Give the Interracial and rough anal a break...use your imagination!!
After almost 6 months of reviewing and browsing through and endless list of adult releases I have come to the conclusion that there is either no desire to look forward and deliver quality product or there are simply A LOT of companies on the market that are so self-absorbed that they have fallen into a perpetual state of self-copying. Here’s what I mean:
I have grown extremely weary seeing an endless list of releases where boring, dull, and low-quality anal features are being mass produced on a daily basis (mind you, in a manner very similar to the one adopted by the “serious” producers a.k.a Hollywood) and the cool and hip interracial action which is as boring as the titles that are often associated with it. I am sorry but anything in the realms of “black meat/white teen”, spruced up with a few gags and spits, and a stupid title does not automatically sell. So, instead of copying each other, because that is what 98% of the companies are trying to do, drop what I describe now as “dull mainstream interracial” and look for something more original (if you are so inclined to produce interracial titles raise up the quality and keep it as niche-genre where one can actually find something worthy of seeing). With other words try to be more inventive (for the producers that do not get it…you don’t have to be overly abusive and extreme to deliver an intense product). Also, as many have echoed on this forum try to be more loose with the camera, show some emotions on the screen not just a pair of balls and an ass that for all I care could be a plastic doll. Last but not least try to invest a little bit of money into nice outfits (yeah drop the scanky fishnets…or keep them to a minimum) and bring some of the quality outfits that arouse male imagination not squash it with ugly clothing.
The reason I mention all of this…the US market lacks originality (with the exception of a few companies). It all feels the same…as mentioned above an interracial scene with rough anal, which is found in just about any release you could see in your “New Releases” section, is now getting old. In fact it is old!! Go back to basics (you could even drop the anal and still make a “hard” and “intense” film)…you might be surprised what the response of the public would be.
The reason I wrote all of this…after going through 16 new releases this week…after I watched only about 30min from each of them…it feels like I have seen them all.
I vote for more interracial and less white on white action, it should be in balance and now it isn't. Of all the movies being movie I think about 90% is white on white action and about 10% interracial so how can you ask for even less?
Better still...Just don't watch it. if it doesnt float your boat, stick to what you do like...I won't believe for a minute that there are more inter-racial movies being produced over white-on-white action (a crude term but it will suffice).
While this is a forum, you are entitled to have your rant but your comments are unfounded when there is so much more material being produced out there at the moment. I don't think Viv Thomas has ever shot inter-racial and by not doing so doesnt make him racist (totally different issue here folks).
Porn is a very subjective and personal one for the individuals that patronise it. Just because you don't like brutal anal (and I don't either for that matter) you shouldnt spoil anyone elses fun by saying it shouldnt be produced.
Hey, some people like watching girls crush insects with their bare feet which again is not my thing at all but someone is drawing some enjoyment from the experience...
Or maybe too much of anything is just plain bad.
Personally, I'd complain that there are too many similar blonde blue-eyed and boob jobbed girls in the industry that almost look the same. I'm glad there is more variety in the mix these days with brunettes and girls of different colour...with real tiddies too

ramsey you [bad person, i called you a name and had my post edited. enxt time I do this I should be banned.]
Sadly, I agree...maybe it's the "hot" area where sales are doing the best and all the producers are just jumping into it because that's what sells? What would be most enlightening is a breakdown of sales by genre/fetish.
The original comment is fair...go look at any dvd site's "new releases" section and look at what kind of videos are being released. If it's not the type PB mentioned, he's wrong. If it is, he's right...

Personally, I find the title of this thread to be selfish, ignorant with just a kiss of racism for flavor.
I will tip my hat to hardware though. For a moderator, not only does this guy have a sense of humor, he rides that ragged line bewteen participant and pessimist.
The market is oversaturated, but so what? I don't hear you calling for a recall of Gay, Tranny or Bi Films. Should I assume that you are happy with that mix? What about midget porn. What about titles with short men?
I don't know what's up with the market. 10 years ago P. North, S. Micheals, T. Byron, Mr. Marcus, Joey Silvera, L. Steele, and a few other ruled the male side of the industry and no one complained about their works.
If we are oversaturated, we are over saturated with production companies. There has to be 25 fold the comapnies there were in the 90's and every companie want to compete in every genre.
Don't blame IR or Anal, it has nothing to do with that. People put out what sells, and if you don't like the market, don't put what's on the shelf.
I like Anal titles and I like IR, and it appears that I am in the majority since these genres are coming to town by the truckload. At the same time, as a female, if you don't do one of the two, plan for a short carreer. Guess that's why Audrey Hollander, Trina Micheals, Katja Kasin, Lauren Phoenix, Ashley Long and a host of women hit the porn market on fire.
You ain't got to jump on the bandwagon, but don't get mad when it crushes your foot for dancing a jig in front of it.
I've never been a big fan of the black male/white female interracial titles. I still don't think there is enough white male/black female interracial porn, incidentally, in addition to wanted to see more WM/Latina anal action. My main interest in porn is anal. But even though I am a big fan of anal action, when it gets too rough with choking and slapping and verbal abuse, it really turns my stomach. Maybe because I have never been like this in my own sex life nor has anyone wanted this from me. I just don't see the joy in it.
I too feel your pain at times, but I agree with your bigger point. Everything I don't like in porn should be stopped. Period. It doesn't matter if it sells, if lots of other people like it, or any other factors. If I don't like it, there's no reason anybody else should watch it...

Porn is about preferences, that’s why there are different genres that appeal to different customers. So, perhaps you could explain to me how the title of a thread, or thread itself, that addresses a current trend in the industry is racist. As mentioned above Hardware the market is indeed oversaturated and there is hardly any originality. What I like or dislike for that matter has nothing to do with the trend which I attempted to describe above…the observation I made does not imply that this or that must be stopped. So, unless you have anything productive to add don’t reply with cheap shots claiming that this post is racist. If I mentioned in another thread that I was unhappy with the degree of fake boobs in porn would that make me extreme anti-boob man (or whatever else description you wanna use).
The reality is that you go to every single web site of a major US producer and the dull interracial (for the record for those that “skipped” the part where I mention that quality interracial titles are indeed present….RE-READ my initial post again) will great you right away. My observation was prompted by the fact that obviously at least for me putting up a cheap black on white title and hoping for a breakthrough is not enough.
Perhaps instead of posting as you did you should have tried something like "Can somebody recommend something for me other than _________________ because I'm getting sick or if" rather than doing it as a long whine about how people should stop making what you don't like...

Something I was going to comment on...by pointing out that there is only a tiny dose of quality interracial. The dull, mainstream, interracial is definitely more....not quite sure a serious discussion could be had though...as the racism flag will be waiving again....

Michael Stefano's Feeling Black line is good work and I ebjoyed the 1st few in the series (Never saw the RLD releases)
Once again, I saw it comes down to sales. If white men truly bought these titles, the market would be flooded with it. I think Stefano's success in this genre stems from his reputation and the support of both PXP and RLD. GWBS from Devil, is out there, but not many people talk about it.
Either way, we all controll the market without our dollars and input. I'm a huge MILF fan, but the issue stems from the fact that big companies aren't willing to invest in it. That leave either broken down women in these title, or the title is in the hands of C and D level studios with out of shape men attempting to lay wood.
So once again, IR and Anal may need to shake up casting and style, but the genre is more than welcome.
Your opinion of course. Companies like Evasive Angles, Justin Slayer Productions, West Coast Productions and Climax 9 are releasing great quality interracial movies. Devil's Films use to do this also but they slipped downhill pretty fast in my opinion of course.
I live in Georgia and when I see interracial couples 99% are black male & white female . So that would drive the market as far as what vids are produced--I would imagine.
Obviously you don't understand what my post was about. I am not looking for recommendation but comments and a feeling as to other people's opinion about the two mainstreams in porn-interracial and anal- at this very moment. I firmy stand behind my words that there is a serious blur on the market where anyone that could pick up a camera and shoot heads to teh interracial and rough anal genres. My problem is, and as it seems, other people's observations that with the exception of a few companies there is indeed a steady oversaturation of poor products. I don't think that anyone, and I mean anyone, that likes to comment on the issue can do so without drawing some sort of a parallel or generalization (how else would you sum up past catalog releases) that releates poor interracial with some of the better releases. This does not equate racism (which seems to be easily flagged around here).
You don't have to have an interracial scene or rough anal scene in every movie to have a "quality product".
I fail to see how anything you said there disagrees with my earlier comments. All these comments seem to do is show that you're not interested in finding what's better or give ways on how things could be improved. Instead you just want to whine about things rather than trying to solve the problem...

Define "balance" here, Ramsey.. I mean there seems to be far more "white" performers in porn than "black". How would 50-50 make sense? Add in the fact that we get porn produced in predominantly-white Europe with no problem, but not, say Middle-Eastern or African, or East/West/SouthEast Asian-produced porn.
It's a cultural thing. We get more porn delivered from places with similar societies. I'm not sure that African-americans make up 50% of the US population yet, so why would or should 50% be "interracial"? And for that matter, if Afro-Americans were 50% of the US population, why wouldn't the porn they make be predominantly black-on-black?
And "white" is a pretty broad term as well when you consider that Olivia Del Rio, Sativa Rose and Alexis Amore are both latin in origin, from different places, yet are both called "white" when they're not being shoveled into some kind of "Latina Babes" title.
What about the asian-descended women? Katsumi, the Thai sisters, Miko Tan...
As Astro said, everything that I like should be produced in far larger quantities than I could ever actually watch, and everything else should be shit-canned.. right?

The only obvious to me thing is that you are trying to push this thread into the treacherous territory of racism and eventually grant this thread the fate many past discussions suffered- a moderator’s lock!!
I am not willing to personally argue with you just for the sake of making you feel good about a subject you obviously want to talk without taking into account my original post: First of all, this is not an “interracial” thread!! It is an “interracial and anal” thread looking for some resonance from other members that are in touch with the adult market. Second of all, unlike what you claim, my thread BEGINS WITH SUGGESTIONS for improvement of the current “dull” mass productions- I suggested multiple camera angles a.k.a “loose camera”, I also recommended showing the emotions on the actors’ faces, and last but not least I suggested steady investments into quality outfits/lingerie. These are very concrete suggestions that I thought/think would bring a different flavor to the dullness I talk about. Did you bother to even read what I wrote in the opening post? Instead you are now talking about a “problem” (to use your own words) which you want to relate exclusively to interracial films and more importantly you feel “qualified” to judge whether or not I am interested in discussing the subject. Moot point, my friend!! Either drop the inflammatory tone of your posts in this thread or don’t “contribute” at all. My posts are right there for the moderators to read (and they have read them) so if anything you claim is true about my intents they would have taken the necessary measures.
Nothing funny about it...you tried to make some sort of a fake point and curve the thread into a different direction. Yet, as you admit you failed to READ and UNDERSTAND what the thread was all about. So I responded to what you "failed" to comprehend...which strangely enough happens to be a post addressing the racial aspect of this thread which you now find so funny. As I said if you have nothing productive to add to the discussion feel free not to further instigate negative reactions. Fair enough....bro?
I'm not sure why PB keeps getting slammed with accusations of egocentrism or worse, racism. His point seemed to be entirely about the quality of a certain genre in which there's been a certain flooding of the market. This seems like a valid point. There is some excellent IR/anal work and there's some, maybe a lot of unimaginative stuff. To come out pleading for some new creativity in the arena, given that there are countless amazing performers to feature, hardly seems scandalous.
Well that's the whole problem, there should be more male black performers in the adult industry first, that's what I would like to see. Guys like Boz, Nathan Threat, Rico and Nat Turner are proof that there enough great new black peformers who can do a kick ass job.
I agree with CarbonT. To me ,PB simply sounds fed up of trends in porn and wants to see a little more creativity, like he said. Why does everything always have to be the same from one movie to the next ? It's always anal this and anal that !! Even the "cumswapping " titles are all the same. The title may change but the action is nearly identical from one movie to the next.
I've read and understood your post several times to make sure that i was reading it right. I have yet to see how I'm missing it. Looking through the new releases I don't see interracial rough anal strongly outnumbering the rest of the releases. In fact, I just went through the ADE New Release list and checked out the most recent 100 titles. There was maybe a dozen titles I might even consider interracial, and several of them were Asian titles. Once again, your argument doesn't hold water, not that you're willing to listen to anybody else.
Wow. You've had an entire six months. I've been reviewing over ten times that. The bigger problem here seems to be that you want to cubbyhole yourself into one little segment of the industry, and from the looks of it I wouldn't be surprised if you were limiting yourself to a handful of studios.
Originality? Just a minute as I let my jaded side out for a moment. You're talking about an industry that's primarily built around capturing a guy sticking his cock in a chick. The girls aren't hired for their knowledge of Elizabethian England, their ability to do Kabuki theater, or even their ability to do a puppet show. They're hired for their ability to fuck and suck, and if they're talented enough to do more than that it's considered a bonus. I have yet to hear of a studio that hired a chick who can recite every line in "On Golden Pond" over somebody that's willing to go On Golden Blonde.
Now as I put my jaded side back in, some of the charm of porn is how people deal with those limitations and seeing if somebody can capture somebody that repetitive well enough to make it fully interesting. Some can, and some can't and by looking around one can find those who can. If you would have stood up and listened to what others have said here rather than showing an amazing act of spinal flexibility, you'd see that a few of us were telling you that if you'd try to find stuff out there you like and support it, studios would see that there's money in making certain projects. Instead you came at it with a long whine that makes me wonder why anybody would pay attention to it. In fact, I'm not sure why I have this long and am done with this thread...

I am going to answer your “criticism” one more time and then I will conclude that we simply agree to disagree on the subject. I don’t see how your mechanic persistence that you “read and understood” my initial post relates to your latter statement which implies that I should have started with a suggestion(s) that properly addresses the “problem”. I did start the thread in precisely such a manner, with three concrete propositions, yet you still could not see them…why I am unsure. Maybe you simply wanted to argue for the sake of arguing from a standpoint that make you feel comfortable, implying that my post attacked racism. This is hardly the case. I am going to specifically address your last post and explain why such claim is incorrect:
You are missing the point of this thread because it (the thread) does concern rough anal and dull interracial. With other words NOT interracial filmmaking per se, but a specific aspect of racial films IN ADDITION TO rough anal. Something you clearly once again did not understand or read properly as your very last post which is addressed to me reads “INTERRACIAL ROUGH ANAL”….for the record my thread DOES NOT group the two genres together.
You are missing the point because the time span I pointed out to you, to be specific a time span of six months, is just a platform for my initial observation. With other words it is not a summative time frame as you seem to imply. What does this mean? It means that my observation is not definitive hence I asked for other forum members to share their observations! Furthermore, whether or not you have reviewed films for a substantial amount of time DOES NOT make you eligible to automatically generalize a certain statement addressing an area you feel “qualified” to criticize. Especially given the fact that you failed to recognize the distinction between the two genres- rough anal AND interracial. For the record I’ve owned 3 rental outlets for the last 12 years yet I don’t feel “qualified” to slam premature “evaluations” on this very board every time I felt like doing it. And NO I did not cubbyhole myself into one little segment of the industry…I addressed TWO of them. You on the other hand grouped them together and concluded that I should have addressed the “problem”. I am unsure why.
You are missing the point because if you think that a quality adult film does not require more than simply having a “guy sticking his cock in a chick” (to use your formulation) then indeed threads like this one are simply a moot point. Unfortunately for you I happen tot have a different opinion on the subject and wanted to share it with the community on this forum. A shiver at the thought that you are actually “reviewing” adult product as it seems to me your criteria for the term “quality” is non-existent (I wonder how you evaluate the films because by definition they all offer “sticking a cock in a chick”…last time I checked many readers me included ARE concerned with originality). Furthermore, there are plenty of adult stars that are way more intelligent than what you suggest. I cane be very specific with names if I have to, having had the opportunity to interview quite a few during the last 22 years of my career. There are also a predominant amount of film stars that DO NOT “fuck and suck” and are still considered part of the adult business, something you claim to be so familiar with. That is a subject for a different debate however which I don’t think you and I will ever be discussing.
You are missing the point because once again you are bluntly oversimplifying my statement as opposed to reading it slowly and carefully. I mentioned before and I will say it again, I am not looking for a recommendation (this you certainly failed to understand even after I made four posts underlying it for you) but I was searching for impressions and observations which other forum members have regarding the current direction the adult business is following. How is this “spinal flexibility” and what this self-made implying originality term has to do with it is beyond me.
Last but not least, I suggest that in the future if you decide to “criticize” others and their opinions on this board, you at least READ SLOWLY and MAKE SURE that you know what you are going to talk about. Otherwise, to use your dismissive description, “whining” about an area that you feel you are familiar with, yet you are obviously NOT, only makes you seem that much more incompetent.
