First of all, I'm a "first time caller, long time listener." This forum is fascinating!

And my screen name is one I use across a bunch of boards, and it refers to a German actress known for films I do not find hot but rather stupefyingly hilarious. I hope that the fact that I find german films of this sort to be that way doesn't upset any one here. If the mods prefer that I use another name, please let me know.

Picked up "In Thru the Out Door" yesterday and am intrigued by Sasha Grey: although I thought she was overly mannered in that scene, she's obviously got something special.

This brings me to what I wanna ask you guys: what is it—what spark, what je ne sais quoi—that makes any performer that you're a fan of different than their peers in the biz? What makes them special?

At a job, i got a bunch of JKP DVDs for free for a year. So I saw a lot of what their contract performers were about. I know absolutely nothing about Ashton Moore in real life— she could very well be a perfectly decent person, and I bet she is. But I've never seen a scene where she isn't going through the motions. And her look is very generic—obviously the way she looks is the fukkin' standard of American babe-dom, but she never got me.

Conversely, her fellow colleague Jenna Haze would always make me feel like she was present in any scene. She got a fan for life in "Fast & Female" when, while she was eating one girl's pussy and another was eating her ass, her foothold slipped on the ledge of the back of the SUV they were getting down in. She goes "OW," then giggles that incredible stoner giggle, and then goes back to the dirty talk and licking.

So I think her natural-ness—in the sense that I've seldom seen a scene where she wasn't present and in the moment, and that she seems completely spontaneous most of the time— is what makes her so deeply charming. As well as her eyes, mouth and ass, obv.

Also, I was very impressed with Tory Lane in one of the A2M movies, when she openly and dismissively dissed the Euro-trash dude who had been degrading her and another girl verbally (I don't dig it when dudes do this). She said "just fuck us, dude" with evident disgust— while at the same time she was obviously eager to get plowed. again, this clearly intelligent, gutsy lady got a fan for life.

I could go on and on about what I find captivating other performers I'm into (Roxy Jezel's verbalizing, Lauren Phoenix's height and sweatiness, every single thing about Belladonna except the dyed blonde butch haircut) but I wanna know what you guys think about the performers you're fans of.

Looking forward to a lot of good discussions with y'all.

I think it's what makes anything special to you be it a sports team, music, a certain movie. There is an obvious passion you sense in what they're doing and you connect with that and want to see where they take that. When I first saw Ariana Jollee for instance, I just sensed something different about her, that she went for it in her scenes and totally immersed herself in the scene and in her partner. Ariana would get this devlish grin on her face at certain times in a scene and I knew right then and there she was fully in the moment and I totally got it and got off on it so many times thanks to her. There are many other girls who do this for me along those same lines, Hillary Scott, Tory Lane, Georgia Peach, Katja Kassin to name but a few.

I have to agree with bono. you just connect with a star's performance. I didn't have a favorite actress until i saw Gauge and Aurora Snow. they always just "go for it" when they do a scene. Cytheria, Leah Luv, Daisy, and Audrey Hollander are on my must buy list for the same reason.

It's just that sense of likening to fuck. I see so many girls who obviously do this for cash and not the sex, so when I see a girl such as Sandra Romain come around, I can't help but to be a big fan. To me if a girl can get into the sex and make US feel that she is, that is what's so special to me.

Veronica, I think you hit it on the head for me when you mentioned getting into the moment. I know that often it's just an act, but my favorite pornstars are capable of forgetting about the camera for stretches and really go for the gusto. I like women who can talk. Not just spout things the director told them to say. A lively sense of humor doesn't hurt either. Jenna Haze is a perfect example of both, as is Christie Lee. Daniella Rush used to slay me with her dry wit, not to mention her stunning beauty.

If we could bottle (or define) "it" we would make a fortune. NBC tossed big money and a long contract to Alan Thicke because they thought he had it, when it was Kirk Cameron. Hollywood parades picture beautiful (which if you can take implants Ashton Moore is, or was) that are one shot wonders (or just one shot) because they thought they found people with that special something, when they were just animate manikans.

One of my favorite stars is Michelle Wilde. To be honest, in the cold light of day there are and have been many performers who look as good, or better. Tricia Deveraux will tell you that in her early scenes, she wasn't the same performer as later. But I only saw the later scenes. There she has that look in her eye that connects.

yeah, that's what the real Veronoica Moser was notorious for. About six years ago, my pal sent me some clips, and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I'm so impressed that you know who she is, Miss Grey! Altho' I guess you coulda just googled her.

The kind of moment I'm thinking of occurred in the only film I've seen of yours, SG. After you and Voyeur had finished, when he tried to goad you into saying "bye from Teen Town," you looked into the camera and said "umm, bye" instead. the look on your face at the time said "yeah, whatever with you and yr teen town, dude." Maybe I'm wrong about what you thought of him saying that, but it seemed very revealing.

The two things that usually get me are:

1) Enjoyment. I want to see girls who look like they like what they are doing.

2) A girl who seems to be showing her real emotions. I like to see the real girl as much as possible rather than a persona.

A good example of #2 is Catalina. She was always so "on the surface." I loved her scene in Cockless 2 where she was with another girl for the first time and basically kept us updated with how she felt about it. Really though, she was like this is just about every scene I ever saw with her. I never saw her Max Hardcore scenes which might be quite intense if she maintained her normal emotional transparency in the face of Max's shenanigans.

Sometimes the directors would orchestrate her actions so thoroughly that it would be hard to see the real girl in there, but she was always trying to come out. An example of this was in a Mike John film where as she was either getting DP'd or about to be, he asked her if she was a romantic in her scenes (which of course is a loaded word in the Mike John world) her reaction was "If the guys let me."

Faith in A Good Source of Iron showed both traits. That of course got me very interested in her.

The first scene I ever saw with Jenna Jameson was in Up'n Cummers. She so obviously enjoyed what she was doing there that I was not suprised when she became a superstar.

What is it? Is it the looks? the way she stares? the way she sucks? or the way she cares? The way she fucks? the way she wiggles? or kills with her eyes? the way she jiggles? How tight she looks? How she makes you feel? How she uses her tongue? or how she spikes here heels? The way she looks in stages of undress? To all the above, I hereby say Yes!

Let me 2nd that...
Currently I've become a real Sunny Lane fan. She looks like she has #1 & #2.

I have 3 DVD's - all of which she is on the cover.

Cum Stained Casting Couch #2 (Manuel Ferrara)

Fresh New Faces 6 (Manuel Ferrara) - In addition to the main scene - which is very hot -Sunny & Manule get it on in the BTS - certainly very real

Whale Tail 1 w/ Mark Ashley.

The sex is very real or she is the best actress in porn these days.

Georgia Peach

Sandra Romain

Nikki Hunter

Faith Leon

Stormy Daniels

Well, first of all, as most others have said, they really need to enjoy what they're doing and it's just so obvious if they don't. I don't personally have a problem with women who are only in it for the money but I wish directors who want to make quality erotica wouldn't use them.

And then, there are the women who just know how to put on a good show. Good porn has to look as good as it feels for the talent and they need to be aware of what looks good on a screen and what doesn't. A video screen just can't do justice to the human body and good talent needs to know how to compensate for that without overcompensating with obviously exaggerated motions, sounds and so forth. It's one thing to enjoy having sex. It's quite another to enjoy it and make it look like you're enjoying it on a two-dimensional screen.

The best female performers (IMHO) seem to know how to put themselves in the shoes of the male porn consumer and what he wants to see. Whether they just naturally know these things or research them, I don't know but some women are obviously natural performers.

Since the ancient Greeks the western beauty ideal is perfectly symmetrical, well proportioned athletic bodies. On top of this base, representations of masculine and feminine beauty have shown greater variability, but current feminine beauty ideals accentuate the anatomical differences of the female form by emphasizing larger (enhanced if necessary) breasts and ample shapely bottoms.

But porn isn’t just modeling, it’s a performance that requires the actor to connect with his/her audience. This is best achieved through eye contact. Not only with onscreen partners but also with the audience which can be seduced with a direct glance into the camera. Here expressive beautiful eyes can make all the difference. A porn star can use her eyes to communicate a wide range of emotions: the desire to please, lust, anticipation and most of all sexual gratification.

No one uses a naughty glance or a bat of the eyelashes more effectively than TJ Hart and Tina Tyler. But my personal fav’s Sydnee Steele and Savanna Samson are special because because they combine all of these attributes into the entire package.

Jeanna Fine was especially good at this. I think that she was both much more intelligent than the average porn actress and also interested in giving as good a show as she could. I read an interview or two with her where she talked about her interest in maximizing visual impact in her scenes and the ways she had thought about how to do that.

She is also quite a nice woman. I met her at in store once and when I showed that I was familiar with her films she was very friendly to me and my wife.

That's like asking what makes your girlfriend special, first something, and then everything, in diffirent kind of ways.

I prefer natural, in every way, but sometimes a woman like Nikki Hunter comes on screen with her dirty talk... and that's what I like about porn, you give performers a chance to win you over, it's nothing like watching a photograph judging by looks alone.

When it comes to male performers, what makes them special is one thing: They're very horny, that it's not just another day at work aided by the magic blue pill.

I personally am just learning about some of the new talent out there (thanks to this wonderful forum) for the simple reason that I have a tendency to find a handful of favorites and stick to viewing their movies. With certain ladies (and directors), you know what you are getting for your money, and I am more than happy to help support their careers.

There is no one look that catches my eye. It's certainly more of an "IT" factor. Some girls have "IT", while others are just going through the motions and it's easy to tell that they would rather be elsewhere.

Simply put:

I get off watching people who love fucking as much as I love fucking.
