Then they would have to deal with method acting porn stars. "What's my motivation for doing a DAP?" "The paycheck honey, the paycheck - just do the damned scene we negotiated."
It's not that complicated. Like I said, the acts are usually negotiated beforehand, so it is just a matter of telling the performers to do "X" for a while. Since cut transitions are the norm, and since 99% of gonzo is the same sequence of acts, there's rarely a need to do more than say 'Let's get started.'
I was openly mocked for my storyboards for vignettes. haha but it was an overlay I had never done it or seen it done and I was afraid i would forget to get something.
For sex we go 2 vag 3 anal or whatever you need, if the performer has an internal clock I tell them how many minutes and let them transition themselves, easier to go back and pick up more coverage if you need it.
As a performer I always let the dude transition cause I have no internal timing and I just go with whatever with a break before anal for stills (usually) positions are normally negotiable.
I have never been on a set with a director with notes or story boards for specific positions, but a male performer told me he showed up once and they had stick figure drawings of positions.
heres my actual notes for a scene with the part you asked about highlighted :)

Set up Establish that Leah is a type A personality, shoot her in business clothes yelling on the phone, have her hair up for this with glasses. She is shot from behind posture powerful and agitated. She is bitching to an underling
Leah "Do I have to do everything my self! I swear if I didn't control every aspect of this business it would go under" Leah Pauses "You know what your fired I'm coming down there and doing it myself"
Leah hangs up the phone angrily, turns toward camera this is the first you see of her face
to no one "just once I would like to not make any decisions and not be responsible for anything, I even want some one to tell me when to eat sleep and piss!
she walks out Exit the dorr slam behind her
open with Leah in the cage. She is the only thing in the room that is lit Joel comes in and takes her out, he looks her up and down (she is blindfolded and insecure) she attempts to suck his dick and he says, only with my permission
he seems agitated and puts her back in the cage dip to black, He reenters with a diffrent outfit (a shirt change and maybe hat will do) they have wild monkey sex he pops on her face and puts her back in the cage.the cage only thing lit again (change lighting after pop so when they approach the cage they come from the darkness into the light slam cage door as out point
yes that was kinda what the example of my notes showed... the story board was just basically a drawing of how the edit woulld go so I could make a detailed shot list for something technical I was nervous about, also so that the shots could be done in an order that woud solve re lighting problems that day.
*Good directors let the performers fuck *it's stupid to story board sex, we don't need a pic to know what RC looks like
