Private is definitely more HARDCORE.

Vivid is geared more towards couples.

Private shoots gorgeous women doing just about everything, anal, dp, and lots of facials. Some of their starlets include Sylvia Saint, Nikki Anderson, Monique Covet, Lea de Mae, and Kate Moore. The beauty of the Vivid girls may be close but the substance of the films shot by both companies isn't close, Private does much more hardcore scenes than Vivid does but it isn't like Anabolic or Diabolic but still it is very much hardcore, I would compare Private more towards Wicked than Vivid if you were looking to see an American counterpart.

PRIVATE will never be compared to Vivid or Wicked. Both companies are geared towards couples, and that's just the opposite with PRIVATE. PRIVATE has some of the best hardcore sex I have ever seen. PRIVATE does thier own thing, and that's what makes them unique.

I guess I should try and clarify myself a little on what I was trying to say. Private does make very good films that are more hardcore than they are softcore, however their films do feature some storylines in between the sex scenes which could appeal to the couples market albeit you would have to like the harder sex scene as well. Wicked does seem to do this type of film and Anabolic/ Diabolic does not and that is what I was going for. Personally I like both Private and Wicked as they feature some very hot women doing really great sex scenes and having more to choose from is nothing but a good thing in my book.

I haven't experienced the pleasure of seeing a Private DVD yet, but I did just watch my first-ever disc from Vivid Wave. In my opinion, the sex scenes were very soft, gentle and short. I enjoy that once in a while, but if this disc is at all representative, then a steady diet nothing but Vivid would bore me to tears.

The audio/visual quality was only average, at best. The extras sucked (and not in a good way). I've submitted a review, which should be available soon.

Private = Vivid, why not? ALL the girls are pretty, ALL OF EM fuck on autopilot. Makes sense.

Or course, the Private Girls are more cromulant about having all their holes fulfilled.

But apart from that, I don´t see much of a difference.

Hardcore: Here's an analogy for you:
Vivid is like the watered down beer you get at a rave.
Wicked is like a fine wine you get at an upscale restaurant.
Private is like a shot of whiskey from an unmarketed bottle in a dark bar.

Each are acquired tastes and have their market. My problems with Vivid stem more from the wooden sex with good looking clock watchers and waste of money. My problems with Private stem from the often over rated direction, the sameness of sex acts, and the bad dubbing. My problems with Wicked are usually that they are so expensive and could be a bit harder.

There, I hope I pissed everyone off equally.

The real Private ceased to exist sometime ago. Now some Porn Company called "Private" makes movies for the cable/couples market only. Looking like a Vivid/Wicked, european appendix. If you get to see a real hardcore scene, chances are it will be watered down by special effects. These days, it is so bad that even the lecastel's videos (X-treme) have lesbian scenes in it. X-treme? ...X-treme cable, maybe. This neo "Private" is all about pretentious porn. Where the word Hardcore has been reduced to the minimum expression. R.I.P.

qrop - here we go... first off, I don't agree at all with your summation of the Private situation. Granted, Woodman has left Private and that has left a different feel on the remaining company. I personally don't miss Woodman at all, although I know many of my fellow ADT'ers do. In any case, to compare today's Private to Vivid is absolutely ludicrous. Private is still hardcore and caters to anal fans worldwide using beautiful girls. That has not changed. What has changed are the expectations of today's raincoat crowd who now demand double and triple everything! The fact that Private has not gone this route (and I, personally, am very glad) does not make them watered-down Vivid couples porn! I mean, get real! Pretentious, maybe - it depends upon your expectations.

Sorry aybesea, I have to agree with qrop, and I have no interest in double or triple anything. However, I do want my movies to run over two hours in length, and Private have made their movies shorter and shorter over the past few years, so that 75 minute run times are typical. And the focus of the acts in these movies has changed from being geared to appeal to fans of raunchy sex to being more "pretty and respectable." Put these together, and it says that their focus now is having product ready for showing on satelite TV.
This isn't necessarily good or bad, but for my taste, I'm growing ever fonder of my collection of Pierre Woodman DVDs, many close to 3 hours in running time. Again, I'm not looking for any double or triple stuffing, I don't even care much for the "normal" DP, and I still find almost all of the recent Private releases I've seen to be very unsatisfying. But I think a Wicked fan such as Astroknight, for example, would enjoy them very much. I'm trying hard here not to state this as a judgement, except in the sense that the Private releases of the last 18 months DO have a different feel from Private titles of the past.

Mmmhh, there aren't a lot of Vivid fans over there. I disagree, I've seen a good deal of private videos (pre and post-Woodman) and always found the sex cold & robotic. The girls are beautiful & the guys too, ther's anal, facial, dp, whatever,just name it, but it lacks HEAT. You get supermodels in latex attire getting d.p'ed by muscle-bound guys but nothing emanates. It's bland. Flawless but bland.
Perfect but boring. Hardcore (compared to Vivid) but sedate.

This thread started before my time here at ADT, but I'm glad it has been resurrected so I can throw my two cents in.

Hey to each his own. Sure everyone has their own tastes, but I think it is just an out and out misrepresentation to say these two companies are equivalents.

Planet Sex has spotted what is the only reasonable comparison, both companies employ some extremely good looking women. They are both very well marketed companies, but in my opinion that is just about all you can compare. It is rather ridiculous to compare them in any other manner.

I agree it does seem like Private is producing more product for cable, as well as making a much more serious effort to grab a share of the U.S. market. However I think their company has grown into one of the most impressive porn conglomerates in the world. I can not think of another company that offers more styles of porn. Even their magazines are fantastic.

They have done a masterful job of branding their lines, and products. I don't think there is a company out there that can be depended on for the same level of consistency. You buy a Private title and 9 times out of ten your going to get exactly what you thought you were going to get.

Ok it may not be the Private that brought us Woodman or Thring, but its no Vivid. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I agree with Speelie. Private is giving less for your money these days, if somebody haven't noticed this by now, all I can think of is than that person discovered Private only last Christmas when he got his DVD player as a gift. These days Private not only gives less fuck for your money with lezbo, and a lot of one on one scenes (basicly what you will find in Vivid & Wicked videos) but the length of their movies are just ridiculous. For example The Reality series was usually 90 mn long now the latest title is 75 minutes only. ..Adamo's is the same thing, the difference here is the slow motion that gives you the illusion of a longer video.

I like hardcore sex myself. In my opinion Private does much better and more hardcore movies than Vivid or Wicked.

Comparing Vivid to Private is an insult to Private eventhough they have become softer with directors like Adamo, Ninn and Kovi. The can never replace a great director like Woodman and to me Castel is the only director there who is still directing good movies. I still wish he would bring back the Matador serie.

have just watched "the matador 12" avalanche 2 sex in the alps.

I have to agree that the only decent private director these days is le-castel kind of wish he would perform again as his anal scenes shot with his large member are really good.

I think all of the matador series is good, can anyone tell me how many "matadors" were shot, and why did he stop shooting the extreme anal series.

there is a terrific scene in this one where silvia sun and
another either karma or gina rouge or judith key
get dp'd in the snow and starts rubbing the frozen snow all over her arse and their cocks and balls.
their screams aren't just of delight!!!!!!!

CHEERS WHITESTAR.

I don´t know how the current Private movies are, but their first films were pretty by-the-book. Gorgeous girls will all holes fulfilled, but all of ´em faker than a three-dollar bill, with those looks at the camera and the sex on autopilot.

Private has released 15 DVD:s in the matador series.

Le Castel has also got a new label called Private X-treme. I have not seen any of these so I can't say if they are like matador or not but they're all directed by J-Y.
