Firstly, I'd like to stress that in no way this thread should be turned into a hate thread where porn stars are bashed or disrespected. I've thought about a thread like this, but just never started it because of that very fear, that some retards would make hateful or disrespectful posts instead of just discussing the topic. So, let's please refrain from that and have a healthy RESPECTFUL discussion. So, back to topic, there have been many performers who a lot of people loved, popular girls...but you just couldn't get yourself to really like them and their stuff for some odd reason that you couldn't even explain. Girls who are good or at least decent looking, and great performers and always give it their all and do a lot of things you enjoy watching...and still, you just can not bring yourself to really enjoy their scenes. I've had my share of that, and I really hope some of you also share your feelings about this in a respectful way as I do feel many of you feel the same way about certain performers. First name that pops in my head is Dana DeArmond. The girl has been a great performer all these years. Always brings her A game, and puts out great scenes and has a long resume of things she has done. But no matter how hard I tried, watched so many of her scenes...but just doesn't do it for me and I can't figure out why all these years. Maybe cause there was always a Bobbi Starr working at the same time, similar performers, doing the samethings Dana does, featured in a lot of casts together....but I just always found myself drawn to Bobbi, or Tori Black, or Jenna H or some of the other girls who've been featured in a lot of casts together. She deserves a lot of love and respect, for everything she's done all these years...but I just can never get myself into her stuff. Second name, would be Katja Kassin. Same reasons as above, and a true veteran of the game who is still going strong. I've tried so hard to really get into her stuff. I've enjoyed her work, but just can't call myself a real fan. A great performer nonetheless. Then there's Sasha Grey. Who in the beginning, I liked a lot, but after awhile...I just didn't enjoy her scenes at all even though she did so much in such little time. Maybe it was all the weird interviews and talks of self boasting, and talking like she's doing things no one has ever done in porn, while girls like Bobbi Starr, Annette and so many others did same things and more. Or trying way to hard to look intelligent and intellectual, but nonetheless.....she did great work, which people still remember and still WATCH and remember her, myself included. So I will mention her. There are a few others but these names stick out of the bunch for me right away. Then, out of the new lot, there's Anikka Albrite. Already a great performer who is doing a lot of things I really enjoy watching. Yet, I just can not find myself really enjoying her scenes enough to call myself a fan. Another one is Bailey Blue. Same reasons as above...I don't get it. On the other hand, there are girls I watched ONE SINGLE SCENE and found myself hooked! Just something so special about them to me, couldn't help myself. New girls, Casey Calvert. Seasoned girls, Tori Black, Bobbi Starr, Cherry Torn, Jenna Haze, Annette S. and a few others. All it took, was one single scene! Even someone like Stoya, who hardly even does porn and hasn't done anything "great" in years and last scene I really loved of hers was almost 2 years ago...yet, I still find myself drawn to her and watch her scenes nomatter how lame they are (being very frustrated). Please discuss....I really hope I am not the only one to feel like this. Edited by - chuckthefreak on Jan 16 2014
For me sheena shaw,Asa akira, London Keyes, actually i never got hooked up to almost every Asian performer, may be because im Asian and i dnt get exited while watching Asian girls. nothing against them though.
You're not alone. There are plenty of girls who I think are pretty, enthusiastic or I have little or nothing bad to say about them but I've never been in to them much.
There are many , but I will never say to any woman she's not attractive much less she does nothing for me.In the case of a porn star though to put names could affect her work , surely not the superstars like Bobbi or Tori or Jenna but for lesser starlet it may, porn producer and directors read this board , they won't hire a star who can't catch customers if she's mentioned too often in such a thread. Those who like them a lot in fact wouldn't post here, the thread would be unbalanced. But as a general rule , there are some stars that just don't do anything for me. There's even one who would do but has a resemblance to an ex-GF of mine (just her face the stars' body is way better), we split up in very bad terms, I just can't watch the scenes of such a star , too many memories come to mind, bad memories.

Thanks for the replies guys. About the last post, I am pretty sure opinions of just a few individuals will not matter much at all interms of popularity of girls or being hired by directors. So no need to worry about that. Like I mentioned above, not disrespect or negative comments at all.
I find if I'm not into the woman's appearance, it doesn't matter what she does on camera. It just leaves me numb. I could name scores of girls over the years, but don't see the need of doing that.
My tastes are very strange when it comes to who does it for me in porn. For example I think Tori Black was very pretty and seemed to be a great performer but I was never into her at all. But many of my fav pornstars aren't as goodlooking as Tori and I'll admit some are merely okay performers but I can't get enough of them. Then there's girls like Sara Jay who not only has the body type I like but likes to do lots of IR (which I like) and seems to be a solid performer. I should be a huge Sara Jay fan but I'm kinda indifferent about her and I'm not sure why. I'm into Chastity Lynn but there are lots of girls of that type that give good performances and might be even prettier that I could care less about. I never thought Tera Patrick was a particularly strong performer but I really liked watching her because of her looks. I think Pheonix Marie is a very strong performer and has a great body and looks but for some reason I'm indifferent about her. Some girls just click with me and they don't have to be the best looking or best performer and some click because of their looks or performance skills. There's no real formula for me it seems.

Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Jesse Jane, Sunny Leone. Never got into any of them, especially Jane. Never saw the appeal, was it because she's blonde? And Sunny Leone lack of appeal was sad to me because she came after Priya Rai and she was hyped up as the one who would take Priya down as the new Indian pornstar, but she couldn't even compete with her.
It would have to be Jenna Haze and Lisa Ann. Jenna has always been a great performer but I've just never found her that attractive. Maybe I just been crazy but her look just don't do it for me. Lisa Ann I've always found attractive but not really someone that really stands out from the rest of the crowd not even in her younger days. She has become a big star since reinventing herself as probably one of the most popular MILFs ever but if I honest I perfer her in her younger days . Blatant agesism, I know.
Yeah, it's kinda hard to explain but she's just one of those girls I think is very pretty but I don't find sexy for some reason. Jenna Haze would be another. I think Jenna is very pretty and a great performer but her sex appeal doesn't click with me. There are mainstream actresses I feel the same way about like Jessica Alba and Nicole Kidman.

With you 100% on Tori - The only scene I remember liking is an EA scene with Alexis Texas and Charley Chase......I only like the tease.
I'm sure there are some performers that never did much for me but I've never really given it much thought so I'd be hard pressed to name even one. What I will say is that I have a list of criteria's that decide whether I will or will not enjoy a performer. Most of my criteria's are based on the performer in a specific scene rather than general observations. I might find a performer to be both attractive and a great performer in general but still not enjoy her in a specific scene because of what she looked like in that scene or what she did in it. That said there is one current performer that does nothing for me and it's Bonnie Rotten. She has a beautiful face and I'm sure she gives it her all in every scene she does so she would normally be on my list of girls to keep track of but I cannot watch a woman with so much ink on her body. I'm glad that she has been able to carve a place for herself in these hard times but I know that I will never be able to watch anything she does. Edited by - pat362 on 1/19/2014 11:35:37 AM

+1 On Bonnie Rotten. I'm very much into "tat" girls - I love Adrenalyn, Scarlet Pain, Texas Presley,Misti Dawn, many of the girls on Burning Angel - but Ms. Rotten does nothing for me. She seems to be incredibly popular though at moment. I don't get it. I think with me, its like you - too much ink.
we are two on Chastity here. About Tori Black , well I felt the same about her it looked like she was pushed for commercial reasons , too good looking to be really into porn so I avoided her at first. Then I happened to know she was Tee Reel's girlfriend in real life , so I watched her scenes with him , it's different when you know the performers really are into each other even when they act a bit for the audience, it was then that I begin to see something else than the usual doll looking for easy money, she was all the way in, then I saw her in Pretty Filthy and especially her scene with Marie Luv and Ice Cold , just incredible even if she claimed privately to be acting all the time (according to Kristina Rose) she looked so much into the scene and into him that it is rather difficult to believe she was acting. Now she's among my favourites

+2 Can't watch her scenes, can't even look at her from the neck down without wincing. Dumbfounded that AVN made her POTY. Don't know who the target demographic is for porn anymore; not me, apparently.
Hope you're not referring to me , I don't know why but you often end replying just after me and I get confused , for example I just said I like Chastity and Tori , plus I like you and your works and I even agree with your statement here to those who don't , I quoted it for enhancement of the concept. I assume it's not for me.

Yeah, Bonnie doesn't really do it for me either....A couple others are Lisa Ann and Asa Akira. Again, I'm not trying to be a dick(believe me I wouldn't kick them out of my bed), but I don't quite get the hype surrounding them.

The whole tattoo thing isn't a look I'm particularly interested in. All things being equal, I'd prefer no ink, but Bonnie Rotten is awesome. She's gorgeous, and a great and versatile performer.
That's interesting because in my opinion from what I've seen girl's scenes with their boyfriend or spouses usually aren't their best work for some reason. You'd think those scenes would be the best because they have actual feelings for each other but I've never thought scenes with actual couples are either performer's best work.
^ lol why lock this thread? there is no one bashing the performers.

lol, I highly doubt Dana would lose any sleep over a few guys not into her scenes...she's a seasoned performer and seen it all. Locking this thread when there's absolutely nothing real negative being said by anyone, is absolutely retarded. I am glad people are actually speaking up and talking about this as obviously there are a lot of people who feel the same way about certain individuals. Same goes in life. Hell, there are people who love Angelina Jolie and never liked Jen. Aniston, then there are people who feel the other way around. I absolutely adore Tori Black, ever since the first scene I saw of hers, but there are people who don't feel the same way...eventhough she's still perhaps the most loved Porn Star ever overall. Yet, no one is offended or crying. Get my point? :)
I'm not sure it was her best work especially because it was early in her career and she was somehow inexperienced, but she clearly was into him , also it was an IR scene , you never know who do that for the money or because she actually likes black guys, she likes them and this was the main difference. Same for Lola Foxx with her husband in How to Train a Delinquent Teen , it was very apparent and I didn't know they were married back then Another favourite of mine I discovered was very much into black guys it was Trinity Post she performed a lot with her BF D Wize at first and almost only with him then she hooked up with Shorty Mac and worked almost only with him , she was a hell of a performer and gave amazing performances with them both
Right , my fault , fact is that I completely overlooked her name in there , I couldn't even imagine her name there to the point my brain just erased it while reading
that was clearly in response to the person who said they never got into me because they'd rather watch bobbi starr. but guess who's still here? ME. so their fucking loss. i keep it real. i am the best. and nobody compares to me.

^ Dana, are you still working? You're one of the greatest "performers" in porn history! Edited by - IRLover91 on 1/20/2014 7:40:34 PM
Yeah IRlover please don't refer to the girls as sluts. That's something you can say to a girl during sex, but not while having a conversation on an internet board.

Thank you Bill! I totally get the OP's premise. I've had similar thoughts (i.e. attractive popular girls that do nothing for me) for many years. Bill, I hope that when the trolls make their run at destroying this topic, with rude and insulting remarks about the girls, that it can be moderated away (i.e. deleting posts and deactivating as appropriate), instead of closing the thread. Calling a girl "attractive and popular, but does nothing for me" is not insulting, far from it. And, discussed by grownups, should be very interesting. Related discussion... Girls that never get the "fan worship" discussion, yet are your hot-button favorites that you find attractive, sexy and appealing.

^ I didn't mean it in an offensive way, but I changed it.
it's ok if you want to call me a slut as a compliment. it makes me feel like I'm not sitting at home with cats wearing yoga pants watching modern family reruns. :P

^ I love ya, Dana. You're a legend when it comes to anal work.
Is that Dana de Armond giving the rimjob?Wow. I still recall the Dana scene with Tory where they were going at each other wet and wild for Brazzers i think.I wish both of them got together to have more nasty sex like that. OT and i have to say that i don't like girls who are totally tattooed up.A few tats look nice but not the whole body.But i am sure there are people who like exactly that type of body art so to each his own.
