I must admit that sometimes when I write a review I am not sure what to give as a sex rating. Am I supposed to base it on number of postions? Number of OH YEAHS? If I like more quiet sex will others be disappointed?
Those problems aside...I would like your opinion. I am in the process of reviewing a DVD that has virtually NO sex. Yet, I found it quite a bit more arousing than many DVDs with lots of different kinds of sex. Giving is a 0 would make it look like it has no sex appeal. but it does. Giving it a 5 could also be pretty misleading, since there is no actual sex. What do you think?

Hi Endorphin...

Don't worry about writing misleading reviews. Reviews are always subjective. It's totally normal that some will love the film and some will hate it, no matter what rating you gave it.

I personally would try rating a film after how "earnest" the scenes are. If it's only hard fucking combined with loud fake moans and actors permanently take a look at their watch, I certainly wouldn't give the film a good rating, no matter how many positions there were.

If I got the impression that everybody was into it, the scenes were intense and nobody was thinking about something totally different, I'd give it a good rating. That doesn't necessarily mean that everybody has to make the impression that he likes the action. For example a movie with a plot or some other Rocco, Extreme or Anabolic movie might have actors not making the impression that they actually like what's just happening, but in these cases this belongs to the story or concept and can be quite intense as well.

If you want to make sure nobody gets mislead by any of your reviews, simply explain your rating shortly, by saying that you gave this film a 5 because you found the tease arousing although there were no sex scenes. Then everybody reading your review can decide for themselves if they like a film without any sex scenes and just some tease or if it's not for them.

I would always rate a film after what it "triggered" in me and not what I think it might mean for others who watch it.

I like your reviews so far, so don't worry about writing bad ones :-)

To me (sex rating + female looks)/2 = overall rating.

Except that a really lousy transfer or some other problem could take the overall down a notch.

So, solving for sex rating:

sex rating = 2 * (overall rating) - (female looks)

Does that help?

Seriously though, sex rating means how hot it is, aside from how good looking the girls are. Nudes a popin 10 has a high sex rating if you ask me. Despite no fucking. Cause there's lots of energetic and engaging flirting, and skads of hot stripper dancing, well edited.

The sort of title that gets a low sex rating is a Vivid girl "don't mess my hair" sort of detached effort.

Put another way, the sex rating is how hot it is because of what the girls (and boys) DO, independent of how they look. I could definitely give girls I'd rate at 2 on looks a 5 on sex, and vice versa.

I guess I'd better get my ass in gear and review more movies if this is not going to sound COMPLETELY ridiculous, right??

I like to base the SEX rating on the amount of fun the people in the scene are having.
I don't like to see "actors/actresses" just going through the same old boring positions. I like variety.
So if the scenes are well directed, and no one is just laying there, I usually give a good rating. But if someone is just laying there, I consider that boring, and I give it the rating it deserves.

I see the sex rating as how much does this movie inspire me to have sex :)

My criteria for a hot adult flick pretty much comes down to the enthusiasm and and enjoyment of the female performers and, on a lesser level, my attraction to them. As an example, New Wave Hookers 3 is pretty much my idea of a nearly perfect porn movie. Very pretty girls in Crystal Wilder, Nikki Dial and Brittany O'Connell at pretty much the prime of their respective careers (Brittany was really just starting out) in a kind of kinkily plotted movie who all screw like a pack of rabid weasels. And Greg Dark is superb at shooting porn so it was all captured very nicely.

Conversely, I was kind of disappointed in the Sex series that Nikki Dial starred in. I was desperately hoping the Rocco Siffredi/Nikki Dial scene would turn in to the sort of volcanic scene he had with Wilder in NWH3 but being a Paul Thomas film, it was very tame. It's one of the reason I tend to like the work Seymore Butts typically has done. It's always hot, even though it's gonzo which isn't necessarily my cup of tea. I've only laid off his most recent stuff because I'm sick to death of Alisha Klass.

If I just want to look at pretty girls which is what Andrew Blake and some Paul Thomas movies amount to, I'll usually just get a Playboy video or something. The girls are generally more attractive and I don't get as frustrated at the coldness of the sex.

No more yankee my wankee!!

spesedy, thanks for the complement.

dex, actually I ususually use the following equation:

number of positions X how good looks chick in the positions X -1/2(number of OH YEAHS) + Racquel Darrian appearances to the 10th power + 1/2 the number of beers I drank in the process - 1,00000000 X number of seconds an old porn guy is in movie

thank you for your input everyone. I was a bit baffled on this one. the review has just been posted.
