| ScottMcGowan Your Choice  "Skip the sex. I wanna see the stories." -Scott on Girlfriends Films 149 Posts 7/10 |  Posted - Jul 16 2014 : 7:58AMSo, I was just screening some stuff (I won't say what, you'll see why) and noticed something. Seems like a lot of producers/directors are really skimping on the costumes in themed scenes that feature nurses, cheerleaders, school girls and other such characters. And that's a damned shame. For instance, I just watched one DVD just now with a cheerleader theme where the girls were wearing workout shorts/sports bras and dollar store pom-poms. C'mon, man! Worse yet, it was an active, ongoing series of premium priced DVD's. Almost as bad is costume-themed scenes where they strip everything off within the first couple of minutes. The same could be said for lingerie, high-heels and similar sexy clothing. Why strip it off? It was made to look good! Am I alone on this? For those of us who get into costumes or posh looking lingerie, do you find yourself as annoyed as I do when they use cheap knock-offs or strip it all off so quickly you don't even get to admire it? And finally, do you like costume themes or are you just there for the fucking? Edited by - ScottMcGowan on Jul 16 2014 [Link] |

| draghixafan Senior Member Less identical crap, more sleaze and bush! 2378 Posts 7/09 | Posted - Jul 21 2014 : 9:17AM As I have been lamenting this very vocally here for years and NOTHING has changed, in fact as you point out its actually getting fucking worse! So many themed titles that are only 3 minute intro, and then gonzo naked-couch-facial. FUCK TODAYS PORN! I was only last night posting but decided not to a thread called "maintaining scenario" asking is it really that difficult? After seeing Larkin Love as Elvira a HUGE fantasy of mine, but FFS halfway through she loses the outfit and then most importantly the wig, which COMPLETELY destroyed the fantasy. AGAIN FUCK TODAYS ENDLESS DIRGE OF IDENTICAL PORN!! And one thing I think is responsible for the financial troubles of the industry, How many times do they expect us to buy scenes of our favourite girls with only 3 mins of unique content.. and then the same naked-couch-facial.. again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again ???

| Zoiper2009 Deactivated User 575 Posts 3/14 | Posted - Jul 21 2014 : 10:11PM He complains that porn producers are "skimping on the costumes." Yeah, like us porn fans just hate it when we see a hot porn babe who is underdressed. Probably, one of the few examples most of us could think of where a costume would be too skimpy is if it were worn by a lady the size of a refrigerator. I could see Saturday Night Live doing a parody skit on adult films that begins with a news flash: " People Outraged By Porn Actresses Wearing Skimpy Costumes." C'mon now, complaining about costumes being too skimpy in a skin flick, is like bitching in Wendys because they served your burger on a paper plate, instead of a glass one. [Link] |

| ScottMcGowan Your Choice "Skip the sex. I wanna see the stories." -Scott on Girlfriends Films 149 Posts 7/10 | Posted - Jul 22 2014 : 9:35AM Maybe you misunderstood me. When I say "skimping on the costumes," I mean going the super-cheap route or just fudging it. A sports bra and booty shorts do not make a cheerleader. A $30 novelty costume (with hot pink tartan style skirt) doesn't make for much of a schoolgirl. And I'm not necessarily saying that everyone has to stay fully clothed. But if you're selling a costume theme, give it to me good. Don't get me wrong. I like looking at naked girls. I just ask that genres be done well rather than cutting corners.

But the costume goes a long way, though. Not just to the viewer, but to the performer. I've done a bit of (bad) acting on stage and screen. I'm a former small time professional wrestler. I do medieval re-enactments. And, if I haven't already outed myself as a complete and total turbo-nerd, I even do a bit of cosplay. I can say with reasonable authority, that when you're trying to "get into character" a good costume sure as fuck helps you get there. I'm not the only one who says it either. There are tons of proper actors who say the same thing. [Link] |

| rtj2v0a Self-removed Sports is to war as pornography is to sex. ― Jonathan Haidt 222 Posts 10/13 | Posted - Jul 22 2014 : 9:26PM I'm not a fan of the costume cheerleaders or nurses scenes but I hear what you're saying. Nurses at most hospitals today wear scrubs (think Nurse Jackie). Don't know if people would like that look, but it it would be more realistic (and cheaper for the producers. I'm totally down for the girls keeping their heels on while fucking -- for at least a third of the scene, anyway. I have a bit of a shoe and foot fetish, so well-kept feet, well-manicured nails and great-looking shoes are a turn-on for me. This is just me, but I would like to see everything off by the end.

| Zoiper2009 Deactivated User 575 Posts 3/14 | Posted - Jul 23 2014 : 11:06PM accepting the reality of a character requires, than when these same viewers watch a character in a well done mainstream movie. For one thing, porn performers, with few exceptions, have had little, if any, actual training in acting. Plus producers realize that the main event, for most audience members, is the sex, which is why so many viewers keep a finger near the fast forward button. So why waste much production time and money crafting good scripts and shaping good performances, or worrying if costumes seem realistic, when rather than valuing those things, most viewers are simply wanting to see one or two hot sex scenes, in order to have an orgasm themselves. And let's be real, most porn fans are fully aware that the thin plots found in 99% of adult films, exist for the one simple purpose of serving as a device to bring people together to fuck. Kind of like those old Kung Fu movies where the plot was only there to give guys reasons to get into fights. Plus, if a director does bother to put some young women in realistic looking cheerleader uniforms, he does so with the knowledge that an awful lot of porn dogs will be hitting their fast forward buttons, eager to see the goodies that lie underneath those uniforms. A statistic from Blazinggrace.org about the viewing of hotel room porn rentals seems to verify that behavior. It is stated that the average hotel room porn video is watched for 12 minutes. Some of that short time is likely being spent scanning through the video to find the hottest scene that will help the viewer come. Since the typical porn sex scene is longer than even the full 12 minutes it looks like most folks are just viewing enough of the juicy stuff to get their rocks off, then it's goodbye video. It's pretty obvious these guys are not taking the time to evaluate plot, (if any) quality of acting, or how accurate the wardrobe is for the story. These are things that most people only concern themselves with when watching a real movie, not when viewing videos that are basically a bunch of sex scenes that are connected by nonsense.(if they have any logical connection with each other, at all) Luke Ford, the author of the book "A History of X" once said: "The best hardcore porn film ever made would not even rank in quality up in the top twenty-five thousand mainstream movies ever made.(Over 40,000 American feature films have been made since The Great Train Robbery in 1903.) Basically Ford says that people who look to porn for good acting or intelligent writing, (he could have added quality wardrobe to the list) must be doing some good drugs, because they don't live in reality. With my porn I need a minimal plot, or none at all. Will have to say though, that in g/g videos, my favorite category, rather than things starting off right away with the women having sex, it's nice when there's some conversation beforehand, with preferably one girl seducing the other. If the seduction even comes close to seeming realistic, that makes a scene considerably hotter, to me anyway. But that's all the plot I need. And if I need to see really good acting I'll put on movies with performers like Cate Blanchett, Anthony Hopkins, or Meryl Streep in them. [Link] |

| ScottMcGowan Your Choice "Skip the sex. I wanna see the stories." -Scott on Girlfriends Films 149 Posts 7/10 | Posted - Aug 8 2014 : 6:28AM I just see it like this. If you're going to do something, do it as best you can. Don't be lazy. Put in some effort. I mean, in one of the lesbian flicks you like with the seduction set-ups (I like those too, by the way), wouldn't you be disappointed if all of a sudden they started half-assing it? [Link] |

| pat362 Senior Member 10083 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Jan 4 2015 : 10:45AM Mind you since most porn is gonzo and the girls tend to only wear a two piece bathing suit or a top and mini skirt in their scene then maybe most people don't care what the girl wears as she won't be wearing it for very long.
