If this topic already exists, I apologize. I couldn't find it in search.
Wanted to start a light-hearted discussion on annoying things you've found in porn after someone brought up the topic of bad acting. :).

- scenes where it constantly cuts back and forth between two couples who are in separate places. ie. not in an orgy. Especially at different points of copulation
- bad porn music that is way too loud
- almost the entire scene is closeup of the penetration. no wide angle shots of the couple. and if there are, you see them holding each other like a PG-rated movie
- for japanese porn: when you can clearly see there is no penetration through the mosaic filter

What are yours?

I think this thread already existed, but anyways, I have gotten to where I refuse to pay for fake moaning in lesbian porn and this era of the genre has it really, really bad.

The weak cum shot. The girl is waiting, the guy is stroking, the guy is moaning, and he shoots a tiny dribble if anything at all. Dog Fart has perfected the anti-art of the weak cum shot.

Like the other person said, cum volume and quality.

I used to love babes getting facial. Not the barely visible moisture on chin that we nowadays get. I am talking about those super sticky thick white ropes that won't stop landing on girls face. Proper tribute.

My #1 is the endless jacking if on a girls face as she pretends ends not to be thinking about the traffic on the 404 Freeway . Really , this is a relic from the old pre viagra days , you just watched him bone her 74 ways to Sunday for a half an hour , we believe they really had sex .

When you are watching a feature and the cast goes out of character during the sex scene.

No blowjob
Squirting. Don't understand the fascination

- Fake creampies (this shouldn't really be a thing)
- "Just the tip" creampies (proper thrusting should be the standard)
- Terribly edited creampies that make them seem fake even if they aren't (just stick to one angle and stay in that shot for however long it takes - no need to go Taken 3 on the cuts!)
- Creampies shot in close-up (I want to see the action AND the girl's face and body at the same time)

Yeah, I have a lot of gripes when it comes to creampies lol.

Oh, and also when the cameraman speaks. Should never happen IMO.

I could list a whole list of pet peeves but I will mention just one.

If during a scene there is no clear shot of the actresses whole body, you as a porn producer have (partially) failed at your job.

It drives me mad when there's a smoking hot girl with a smoking hot body and there's not at least one clear shot of her whole body.

It completely kills the scene for me.

I hate that there isn't a site dedicated to mature women (like over 50) and young guys.
Sure there's the "milf" genre but milf means 100 different things to 100 different people so even under that label it's quite hard to find what I want to see.

Have plenty, but I'll just list a few here.

1. Bad facial cumshots
Bad means weak dribbling like someone said before, but also shooting over her head, shooting toward her mouth when its supposed to be on her face.

2. Guys who are limp. A hard dick doesn't bend or flop.

3. Toys in b/g scenes. A toy is a substitute for a dick. If a dick is present there's no need for the toy.

4. Bad camera angles that don't show close up penetration, especially in anal scenes. Why do it if we can barely see it?

5. Double anal. Just doesn't look enjoyable for anyone involved. I know its extreme but extreme doesn't always mean hot.

Thx for the opportunity to contribute. For me it is easy - the lack of imagination when developing storylines. The same old cookie cutter storylines pretty much ruin the scene for me. Can't imagine I am the only one with this viewpoint.

The fake, unimaginative, and irritating moaning. Girls, some soft grunts are ok, but screaming "yes, yes, yes, fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!" is too damn much.

Going from kissing/talking to nude instantly

I love watching the women strip or be stripped as I find it adds a extra level of sexiness to the scene, I get annoyed when they skip.

I love VMG's sites but they are the biggest culprits of this IMO.

^ Agreed. Taking the time to 'unwrap' the model is often missing.

One of my otther pet peeves is when you go to watch a scene, the girl is naked in the thumbnail,but the girl has an item of clothing throughout the scene.

Really irritating! Ariel Darling's Naughty America debut scene today is an example of this.

Another one that irritates me is when an imageset shows really hot positions that aren't even in the video.

Excessively long scenes, which are now unfortunately the norm. I've never seen a scene that needed to be 40 minutes long, let alone an hour +.

Not to rag on anyone, but the same handful of dudes for 20 years is also irritating. What starts as style becomes overdetermined and distracting, and even male talent I used to like gets to be kind of exhausting to watch. (Except Steve Holmes, for whatever reason.)

Cringey dirty talk.

Over-reliance on the facial. I miss seeing an occasional body-shot, cum on tits, throatpie, whatever.

Switching positions so often they don't stick to anything long enough to get off on.

Scenes billed as or trading on "big dick" but with consistently shallow penetration. I'd rather see someone slightly smaller go balls-deep.

THIS. A million times THIS.

I HATE this trend. I especially hate it when like 30 minutes or more of an hour scene is "setup". I LIKE a setup in a scene, but when it takes that long for your setup you need to rethink your scene.

Also, scenes 40 minutes or longer take up more space on my hard drive.

What could fall under my Imageset complaint I HATE when trailers use better angles for certain scenes that the main release.

I'll use Ashley Lane's latest Vixen scene as an example

Trailer has this angle when she takes her dress off

Released scene has this angle

I thought the trailer was far sexier as I wanted to see Ashley take her dress off

I am probably in the minority but I hate the lack of missionary fucking in porn these days. Maybe because I like domination porn where the guy should always be on top and the girl not in control on top. However, its annoying to me how long the cowgirl and reverse cowgirl scenes go. I realize filming the action is easier in this position which is one of the reasons they do it. However seeing a guy on top of a girl fucking her like crazy seems to have disappeared.

Yeah, this is a hard one. For "pet peeves", I was thinking more of annoying things that could be corrected. Weak cumshots is a physical limitation. Despite all the myths, there is nothing an actor can eat to change load volume. There's only two things a producer can really do:

1. Rest the actor fully between performances
2. Use actors who consistently output big loads.
3. Fake it by injecting fake cum into urethra

The problem with number 2, is you get a spike of people complaining, "how come you use the same actor all the time?" and if you look at a guy like Peter North, he's a bit of a rarity in the business to have loads, looks decent, and can perform.

Regarding number 3.....it can be done convincingly but you wince thinking about the preparation. :)

I may be in the small minority here but I do not like all the oil all over a girl body and ass. just not realistic and makes every thing feel so 'fake' . a girl body look so much better without it.

^ Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that either. Maybe it's a bit of OCD, but my mind often drifts from thinking "This scene is hot!" to "That's going to be so hard to clean up after the scene is over!"

I joined here just to see what others thought about POV. I hate it. Alex, Scott and Dirty all have nice girls, good story lines and if it was shot in 3rd person I'd watch it, but I can not get off when POV is involved.
I like missionary, I like eating pussy, I like kissing the girl I'm loving on, I like sucking the tits in front of me. None of that can happen in POV.

I understand it's hard for a 50 + guy to play the part of a innocent brother on a teen girl so POV hides him. Surely a little creative thinking can solve it.
All I know is all the POV sites out there are not getting my business.
Sis love me, Dad crush, etc, lots of them have really hot girls but the POV ruins it for me.

as far as pet peeves.
I hate spitting, if she ain't wet then lick it don't spit on it.
Why slap your dick on her pussy?
Fake tits, uugh.. moms teach could be a good site except all the moms have fake tits.
And guys, holding your arms behind you while trying to fuck is stupid. I know they sometimes get in the scene but come on. Be real.
I put myself in the scene and I'm kissing the girl and worshiping her body. She the reason I'm watching, not the guy. Treat her right.
Stop slapping and choking.
Last thing, blow jobs should never be over 10% of the scene. I fast forward through most all of them anyway.


and I know this isn't fair, but ugly guys. Geez, I know that cuts 80% of the current stars but surely good looking guys can keep a hard on long enough to make a film. Cut it and edit it but seeing a dog fucking a 10 and her acting like he's handsome is just sad. I hated Ron Jeramy or what ever his name was. Big dick sure but fat and ugly will never be offset by that.

I've been watching porn for 50+ years. Before VCRs, had to go to the drive in. Yes it's alot better today but POV is just a cheap shot.

Weird Cuts in a scene. Appreciate a scene to be a scene.
Something thats 3-5min shots stitched together feels off.

Stupid camera angles and cutaway. Alina Lopez rimming in her tushy scene, just bad

Not a fan of pissing or squirting.

Manuel scene with Lucy Mochi on JJ, the editing is horrible, no flow

1. Stupid camera angles: If I can't see the woman's pussy and butthole, I might as well watch softcore porn.

2. Poor lighting: same as above. If I can barely make out the woman's features, what's the point??.

3. Porn videos focusing on the guy.

4. Female-on-male rimjobs (far too much of it in porn nowadays). Uggh

That the porn directors all cast for and intentionally shoot GG porn with women who feel awkward and distressed doing it. That's why all that shit looks the same.

For me, it the over use of oil. One of the reasons why I'm not really into Jennifer White's newest releases is because everyone is so damn shiny. It looks like someone got too comfortable pushing the clarity slider to 100.

I don't know. Porn is just not doing it for me these days. Maybe because I've seen so much. I'm just not really caring as much. I'll always have my golden era and the scenes are on the internet forever. Well, at least for now until the Christian Nationalists get their way and criminalize adult content.

But until then, I'll enjoy the older stuff.
