^ and ^^ and ^^^ But there is evidence things are being withheld or removed. Why else not show "Almost Caught... Again" in Girlsway. There was a scene in GFF with Jelena Jensen and either Heather Starlet or Scarlet Red. At the beginning it said: this has been altered from the original (to comply with something-a-rather). The scene was Jelena confronting the younger girl about having an affair with her husband so was about to "coerce" the girl into sex. Things have clearly changed, just check the taboo topic for more evidence. I'm surprised they decided to release the scene you mention, if it is bad as it seems, although they may have altered it. Why is scene with Prinzzess and Brett Rossi (of WSW 102) not being shown? Curiously one scene isn't available for WSW 114 in GFF: Prinzzess and Mercedes Carrera. What have they got against the magnificent Prinzzess? haha. Of course it's being regulated (in some locations). Ever since real life incidents: girlfriend revenge, false-pretence-motel-meetings, sex to pay for work which is recorded and shown without consent and/or permission. Certain search results are blocked in my location because of the wider public concern (at the time of criminal proceedings in the US) here. Now there's a push for sites to confirm age, not just a age notification check/dismiss, but the actual verification/confirmation of your whole identity which is then stored who knows where by who knows and used for who knows what.
"Be My Slave: reloaded" (VT, 2017) is now "Be Mine: reloaded"; First scene "Coerced" (with Eveline Delai and Leila Smith) is now "Be Mine" The whole description of the scenes of "Sirens" (VT 2007) is careful to avoid the women being less than in control (it's about Nymphs putting women under a spell)

Mercedes Carrera is in jail (still waiting trial I think though not sure) for a litany of charges involving child abuse so that might be why her scene is gone.
^ Ah! That explains so many things: her scenes are also not showing on Girlsway ("Ex-Mom Movement" and "The Daughter Wars" scenes or "Green Card Mom" with Alina Lopez and Christie Stevens).
The dedicated topic since her arrest No updates on the case in there since 2024? I would say that nobody in the news media is likely interested in pursuing this, the only information I can find are court documents about appeals (Mercedes [almost feel like stating her real name] appealing the methamphetamine for supply conviction) Apparently she had been attempting the "God saved me, hallelujah! Porn is bad, ban it all!"
For some reason I also can't see Elena Koshka's scenes on GW, although she is showing on GFF (two scenes).
Edited by - whakamaakuukuu on 9/10/2026 10:48:13 PM
I think Elena Koshku hired someone to scour the internet and get sites to take her scenes down at threat of lawsuit. I may have some details wrong but there is probably something somewhere here about that.
^ Hmmm... Thanks for that. It's a little weird considering who should have rights to the scenes under Girlsway, Fantasy Massage, Mommy's Girl. Remove them just because of the potential for wasting time and money on vacuous litigation. What do they want her fans to do but source them illegally. It's all through her topic There's a suggestion she wanted to retire. It's very nice of a studio to remove the content to support a performer's decisions. It's almost like that "right to forget" internet-not-forever-information-removal. I guess it doesn't hurt the site, what's going to happen: people not subscribe or cancel membership if her scenes are removed/aren't there. She appeared to come back in 2025 and people did hope AT would bring her scenes back. But why would they bother, even if they could, it's probably not going to gain them even 1 new member or a subscribe to maintain membership.
Guess what the silly thing is with these two things. Wondering about it for a while, found the answers in topics in AdultDVDTalk! Doh.

The scenes being mentioned involve very specific kinds of restrictions, mainly because some scenes have gone too far in terms of content or there have been legal issues. Yes, age verification is also in place, and some location-based content is unavailable, but it doesn't seems that arousal- and seduction-focused scenes that were previously made, sometimes with a little bit of non-consensual content, are being withheld from GG scenes, meaning that kind of content can no longer be made.
BTW, there are also scenes featuring Persia Monir on the site, especially with Hayden Night, Prinzzess, and IzyBella Blu.
Anyways speaking of Brett Rossi she is very sexy and I just followed her on X that scene with Prinzzess was also very hot and I liked her scene with Sunny Leone too if anyone remember that scene 😍
Edited by - Danielmayu33216 on 9/10/2026 10:45:27 PM
Yep Persia Monir was a good older woman from the earlyish days.
Persia/Jessi Palmer from MDEC 10 and Persia/Sarah Shevon from Lesbian Seductions 35 come to mind as good ones.
They had a nice group of older woman in those days that enabled them to make all LS Older/Younger releases. They often had that kind of predatory nature to the scenes that added the hotness.
Not sure how many active older women are capable of pulling that off nowadays. It's taboo but not always in a cliched mommy/daughter way that is so played out now.
^ I feel right now only Charlie Fordie and Serene Siren has the ability to do such kind of scenes and look hot but the real issue such type of scenes are not made anymore
I guess the bigger lesson is there can be many reasons, some known some unknown, why scenes are missing from certain sites and it's often times not because of problematic content.
^ Well I wasn't assuming why their scenes weren't available other than there being something specific about those two people. When I do know of a scene that is blocked because of the potential for restricted content I will provide the example.
"Not sure how many active older women are capable of pulling that off nowadays"
That would be a very interesting topic for the GG Taboo thread. I was thinking about that this week, after seeing how many older women have been in Allherluv taboo scenes this year.
Does anyone know why some scenes that were released in 2018 were re-released in 2019? Please Make Me Lesbian 17 was released May 2018 and then again in May 2019.
You're watching so many old performers hot scenes and archive movies featuring Anita Dark, Bobbi Starr, Samantha Ryan, Georgia Jones, Bree Daniels, etc. The list is VERY long and all in Full HDwhile I have most of their old scenes only in 480p. And even then, you're complaining? LOL! Enjoy the upscaled versions, man!
^^^OH! Ugly 😒 Wow, I want so many of their old scenes in 720p or 1080p-basically, better-quality versions that aren't available on AdultEmpire/AEBN. Some of my absolute favourites where I've always wanted better quality: WSW Vol. 37, Scene 1 - Faye & Sandy WSW Vol. 26 - Samantha Ryan & Carli Banks WSW Vol. 100 - Prinzzess & Veruca James @LezTrib mentioned Anita Dark Lesbian Triangles, Scene 1 - Anita Dark & Carmen Rose Women Seeking Women Vol. 28 - Anita Dark & Zoe Britton
WSW Vol. 92 - Rozen Debowe & Sarah Shevon
These are just a few examples. There are probably so many more hot scenes that aren't coming to mind right now where I've always wanted an upscaled version. Honestly, this is one of the reasons I'd subscribe to the GirlfriendFilms website someday for sure. And if they're changing their model from VOD to streaming-first on their own website, I might have to subscribe sooner than expected. 😂
Anyway, maybe an upscaled version can sometimes look a little awkward, but it definitely enhances the viewing experience for fans.

If they had the recording on physical film then that could have been made into 1080p, or even 2160p, as some studios have done (i.e. VT, Girlsway) But if they were using a contemporary technology specific to that period then they would (likely) only be able to upscale (which normally means to digitally enhance a lesser quality recording by artificially increase the dimensions and data rate of video.)
Curiously some VT videos are in lower resolution than DVD format, although DVD format is not particularly good. It doesn't produce a good data rate or picture resolution quality. The max dimensions are 720 by 480 (NTSC) and 720 by 576 (PAL - the much much better standard). Both are interlaced; Both of the formats can be made into 405p but 720 by 405 doesn't produce square pixels, terrible for screens, so you'll see it in 396, 400, or 404. These aren't the recording qualities/formats just what most home viewers would experience. Sometimes you might be able to extract the full 480 or 576 or a middle ground 544.

All the scenes you mentioned were very hot, so you definitely have good taste, I must say. Talking about HD quality, they've mostly upscaled their videos not using AI, of course, but through professional editors rendering them with powerful GPUs. That's why some of them may feel a bit more artificial or less natural-looking but I am not complaining
^^^Ah, okay, but I want to erase these 7-8 years of the B. Skow era from GFF. Not to mention, he was a very bad GG director. I believe GFF's downfall happened because of him. That's why I was probably the first person who was genuinely happy when he was replaced.
^ Was it not obvious?! Did nobody realise this for that long!? I suppose if they judge simply on film/scene views/sales. Still maybe you're being hyper-critical. Where has all the good GG porn gone?
Oh, Bad Director! I've just submitted a review, and when it gets uploaded on the site, I hope you haven't read it already because I'm pretty sure you're not going to like it! 😂 Every director brings their own vision, my friend. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And despite all the criticism, B. Skow had directed for them for the last 7 years. Even I don't like his direction 70-80% of the time, but honestly, he wasn't the main reason behind the downfall of GFF Productions. The studio had already reached its peak. Once Dan retired, the downward trend was pretty much inevitable.
^Lol My opinion on B. Skow remains the same; your review won't change it. I hope it's not LS 83, because as I said earlier, I watched it and, other than Scene 2, I didn't like it. I also think the first two scenes were directed by a new director. When I give credit to Dan's era, I literally mean that he was the one who made this studio incredible. I know he had a team, but it was his vision and passion that made even some simple movies and scenes incredibly good, seductive, and sensual. No director can come close to him, in my opinion.
^Ah, how did you guess it so accurately? 😂 Yep, my latest review submission is Lesbian Seductions 83 - officially saying farewell to B. Skow from the GFF director's chair! 😆🎬
Ouch! 😛 After 7-8 years of directing, that can't happen for sure. Maybe B. Skow didn't want to shoot anymore. Maybe he's gone behind the scenes at the studio. Who knows? There could be a lot of permutations and combinations. The industry and PR team haven't come up with any news about B. Skow. I hope he's okay, though, especially health-wise.
Edited by - Danielmayu33216 on 9/18/2026 1:44:05 AM
Yeah, it was a bit cruel and overly critical about the effort of the directorship. Losing credibility might leave psychological harm and lessen self-belief, so let's not celebrate removal, yet be excited for the future.
I'm not excited about the future of this GFF studio, which has already been damaged by 7-8 years of poor direction from B. Skow. What can we really expect from a new director? Will they bring those sensual scenes back? I don't think so. The average viewership on their website and the ratings for their average or bad scenes have been more than 90% of the time over the last 7-8 years. The only movie I've somewhat liked is Dad's Lesbian Lover 4, which wasn't even directed by B. Skow.
So, you can all hope for a better future, but I'm not particularly optimistic especially knowing that the new director hasn't directed many GG scenes or movies.
^Calm down and drink some water you need it right now, I think. Give a new director a chance to present at least 2-3 movies. Then it can be a deciding factor in terms of what the studio has planned for the future. A lot of things have changed at this studio, which we already discussed. It's not just the director; maybe their entire team changed as well after B. Skow started directing from 2018-19 The locations changed, COVID happened, performers started retiring, and the studio had to seek financial help during COVID. The trend also changed because of GirlsWay/AdultTime. There are restrictions on the content also, and piracy is another major factor. There are so many things to consider. Yes, B. Skow was an average director, but the decline of an all-girl studio was inevitable, man.
Shooting was completed around Sep 7 2026 for all four scenes of his new "film". We'll see whether we'll get a scene released every couple of weeks, or if it's released at once for the volume. Couldn't tell you what the turn-around time is like from shoot, edit, etc, etc, release.
It just takes one movie to judge a director and the overall quality. Anyway, as I said, for me, there's no excitement left anymore because I already know what's going to happen. You all enjoy it. The GFF studio has been destroyed; they're just continuing for the sake of it, and the upcoming movies feel like ashes, surviving on the barest of margins. I hope I'm proved wrong, though.
All I really need is a bed and 2 moderately attractive natural-looking chicks who know their way around a pussy. That shouldn't be so hard to accomplish. And yet.
^Thank God you're not the director of this studio, because the already-destroyed studio would go even further down the barrel just to bring your vision of "naturality" into this artificial era and generation of movie-watching. Bring the sensuality back with connected storylines instead of splitting scenes one after another. That may actually work. Otherwise, all is doomed.
^Like 99% gg stuff left alive does the stepmom almost caught teacher babysittter et cetera algorithm-meme content you are talking about. It's clearly not the saving grace. Mainly because Adulttime is already doing that at 3-4 times the amount of content. Your dream site is there. It exists lol. Exists 3 or 4 times over, actually, just with a variance in the number of releases from site to site. All the banal "sensual" memes you could want. No way you can watch it all between adulttime, allherluv, sheseducedme, sweetheartvideo etc
^That meme-style approach that already exists is the most successful GG site in terms of numbers and analytics-you can check that yourself. But the problem is that the quality itself is poor. Your vision of naturality wouldn't survive in today's market. People want to watch feature-length movies. The era of non-feature films simply won't work anymore.
^That's why Straight Girls got more than 30K views on the most successful website, while their respective split scenes, week after week, aren't even reaching 20K. The Doctrine movie, based on Pure taboo, got more than 35K views. People subscribe when they feel it's worth subscribing to. Otherwise, it's simply, "Thank you very much-we're not coming back."
This argument between you two is becoming worthless and pointless it's getting us nowhere. The matter is subjective. You can't expect feature-length movies every day, for God's sake. Studios need to have the financial power to make such movies, and they are taking a huge risk every time they decide whether a project is worth pursuing or not. Especially in this world of piracy, studios are already losing a lot of money because their content gets leaked and shared illegally. On top of that, performers also exist-they are creating their own content and putting it behind paywalls. I told you to watch the credits of Octavia Loves Girls at the end. So many people were involved in making it. Some studios simply don't have teams and production units that large to make movies like that. So demanding this every single time from GG Studios is pointless, at least in my opinion. Yes, BG studios make these kinds of movies because their popularity is much larger, and people are somewhat more willing to subscribe to their content.
I'm ignoring Crazy Girl because very little the post makes sense, there's no purpose in arguing. Although I appreciate that @LezTrib is rather desperate for thing that worth watching, too longing for the past. There's a podcast interview with Alexis Texas and Nikki Benz who make great point about the period in porn when there were "...bigger, grander era of the business... with full productions, wardrobe teams..." Is not enough money, interest, or demand in doing things that way. We can pound the table and the keyboard all we like, but the way to get through is to appreciate that good there is.
This is not about numbers for the kind of people out here who don't understand how this industry brings in new subscribers. So, let me get to the numbers. Straight Girls: 30,000 views Lesbian Sugar Babies: 21,000 views the next day after release Just a Little Foot Rub: 11,464 views after 3 days That means there has been a loss of almost 20,000 viewers in just three days. So, what is happening here? People may have subscribed for $3 just to watch a particular feature movie. It doesn't matter whether they watched it for 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 5 minutes, or 7 minutes-the feature itself attracted a huge number of casual viewers. If even 15,000 people subscribed for the $3 trial just because of that movie, that's potentially $45,000 in 2-3 days from trial subscriptions alone on their website. And how many of those people might later buy the physical DVD? That's another part of the commercial value that people aren't considering.
This is why I think this website is currently working so well commercially: they are still providing content that can attract and be enjoyed by a large number of casual viewers. The same analysis can be applied to Doctrine on PureTaboo. There is also a reviewer website that promotes her reviews and individual scenes. She literally mentioned that more than 100,000 people have read her Straight Girls review on that website. That kind of exposure matters. Now, regarding the other point, I agree with @Daniel about the financial budget and all that. But GFF has been in this business for almost two decades. They may not be able to produce feature movies constantly, but they should still be able to provide connected, engaging storylines. That's what AdultTime, Girlsway, and AllHerLuv are still doing. That's why I put a lot of the blame on the directors and the people working at the studio. In my view, they have failed to maintain what made this studio successful and essentially destroyed what was once a leading name in the GG market when Dan was there. Also, check out the viewership of the Sweetheart videos/Adultmobile for some additional information. Compare the numbers from 2022, 2023, and now. Back then, there were more than 10K people watching, whereas now there are only around 2K people watching their scenes. This shows that viewers want uniqueness in concepts and storylines. They don't want the same formulas to be repeated again and again. When the content becomes repetitive, viewers eventually lose interest.
It's very likely most of the difference between something they promoted as big and an everyday release is that more of the people already subscribed to the site clicked the new thing for a few minutes.
These things where they kinda sorta make a movie are mostly vanity projects. They probably aren't making much on them. That's likely the reason these super long multiple episodes skits are not in production constantly. Consider the need to cost-save in typical business-as-usual goings on.
The special projects are mostly about celebrating/congratulating the work/the star/the director.
Not to say that there is anything wrong with a project meant to show that they can do art or somewhat approach art, for those.that want it.
Movies like these were made by GFF during the Dan era and even during the Nica Noelle era/Ricky Greenwood era of Sweetheartvideo, which is why many people may still remember the connected storylines across their different series. I'm not totally talking about making feature movies. I'm talking more about how to avoid having split scenes and instead make the performers feel connected to each other within the movie with distinctive concepts , without having all of them involved throughout the entire project.
