What instances of realistic seduction can you remember seeing in a porn flick ? Can you remember ever seeing any ? And if not , why do you think that is ?
I caught a vignette DVD from Girlfriend Films (shot on tape , amusingly) the other day , called Lesbian Triangles 2 . There was a lengthy and mighty convincing seduction between a sports coach and her female student which got me to wondering why this sort of thing is seemingly so tough to do . In a playful twist to the normal story with these scenarios it was the girl who was playing the dominant role to her teacher rather than the other way around . The teacher wasn't quite up my alley (though the student was a honey) , but the seduction was so damned believable it was easy to get lost in that aspect instead of just taking in the surface looks for once .
lee, you may be on to something.....unfortunately i think most making porn are so far removed from the flirtatious glance or quick touch of one's leg. if they were to make a disc on seduction it would likely involve calling LA Direct and saying "hey, this chick, what's her rate for double anal? and is she going to bleed and shit all over my set like the last bitch you sent me? i don't like no whores crying on my set and i don't like hiring no cleaning people!"
This is why I've come to reall appreciate gonzos. Breaking that 4th wall, you can get into the girl's head "realistically". I know not all gonzos... or a lot do not do this. However, several do, and the room is really there to play with this more and more. The seduction comes from the director to his/her talent.

You probably meant a scene where a girl is seduced, right? But in times of reverse everything I'm sure this is not completely out of place here. As you probably know I got into Tiana Lynn because of her special abilities. But I got a fan of hers because of the seduction intro in the first scene of Cum Rain Cum Shine: Tiana isn't satisfied with her boyfriend and tells his father (Randy Spears) about it. Soon it becomes clear she doesn't want to talk but to fuck him. He has concerns about fucking his son's girlfriend and tries to withstand Tiana for a while (of course it's not realistic to withstand Tiana but hey, it's just porn). The way she teases him made me harder than anything else in porn ever did. Hope his wife will forgive him, he had no chance to resist from the beginning.
Seduction works much better to give me wood than the sex, though the sex works better to get me off. But getting off is better with a very hard dick, so seduction first, please.
If you flirt with a vagina it can squirt as far as China. I can dream.

to me the art of seduction is a linguistic one. most porn dialogue is horrible and is more in keeping with the art of sedation. therefore, i'd rather they just get to the coitus so i can not cum, and return to my ground state of hopelessness.
Sorry Kat, but if gonzo is a reflection of the seduction style of the director I am saddened.
Like dragonsbum pointed out seduction is often about the dialogue but even then the dialogue needn't be too complicated. Seduction scenes need a situation, some tension, a little conflict and a resolution. Throw in a sympathetic character and a little hesitancy and you're nearly there, oh and a bit of humour. This means you need a writer and people who can deliver lines or pretend really well an oh, on second thoughts I think I see why all this gets too hard...
Randy Spears/Inari Vachs in Facade -- The scene isn't perfect by any means but it has all the abovementioned elements together with some nice sex - it's a winning combination. And no I don't think I've seen any others that I can think of.

The diference between 'gonzo' and 'features': 'Features' tend to have either too much sex or too little. 'Gonzo' tends to have too much sex, period.
(...?? Sure Walter, whatever, but why did you post that here, in this nice thread about the art of seduction and the lack thereof in porn?)
Read between the lines, son.

Not too sure I completely agree with you guys and gals there . My own seductions haven't been scripted by some genius playwright , yet succeed in spite of the inane dribble I was probably spouting . To me the most important aspect of seducing someone (or comforting them , which is surprisingly similar) is all physical . It's about body language . Proximity of body parts . Gentle stroking . Playful tickling or pinching . Leaning into someone else's space . All simple monkey gestures , and accomplishable by a simple chimp like me . So they shouldn't be any problem for the studs and sluts of pornoworld . Should they ?Some of that would be great . In fact , any of that would be great . Going for the cop out interview or "look who just showed up at the front door" solution is ... well ... a cop out . Even a little sprinkle of one or two of the above would elevate most porn scenes regardless of the format they're being presented in .
And Walter , I'm not concerned with the overall shape of the movie . Let it be balanced all out of whack , it matters not to me . It would just be nice to have more instances of sex on camera which didn't leap uncomfortably out of nothing but the fact that it's time to have another sex scene . Or maybe I should just shut up now .

You are not reading between the lines, son.
No wait, that would be BigBobxxx.

Maybe you enjoy Steve Holmes and Laura Angel in VMD's Harcelement au feminin (Wicked/Dangerous Woman) ? There is a non sex seduction scene between them right at the begining. Just eye talk and body language. (Don't worry about the sex, that comes later ) There are also some other bone-chilling? surprises in the plot ;) At that time Steve Holmes still liked Laura, who is nowadays nothing special anymore, as he informed us lately.
Anyways some months later Laura was awarded le Hot d'Or as best European actress for that movie, nontheless it was a team success in my humble opinion.
So what do we learn from this? For a convincing seduction setup at least the male guy should be 'into' his female partner. *cough*
wait, are you trying to tell us something about the king of holesharing?

Dear jamesn, first and foremost my post was about pointing you to some seductive play like the thread starter asked for.
As for Steve Holmes, well, I think he has quite some talent for play-acting, too bad his heart lies with wall-to-wall gonzo video. Under the direction of a real feature director he could probably set himself apart from many others.

I did say that I know not a lot of gonzos do this. I am simply saying there is a lot of room in gonzos to experiment with this. And for the reason you listed above... the talent is really an actor/actress at convincing you that this is the best dam sex they've ever had (or at least, that's the goal), but not many of them (Randy Spears excluded) are good at delivering scripted dialogue. I like the freedom that gonzos afford the director and have come to recognize that breaking this 4th wall may be a great way to further play with "the art of seduction." I simply look forward to those creative directors that can use this to push the boundaries in fresh ways of setting up the seduction, and not have to rely on the very few that can nicely deliver scripted dialogue.
Realistic scenes of men seducing women in porn are rarely seen; I suppose one of the reasons is that the male fantasies most common in the genre involve situations where guys don't have to do any work at all to get laid--certainly not anything having to do with talking to a woman . . . unless its along the lines of "so how much is this gonna cost me?"
A few classic exceptions are:
The Seduction of Lyn Carter (1974)
Portrait of Seduction (1976)
(both of these were made by Sam Weston (Spinelli), and by porn standards, are fairly well acted. In the first, a man seduces a rather straight laced married woman while her husband is on a business trip; in the second, an older woman is seduced by her step-son)
Les mille et une perversions de Felicia (1975)
(the Max Pecas hardcore classic, which I seem to remember took the shape of a seduction, as a teenage girl comes to live with a happily married couple and soon has them both in her bed--but its been a long time since I've seen this one)
Party Doll (1990)
(a favorite DeRenzy title, which is a kind of update of Lyn Carter --a young man seduces a woman and introduces her, despite her grave reservations, into a life of sexual experimentation)
There are a few others, but these ones popped into my head first. As for gonzo, the only realistic seductions (which doesn't mean they were real, mind you) I have seen were maybe in a few of the old Ed Powers Bus Stop Tales videos from about 1988, and perhaps in the recent College Invasion series put out by Shane's World. The fact that the girls (not the guys, of course) usually chicken out in the end is actually what gives these bits interest . . .
The scene in front of the cafe ? Yes that was very foxy stuff , and the eventual reward of a final sex scene was all the sexier for having been so long building . The languid leg cross in saucy high heals is particularly memorable .
Raised-From-The-Dead-One , yes I can imagine that many guys purchasing porn don't want to imagine any fantasy that involves actually having to talk with women . Especially the ones who buy the more extreme shit . But isn't that where the idea of an untapped market comes in ? The thought that maybe there's a large group who's objections to porn aren't morally based but spring instead from general contempt for the grot they're been exposed to so far ? That's the optimistic way of looking at it , anyway .
And thanks for the suggestions , I may check some of them out if they are available .
Vinnie - I'm just as interested in women seducing men, as in men seducing women . Or women getting women, of course . (though I'll leave the men on men to GS and Arthur ;) . I've yet to see Tiana doin' the do , so that title could just be my first porn purchase in quite some time . Thanks .
