"Raincoaters" is an old term referring to the good old days of porno theaters. Guys would attend the theatres in long raincoats that would cover up any obvious bulges, and, if they wanted to stroke during the movie, the raincoats would cover up anything they were doing.

So, based on this, I'd say that the "raincoat factor" refers either to how strokeworthy the porn is, or how much it makes one want to stroke.

Astronight may have another definition in mind, but this is how I interpret it.

Way back in the days of the XXX theaters (back before VCRs/DVDs/the internet/heck almost before electricity ) there would be assorted patrons scattered about the place sitting well apart from each other (as opposed to a couple watching the movie together). Usually the rain/overcoat was worn inside as it was big enough to disguise what the guy was doing underneath the coat (the same thing that we can now do in the privacy of our own homes, ain't technology grand ?). Thus a high raincoat factor would mean either a well attended showing of the movie or that the raincoat was needed more that once during the show.

Hopefully though Astroknight will show up & throw his $0.02 in.

Basically it's just a term I use to balance the amount of sex to non-sex scenes in a movie with a little weight to the stroke factor. Medium is for an average couples movie. If there's a lot of plot or if the sex is done so poorly that I think I should get a cup of coffee of some speed, then if goes down. If it's an all sex movie it should be high, and if it's something that's so hot that the neighbors feel the need to take their pants off not even knowing what's happening while I'm watching the movie, then it's extreme.

I actually did a search in the forum but didn't find anything...really, I did.

Thanks again.
