Yeah the sex scenes were shorter in features back then. I would assume edited down to a short version rather than the guy just coming quick. I suppose it was to propel the plot and film in general rather than spend 45 minutes of about an hour or so film on useless rote sex as in most of todays tripe.

Well said Backdoorman.
There was such a device as pacing in those films, because, after all, they were films.

As Backdoorman said, the sex scenes were shorter in order to propel the plot. The average sex scene in a film from the 70s ran about 4-6 minutes, give or take a minute on both sides. Generally, there are 5 minutes of sex for every 7 minutes of plot, which I feel is a much better ration than today's features which average 15 min of sex for every 4 min of plot.
And well put saratoga120, they were films.

Yes, considering that when watching most features these days I will usually hit the fastforward button for about 10 minutes of each scene, I think that they had it about right in the 1970s.

In addition to the plot, there was a formula that was followed. Usually, there was a few M/F scenes, a girl on girl, a FMF, a MFM and an orgy. Each girl could be counted of doing 2 to 3 scenes per movie also.

There are a lot of scenes now-a-days that are waaaayyyy too long... to the point where it's bad for the overall production.
Sometimes, I think that they do this just so that they can stamp a long running time on the box cover so that people feel that they are getting more for their money... (emphasis on the word "feel"...)
At this point, I actually try to stay away from anything that's over two hours b/c I know that it will take forever to watch it (and the scenes will likely get monotonous) -- especially if I am doing a review...

Maybe they just wanted to keep things realistic, don't 90% of the guys come after 1 minute?

Absolutely one of the great appeals of the originals. You might have fallen for a dame early on in the movie and there was suspense as to whether she might come back for an encore and if she did the thrill of seeing her possibly do some new stuff.
Today's kids, they have to wait for the next movie for this!

Since performers are getting paid per pop, an approach like the one in the 1980s would never work today. In order to cut costs, it's fewer-but-longer scenes I'm afraid.

I'm sure I've seen current porn scenes where the amount of unedited time the stud takes to whack himself off is longer than some entire scenes from the film days
