I hate seeing the same talent in 100 movies per year. Let's take more than 5 hours to film a scene and put quality porn out instead of quantity. How many ppl would watch a hollywood movie if they were filmed like xxx movies? Imagine instead of Tom Cruise spending 6 months shooting for Mission Impossible 2 he were to show up at the studio at 9, finish at 4, and the next week the theaters expect us to pay $10 to watch Mission Impossible 58. Oh and the next day Tom Cruise shoots Bourne Identity 43, then the next day Ace Ventura 67, etc, etc. When u have the same dozen or 2 performers shooting 100 different roles its hard to see them as any of the characters. Off my soap box for now.
Two dislikes that are coming to mind right now: * The glut of DVD/BD porn that exists. I'd rather see a dozen high-quality releases per month versus the dozens of mediocre to average releases that are put out daily/weekly. Some of what is out there right now is very good, but most of it is not. * When a performer goes from not wearing a condom in one frame to wearing one in the next. I have no problem with performers using protection, but as a fan of film I'm a stickler for continuity - just show the condom being put on. Edited by - Ryan_Johnson on 2/1/2014 10:01:16 AM
I love when homophobic creeps hurl "gay" as if it's an insult to a straight guy! Back to what I dislike in porn: 8 inch high heels Bad camera angles (à la GDP) When the male talent thinks he's the star Condoms

Girls licking their hand to lube up a dick instead of just spittin on it
yesterday I was looking to the last scene of Phoenix Skye at 60 plus milfs, potentially a very good scene but the camera work was so bad it ruined everything. A lot of time it wasn't possible to see the face of the woman, not just because it was a threesome with two guys (usually I don't like threesomes with two guys exactly for this reason: it's difficul to see the face of the woman) but also because or it was a close up or a terrible angle. I mean, even if it's porn I don't need to see the dick every second of the scene, during the doggiestyle I like to see the face of the woman (and the man too!) but nothing, it seems that they only can shoot from behind her (and with a close up).
I hate scenes where the guy is pumping and pumping and grunting and groaning as if he was going to let loose a gusher and either nothing or only a couple of drops come out. Edited by - i love nicki hunter on 2/2/2014 2:42:08 AM
But it's nice to have a place where we can vent and commiserate. We all know that it doesn't matter what we (as individual fans) like/dislike; the producer/director/cameraman/editor marches to their own tune. The best an individual fan can do is support the producers who get it right, and don't reward the producers who get it wrong.
For porn there are just too many fans with too many different preferences. It's impossible to please everyone. The only way to get porn exactly the way you want it is to make it yourself. Short of that, you may get lucky and find some producer(s) whose concept/ideas happen to match your preferences.
Rachel Steele for instance does custom scenes. But she also ask to everybody what they would to see in her scenes. I think that a lot of people should do something like that.
I dont really see the point in making the girls look at the camera All the time.Its really unnatural!If the directors would give the experienced girls some leway I'm convienced that most would produce a better scene than the director. second thing is of all the ffm scenes, i hardly ever ever see a black girl in with a white one.Make that maybe 2 in 30 yrs. One more thing,I've seen movies that make you feel like your in the room watching.I dont know if its the camera or what but its so much more real. last thing is havent these guys ever heard the saying variety is the spice of life?I know everone has their on little fetish but am I the only one that enjoys seeing different ones in each scene?ps watching 5 scenes where girl sucks 2 min girls fucks 2 min girl licks balls 32 seconds girl gives 1.5 min rim girl takes it in ass jeeze i could direct this Try to make some of it look natural Pleeze
Things I hate? I've said it before and I'll say it again: 1. When guys make the girls lick their fucking toes... Who the fuck wants to see that shit??? Manuel and Mr Pere seem to be most obsessed with this BS. 2. I know tit fucking is a lot of fun in real life, but to watch for extended periods is boring as fuck.

As long as I've been viewing porn (12 years now), the one thing that's always bugged me is the excessive amount of camera time wasted on close-up shots and poor view angles. Just like others who've already posted in this thread, watching a cock slide in and out of a pussy, so close up, doesn't do anything for me. Along with that, these "up-and-under" shots, as I like to call 'em (where the camera is looking up, almost from the floor, at the girl sucking a cock or getting fucked) take up too much scene time. Not that these shots should be eliminated completely, but it's always seemed to me that almost half of a scene, if not more, is devoted to these poor views; for the average scene, I'd guess that I probably press the FF button on my remote for half of the scene because of these shots. I think the vast majority of porn viewers would prefer to have the camera capture more of the girl's body and face during sex rather than using it for so many of these way-too-close close-up views. Sure, there are other things in porn that I don't care for, but this, more than anything else, has bugged the crap outta me for as long as I've been wathing it. I can't imagine how much more enjoyable porn scenes would be for me if I didn't have to waste so much time fast-forwarding through these portions of them; less close-ups and bad angles, more full-body shots! (Again, I'm not saying these camera shots should be eliminated completely, I'd certainly be okay with some, but there's just way too much scene time devoted to these camera angles, as far as I'm concerend.) Okay, I will now step down from my soapbox.

Haha I love that angle. Especially when the girl is sloppy and you can see all the spit runnin down her tits down to the floor. I don't think it takes up ENOUGH scene time
Things I don't Like: - Anything rough (not my thing) - Uninvolved popshots: Guys finishing themselves off (which is lame most of the time anyway) over unengaged women - Cutting to the guys face just before the popshot (This one, thankfully, isn't used as much but back in the day it was worst thing.) - Fancy productions that forgot they were making porn. (Too many offenders in this department so we'll move on) - Fetishy scenes or videos that skimp on tease footage. - Fetishy scenes or videos that don't theme the popshot to the fetish (my favorite example of how this can be done right is - Ava Rose; White Booty Worship 2) - Trying to convince the home viewer that the performer is interested in you. Not gonna happen so just leave it alone.
^ Depends on what you see... If it shows only the men's legs, hairy ass and cock pumpin into the girl's pussy, and that's all you see of them, I would totally agree with: NOT digging the angle. Boring and unpersonal, and aesthetically not pleasant.
Most of the stuff here hits the nail on the head. I love watching solo movies and theyre all so generic. Very few actually bother up close facial features, most just leave the camera on the cunt for 7 minutes and call it a day. Inthecrack has an excuse because thats their niche but whats up with everyone else?

Meh, nothin' hot for me lookin' at the bottom of a girl's chin as she's giving a blowjob, even when it's one of those real sloppy, dripping blowjobs.
What I hate the most are bad production values. I can't expect every producer to cater solely to my tastes in women or sex acts, but I can expect them to invest the time, effort and money into making videos that meet high standards. Aside from that, well, once upon a time I made a living as a chef. Every single day I had to make certain things, like sauces. Getting it perfect meant getting it the same every single time, and that can be just as true in porn as it is in food. If you want to try something different that's fine, but don't fuck up a perfect recipe just because you know it by heart.

^ Especially if you are renowned for having a particular niche that got people interested in the first place and then go and change it..But often also shows her breasts hanging and swaying, always been a fan of that angle.
Hate is a strong word, but something quite usual I really don't like: when the panties aren't removed when the fucking starts, only pushed aside. Why not remove them???
^ You hate that?? What kind of sick weirdo are you?

DVD not playable. You open it up, kiss the sky and smell the freshness as if you had yourself a new car ready for a ride and push it in the holder but as they come some will act mean and simply won't play. It happens from time to time. The odds are pretty high, but the chance is there. I'd say 1:25. Buy hundred. Four of them never starts. And if they do, they go slow and will immedeately start pissing you off. (This will never happen with CDs) Mick Blue's failure of an orgy product from last year or 2012 (XXX FIT GIRLS ORGY) I even bought twice. Both suckers failed and went slow motion and then went black as if this was a product of piece de reistance worth waiting for cumming along... You can tell by some marks in the center of the disc's flip-side that something's wrong, like if the thing has been heated up and it's melted inside. I guess about one of 10 to 20 newly shipped products has such marks. Then you may have a problem comming through them. When the trouble occures, you will start hating the disc. The only thing to do is to throw it away.
Seriously, 1 in 25 DVD's? That sounds very high. It shouldn't really happen more than 1% of the time at most I would think. Edited by - Cloudburst on 3/6/2014 9:47:18 PM
^ We've all been there - happily jerking away, then all of a sudden the disc starts to skip or freeze. Usually on a really good bit too (happened to me recently, watching Gangbang Girl 32). Talk about boner killer. Watching via streaming or download is no better - I often get 'freezes' when watching stuff off my hard drive, where the audio continues to play but the picture doesn't. Anyone know why that happens? Back to DVDs, I also have discs where the audio is horrendously out of sync most of the way through. What the fuck is with the quality control for adult DVDs? Is the attitude like "Hey, it's porn so it don't matter?" I've never bought a DVD of a mainstream film with this problem, though, to be fair, it isn't limited just to discs. I've also bought downloads with serious audio sync problems (always been refunded/replaced, though). Back when I used to buy from actual bricks & mortar shops, I once got home with a disc only to find it had a huge crack across the centre. I had to physically apply pressure to get it to align so the disc was smooth. On returning it to the shop, I was told "Oh, it'll play fine." Yeah, right. I got my money back. Years later, I was at a friend's house and he'd rented the Die Hard 4.0 DVD, which was also cracked. We stuck it in the player regardless and y'know what? It did play - perfectly.
I hate heavily compressed DVDs. For example trying to cram over 180 minutes plus bonus features onto a single DVD9 disc rather than splitting it up over 2 DVDs. Some companies are big offenders at doing this. Anabolic comes to mind. Stunning content ruined by heavy compression artifacts. The smarter companies know that above a certain number of minutes of footage it's probably wise to split it over 2 discs and sometimes 3 or more discs. Likewise tight-ass studios that put over 2 hours of content onto a single layered DVD5 because they're too stingy to put the content onto a dual-layered DVD9. As a rule of thumb generally there should be up to Maximum of 90 minutes of footage including bonus footage on a DVD5 Maximum of 150 minutes of footage including bonus footage on a DVD9 Ideally 70 - 80 mins maximum on a DVD5 and 130 - 140 mins on a DVD9.

@Jacco I'm sure you wouldn't cram too many minutes of footage onto a single DVD disc do you? Not all porn fans may notice technical quality issues but there's a lot of us that do.

The fact that Jake Malone jumped off a bridge, attracting next to zero notice or comment, and the Assholiano thread is 200+ pages long. Fly the fucking porno flag upside down, already.
^ I'm sorry to hear about that. I hate it when any talented person dies. I'm not from L.A. but didn't Tony Scott (brother of Ridley) also jump off a bridge to his death in Long Beach? Was this roughly in the same area of L.A.?
To reiterate what others have said... What's up with the constant closeup shots and terrible viewing angles? This is especially bad in POV videos. It's like the director is saying: "Let's shoot this sideways so the viewer has to turn their head to see what's happening and make sure to cut the girl's face out of the shot because we MUST see the guy's cock at all times!" <= Why? It makes no sense. Closeup is not pov. Sideways is not pov. If the video contains more shots of the guy's cock than the girl's face it's not pov. The star of the video is not some guys crooked cock and his hairy gut...it's the female talent. They need to make a new genre called "Closeup Cock Fetish" for these types of vids so people know to stay away.
Scenes where it looks like the crew sat together and decided, let us find the dirtiest and grimiest set we can find to shoot on. And let's not stop there, how can we make it look like we care as little as possible about the quality of the shooting as well? Shit's uncomfortable to watch.
No need to create a new genre called "Closeup Cock Fetish". That genre already exists; it's called "POV". The new genre we need is something which simulates the ideal of POV. It probably will require some new invention or technology which will allow hands-free shooting, a stable picture, probably something wearable but not on your head. And it would need an operator/cameraman. So...one guy wears the camera (and does the fucking), while another guy works the camera, thru some remote controls with a remote monitor. The camera would need to be zoomed in/out, have wide-angle capability, and have directional capability, and some sort of image stabilization.
Agreed. Sideways angles suck. Pointless. Adds nothing to the scene whatsoever. Utterly pointless. No artistic merit at all. A nice steady camera either on a steadicam shoulder brace or a tripod always does the trick.
