro girls will run the gamut of extreme porn manoeuvers but to me most of them appear to be literally meat puppets. Not much emotion in them compared to an American girl.

This is definitely a cultural thing why Euro porn girls perform the way they do. Feminism hasn't had nearly the impact on Europe, especially Eastern Europe,as it has in North America. It is still very much a man's world in Europe, women especially young women fear and respect men, they are docile. Add to that that Europeans have a much more liberal attitude towards sex of all types. So add all that up and you get what you get in Europe - some very beautiful easy to work with girls who will do what many American girls won't. But they lack the spark that many American girls have. American girls who do this kind of work are rebels or just flat out crazy, they are more compelling women to watch on screen.

Here's a question - do DVDs featuring all Euro talent sell as well as DVDs with all American girls? If somebody put out a DVD with the top 5 American male and female stars and a similar DVD with the top 5 Euro male and female stars what would the results be?

I'd say your take is a gross oversimplification, but then I'm not your average North American porn consumer, either.

I'll have to second (or third) Hardware's comments, an oversimplification.

But like Hardware, I'm definitely not your average North American porn consumer either.

This is a sore point for me, but I'll recap what I have written elsewhere. Simply put, you won't usually get spark out of Euro girls if you pair them up with two or three strange men and ask them to do all sorts of circus tricks. This means that spark and chemistry are lacking in most of the movies that involve sending American (and many are really Canadian, I know that) guys to Europe to plunder the local talent pool. You also will rarely get "spark" from European-made features that involve big sets and artistic flair, since those directors tend to discourage raw sexuality.

To get good heat in European situations usually requires having guys, and directors, who spend time around the girls, get to know them (and what they like/dislike sexually), and are able to make them feel comfortable, and who then film the sex in a small setting (maybe just the cameraperson and the performers, with the camera sometimes even operated by a performer).

Guys like Nacho, Ribas, and Manuel Ferrara are able to achieve what I just described, and now Erik Everhard has too. note that Everhard goes to Europe as often as possible, and by now has gotten to know some of the actresses and develop some rapport. And I shouldn't leave Christoph out of this, he shoots scenes that have just as many circus acts as those shot by certain other companies, but the spark is there because hefinds ways to make the women comfortable and the sex fun.

I don't want to be rude to a fellow user, but this statement has to be one of the silliest things that I've read in these forums if you're also including Western Europe in your assertions, Mutt.

If you're referring to parts of Eastern Europe, what you say might (might!) have some (some!) merit - but my guess is that you're just putting forward this wild, sweeping, over-generalised claim with no basis of experience to back it up.

Feminism and political correctness are rife over here (Western Europe) and to say that European "women especially young women fear and respect men, they are docile" is just plain laughable.

"spark and chemistry are lacking in most of the movies that involve sending American (and many are really Canadian, I know that) guys to Europe"

So there are a lot of Canadian boys eh? Which ones are Canadian? I know that Erik Everhard and Brandon Irons are from Canada, who else? Are Canadian men good at having sex on film? Hmm...

I have recently developed an interest in the Euro vids. I don't like extreme stuff, but the Euro guys are usually better looking than the American guys. Many of them I would have sex with if I met them. Other than Evan Stone and a few other guys, there aren't that many American men that appeal to me. Some of the Euro women are very attractive too.

I am upset about Mutts very oversimplified statement, too. But as far as feminism in Eastern Europa is concerned he is not completely wrong. As an Agent I can count on quite docile girls, as long as they come directly from the province. On the other hand in big towns we have complete new hedonistic teens, girls claiming their sex rights back, girls fucking around like mad, liberating themselfs from old communist moral.
I have noticed a similar thing about completely new girl generation in one of RLDs STA bonus materials about a casting in Czech. These girls know exactly what they want!

There is quite a lot of teen-girl rebellion going on all over the former East Bloc. Party scene at downtown Moscow is mad these days! For many Russian and Ukrainian girls working in the sex industry is means to liberate themselfs. Its feminism without theory, I think.

For my own fuck I much prefer the wild bunch, in my new role as Adult Agent old-fashioned girls are sometimes easier to convince of acts they would never have immagined they exist. They are really good material for the ongoing quest for <virgins doing DAP>-kind of projects. Still the wild bunch takes less time to recruit and they are probabely less time-consuming to work with on set.

I’ve worked with women from Russia, Hungary and Romania, and what I can tell you is they had no problems working in regular office situations here in the US, even without having grown up here. They were able to look out for themselves, and certainly weren’t docile or fearful of men. The only thing they didn’t like doing was giving formal presentations, mostly due to language problems.

Still, Mutt, I can see how you would get the idea that most Eastern European women were like this, based on what you see in Euro-porn films. This reminds me of the parallel situation of men in the Middle East watching ‘Baywatch’, and thinking all American women are lifeguards with breast implants who spend their days running around a beach looking beautiful. Not so realistic.

Now if someone would care to draw generalizations on European men versus American/Canadian men based only on porn films, I’d be more than willing to make my contributions .

I second Speelie's and Renee's comments, and probably should have said up front that having a PAL compatible DVD player and direct access to European porn definitely changed my perspective.

Don't listen to Renee , the Euro Porn you see really is an accurate representation of Europe ! All us European men are that good looking .

There seems to be very little chemistry in porn , full stop. And yes I agree there may be more in US produced porn , but ..... When Euro porn works , you get the best of both worlds . Gorgeous women giving their all for king and country . Now what more could you ask for ?

Till about 2 or 3 years ago, 90% of what I watched was mainly films with Euro girls in them, simply becuase they were more beautiful, fresh, and did pretty much everything compared to American girls. As far as lack of heat in the euro sex scenes go, I disagree. Just pick up any Rocco films and see the sexual intensity between him and the girls. You just don't see that in American porn.

However in the past couple of years, it seems that there are more beautiful American porn chicks coming out of woodwork, and they pretty much do everything that the Euro girls do. I guess competition has to do with this, and maybe economy as well.

So now I watch 50% American and %50 euro flicks. God bless freedom of speech and porn -:)

my observations about the Eastern European girls come direct from conversations with photogaphers and videographers who live and work there full time, guys who shoot for Penthouse, Hustler etc. Brits and Americans who have worked and lived in L.A. and settled in Eastern Europe and they tell me it is a joy to work with the European talent compared to their experiences in L.A. Very little drug use, at least when it comes to on the job, prompt, courteous and do what the shooter wants. No attitude, eager to please. Maybe there aren't as many suitcase pimps attached to these girls as there are in the States and that helps.

I still think American porn girls are better. And that's mostly because the American girls can communicate with me, no language or cultural barriers, and I can relate to them. I just got off the phone with this "Christy" chick, a pretty new porn girl from Canada. I liked hearing her talk about herself and the porn biz, cuz it's like talking to the girl who works at 7-11 or my neighbor's kid but instead of making small talk about the weather or school, she's telling me how she loves to masturbate all the time and she loves being with girls and she has a huge porn collection and her parents are behind her in her new career - interesting stuff all spoken in the voice of your typical bubbly teen chick - talks FAST!
now if it had been a 19 year old Czech porn chick I was talking to it would have been one or two word responses due to the language barrier spoken in a thick Eastern European accent. And if anybody says that accent is sexy ....... it ain't.

I'm ethnocentric I admit, America is the most ethnocentric country in the world. Many Americans think Canadians live in igloos and Canada shares the same border. Both Canada and the United States were settled by Europeans, all of them shared one thing in common - they wanted out of Europe.

Learn Czech, Mutt, and you have it both!

I have my girls telling me how they run away from home because they wanted to be free. How much they enjoy the feeling of selling men what they often wanna act out anyway. I finally just got a call of that Stella girl and she tells me she in her thick accent how she was abused by a bunch of drunken businessmen last night, how she feels like a really <dirty slut> after she let them shower her first with cum, than chanpaign and last piss. How she still got off during all that, how she lost count on all her orgasms and just cannot fall asleep now, because she is too sick and too randy still to go to bed. And than she proudly tells me, that they payed her 1000$ for all that...and how she wants to carry on as an escort in Kiev while working for West porn companies...and while I really have my doubts about her further career, I pump up the volume of a Bella fuck flick on my TV and I hear all her dirty talk that brings me together with her being analed by a huge black dick close to shoot it off. <Bye Stella, you're my best devushka, but go to sleep now>, I tell my once favorite Moscow escort I was so worried about all day...And watch Bella being showered with thick streams of cream finally. I will always be loyal to her, I will always hope she gets happy with Nacho at one time, and she finally breaks up at the second. And if now a producer form the States would ring me up here in Moscow, I had no problem explaining him why he'd better invest his money in Ukrainian girls at this very moment. I would talk about cost effectiveness, new models, new market demands... - all in his own language.

But let me assure you: As a porn consumer I need both: US-talent and the Euro-pool. I sell Ukrainian flesh, but I still proudly spot US porn actress Taylor Rain in my avatar.

i prefer european performers. The females rarely have implants. Their bodies are more fit and attractive also. Also the males are less likely to be circumcised. I prefer naturalness. America seems to be preoccupied with the un-natural: implanted breasts, sucked out fat, plastic surgery, and sliced up foreskins. The thing I don't care for about the foreign performers is their heavy empasis on anal. But oh well.

I just read that America leads the industrialized nation in teen pregnancies and youngest age to have sex. That tells me something is off sexually in this country. I think whatever that something is shows up somehow in the porn. And part of that subconciously is what I'm picking up on and why I like foreign stuff better.

Yes liam I think you are correct about much of that. Despite its rep as being more sexual, Europe has half the rate of HIV and STD's that America does. And America is too fixated on altering the natural body too I agree. I think it's ridiculous for so many women to get breast implants in America. And European men don't always shave and wax all the hair off their bodies the way some American men do. A man is actually supposed to have chest hair. And you are right that the US is the only country in the western world that still circumcises a majority of its boys, so it is at odds on that one too.

My reply to what Mutt wrote about relating more to American girls is that I don't want to relate to the porn girls! I want to at least imagine that these are sophisticated courtesans, experts in the art of lovemaking, or at least in training to become such! I don't want to think that it is the same girl that helped me last week at 7-11 and who gossips about all her silly friends and likes to hang out at the shopiing mall. That ruins MY fantasy, even as I acknowledge that it enhances it for others.

What about all those Montreal girls that only speak French and not a word of English? You complaining about them too I take it while the material they are featured in (e.g. RLD's NCDA) score big sales.

I'm glad narrow minded content producers like yourself stick to the overused west coast US market. Leaves the rest of the world's talent to people who know their sh**.

Could it be that this is just a retreat battle of those US-companies which dont have funds or guts to shoot in Europe? There sure will be a niche for them, but those aiming at a bigger market segment will have to adapt to the globalisation of porn, IMO.
