How did it get to be SSSSSO common place? Are "customers" that DON'T like it in the minority? Were those who LIKE it "in the closet" and have only recently "come out" ("in DROVES"), forcing the "studios" to "act" if they wanted to make money/stay compeditive/stay in business/not go bankrupt? Will NON-"rough" sex "movies" become a speciality/"fetish" genre and thusly something that HAS to be "special ordered" from one's local sex shop or a "webstore" if you want to rent or buy NON-"rough" sex "movies" AT ALL? Avoiding "rough" sex "movies" is tough enough as it is at the moment, what's the future of "movies" going to be like? Where will it end? When will someone "put their foot down"? Will people who DON'T like "rough" sex "movies" be forced out of the mainstream all together?

The sales figures will probably do the talking more than a forum board like this.
I don't think the non-rough sex lovers wll be forced out of the mainstream. They may just not be the 'vocal' ones.
I agree with Don, but personally I enjoy the more rough movies....dont worry Vivid will always be aroud.

I tire of these flippant responses. You can have quality, intense 1-on-1 sex without all the gagging, choking, slapping, etc.
Just cause we don't want "rough" sex does not mean that we do not desire seeing well shot scenes with anals, facials, etc. Indeed, a lot of the Vivid stuff bores me as much as it does you I imagine.
For example, some of Peter North's "North Pole" and "Anal Addicts" scenes have all the raincoater sex, but without all the rough stuff.
There are plenty of couples themed porn titles available from studios such as Vivid, Wicked, Adam and Eve, etc. Not to mention all the classics derived from the past twenty years.
Rough sex titles, or those that have at least some element therein, are more popular today than ever, that is true. But I also highly doubt it will become the standard. There will always be people who like it and people who do not, the market will produce what the consumer wants. And since there will always be varying points of view, you will always be able to find what you want. Cheers.
I agree. Not everyone likes couples porn or Vivid, so what are they to do?
I just quit watching gonzo/all-sex titles entirely. Not that there aren't some without this element, it's just that it has gotten so common. Even in series that were fine, all of a sudden you're looking at spitting, choking, slapping, girls getting their head stepped on.
There's over 40 sub-genres listed, but no 'rough sex' designation. My guess is that the job would be overwhelming.

I LOVE, rough sex, example=brandon iron, throat gaggins is such a huge turn on for me!!!
+1 I don't buy anything from the gonzo companies anymore either. Rough stuff is standard for them now, so they don't give any warning.
Sometime during 2003-04 or thereabouts something changed, and seemingly all movies put out by the gonzo companies, even movies whose titles give no suggestion that they might contain any rough stuff, are full of new inexperienced girls getting completely overrun by the usual thugs. Zzzzzz.
It's not just RLD/PXP. The press releases and cover texts from the smaller newcomers sound exactly the same. Big company Evil Angel seems to be just the same too.
Looking at Elegant Angel's latest trailers and cast lists, they're doing the same. Even the next Squirtwoman will propably read "Watch these ********* ****** get throatfucked, assreamed, and squeezed so hard they squirt."
I gave DVSX a chance but got burned there too.
No more. I'm just not willing to risk any more money on those companies.
Where to find porn without this crap? Well, I've found no other way than to stick with the big feature companies (some of them put out gonzo too) or older titles. And I don't mean Vivid. I stay away from them too, for other reasons.
That does require a tolerance for condoms.
It may also mean missing out on even those of the newer starlets who don't come off as naive exploited teens, but actually seem to know that they're doing.
Where would one go to see a movie with a girl like Christie Lee, who's both very cute and sounds like shes got her career under control? I haven't a clue. There may be some movies with her that are just fine, but as they're from companies that put in rough bits without warning and reviews don't mention it anymore, I'm not willing to chance it.

what exactly do you guys consider abusive in porn? a man slapping a womans ass during intercourse?
Please. I know girls that like the ass slapped during intercourse. No, what I have seen is breast slapping, face slapping, repeated ass slapping, or extra hard slapping. Choking is the worst - Gonzo movie, with some poor pale looking euro girl, just plain brutal, it was a cream pie movie too, with rough play of the vagina. Can't remember the movie. Crazy stuff.
Yes, I would have to concur with you on that one. I sure as hell wouldn't tolerate someone putting their dirty ass foot on my head. I'm also not a fan of spitting in the girl's face. If some guy did that to me, I'd slap the taste right out of his mouth.

I agree with you guys - both things disgust me as well. Though, if not in favor, I'm not all against GG-spitting as one of the other threads touches upon..

This is the crux of it. They think that rough sells because people who don't want it just stopped buying anything. And copycats churn out the releases at a ridiculous pace.
I think that the comments from DB and KPerv represent a HUGE market that is barely being served. It now takes a ton of marketing to reach that market.
If someone has the wherewithal please start a list of movies with intense sex without head stomping.
Photographic porn has long depended on the "I can't believe I'm seeing real living people doing that" as it's primary appeal. I can't believe I'm seeing a real live woman suck cock, I can't believe I'm seeing a real live woman get fucked in the ass, etc.
When photographic porn was hard to get, the I-can't-believe factor was probably enough. Unfortunately, most pornographers can't conceive of how to make depictions of sex compelling without the I-can't-believe factor, so they're forced to continuously up the ante: double, triple, spitting, choking, etc. Of course all these things can be very, very hot when properly contextualize, but that takes talent and hard work. The I-can't-believe gambit is easy. It's also easy to overdo.
And man oh man is it being over done. In a few short years we've gone from "I can't believe what I'm seeing" to "I can't believe that anyone actually finds watching this enjoyable."
I think Steph is right, I think there is an underserved market made up of people like DB and Kperv. Is it vast? Who knows? I'm pretty sure that a whole lot of people got laid last night and there wasn't any spitting, choking, gaping or throat fucking (well maybe a little throat fucking . Of all these people who got laid last night (with no spitting, choking, gaping or throat fucking), I'd bet a few of them wouldn't mind seeing a well-produced video that depicted an idealized version of sex the way they enjoy it. I'd bet they'd like that a lot.
Just how many such people there are is the $64K question.

I'll chime in here only because I do see some intense scenes without rough stuff. Can I name them? No, but that's not the point
My wife and I like rough sex in our personal lives so it's naturally something I like/want to see. Now I have seen rough sex scenes I didn't like, a Nacho scene comes to mind...
As for the head stomping, I don't dig that either. Slapping, spitting and choking I do like. And as for gagging, as in throat fucking, I'm not really keen on, but I can stand it more than head stomping.
My personal view on this is that, yes this is a male driven industry, but I can't image all these girls letting guys 'beat them up' (which I don't agree that these girls are getting abused...). Personally I think some of these girls like rough sex - examples, Christie Lee and Melissa Lauren, both have stated they like rougher sex. Hell, i just watched Angels of Debauchery #3 and Christie actually tells Joaquim Kessef to choke her several times!
This is a very controversial subject anymore.... I still say there's no right or wrong on this subject, just preference.
To answer the question at hand, I have no idea how it became so popular. My only guess is that it was going on and no one complained.
P.S. Couldn't it be said Zero Tolerance is on the safe list? For what ever reason I can't recall any of the aforementioned things appearing thin their movies - at least not often.
I think Simon Wolf director Robert Herrera is against Choking. Because i have seen 11 SW movies, No Choking in those. And also i have read several reviews from wcareviews.com and cavr.com, and looks like all Simon Wolf movies from Robert are Choking free.
And sometimes in BTS we see that Robert wanna make sure that there is no gagging. And only close to gagging thing i have seen in SW movies was in some flick where girl did blow guy and did take it little bit too deep, Guy did not force her or anything.
I think i have seen some butt slapping in those, but no face or tits slapping, and even butt slapping was not that hard.

And that is one reason I put that in my reviews. I know some like it and some hate it, but at least you KNOW it's in there. I do try to mention rough sex as well, but tit and face slapping I don't consider rough unless it escalates, in which case I note it. Face slapping I would consider closer to rough than tit slapping though... Also, my good friend Den (www.cavr.com) is with you on the choking thing, I know he won't rate a movie of a certain rating (8.50 on his scale) if it even happens once!
My understanding of GONZO is, that it is more like a reportage and not a movie. Real sex filmed! You can have a nice setup, but don't direct the sex.
In my movies I fuck the girls as if I would do without a camera. And many girls like it rough. You will not see me slapping or choking a girl against her will.
I might drive away some customers and loose some revenue, but I don't want to compromise on the sex.
I believe that the often flamed Max Hardcore was the grandfather of this genre in the U.S. It seems that he started the massive facials, gapes, ATM, throat gagging and alot of other "rougher" stuff that is now common in many films. Much of this type of activity has been common in Euro films well before it became popular in the US.

I'll agree to that but I don't see Steve and the likes pissing in the girls mouth. Another thing Max has done I have never liked was the overly made up school-girl look. Not saying it was wrong, just saying it's not my bag
Personally I think Max has every right to make what he does, I just don't dig it.
I am not endorsing, condoning or defending what Max does by any mean. I just believe that from my years of viewing porn it seems that he started gonzo in the US. Similarly the equally flamed Ed Powers started the whole amateur/interview type films in my opinion.
It's like this, rough sex is becoming the norm in porno. You gotta ask why? Currently the Gonzo thing is in overkill, half, if not all really sets the scenes up to degrade. Yes, even Steve's movies, I have seen them. You try to get off on them, then you see the girl tossed around like a ragdoll. Kinda makes you think, how many girls would really liked to be treated like that. The problem is, GONZO is meant to portray a kinda reality, not fantasy. If it all was about fantasy, then that would explain the reasons behind it, but since it's based on a reality perspective, or as Steve put "reportage" feel - that can be disturbing.
Don't get me wrong, I know and have known girls that like it rough. But there is a line. Sometimes I think Gonzo type porno crosses it. Also, I aint some puritan.
No! I'm talkin' stuff like: face slapping, mouth to face spitting, what I believe is called "hooking", a "guy" leading a "girl" from one location to another by her hair (hair pulling?), a "guy" puttin' his dick in a "girls" ass before her ass is ready and before she wants him to(read: PAIN!!), "double choking", a "guy" forcing a "girls" head under the water while they are fucking (read: Nacho Vidal in one of his "No Limits" titles), "head stomping", when a "girl" appears (she gives looks and or body language) to be being forced to do something she DOESN'T want to do and or is having something forced upon her, punching, and kicking etc..
Some "girls", seeing this trend towards "rough sex" and wanting to either just plain get work and or be popular with the fans WILL lie and SAY they like "rough sex" when really they DON'T like it.

Well some of the things you don't like I don't like either... Like the body language thing, or the water shit.. I already said I don't like head stomping.
As for the girls wanting work and lying, well, that's on them. If they say OK to it, and that's what the company/director is after, then it's fair game to me. Most can stop a scene if something goes too far or is not right. Many have done it and here recently there was a thread about Chanel Chavez stopping an anal scene because she couldn't take it. For example, Brandon Iron is one of the guys I know who does rougher stuff, but cares for girls. He always asking if they are OK and so on. I just don't think rough sex means they don't care for the girl. I still stand firm on my ground of is she says it's OK, then it's OK... I know it's not the popular thing here to be on the side of rough sex, but that's OK, the way I see it, it's just difference in opinion.
I don't have any numbers for the general public. The girls I meet to fuck are mostly very actively promiscuous swinger or porn girls. Amongst them there are a lot . I just worked with this new 18 year old teenager and she told me before the scene: "I really like it rough. I don't care if there will be bruises or marks". Unfortunately for her the director didn't wanted to have any rough stuff in his movie. So I fucked her some more after the scene and slapped her around. She thanked me for that, because the sex without is just not satisfying for her.
In my movies I wouldn't shoot a scene like this. I want to see the girl really getting off.
Sounds crazy, but it happens all the time. I've had to cut out a lot of footage where the girl has taken it too far, or I have had to stop things knowing I couldn't use the footage anyway. This is not to say that on some occasions, some girls are coerced into doing certain things they may not want to do, but it happens FAR less than many people on the outside think.
When I entered this business just over 3 years ago, I expected to see a bunch of lost chicks being taken advantage of. I could not have been more wrong. I'm still amazed at how much control so many of these women have over their sexual desires and their bodies. I think it's just a different era/generation, and it's a very new mentality that many find it difficult to relate to.
Maybe you're right there Mason, I guess at 18, I knew I liked sex but I don't think I was sophisticated enough or hadn't fine tuned my sexual tastes enough to know if stuff like rough sex was for me or not. Maybe it's just an impression but young women seem to know sooner what it is they want or need, I'm fine with that -- maybe there's more on the menu on offer nowadays and it doesn't take as long to find out what is for you? Perhaps young women are more willing to speak up and ask for what they want, who knows?
Skeeter you are absolutely right. I just think this wild girls are not representing the society. Maybe this is a special mindset why they started porn. I heard from many girls that their sex life before porn was boring.
I also realized a change in the type of girls in the 8 years I'm doing it. Everybody in the business wants to make money, but there are more and more girls who really enjoy the sex on set. And it pays off. Their attitude make them so popular and successful.
Don't really know how it got so popular. Rough sex is possibly my least favorite thing. I hate hair pulling, slapping, men putting their feet on a girls head and all that other stuf. A playful slap on a girl's face or ass is ok. I'm seen a guy slap a woman's face lightly just for fun while she was DPd and she was laughing and smiling about it. Choking I just cant stand. It's the worst. Then with this Rocco guy you have him sticking his dick in a girls mouth while he even plugs her nose. I avoid Rocco films like the plague. Just too rough for me in most cases.
Have any of you seen the Rough Blowjob titles they sell in Japan? Those have got to be the absolute worst, but most people who are into rough sex would love them. Makes the "Gag Factor" series look really tame. I believe it's called the Compulsive Oral Sex Slave series. Nothing truly horrible, but I kind of feel sorry for the woman in them.
Strangely...I absolutely hate rough sex but I LOVE Japanese Bondage. Most all the Japanese Bondage I've seen doesn't have any actual sex in it though. Anything in bondage involving REAL non-consentual pain is just sick and wrong for me. A little discomfort is ok, that's kind of expected.
There's just something artistic in a way with how Japanese Bondage is done. I've seen american and european bondage and it's just so sick and wrong. It's all about pain and that's it it seems. Just not my kind of thing.
I , personally , love to see sex get very intense and even a little agressive with lots of spitting. I also like to see gagging but not when the girl is forced. I want her to crave it and look like she loves it.
On the other hand , when I see slapping of any kind , hair pulling , choking , or a man stepping on a girl's head , I get very turned off and very pissed off.
When I see a man slapping a woman during sex , I wish that I could get into the scene and put his fucking head through the wall.
Intensity is great but alot of porn is just getting too rough , I find.
Time to turn the tables!!! 2 weeks ago, while Bridgette was directing one of her movies, the girls in every sex scene, starting beating on the guys. The guys were slapped, hair was pulled, they were spit on, Sandra Romain was cracking the guys in the face with a folded magazine. Now if you would have jumped in and stopped it, Sandra Romain would have wanted to put your head thru a wall. If you jumped in on Melissa Lauren, Sandra Romain, Audrey Hollander or Bridgette Kerkove while getting it rough, they would put your head thru a wall and cut off your penis. They and about 40 other girls here in porn valley where we live and work demand it rough! Real rough! If you are not full throttle off camera, they want Nothing to do with you! The real hardcore directors are making more money then ever! Why??? Because of the porn fans eating it up like crazy! The opinions of 30 people on this board mortified by rough sex, "Do Not represent" what is making the big bucks. Especially more so on the Internet, the Internet is completely worldwide and the Future. DVD's are gone in 7 years or less! The mellow DVD's are a dime a dozen, real hardcore is a gift from God!!! We are free Americans, we are shooting what we like, when we like! We love our liberty!!! I answer to nobody! I film what I love and it sells worldwide! Never less then 4 to 5 times per week, beautiful porn girls call me, telling me how rough and hardcore they want their next scene to be!!! Skeeter Kerkove "King of Sodom" God Bless Khan Tusion, God Bless Meatholes and God Bless the outlaw of love "Frank WanK" Porn producer, director, performer. I am a huge fan of hardcore porn

I see that there is yet another thread pertaining to rough sex in porn. Although I seem to be in the minority here, I have to be the one to say that I LOVE the rough sex in porn. Yes, I know, call me a perverted jerk if you will, but in my opinion, the rougher the scene the better. The same things that have been criticized so much on this board, I find to be great in porn. For example, I love seeing the guy step on the girl's head or lay his foot on top of her face as he fucks her, preferably in the ass. I also enjoy seeing the guy spit into the girl's face, especially when he makes her leave it on her face and not wipe it off. I also like the face-slapping, choking, puking, rough anal, name-calling, verbal humiliation, bringing the girl to tears, etc. I love all that stuff. Furthermore, I anticipate seeing the envelope get pushed even further than what it already is.
Although alot of people on here complain about rough sex being overdone, I think it's the other way around. There is still plenty of plain straight vanilla porn being made out there for people who wish to see it, in fact more than rough sex as far as I can see. I wish more directors would place rougher scenes in their films because, as far as I have seen, there aren't nearly enough to satisfy the growing market of consumers (like myself) who wish to see them. Therefore, I encourage the directors to make more rough/female degradation scenes.
Additionally, I've noticed that a major criticism among people who don't like rough scenes is that they imply that the girls are being "forced" to do things they don't want to do. To the contrary, the girls who appear in these movies are not your pure and innocent girl next-door, neither are they your sweet and wholesome church-girl types. No indeed, they are Porn Whores, many of whom will tell you from their very own mouths that they enjoy what they do. Despite what so may posters on here tend to think, these girls do not want to be saved, neither do they feel they are being exploited (even though they are). I cannot recall how many porn scene interviews I've seen when the girl herself talks about how much she loves being treated like a piece of shit, which is made even more obvious by the fact that so many of these girls repeatedly return to do similar scenes involving roughness. They appear to get off on it, probably even more than their male counterparts do. Some of these girls even finish their scenes with huge smiles on their faces, proclaiming how much they loved it. Moreover, I've seen several interviews in which porn chicks will talk about boyfriends they've had, before entering the business, who put them on pedestals and treated them like pristine goddesses. Yet and still, these girls left their doting boyfriends (oftentimes because they say their boyfriends weren't "aggressive" enough and were pussies when it came to trying rough sex) only so they can go work for porn and get the kind of treatment from these porn guys that their boyfriends wouldn't give to them. Needless to say, porn whores are a special breed. Therefore, I don't really feel that alot of these girls have to really be "forced" into doing anything, but they do it because they like it. And even if they don't like it, what's the difference? They still do it, and they still get a paycheck. So, as an ardent fan of the "rough stuff" in porn, I say keep it coming, and that it can only get better the rougher it gets.
If the girls are beating on a guy instead , that's fine with me. It's about time they take a beating and get humiliated instead of always the girls. In that case , I would jump into the scene and cheer them on , then have my way with all of them... if they would have me ???? Probably not !!!!
Regardless of the sales , I don't like that stuff , Skeeter ! To me , it's a turn off... but if that's the way it's going then What can I do , except voice my opinion , such as on this forum.
If all Gonzo gets this way , then I suppose I will just stop watching it !!!! No turn on , no interest !! Hopefully , a different genre will emerge with alot of intensity minus the rough stuff.
I can get turned on my classy fashionphotography, old erotic films like Emmanuelle etc... but when it comes to porn all that wonderful style that fuels my immagination is gone and what's left is the documentary action, and to keep my interest it needs so be at least pretty hard... but I like it when the girl performs actively, when she gags herself or performs some really hard reverse cowboy anal. If a guy asks if the girl is doing ok is also something I like, especially when the girl replies that she'd like it harder.
I'm sure some girls can enjoy being dominated and treated in rough ways, but I like when the girl slaps back or somehow shows that she isn't just a victim of male agression... I can get turned on by it at the moment... but afterwards I think it's just plain wrong.
There will always a limit to what we can take I think, at some point most of us will be disgusted and not becoming desensitized.
the problem is that there almost non of this kind of rough sex (when the girl dominate the guy)in porn today (except of joey silvera). it's about time that u and other directors will shoot rough sex with the girls as the aggressors. i'm sure there is a huge demand for this (i don't have to tell u how popular joey silvera is). i think the problem is the males actor's ego that won't let a girl slap them or spit on then or whatever treats them the same as they treat her , and all u directors should make them (not force of cource) doing it the same way u ask the girls to take 2 cocks in their ass.
now ,can u please tell us the name of that movie of bridgette (i hope she will not edit out all those beautiful moments u mentioned)
Which is fine. But why do scenes with girls, who are not into this, have to be rough too? For every Melissa or Kami who get off on this, there must be other girls who don't.
A few of my favourite female performers have quit the business in the last couple of years. Of course, I can't know why they've quit. But isn't it feasible the increased roughness, they're apparently expected to submit to in gonzo flicks, may have played a role in their decision?
Perhaps girls who can't get enough work with the feature companies, choose to seek other employment rather than get put through the ringer like that.
All pure speculation on my part of course.
Are they all eating it because they love it? Or are some just eating it because it's all there is, if they want wall to wall sex without condoms. Just because somebody tolerates it, doesn't mean they wouldn't actually prefer the movies were a bit gentler.
Vivid seem to do all right, despite their getting slammed repeatedly by quite a few ADT'ers. Including me actually.
Again speculation.
Do the opinions of 30 people on this board enamoured with rough sex?
How is this relevant? I don't really see rough sex dominating the Internet. There are tons of sites with everything from amateur sex to glamour solo shoots that don't feature the slightest hint of rough stuff. Some of those site have 'Valium' sex scenes so slow they make Red Shoe Diaries look like... well, something you'd make.
Good for you. (That's not meant sarcastically, in case it comes across that way.) I just wish nearly every other gonzo director wasn't going for the same thing.
Ah well, no matter. Luckily for me, I have no problem at all with condoms for penetration, so I'm able to find plenty of porn I like without the gonzo companies output.
If I did have a problem with condoms, I suppose I'd be limited to Kick Ass Pictures these days. Even Zero Tolerance surprised me with Drive Thru. Haven't bought a ZT movie since. ::shrug::
I think most "rough sex" in today's porn is a misguided means of trying to produce something that actually looks like it has chemistry and intensity. Roughness is far easier to create on screen than real magic is. In reality at it's very best, most rough sex for rough sex's sake is a cheap attempt to create an image of something that isn't there.
I don't think Joey Silvera is so popular solely because he sometimes reverses the roles. I think he's popular because he manages to create some semblance of SUBSTANCE underneath the intensity in his scenes that takes it to a different level. The same can be said for Rocco, Nacho, and of course, John Sagliano. You can't make great porn by just stuffing a cock as far down a girl's throat as it will go. You have to make me believe that, for the participants (BOTH participants preferrably), there's something BEYOND just going through those motions.
It can all be faked. That's fine by me. As long as I believe it, it doesn't matter. By the same token, it could be as real as it gets to the perfomers as they are doing it, but if it looks fake to me, that's an equally large problem. Skeeter getting on here and telling us that the girls love every second of it doesn't make one bit of difference from an aesthetic standpoint. That knowledge alone is not going to convince me to like his work any more. I need to see it, or at least a convincing illusion of it, in the final product.
I think too many producers try to replace the much HARDER to achieve "chemistry and intensity" with the much more immediate and cheap "roughness" factor. When operating at their very best, Joey Silvera, Rocco, Nacho, and, when he wants to, Stagliano can somehow manage to actually achieve BOTH--a rare feat indeed.
I'd really like to see more variety in gonzo / all sex porn. It's not that I have any problems with rough sex, it's just that very little sex in porn seems to be aspiring to anything more than outdoing the other guy on the most superficial levels anymore. I wish producers could take a step back and start from the beginning. What is it about sex that turns us on? Although still certainly a valid part of it, there's so many other places that that question can lead us than balls to the wall "roughness".
Don't forget that film/video porn is founded on the shock of seeing people actually having sex. Nearly all of porn's aesthetic development is anchored to the idea that people, and most especially women actually fucking on camera is the most sexually brazen, transgressive consensual sex act a person could possibly commit. This is a very narrow, puritanical view of both sexuality and cinema, and cleaving to this view creates a myopic view of what's possible when depicting moving images of explicit sexuality.
You have to figure most directors/producers are so jaded to "normal" sex, they just dont have the urge to watch/film it. They want something that turns them on and non-rough sex just ain't doing it for them. Granted the sales of rough-sex movies are up there, but I believe that 1st and foremost its what the director likes to see is what hes going to sell.
If there is enough commotion about non-rough sex movies, someone will be smart and pop one out and ses how it sells, if he doesn't get what he expects, he'll just not make another... or you can always hope for a start up company to start shooting "plain jane" sex acts.
As someone said in this thread, its a new generation/era and give it 5 years, you'll be complaining about something worse than "rough sex".
Alot of this also has to do with what has become the standard. Since anal has become the standard , most videos focus on anal sex so those who don't care for anal will tolerate it anyways. The same goes for gagging , spitting , and DP's. Many people don't like these acts but they are being used in so many productions nowadays that people have become accustomed to them. Naturally , sales are up because every company is doing it but it doesn't mean that all customers like these things .. and many people don't need to hear that crap about "if you don't like it ...just don't buy it " !! G/G videos have gone the way of the dildo , replacing muff diving,kissing , tit sucking ,etc.! Oh , but sales are up on the dildo plunging !! Well , if all we could get is a tiny bit of something we like , we will still buy or rent because that's all there is. If rough sex becomes the standard , what will come after that ? Yes I know ... even rougher sex .. and so on .. !!
There are some people,like me , who don't like soft sex ( ex. Vivid ). I want something very intense and that doesn't have to mean violent or overly rough. Spitting ,gagging, urinating. That's just messy , not necessarily violent.
Unfortunately rough sex is the norm in porn at the moment. But we shouldn't confuse rough porno sex, with mutually consented rough sex in the home. I don't think porn is duplicating that. Instead it's a portrayal of overall dominance of the women in porn.
Also what is next? I mean if it's becoming like a wrestling match, or some sado machostic hammering of a woman - where is it going to go? It's bordering on violence now.
In the non porno world, I heard about this guy and girl having intense (rough) sex and she broke his dick - going at it too hard. So, if girls were rougher in porn, could the guys be more vulnerable, regarding their dicks?
