I don't know if this subject has been raised before, if it has my apoligies. I was recently browsing a site for latest releases and i could not believe how many there were and from so many different studios. This amount of production with the amount of porn available on the internet(a lot of it free via file sharing) are the producers/owners of studios not worried about the bubble bursting and the money drying up? I have always purchased dvd's from RLD, Platinum and Brandon Iron of up to 4 a month, now it may only be 1 a month, if that, as i can get it cheaper by joining a site for a month. So can the industry, as a whole, sustain the massive growth it has seen in the last 5 years or so. Personally i would like to see it back to just 4 or 5 main producers turning out quality films that you now will be of the highest standard and get rid of a lot of the rubbish that is on the market nowdays.

Hi,
All i can say (for me) is YES there is way too much porn (too often too much almost the same too) out there. I kinda quit following which company has what series available recently. I just look for the girls i wanna see and decide then if i wanna get the dvd or not.

There are also too many good porn movies nowadays . If you like good porn it's very hard to choose

It is an extremely crowded market nowadays. That's for sure.

There is not too much porn. There is only not enough time.

Unfortunately there's not a lot of good porn.

There isn't too much porn !! Well, tastes are different, and so everybody wants to see what he likes.

And please remember: You can still find movies with your favourite porn star, you still haven't seen or didn't even know they exist. And sometimes you didn't even expect they are that good !

But in one point your topic is true, iain35-uk !
There's too much porn where customer's wishes are not fulfilled !

There are a lot of titles out there. Fortunately, most of it doesn't interest me much so that stuff is easy pass up. I own something like 2700 VHS tapes and maybe 300 DVD discs and I don't think even one of them is a Vivid video. It's rare when I'll even rent one. Wicked is a little better, but for the most part, I pass that company's wares too. Adam and Eve? Not for me. Jill Kelly? Not likely. Anything girl/girl bores me. Solo stuff? Not a chance.
Sineplex/Sinsational? Can't get enough.
Devil's Film? Keep 'em coming.
There are many companies I'll at the very least rent the title to check it out if it looks interesting. Anabolic/Diabolic, Red Light District, DVSX, Smash, Digital Sin, Visual Images, New Sensations, Private, Hustler, Third Degree Films, Zero Tolerance, Lethal Hardcore, Swank, and many others are what I look for. Black Ice looks like new company making solid porn.
I sometimes rent amateur titles.
Many directors make porn that's right up my alley too. Jon Dough, John Stagliano, Mike John, Seymour Butts, Christopher Clark, and many others.
Get the best and fuck the rest.

I agree with Deam Wormer, it's more a case of "not enough time".

I don't think it's a case of *just* too much porn, rather (1) too much porn to prosecute, and (2) too man dirtbags pirating others material because they believe it should be free for everyone to see.

That's one of the big problems with the internet, it's made many people lazy & they want everything for next to nothing...or yes, free even. The problem is, that in order to produce this, or any form of entertainment outside of picking one's own nose, it costs money. Money that isn't being fed back into the industry when people want everything for free, IMHO.

Lastly, "rubbish" is one of those subjective words depending on the kind of porn you like (features, gonzo, circus sex, etc.).

I think that even when the porn industry made lower volumes there has always been bad porn. Always will be too.
The problem now is that many porn stars make more movies in three months than porn stars used to do over five years. Both are approximate average lengths of careers in the different periods.
So you can turn your back and a porn star that is completely your type can come in, make movies, and be gone forever. Some complain about trying to track down all their movies then.
On the other hand, you can be aware of them then try and get all 100 or so scenes they made. Very expensive and space consuming.

That'd be ideal, if they only produced high-quality porn that's tailored to me personally .

It'd be a real shame for you though, if my tastes were different to yours, no?


...and that's the problem with your line of thinking.

I've talked about this very problem elsewhere. The part of it that interests me is the effect such steady work loads can have on the girls.

Yeah it is damn crowded
The way I pick and choose - which I expect is what we all do - is pic a starlet and sort through her titles and watch the ones we want and scrap the rest - the same applies to fetishes - watch what you want and ignore the rest
This industry caters for everything cos there are sooo many tastes - we're actually fucking lucky

If I compare the business with like 10-15 years ago there are sure a lot more movies being made but that's only quantity not quality. Private is the perfect example. Like now they release a lot of movies each month but they are not the same quality as when they use to release only 2 movies each month back in the mid 90's. I wish all companies would focus more on quality instead of quantity.

I think it made a turnaround when Jules Jordan (mainly) and Vince Vouyer, Lex Steele, Mark Davis, Brandon Iron started making those incredible movies like BALLS DEEP, FLESH HUNTER, ASS WORSHIP, etc. That's when everyone realized that the envelope was totally wide open and much better porn could still be made. Then everyone wanted in on the action.

Then the influx of european girls started and films were being produced left and right.

I really think the influence for those movies were the John Leslie VOYEUR films which were really hardcore, featured hot scenes and women and were produced extremely well.

Interracial porn is almost out of control.

YES! I wish the porn climate was like this when I had some money to spend... some 5 years ago...[xx)]

Also distribution seems like a problem, finding some DVDs is hard just because there's hardly no re-issuing - there's always new movies released to take their place. So I've noticed how I stick with only a few big studios like Evil Angel, RLD, PXP, ZT because then I can easily pick up all volumes of series (sad completionist that I am...)

We can see this trend in all entertainment, the market is flooded with garbage that drowns the good stuff... so it takes some effort and dedication to find what you think is hiding beneath the surface.

YES. There is too much porn. (Mostly not too good.) And I am sure that file sharing, torrents, and P2P will hit some wallets and spare some as well.

I would love to see one great studio, say no more than 5 great directors, turn out 1 great title every other month, rather than see 20 mediocre directors turning out 2 or more titles a month.

Somebody's gotta buy all this stuff, I guess? Not me. If anything, I'd buy all the Joey Silvera DVDs I missed, and just buy new ones as released.

It can be a better investment to join a paysite with lots of downloadable content, and save that to burn to DVD, than it can be to buy DVDs. Plus internet only content like pissing and fisting and other kinks, can be obtained cheaper via download than it is to buy a 2 hour DVD. I was a member at some of those sites a long time ago, the stuff I downloaded was way more extreme than anything that can be purchased on DVD, and I loved that.

For me the quality is usually there (most movies I rate a B or higher). It's a good time to be a fan - really a lot of good stuff out there from the top studios: RLD/PlatX, ZT, 3rd, Evil, Hustler and I might be forgeting a couple. Between all of these you probably get 40+ new releases a month - I add many of them to my rental queue each month.

Then you have the other 100? studios - but too much? I don't know if you can ever have TOO MUCH of something good. You just don't have to consume it all in one day.

Is that really the effect of work load or the type of work?

I agree with you, blueyonder; it's very difficult to choose what to buy or rent. Even if you, like me, stick to a few studios (in my case GGG/JT, RLD/PXP, Sineplex/Sinsational).

But then...that's just your taste. Me personally, I don't care too much for the story-driven films. If I wanted to watch a pirate movie I'd pop in Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't have a problem with what comes out now...but then too I'm going on 19, and have only been into porn for a couple of years now.

I think the porn offerings today are awesome. Never has there been so much content tailored to so many fetishes and fixations. It's great to be alive!

Agreed. Who's gonna complain that there's too much porn? That's like some billionaire complaining that's he's just simply too rich and he wishes somebody would take some of that wealth off his hands for him. Come on now!

There is too much porn for me to watch in my life time, but that's OK, as it gives me a wider selection to choose from.

Exactly. Too much good porn was coming out and I was buying all of it, but didn't have the time to watch it all. I have hundreds of DVDs and I haven't bought any new porn for almost half a year now and I still have several DVDs that are still in their shrink wrap that I haven't been able to get to yet.

in reply to some of the comment's about you can never have to much porn, i think you can. My argument for this is that some studios seem to making porn just for the sake of it without any thought going into the production. It seems to be a case of it's Thusday today dont we normally do a DP film on Thusdays? who cares lets make one anyway! Some of the girls are, as they themselves say, doing 3 to 4 scenes a day, and if u get the film with them doing there forth scene u now it wont be as good as there first.

Since Leisure Time is still around, the market is saying that it will take porn any way it can get it.
