Recently, a new member, clap, opened a thread entitled "Slow and Sensuous Blow Jobs: Where to find?"
I am also constantly on the lookout for such scenes, hence this rant/thread.
Perhaps the best overall BJ movie I've "come across" is Blowjob Fantasies #18 (one of the entries on member tritones list) Most of the scenes in this flick have a hot performer, very good close-ups, plenty of eye-contact, good lighting, etc.
One of the most disappointing was Blowjob Fantasies #19 (partly because my expectations were so high after #18) because it lacks many of the elements that made #18 so good
Here's my own personal list of elements that can make or break a blowjob scene (along with example scenes, directors, etc., illustrating the concepts)...
- Eye-contact - For me, lack of eye-contact is a cardinal sin - this can ruin a BJ scene even if all the other elements I like are present. Some directors seem to go out of their way to NOT have the girls look into the camera lens. Mike John, Jules Jordan, and Brandon Iron seem to consistently get this right, for which I'm forever grateful! A few current stars that really seem to understand this concept are Brianna Blaze, Nautica, Jennifer Luv and Katin...
- Camera angles - IMHO the best angles are POV - guy standing and girl kneeling (down far enough to be able to look up without much effort) - or guy lying down and girl between his legs (looking dead on into the lens). Too many scenes are RUINED by the constant camera-to-the-side angle or camera-looking-up-from-underneath angle. These should be used sparingly, for effect.
- Close-ups - I happen to love them - the more the better. Whoever does the camera work for many of the Blowjob Fantasies series does this thing where he/she zooms way in and then slowly zooms back out --- very hot!
- Spit/drool - Although not a requirement, I tend to like a fair amount of spit/drool - especially if the girl is into it (e.g., plays with the strands of spit, etc.). Inari Vachs and Anastasia Blue were two favs of mine back in the day (i.e., 2-3 years ago!)
- Obnoxious/intrusive music - I prefer to hear all the naturally-occurring sound effects. Nothing pisses me off more than mind-numbing music that drowns everything else out. LIGHT background music during an opening striptease is fine, but once the BJ starts, please turn it off!
- Outdoor scenes - With rare exception, the lighting in outdoor scenes is atrocious - too dark or too bright (a constantly-squinting performer is NOT attractive!), sunlight blotches, etc.. One recent exception was Blow Me Sandwich #2, which had almost all outdoor scenes, but was still watchable - I think they made sure that there were no clouds or complete cloud cover for the length of each scene, which probably helps. Tease scenes outdoors are cool (e.g., Jules Jordan), but BJ scenes tend to be almost unwatchable
- Ugly/small cocks - Let's face it, one of the most appealing things about a BJ scene is seeing a beautiful girl enjoying licking, sucking and deep-throating a big, nice-looking cock. Blowjob Fantasies #19 has some gorgeous girls, but some UGLY and small cocks (and shitty camera angles to boot)
- post-cum head - Although my personal favorite type of BJ scene involves swallowing, in almost all cases what I want to see is the camera lingering on the girl AFTER the cumshot - for at least 20-30 seconds. Now, I realize that a lot of girls are probably signaling for the paper towels within a few seconds of the cumshot, so I usually don't set my expectations too high. But when a scene does extend out longer than usual, I find it quite hot (sort of shows the enjoyment/enthusiasm of the performer, which adds to the scene)
- Eye contact, not camera contact - Female Energy/Enthusiasm - SOME sound (not overdone fake slurping, but not dead quiet) - Variety - Wetness/glistening - a HARD cock. Soft only acceptable if she starts with that and it gets hard quickly.
If they can make some precum come out, that's awesome!
Amen, brother! I've been on the lookout for a long time for scenes where the precum is at least visible. The best would be to see the girl stretch out a strand or two of precum with her tounge. Do you know of any scenes containing something similar?
An actress who totally enjoys giving head, and lets it show (versus one who "acts").
I think porn is mostly about "Whackability"--we're not shooting a "Gone With the Wind" thingy! The intend should be to sexually excite the viewer (and NOT just the males, but also the women--AND the couples, who might start off having sex, but end up "making love"!!!
Never lose sight of "Whackability" as necessary to every video.
Agreed, very true.Excellent point. I'll bet a lot of the rest of the good qualities of a BJ scene (summarized very nicely, thanks Cumwhipper) fall into place if the woman really enjoys both teasing the guy and getting him off. That's why I think slow is better--because fast means there is no tease, and the woman is just trying to get him off as quickly as possible.
So to your original list, Cumwhipper, I'd add a few things: (1) Slow and teasing, (2) Use of the tounge, (3) Play with balls as well as head, and (4) Passionate women who honestly enjoy a BJ. I guess another thing to be added is that the woman should be beautiful...but of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :)
I approve all these additions to the original list - esp. your #(2). A girl slapping a cock against her toungue and face is pretty hot too .
I also remember a scene in Blowjob Fantasies #11 - Maya Devine does a great scene with almost all of the requirements in our growing list. To top it all off, she winks at the camera while she's got the lucky parolee's cock deep in her mouth. Was enough to make me buy the movie! (there are 2 or 3 other pretty good scenes in it as well, but this one really stands out).
I'm in the middle of editing our last shoot (the couple fucked for over an hour, so there's A LOT of editing to do!) and I'm smack dad in the middle of the scene's longest cocksucking sequence.
What really impresses me about Xana's cocksucking is that although I think she's playing for the camera to a certain degree, it's also VERY apparent that she's there primarily to pleasure her husband Dax. You can tell by the way she touches him, and keeps "checking in" with him with glances and looks. Of course, his delight is obvious to. There are many times when I could tell that her cock sucking is making him completely forget that my wife and I were sliding around them, searching for the best angles.
The thing I like about shooting cocksucking is it's the one thing that doesn't have to be cheated for the camera. Cocksucking is a naturally cinematic sex act. You don't have to do any weird contrortions of bodies or camera angles to capture every detail.
Everything here, especially well summarized by creamlover.
It should also be apparent that the guy is squirming with pleasure, not just clocking in.

Exactly - a good bj is the least fake thing in porn, and for me often the hottest part of a scene (though some good grinding and thrusting ain't bad ).
Here's a live link to the aforementioned thread on slow and sensuous blowjobs.
Some excellent points made by cumwhipper and creamlover. I didn't even realize how many things i was looking for in a bj scene till i saw them listed above.
On top of the above I want to stress on two things that really makes a BJ scene take offff.
DEEPTHROAT. SWALLOW.
Gia paloma's scene in GSOI 2 really displays the above.
It's obvious that you care a lot about this and are very specific about what you like and like to see.
I respect your personal taste.
However, I love seeing blowjobs as much as you but I'm coming from a whole 'nother place, as far as what turns me on in a porn blowjob.
First things first, I'm not a big POV fan. I think they are fine as part of the total package, but long, POV only blowjob scenes will bore me. Having said that, WITH THE EXCEPTION of POV angles, I HATE WHEN GIRLS LOOK INTO THE CAMERA DURING BLOW JOBS! And even during POV, I don't want the girl looking into the camera the whole time.
Most guys love blow jobs. Most girls give them because they know that guys love them. But the real turn-on, for me anyway, is when the girl is giving a no-holds barred, enthusiastic blow job, because SHE loves it. Or at least gives that illusion. In sex, one of the manifestations of completely losing yourself to the pleasure, especially with girls, is when their eyes close and when they make unforced, or unscripted noise. I love that. I love it when the girl's eyes roll back into her head and her eyes close and you have the sense that she is completely given over to the rapture. Whether it is acting or real, this is the image that turns me on. I can't get that when the girl is looking into the camera the whole time.
When I see too much looking into the camera, especially when not in POV, that gives me the sense that the girl is listening to direction, and playing to the camera too much for an audience purpose, rather than completely focusing on her partner or really feeling the moment.
A lot of times, especially in standing POV close-up, you will see a girl really starting to feel it and her eyes are rooling back in her head, or she is closing them, and the guy getting the head is barking at her, "look at me, open your eyes", which snaps her out of her reverie and brings her back from an enjoying participant who's really felling it, to a performer taking direction.
One of the other reasons that I'm not crazy over POV, is that I don't like extended or endless close-up in my porn.
I want to see the woman's whole body. Even if it's a blow job. ESPECIALLY if it's a blow job.
One of the psychological aspects of porn that is an attraction for many males is the images of beautiful women doing what you want. The male standing\female kneeling before him blow job position is probably the most visually stimulating for most guys, for the worship\submission imagery it projects. Being able to see the woman's entire body as she's on her hands and knees, or if she is back on her haunches with her knees under her, as she worships at the male member is a HUGE turn-on that you don't always get with POV. It also allows for the visual of the male placing his hands on or around her head, which turns most guys on and feeds into the domination\submission fantasy.
Finally, I'm not a big "hands-on" blow job enthusiast. I don't like when a girl spends entirely too much time stroking and jacking when she should be sucking. Or stroking while she is just barely sucking.
I suppose you could separate blow jobs into two categories, a) something that she's giving, with all the obligatory handling, licking, stroking, kissing, jacking, etc..., and b.) something that she's receiving, i.e., face-fucking. A great blowjob for me, will have elements of both, but by far the ruining of it will be too much hand work by the girl. This used to really bother me a lot with some of the bigger female stars of porn who seemed to give the attitude that their presence was the big thing, and they didn't have to do the down and dirty things that a lot of us porn afficiandos were looking for.
Surprisingly, I liked a lot of Rodney Moore's old blow job scenes.
They contained plenty of POV action, (eyes open and closed, smile!), plus there was plenty of camera on the tripod or separate cameraperson, full body from the side or behind action.
In the same blow job you would get plenty of dick love action from the girl, and plenty of good ol' skull fucking from him.
Finally, for the most part he kept the girl's hands off his dick.
And of course, the great finishes.
Works for me.
The only thing I could probably live without is all the excess saliva and saliva play. I don't know where that all came from, but it's really gotten out of hand.
And the guys spitting on girls or in their mouths. WHAT IS THAT! Is anybody turned on by this?
I love that too, but only when it's real. I might be wrong, but my impression is that women don't enjoy a BJ at an orgasmic level...they enjoy it at the level of pleasing their man, or watching their man orgasm--much as guys enjoy seeing/hearing women orgasm. So if a girl is rolling the eyes back on a BJ, I tend to think that she is faking it...and if I can tell that she is faking it, that is an automatic turnoff for me.
With that in mind, a "real" indication of a woman's enjoyment during a BJ would be lots of eye contact (she derives pleasure from watching the man), and the "real" indicators of pleasure during vaginal sex would be gasping and rolling eyes, etc.
There may be exeptions to this. For example, I understand the actress Chloe claims to have anal orgasms...but whether or not that is faked, I absolutely love seeing that expression of uncontrollable ecstasy when she cums. I guess what it comes down to is that I can't tell whther that is faked because she is so good; but I already know a BJ can't produce orgasms, so I don't believe it no matter how convincingly it is done.
And I certainly don't think that women are "orgasming" while giving blow jobs.
But you can tell with the best cocksuckers how much they personally and physically are enjoying the act for themselves, as much as for the pleasure it gives their partner.
Have you seen the way Julie Night sucks a dick? Or Ashley Blue? Gia Paloma? Alexandria Quinn? These girls, hungrily, GREEDILY go after cock. And completely lose themselves in the act. It is almost breathtaking to watch the ardor with which they, and the other really passionate cocksuckers get to a whole 'nother place when they are sucking dick. They're almost inhaling dick, to the point where the guy is almost reduced to just a life support system for this glorious cock that they HAVE TO HAVE. And the girls hyperventilate and get glassy-eyed and they make noises they can't recreate and they completely lose it. I remember the 70's and 80's porn star with the bad snake tattoo named Viper. She was another one. When she sucked a dick it was almost an out of body experience for her. And me too. Her eyes would roll back in her head and her tongue would loll and the guy would about pass out from the force of her efforts.
These people aren't playing to the camera, nor are they looking at it all that much. They are almost completely invested in what they're doing, and that turns me on.
No, these girls may not be orgasming from giving head, but judging from their enthusiasm and responses, I gotta believe that they are getting much more out of this than just the joy of pleasuring their partner.
And if this is all acting, then give me more of that.
Regarding BSD's and clap's comments about eye-contact: I understand what you're saying. Enthusiasm can outweigh lack of eye-contact if the girl is really enjoying herself. In cases like that, sometimes only the occasional glance at the camera lens is enough.
The rest is just personal preference - but hey, it's a big tent (LOL) - plenty of room for everyone's personal likes and dislikes.
