So, I'm watching Fucked on Sight 4 and the first girl up is Aliana Love who is very cute and bubbly and fun to watch and it's not long before Manuel expresses frustration without not being able to fuck her the way they'd both like him to. So what do they do? Turn of the camera and fuck, naturally. We know because she talks about how great it was later! Sorry, but I'm not paying to hear about hot girls having sex. I'm paying to see it. Later in scenes with Jandi Lin and Jaelyn Fox (whom I've just discovered and she's all kinds of awesome), both of whom are partial to his rougher side, the same limitation comes up. Because of the camera he not only can't fuck like Manuel, but his hands are busy and his mouth is obviously unavailable and I like girls being serviced orally and kissing (sadly, all he can do is slap, which I could live without even though the girls obviously seem to like it).
Basically, everything that makes Manuel special in terms of being a stud are rendered non-existent by POV. Yeah, his relentless pounding is gone, but at too great a cost.

It is entirely possible to film very good to excellent "POV" porn without the performer having to work the camera himself. In fact, I'd argue that it's almost a requirement. Mike John seems to be the exception here but I suspect it's because he is a very good cameraman in addition to being a decent porn performer. Can't say the same for Manuel and a legion of other wannabe's.

Actually, I don't care for those because I do appreciate the semi-intimacy of just the two performers in POV, which, I agree, Mike John excels at. He's so far ahead of everyone else in this genre it's an insult to compare them to him. Manuel is just a "full on" performer and needs all the weapons in his arsenal.

I personally do not care for POV, but I do watch some of it. I do agree that shooting a decent movie in which the director serves as both cameraman and performer does not require him having to hold the camera throughout the whole scene. Some of the best porn camerawork I have seen is shot from the director/performer putting the camera down and just fucking as if the camera isn't even there.
For example, I just not long ago watched Erik Everhard's Anal POV #5. In the BTS of that movie, Erik has his "Me Time" alone with the girls in the movie. He puts the camera down somewhere in the room, and just lets the camera record himself having sex with the girls. As a result, the sex in this BTS is much better than what I've seen in 99.9% of all other porn. For one thing, since he doesn't appear to be concerned about the camera, the sex becomes much more realistic; the way real people have sex, not how porn people have sex. Plus, we get to see alot of the classic missionary position, which I keep saying is severely lacking from porn nowadays. It's not often that the sex in the BTS is better than the sex in the actual movie. But in this case, it is.
So, if you say that Manuel couldn't fuck the girls the way he wanted to while holding the camera, I just don't see why he couldn't just put the camera down and still record himself having sex with the girl the way he wants to. It might have even turned out being alot better than the rehearsed-looking stuff we see in most porn nowadays.

Both Erik Everhard and Mike John have that type of BTS and I agree, it's some good stuff. I only wish Manuel had done the same.

This scenario sounds very plausible and from wathing the first installment in this series, yes, Manuel does turn the girls on. I think it should be faux POV instead, that Manuel holds the camera until the sex gets really wild, then he gives it to whoever present at the time.'
At the same time I kind of like the tease element when the performers have to conform to a formula... you can tell how they're restricted which is pretty hot.

I agree that Manuel should not do POV because he is all kinds of awesome hotness, and I want to see every bit of him on camera.

Manuel should quit the POV. POV sucks ass, especially when he does because he can't service the girls orally, which he is great at. He should just stick to his other titles, and add a big booty flick to his catalog.
