^Very insightful. If they implemented significant changes based on these results, it could be promising. Some not too surprising results. Looks the survey was important based on the low community rating.
I found it quite interesting too, getting that snapshot at a 6k+ group of the membership base. They have a Pure Taboo one that should be released "soon" too, the results that is, that should be neat as well. I'm hoping they do one for the rest of their in house B/G content.
What did you like hearing? Or the inverse, what did you read and dread? Things I liked, that I was proud of the membership base when I read those results (shared the following in the All Things Lesbian Thread a minute ago):
"When watching lesbian porn, how important are the storylines?" Out of 5,318 replies, 3,218 rated that highly, from 7/10 to 10/10. Folks love good story lines and it's clear that it's important to them.
People want more Drama/Serious Content and they really want more Romance, 86% of the respondents were Very or Somewhat Interested with it having the least amount of Not Interested At All (only 2%, the most being 6% for Comedy Not Interested At All). Lines up perfectly for me, I'm so very much over comedic/light hearted/nonsensical storylines.
Over half the respondents, 54%, want more threesomes and foursomes.
Family Roleplay haters? The numbers don't lie. For Mother/Daughter and Sister/Sister family roleplay? 54% and 56% of respondents are Very Interested, and combined with Somewhat Interested it's overwhelming what folks want 78% and 82% respectively. I, too, want that and but I want it to be good family roleplay.
Folks want more Sequels To Popular Scenes, Feature Films, Multi-Part Features, but they are only nominally interested in Parodies (with it having the most non-interest of the genres, 39% Not Interested At All or Not Very Interested, lining up with Comedic/Light-Hearted genre earlier having the most non-interest of as well). And that lines up with my tastes - comedic storylines and parodies have got to go!
Overwhelmingly on the open feedback questions Model Request, Content Request are mentioned. So too was Story Submissions. As are family roleplay, storyline and one that I liked seeing make an appearance? Feet Play! More than once, and even once fairly prominently in the word bubbles! Yes, pretty please, very much, lesbian foot fetish is my Holy Grail! Sorry for the bolding, but that one got me mighty excited.
Production values (lighting, sharp imagine, unique angles, interesting locations, etc) is very important to members, ranking 7/10 or better with close to 80% of the vote. And I agree. I want high bit rate, 60fps second film, to be honest, and I'd love more unique lighting, as well as more outdoor scenes.
People want longer episodes, about 30-45 minutes. Personally, I could go 45-60 minutes. And 64% of folks want an Even Balance between closeups and wide shots. I'm a full body man myself, but I can appreciate a good closeup when done well. If it's split, a-ok.
Folks also ranked highly performers staying in character during story-driven porn all the way through, and even during sex. And I agree fully. If she's supposed to be a brand new lesbian, she needs to play that the scene long. If it's a Mommy's Girl scene, it needs to be played that way the scene long.
72% of respondents want Natural/Girl Next Door type models and 70% want Natural Makeup versus only 6% wanting Glam Makeup. Teens/Milfs, Petite/Curvy were dead heats, folks just want Natural Girl Next Door types with natural makeup.
Real Orgasms, passion and high quality sex is super high on peoples desires, 56% of voters ranking that as a 10/10 want, and overall 96% ranked it as 7/10 or better importance. Apologies on the bold again, however; this one was super important to me and I couldn't be more stoked to see this ranked so highly. I ranked it as 10/10 - less fake moaning, less over the top porno sounds and more real connections and orgasms.
60% are very interested, 32% somewhat interested, a combined 92% interested level in more Intimacy/Cuddling/Kissing.

I wish tehre were a site with legit first time lesbian, not just fantasies of it. It's hottest if one or both girls haven't done it before (even IRL) and are doing it more out of curiosity. So really actually it's hotter to me if it's not legit lesbians, just legit curiosity from straight or curious women. lol.
1. 1st, glad GW went to the trouble of taking the survey. 2. People want a lot of different things. You can only achieve this by releasing many different kind of scenes. Is that economically feasible? 3. No surprise, fans want good performers. This is particularly difficult to deliver with so many women currently avoiding shooting studio porn. 4. I always enjoy the mention of real orgasms. Is the director going to quiz Miss Porn about the veracity of her moaning & squealing? Give us something reasonably believable on the orgasm front; it will do. 5. I can remember back in the old GW forum people calling for the hour length scenes. But, don't see that reflected in the survey. Must have been a noisy few. 6. In conclusion, give us everything we want at a reasonable price. Good luck!
It's hard to have believable orgasms while also expecting the performers to stay in character during the sex. A lot of the results are fairly expected and I don't really see much change coming from them. GW was build on heavy membership input so these things have been said before, the site has always been a mixed bag with the occasional 10/10 scene littered with porny nonsense.
If the answers are taken to heart however, more close ups and less wide shots is a tad worrying too, quick close ups are great for showing us what's going on, and good editing can highlight a particularly hot moment (such as intense pussy eating) but I've lost count of scenes ruined by overlong closeup shots or these shots during inappropriate times. Video is shot in 4k now, a wide shot allows us to see everything. We really don't need 65 inches of a performers nostrils when they're cumming, I want to see their body tense up, them gripping the bedsheets, curling their toes etc.
A recent offended of this is Tiffany Tatum and Mona Blue's new scene. Tiffany is a great pussy eater and Mona has a gorgeous pussy, so the editor decided to spend the final minute of Mona being ate out focusing on her head. Arrrrrrgh.

^ "A recent offended of this is Tiffany Tatum and Mona Blue's new scene. Tiffany is a great pussy eater and Mona has a gorgeous pussy, so the editor decided to spend the final minute of Mona being ate out focusing on her head. Arrrrrrgh."
I couldn't agree more. Seems like some of these editors work in a pitch dark room. SMDH
To begin with having 11 possible choices for each question is a problem because too many choices leaves to confusion. A good survey should limits itself to 7 choices. Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Somewhat Satisfied, indifferent, somewhat dissatisfied, dissatisfied and very dissatisfied with the top two and bottom two being clear on the feelings of the person doing the survey and the other 3 choices left to interpretation. For that reason their survey leaves way too many thing to interpretation. Since I don't know what the actual choices were between the top one and the bottom one then I can't be certain of the wording used for each choice but what I am certain of is that many of the results aren't all that great news for GW.
The other thing to point out is that unless I am wrong then this was a survey of existing GW members so the results were always going to be skewed toward the positive as opposed to a survey opened to anyone. Below are some thing that I don't think are positive about the survey.
1- 42% very satisfied is good but 46% somewhat satisfied is not because I would not be returning to a restaurant if I was somewhat satisfied with their food and the same goes for my porn.
2-How important is production value and How do you rate current production value should be major warnings to GW because you can see a significant contrast between the answers. In the case of Production value. 54% think it's important/very important but only 41% consider that GW is doing a good job and with more than half of those who think they only do a good job.
3-How do you rate the current quality level of the sex is where it's get very bad because only 36% think GW does a good or very good job.
4-How important is the high-quality of the sex to your subscription is where I think GW is in serious trouble because here nearly 78% think its important to very important but we already know that nearly 70% don't think GW is doing a good job on that front.
The good news for lesbian fans is that GW did a survey and if they can read it the way I did then maybe they can implement changes that will be beneficial for everyone.

Something like 25% of the people who responded didn't even answer the questions about sex quality. They probably just make Casey Calvert's husband get more expensive cameras, make 9 out of every 10 scenes about incest in a high school, and call it a day lol.
Don't get me wrong, it was a hot scene, I'll just never understand the editorial decision to hide 90% of the action during what should be the hottest part. I always prefer the climaxing shots to mainly have the receiver in full frame.
2-3 second cutaways can be used at any time to good effect by editors who know how to use them but extended views of specific body parts should, imo, be kept for when the action is mild.
Gooch if you haven't already you may want to check out LezKiss, there's a few decent scenes on there and Tiffany has at least 1 or 2 knockouts. I think that was the site I saw her on when I first realised she was something special.
My memory isn't the best but I'm sure Gina Gerson has a couple of great scenes there too.
In all seriousness though I just cannot see what they will do to improve the quality of the sex. It's not like they wouldn't have tried this before and I cannot see this survey giving them any fresh ideas.
I saw AllHerLuv mentioned on these forums the other day and I believe they hold the benchmark for the kind of scenes Girlsway hope to produce, however AHL is very selective of their performers and are pumping out far fewer scenes per month.
Actually thinking back I'm sure Girlsway tried a 'realistic' lesbian series not too long back but it only lasted like a half dozen scenes before they reverted back to having their women projecting piss across the set screaming 'FUCK ME MOMMY!'.
To add another point, 73% of those who answered said they are interested or very interested in 'Squirting'.
So like are those people interested in actual squirting or are they interested in staged squirting? Because I cannot remember the last time I saw a Girlsway performer actually be made to squirt. I'm constantly seeing them drink a gallon of water before a scene, rub their clit 3 times then piss up the wall.
This is important because had I filled out the survey I'm not sure what I would even put there. You see I love intense, passionate sex, I love when that leads to a woman being fingered hard, and I love it when that occasionally leads to them losing control and squirting whatever that liquid is from their vagina (I'm not bothered about what it is, piss/piss with something else in it etc). I hate watching a scene be ruined by staged projectile pissing however and will just bin any scene which contains it.
I just imagine it's very hard as a performer to get lost in the moment and enjoy yourself when you are drenched in piss.

Intelpremium, do you remember what the 'realistic' scenes were called or who was in them?
And yeah, the GW fans mean peeing. All "squirting" is peeing really, but no it doesn't matter to them whether the performer is for real aroused before the peeing or not. They also like scissoring lol
And yeah, I imagine most performers hate the peeing.
Jillian Janson and Karlee Grey did a really good scene recently and Karlee peed on her face. You can tell by the edit and that she was suddenly dry again that Jillian made them stop the scene so she could clean up.
I liked Seeing: - Support for Storylines, Serious, and Romantic scenes - Interest in Feature Films - Support for longer scenes; 30 - 45 minutes - Support for Natural makeup - Demand for higher quality sex - Demand for more Strap-On action - Demand for more intimacy
Not a fan of: - Support for threesomes/foursomes - Lack of interest in community aspect

I was meaning the 'realistic' series from GW before they went back to "fuck me mommy!", but thank you lol
I cannot remember the name of the series but the first episode starred Angela White and Kissa Sins. There was another with Emily Willis and Scarlett Sage.
Performers were apparently crying on set and Bree Mills really hyped the series up at the time being some new era of intimate porn but it never lasted too long.
"We analyzed over 6,000 answers and boiled them down to the top 10 key things that matter the most to you, our valued members!
Here's what YOU want us to focus on regarding our future girl-girl content."
Well, what do you all think? Personally, I think those are great takeaways, and if they were to focus on those 10 points we'd be rolling in high quality lesbian adult entertainment.
^If they can implement number 2, 4 and 5 then they can expect to see me be a very long term member. Now call me when that's a thing because for now it's still their assessment of what theri members have said they want to see.
My issue is some of their points are at odds with each other, such as 2 and 5. It's hard to create believable sex while keeping performers in character and hamming up the "mommy talk" as it's hard to believe a performer is getting lost in the sex if they are being directed to maintain a character at the same time. I could trust a pairing like Lacy Lennon and Serene Siren to knock this kind pf a scene out the park but Girlsway will struggle to release 4-5 scenes per week with that kind of GG star power.
My guess is that the content will remain the same. Incest porn is highly popular and it will probably continue to take the lead of 'believable' sex.
^So you think the survey was a waste of time and nothing will change?

I think Intel is right, sadly. There will be changes; they'll cut down on the decibels when "cumming" and maybe get rid of some cliche dialogue, but they are just going to ratchet up performers calling each other mommy instead, so probably no real sex or actual arousal from the performers.
Girlsway lost its way from end of 2018. The agenda porn angle started and went downhill from there. Cutting the forum community where some ideas came from for scenes which freshened things. Lacy Lennon, Serene Siren, Aiden Ashley, Scarlit Scandal and few others keeping it going but scene hit rate is low like 1 in 10 compared to 1 in 2 just few years back.
Same as Girlfriends Films in similar state now it needs to go back to what it made it successful in the first place pre 2018 and in GF case 2013. Also add too much talent left since 2018 and not replaced. Even some well known names in the biz now hasn't shown their best in Girlsway/Adulttime for some reason. Generally the scenes have no buzz to them. The last A+ scene for me was The Babysitter Rules. Closest since was Lacy Lennon/Aria Carson which was shot by DevilsFilm recently.
Not quite right. Squirt and piss contain many of the same stuff, but piss has one key ingrediant which squirt doesn't: urea. It's what makes piss smell and taste bad. Of course, some squirting will be actually peeing, because some woment can't squirt, unfortunately, and some can't squirt on demand.
Always feet n ass. In that order.

If she's unleashing ounces of fluid, it's pee. Sometimes you get pee that is more diluted, but still. Pee is what you are seeing in porn like 99/100 times. Sometimes, but rarely in studio G/G porn, you'll see...
...some women will release a whitish milky fluid of prostate proteins, prostate acids, and other stuff, including urea and creatine. This is thicker than urine and doesn't flood out like urine...because it's something different. I think we see this less often because it takes real arousal and maybe doesn't ever happen to some women, even when they are fully aroused. If you see a whitish fluid leaking from her during the action, the performers is probably having a good time for real.
The water sports stuff, for the most part, is just for guys who don't know any better and/or don't care. That's not to say there aren't women who lose bladder control when they are getting penetrated really well, but way more often than not, you're just watching the effects of regular old purposefully drinking too much water/pedialyte and then letting it go for the camera.
I mean it might change a few small things. I just don't see any reality where a porn company needs a survey to tell them what they have highlighted there. It's the same stuff you see repeated on the bottom of almost every video on every porn site that allows comments. I suspect they are already trying to satisfy those points.
The only way I can see them improving their content is through changing directors or filming fewer scenes per week.
I'm not just believing what I want to. I've watched documentaries on this, women who were very insistent that their squirt wasn't pee and doctor's who backed them up. So, we will just have to disagree on this one.
I didn't see any points that are at odds but #2 and #5 are not at odds with each other. #2 is primarily aimed at avoiding the over the top performance so many women feel they have to do in todays porn scene. It's pretty bad in b/g porn but there it's primarily limited to the oral portion of the scene but sadly it tends to bleed into the rest of the scene but it's horrible in g/g porn because the exaggeration basically starts the moment the women stop talking and doesn't end (if we are to believe the on screen performance) until both women have had a dozen orgasms. If you watch lesbian porn made in the early 2000 to about 2012/2013 then you will notice that there wasn't that producers didn't feel the need for the performers to exaggerate everything.
#5 on the other hand is asking that if a performer is suppose to be a shy girl who has never had sex with another woman then then she shouldn't all of a sudden be so knowledgeable that she appears to do it every day and she certainly shouldn't be as comfortable as she is. If you want examples of how they used to do it then take a look at the early movies GFF put out. One of the things that attracted me to their movies was that the women stayed true to their character through out the scene.

Yeah on the in-character thing, it's likely to be a nuisance distraction from good fucking. There's a not-inconspicuous obsession with characters being hyper-naive about sex in scenes already, tbh. Not sure it needs to be more emphasized.
And if I wanted to watch virgins or "reluctance", people use that word alot,...well...I wouldn't. I want to see people who are specialists at fucking. Porn is so dumb sometimes for no reason lol.
About half of the points listed indicate MORE direction and involvement from the studio. And that means more porny porn, or at least it doesn't indicate less porny porn. I believe #2 is the most important point but it's sort of juxtaposed against the rest.
Stars like Lacy Lennon and Scarlit Scandal are perfect for Girlsway as they're very good at selling sex regardless of the scenario they are in. They're either freaks or are just very good at their job, they have an aura about them that transcends the general issues of studio directed porn. They could ham up the mommy talk all night long and I would be left with the impression that they were fully immersed into their scene partner.
Performers like that are rare however, and without a performer like that in the scene we're usually left with what I'd call your standard Girlsway shoot. Flat, wooden performances that feel forced and heavily directed. A couple minutes of dreary sex and then switch position. Rinse, repeat.
This may sound pessimistic, and like I don't believe there is any hope for GG porn outside of casting the best of the best in every scene but that isn't the case, I believe you can get a good performance out of most performers as long as you cast a naturally dominant performer who can control a scene alongside a sub and give them time and room to breathe (this is similar to the formula if the early GFF films you have mentioned, although to me even a lot of that was over directed). That means that when the sex starts the direction stops, or is at least reduced significantly. We certainly shouldn't be 'dialling up the mommy talk' like it states in point #5. Give them 30+ minutes of uninterrupted time each if that's what it takes. Dim the lights a bit, don't go in close with a handheld camera, maybe even leave the room.
Gia Derza is a great example of a performer who can really ham up the porny side of things, however when allowed to she can shoot a fantastic scene. There's many, many more like her but to me there's nothing in Girlsways 10 points that indicates they know how to get the best out of them.
Tl;dr. If you want to shoot believable porn with all the tasty porny goodness, mommy and virgin talk, wild positions, threesomes, bright lighting and intrusive camera angles ect then you can, but you need performers who have the ability to carry a scene like that. If you don't have a performer like that available then you're probably going to have a choice between intimate love making OR the other stuff. I have a feeling we'll just be getting more of the other stuff.
I hope I'm wrong as Girlsway releasing multiple high wuality scenes per week is a dream come true.
This has me thinking how people would feel about them just splitting every shoot into 2 parts?
The first part would be entirely story driven with the sex being softcore and completely scripted. Stylistic camera angles with plenty closeups, sexy dialogue, fake orgasms etc. Shot purely as a continuation of the story. Then once that is complete the and the closer to the scene is shot, the crew set up the tripods and leave the room to give the models 40+ minutes of time to have sex. They could even edit in sections of the second scene into the first to extend the scene and add some genuine intensity between the scripted sections.
Currently it feels like neither those watching for the story or those watching for the sex are fully satisfied.
They used to sort of do this anyway, only the performers would shoot two separate scripted scenes.
I realise this will never happen, but I personally would welcome something like it.
So how long should we wait to see if the feedback was implemented? 3 months, 6 months?

AdultTime loves Gia Derza's pornyness. She's had like 10 scenes in the last 2 months alone, just on the GG side.
This would be great, but part of the problem is that they want to spend as little time as possible working on scenes. They'd never take time to shoot a natural version and a porny version.
It takes like 3 months for them to get a scene done and they probably started doing whatever changes they plan to make like this week. So yeah, 3-6 months.
^Clearly while the fans may love Gia. It would appear that they would prefer that she or any other performer play a role that isn't so porny in nature. By that I mean that if Gia is playing a role then the less you notice her and the more you are intrigued by the role she plays then the less the scene will look an feel porny. At this moment that is beyond rare to see in scenario driven porn scenes because the performers always play their roles as though they are porn stars instead of playing the role as what their character should be.
I know it's counterintuitive to say that a porn performer should act less like a porn performer but that's what acting is. The moment a performer doesn't grasp that is the moment that it doesn't matter what role she is playing because we can't see anything other than a porn performer and not an actress.
"It died 3 years ago, but you're still keeping tabs?"
Yes Girlsway still puts out the occasional very good scene just not at the same rate as pre 2018. Same goes for most of the past and present G/G studios.
I feel that Girlsway stretched too far from the successful formula. First was Girlcore it was well filmed and scenes were good but felt too polished which reminds me of feature/parody porn which isn't my thing so more of a preference.
We like girls project was a hit and miss just felt off with the agenda push from the studio and it's messaging of trying to be real when really we know it isn't vibe. I also felt Teenage Lesbian was not great and shows it has lost its roots which is a porn company.
Girlsway has proved many times it can do high quality in the past like The shining, early mommy's girl/webyoung and so on and still has its moments now here and there.
Like many G/G studios it is very difficult to keep original standard and is magnified as many studios have dropped the ball in the last few years.
^I don't think so but then again most Euro porn tends to be gonzo and that includes the g/g stuff. The few studios that used to shoot scenario driven porn don't exist anymore or at least they exist in name only. Think Private, Dorcel and a slew of other great European studios.
We want long-lasting relationships with the models we love. We want returning favorites, familiar faces, and promising newcomers we get to know through repeated casting.
I don't like when companies use certain performers and then forget about them in a year or two and just have new performers in their scenes. It's good to have a mixture of both!
^Imagine if they had a few contract performers who played the same role through multiples videos. Thereby creating a kind of sitcom style series where the performers have sex with other performers or they are simply part of the scene to add a level of reality.
Is it just me or is the latest lezcuties with shalina devine, lika star and lana roy a good example how a taboo scene should be shot?
It has *Good simple (taboo) build up *No over the top moaning with ohhhs and ahhhhs *No comedy or over the top silly build up *A stunning milf and beautifull girls *Great close-ups but also wide shots *tenderness (kissing, breastsucking) *The pace is slow (not rushing from one pose to another)
It only lacks taboo talk and it has some abrupt editing issues. For me those girls don't have to speak English. It always sounds a bit silly when English clearly isn't their native language.
Why not let them act in their own language? I don't mind good subtitles.
This scene totally crushes all the latest Mommy scenes I have seen on Girlsway. For me this scene stands out! Anyone agree?
