Then i'd probably go by the body type of the performer and then the performers themselves.

1. director's record - Yes, i.e., Kristen Bjorn, Matt Sterling, John Rutherford, Lucas Kazan, Wash West, William Higgins, Bruce Cam, George DuRoy and to a lesser extent Jim Steel, John Travis, Steven Scarborough & a few others - I tend to avoid Chi Chi LaRue unless I already know something about the video or have heard that it was good from a 'reliable' source & Robert Prion is the kiss of death


2. performer - There are a few performers I follow these days, mostly ones who have branched out from some of the European-staged videos. California produces way too much quantity and way too little quality and the performers are in all of it - a performer I like gets me to notice a video but the quality of the video itself will determine if I buy


3. pairing of performers - no, not really


4. body type of performers - I like lots of different body types (as long as they are lithe to muscular and good looking to handsome) and the directors I like like my types


5. cover art (tasteful or raunchy) - seldom indicative of what's inside


6. studio's record - in a few cases, yes; in most cases, no. Most of them put out too much junk along with too few good titles - especially the CA (& NY) based studios


7. title - if the title has a military or jock theme, it piques my interest, otherwise, no


8. other ? I think you've covered the bases
