This issue has been discussed here before. I'd like to really get into it here though.

1) Euro chicks look better. They are healthier, more trim, and have natural boobs for the most part. They have less tattoos, wrinkles and tend not to cake their makup. They just look more fresh and nubile. On the other hand most American porn girls look like they just stepped out of the trailer park. Most Euro chicks look like they just stepped off the runway.

2) Euro chicks do it all. Not only are they hot, but they do everything. They attack anal and a2m with a passion rarely seen in American porn, particularly from the top stars. Euro chicks aren't afraid to swallow, and don't balk at interacial sex. When was the last time you heard a Euro go on about how her family was fine with porn as long as she stayed away from the darkies?

3) Euro sex is shot and lit better. Good cinematic angles, not a ridiculous amount of POV (which is just cheap one man camera work) and very little washout. The skin tones are almost always matched to the lighting so that fair skinned chicks are radiant, and tan chicks glow a golden brown.

4) Euro dudes keep wood. Nuff said.

5) Euro flix don't waste time. They get right to it. A little intro of the chick, and then BAM into the sex. Not 20 minutes of a close up on some guy yaking about bullshit. Which brings us to...

6) Euro flix focus on the chick. They don't spend half the scene with the camera right in the guys face talking trash while he's fucking. They show plenty of the chick's facial expression (which I like) and balance it with penetration. The guy is just a tool.

7) Euro flix avoid stupid themes. You see far less of this clown makeup and stupid crack-whore themes. The silly interracial and anal themes are also avoided. "Stop my ass is on fire". WTF is that? And then they actually the chick saying this ridiculous nonsense.

8) Euro flix are less degrading. For some reason punching, slapping, and horrid name calling have become popular in American porn. Max Hardcore is likely the impetus for this trend. If you're doggy fucking a chick and you put your foot on her head, something is wrong with you. There is nothing at all sexy about that. Or gagging a chick until she pukes. That's just gross.


So, I'm staying Euro for awhile. At least until the American product shows some improvement...

Army of one, Hooah!

The women are in American porn, or porn filmed by American companies.

All a matter of taste, isn't it?

1) Euro chicks look better.
Some Euro girls are extremely hot.
The same can be said for some US girls.

The average age of East European girls is maybe a bit lower, but that's not an advantage in my book; the younger girls, Euro and US, are also often too insecure and/or malleable for my tastes.

2) Euro chicks do it all.
And I very much wish they didn't.

3) Euro sex is shot and lit better.
Varies a lot. Just like in US porn.

4) Euro dudes keep wood. Nuff said.
I rarely see guys having much trouble getting wood, regardless of which side of the pond they're from.

But you may have a point. It does seem like more US guys have to jack off for minutes on end to cum. There are exceptions though.

5) Euro flix don't waste time.
I prefer features and vignettes. Europeans make those too.
Most Gonzo, Euro or US, is too cold and robotic for me.

6) Euro flix focus on the chick.
Varies from movie to movie.

7) Euro flix avoid stupid themes.
You haven't seen all that much Euro porn, if you think stupid themes are unheard of in Euro porn.

8) Euro flix are less degrading.
I agree with your distaste for the ridiculous degrading crap that has invaded US Gonzo.
But once again, you must have had a limited exposure to Euro porn, if you haven't come across degrading movies, that make even Max Hardcore's recent shite look like a luvvy-duvvy soft-core production.

I like Euro porn for lingerie and fancy clothes, and for solo and g/g fisting. But I don't think either American or European porn is better than the other in every single respect. They are what they are.

I really wish that there was even more mixing of American and Euro talent and directors than there already is. I mean, there already are people like Monica Sweetheart, Rita Faltoyano, Melissa Lauren, Katsumi, and guys like Steve Holmes who work in SoCal frequently, in some cases far more than in Europe, and there are American-based directors who will make road trips to Europe and other parts of the world to film the local talent, but not every Euro star can get the work visas to come to the US and not every American director makes those road trips. So not every performer gets the chance to work with every great director, and American performers working with Euro directors is extremely rare. I would like to see some of my favorite Euro girls in g/g or g/g/b scenes with my favorite American girls, but it's not likely to happen.

I prefer eastern european women as well. They are so beautiful and don't have a list of things they don't want to do. They do it all with a smile.

One thing annoys the hell out of me: American girls don't suck cock. They either gag on the cock or they guy is forcing his cock so deep in her throat that the girl almost pukes. I don't think that's sexy at all. Let the girl suck and stroke the cock in stead.

You must not have seen a wide variety of Euro porn? I've seen quite a few rough titles, featuring a number of acts that are simply not shot in the US for legal reasons.

Max Hardcore is one of a kind, his product is shot in the US, and is edited to meet the US laws. The unedited stuff is labeled "Euro" and sold in the US at a higher price. He is not that stupid, he is controversial and makes money by being so. But I have seen far worse than what Max has delivered in German titles.

I am biased towards the US because it's the only country I've ever lived in and it's the only country I want to live in, despite numerous flaws. So while Euro porn is great, I'd still prefer US over it.

The girls are better, or were better 1-2 years ago.
The guys are much much much better.
I wouldn't say the movies are particularly better though. The Euro porn i like is what i'd call semi-euro or made by American directors.
The attitude to making porno is much betetr in Europe.

I'm just going to add some of my thoughts here

There are plenty of hot American chicks too... As for as the boobs go, I'll agree and couldn't agree more - I detest them. Tats I dig though.

I don't need every girl to go all the way and there are plenty of girls doing IR in America. I thing your just seeing a select group and applying it to ALL the girls. I'm sure there are Euro girls who don't do IR. Now the biggest problem I have with this, is that I don't often see Euro girls with passion. Most I have seen looked very robotic - in fact I have talked with a director or two really don't like shooting them because of this.

I have seen some really shitty Euro porn and I have seen some really shitty American porn, all had issues with lighting and camera work. And of course on the opposite side of that I have seen some damn fin productions from both sides too.

I have seen Euro porn with some less than intelligent themes too.

I have seen plenty of head stomping in Euro porn, in fact I seen it there before I seen it in American porn - not saying they started it, but it's there too.

I don't like to make a clear cut, black & white, alliance to either side.

And that's the reason why I like American porn better with American girls. Most European girls are way too skinny for my taste. Most of them might be better looking like the Monica Sweetheart types but for me that's not enough it's about looks and body!

I find it wierd that interracial is even an issue in America let alone a taboo or niche.
I've seen loads of castings from Europe where american directors go through various questions concerning sex acts. They go, anal? dp?, internal?, group? and the girls are like yeah, yeah, yeah... Then they say interacial? The look on the girls' face always makes me chuckle. Its as if they think they don't understand or they've missed something.

The american interracial issue may not be a problem for Euro Girls. But I would like to see their reaction if they ask an Eastern Europe gal, if she would fuck a Sinti, a German girl if she would do a Turk, a French an Algerian and so on.
I'm not sure on this, but it could very well be that the European Girls divide in two pools of talent then too.

no
Im not taking anything from it cause it's all opinion, but I tend to like to watch only American girls, the exception is people who stand out like Sandra Romain and even Melissa Laurens early stuff.

Some videos I can only get with Euro girls and in the back of my head I think man I wish it was so and so doing that.

but I really havent watched much porn since I started so it may have shifted.

Depends. Some Euro girls are hotter than US girls and vice versa. I don't think there's a clear advantage on either side.
But I do tend to find that the US flicks that I've seen are more degrading than their European counterparts.
For example, I find "American Bukkake" to be more degrading than John Thompson's flicks.

No I don't think it's better, I will say at one time it was better and that was in the 90's .

As for are the girls better looking .
no ,there are beautiful girls on both sides of the pond
The euro girls seem to have the same body. American porn there seems to be more variety in the body types

I'll agree on the women. The women in American porn tend to be too Southern Californianized. There is more of a variety of looks with European women. Of course there will a substantial fanbase that prefer American women for the very same reason. As far as the films themselves, I believe the size of the budget and how much the directors and producers actually care about their product are much bigger factors to the quality of the film than what continent they were shot on. I'll agree that the rougher, pushed to the limit stuff is overdone but that will always come down to personal tastes, one man's degrading is another man's edgy. Given the same budget and professional passion the differences between the two are minimal.

No, European porn isn't just plain better. Nor are all European porn actresses stunning beauties in hot lingerie. In fact, most of them are not. However, we're fortunate that there is some good Euro porn, and even some great Euro porn to give us more opportunities to see some of the hotter European starlets.

PS - As far as the wood problem goes, I just assume that European directors don't see the point of leaving such footage in the final cut. I guess they lack some American directors' sense of humor, or maybe it's a need to belittle the talent. At any rate, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Interesting topic. As always, general commetns are hard to proof right or wrong. I believe the difference is not so much whether its European porn or European chicks vs US stuff, its much more good stuff versus bad stuff.

Thanks god enough good stuff is being produced at both sides of the pond. and if you take advise in this forum you're at liitle risk buying the bad stuff :-))

According to me Sinti reverts to Rroma or Gypsy: probably Sandra Romain (eg.) could shine a light on this.

I dont really like too many European girls. Save for Monica Sweetheart, Sylvia Saint(is she Euro?), Opearl, and most of the Euro Score girls[Sandra Romain is growing on me, she got ASS@I#)(*!!]. If a girl doesnt speak even a word in the scene its too weird for me.

Gimmie girls like Venus, Missy Monroe, Gia Paloma!!! Not to mention all the fine latinas and brazillian from central america, south america and the carribean!!!

For me there is no argument here.

Hungary alone, a 10 million country mind you, probably provides more top-self porn girls than all of the US.

Sinti=gypsy.

I didn't directly say they have something against them. The minorities I marked are the biggest in each country and are the counterpart to the african americans in the US. Just to compare the situation.

And since I've visited a friend of mine in Budapest twice in the last 8 months, I can tell for sure that some part of the population sadly has it's problems with the Sinti. Mostly men though.

Germany I can tell because I live here.

France? Never watched the news in the last year? They have some serious problems in their banlieues.

I should make it clear that #1 and #2 go together. The top Euro chicks will do things that the top US chicks won't. Namely Interracial and Anal. Because of that, I say Euros are better looking because most of the product produced by America's top females is boring and unwatchable. I mean, who really wants to see Jenna or Tera with some lame, tiny dude having sex so vanilla that the MPAA would give it an R rating?

Euros get the edge on looks because they produce MORE ACTUAL HARDCORE PORN than the top American girls, and LOOK BETTER than the American trailer tramps who actually do IR and Anal well and regularly.

In short, the American girls who look good are weak, and the ones who are nasty don't look good. With Euro chicks you get the best of both worlds.

Actually I came across the Pink'O Homepage and was flashed by their stable of contract girls.

Holy cow, they have signed some real firecrackers now!

Roberta Missoni is the hottest of them IMO. I'm dying to see her in her first flick, The Order.

ONe thing I don't like about Euro porn is that there rarely is any dirty-talk so the scenes seem more monotonous. I agree about the Euro girls being generally better looking though. There's an upside and a downside.

therefore, for me:

Euros = Americans


Just depends what flavor im looking for at a given time.

Shotgun, what specifically are you talking about when you say Euro porn?
Do you mean European produced porn? In which case, which studios are you watching?
Or do you mean Euro girls in US produced porn?

Several of the hottest stars of real European porn didn't jump in at the deep end, doing everything nasty under the sun from the get go, either.
Anja Laval seemed to prefer G/G, and Tyra Misoux saved her anal cherry for a while.
And the same goes for the hottest East European girls:
Sandra Shine is, AFAIK, still G/G only, and Sophie Moone's B/G to G/G ratio is pretty low too.

If a girl plans to stick around for a while, it only makes sense to save her first anal scene until she can command a higher fee for it.

I understand the economics. But the Devons and Jamesons of the world are supposed to be the best. Both have 10 years in the business and STILL don't make good porno. It has been lamented by many on this board that the top females, Vivid and Wicked girls in particular, will put you to sleep with their performances.

I am not saying that every Euro is better than every American. Nor am I saying that all Euro productions are better than all American productions. What I am saying is that IN GENERAL Euro porn is prettier, better shot, and less hung up on skin color and which holes are allowed.

I'm not out to bash American girls. Some are out of this world. Avy Scott comes to mind. Built, pretty, and down for whatever. Charlotte Stokely is another one. I mean God Damn! That's what a porn star should be.

A side note: Some American porn stars start off good and are corrupted by the contract system. Madison Monroe, Teagan Presley and Sunrise Adams come to mind. All gorgeous, all uninhibited, until the contract man got ahold of them. Then the music stopped.

I'm not saying that I 100% disagree with you, but you are mistaking your own personal, subjective opinion for a universal, objective truth. Many people happen to agree with you. Many people happen to disagree. I happen to like a certain amount of variety in my porn selection, sometimes prettier stuff, sometimes dirtier and nastier stuff, and sometimes Euro, and sometime American.

The difference for me was more pronounced in the nineties ( the "i hate Vivid" times): While Euro porn had the better girls and was more well done, American stuff was generally lame. Then, American companies started using Euro girls more and more, made trips to Budapest/Prague, made their stuff harder and more profesionally done. That was a good time to be a porn fan, too bad it seems to be over.

Of course not! There's good and bad everywhere. The good stuff also travels further making some faraway porn seem better as a whole no matter where you are.

Too bad the Racial Tension title is already in use otherwise somebody could have made some great pairings like:

Jewish guys with Islamic girls
Turkish guys with German girls
Kurdish guys with Turkish girls
Chechen guys with Russian girls
Marrocon guys with Dutch girls

Of course it's my opinion! That's why I used the purely subjective qualifier "better" in the title. There is no such thing as better or worse in a factual context.

All I'm saying is that for my money, Euro gets more bang for the buck...er, so to speak.

Christ, I couldn't even tell you. I mostly download or watch on VOD, so I don't keep track of titles and studios. I suppose that opens up a whole new discussion about Euro chicks making American porn, and how I lack the catagorical knowledge of porn that everyone else here seems to have.

95% of all the Euro porn I've seen has been mind-numbingly boring. The fact that the girls "do it all" matters not if they're doing it like robots.
