I know were supposed to be convinced that what we are watching is two people so hot for each other they forget that they are being filmed having wild sex. But the constant spitting and licking of the fingers and rubbing the pussy w/ the change of position gets to me.
Whats so wrong w/ a girl or guy lubing up now and then. Even a little for the guy as he tries to deliver the money shot at the end. IMHO I dont think it would ruin the scene.

I think the prevalence and intermixing of P2M, A2M, X2M, cum swapping, spit swapping, etc. makes lube a problem. Maybe lube is foul tasting? Lube can get sticky and messy, and require reapplication and periodic cleanups; maybe this is too much interruption on the porn set? I think lube should be used more often; it would facilitate better performances, especially anal. Spit (regardless of volume) just doesn't do the job. In "Golden Age" porn, when anals were rare, the application of lube was actually a part of the scene. In the Caught From Behind series, Ron Jeremy would apply lube, then use 1 finger, then 2, then the real thing. The "working up to it" was erotic, and allowed some nice ass-worship visuals before cluttering the screen with man parts.

This is a great post, i couldn't agree more and ninja your point about the ron jeremy scene, i have an oldish Evil Angel DVD, Hardball #17, the first scene on that is pretty much the same, the lubing up of the girls ass really adds to the scene and is better than the penetration, thinking about it, wouldn't it be excellent to see Briana or Jenny get this treatment! Please!!

Somewhere along the line lube got lumped into the "it's not sexy" category that condoms and male faces are in. It shouldn't be, for lots of reasons, but it's not hard for me to imagine why it is.
1. Applying lube interrupts the action.
It should be part of the action, as mentioned in the previous posts.
2. It detracts from the fantasy.
The fantasy that the woman is so hot for the sex that she is sopping wet is unrealistic. Even if she's dripping wet for the first 15 minutes, an hour later when the scene is only half shot she's just not likely to be so moist.
3. Technical difficulties.
This point isn't viewer based. Many lubes get foamy or gloppy when combined with some body fluids from some people. (i.e. it doesn't happen to everyone, or with every lube) Foaming genitals are considered unsightly on a porn set. It takes longer to shoot the scene, and the scene doesn't tend to flow as well, when performers are stopping every few minutes to wipe off.
4. Technical difficulties.
Again, not viewer based. So much porn is made on shoe-string budgets today that many directors/camera men have no idea what they are doing. They don't know how to direct the performers to be creative or set moods. They only know how to shoot a formula. Their formula doesn't include lube play.
I'm sure there are other reasons, too. I'm pretty sure of these ones.

Good point Ninja 1, I remember the 80's porn. My first Anal views came in an AssMasters magazine. One of the hottest parts was the pages of the guy w/ a jar of Vaseline "preparing" her ass for action.
I guess that's why I like the "Big Wet Asses" films, it just looks much more comfortable and natural. But I guess there are lots of edits that have to be done to get the right over all look.

Kimi, Thanks for your input, You show that there are lots more to think about than the fantasy.
I would think that there would be a niche for the process since everything else has become a niche. I just saw a video on Videobox.com were each scene ends w/[ invalid url ] Now I know its a totaly differnt idea but for one theme, let the lube fly and foam build, a little less close ups, and let the models enjoy!

I'm all for loads of lube, I think it's sexy to see the girls having their asses all oily, like in big wet asses, and It's much more comfortable for the girl too with loads of lube

I agree that we should see some lube application in porn scenes. I think it adds to the realism. That said, there are some really good water-based lubes out there that only require a single application. When the water evaporates or gets absorbed into the skin, all that's need to reactivate the other ingredients is a little more water to slick it back up. Saliva will serve this purpose just as well. Adding more and more lube on top of itself will only make it stickier. Again the water will evaporate and absorb, and you'll be stuck with a thicker layer of glycerin, which is a sugar alcohol. So don't assume that the performers are fucking sans lube. All that spitting could be serving the convenient function of making already-applied lube slippery again.

Warrenwest,if you are a fan of solo action,or some lesbian action with the girls using loads of lube you could check out some british titles.This is a link to Lubed,i am not sure what the series goes up to,i seen one ages ago but the girls in it use loads of lube..it's not called lubed for nothing.If it is your thing you could always head to the Marketplace and put an ad stating that you are looking for these titles,not sure where you are from so be sure to get the right section..good luck.

I actually find lubing up the lady either in her pussy or ass an erotic experience. And this is something I'd like to see done in porn movies just for the fun of it, even if the lady doesn't need any lube.
To see the lady so full of lube that the guy goes balls deep on her in the blink of an eye making that lube squirt out of her hole is the ultimate fantasy for me. And it's something I almost never see in porn movies. I've seen it happen only once. Some liquid squirted out of the lady's asshole, when the big guy invaded her ass. And it looked accidental.
I see no reason why more 'accidents' like that shouldn't happen in porn movies. I think this kind of squirting in response to a big cock barging inside the lady's hole looks a lot more spectacular and hot than the solo squirting we see now from some ladies.

Surely the drier the better? Dry anal helps produce more... natural... reactions from the girls.

Why not shoot ALL girls having oil enemas like Brree Olson in BWA 10?

Dick abrasion could elicit some... natural... reactions from you I'm sure. Or perhaps we might try shoving something large up your arse with no lube yes?

I think Kimi pretty much has it covered and Pagoda too. Good quality lube that doesn't go sticky like Pjur Bodyglide costs a little more but it works, doesn't taste or smell of anything, doesn't go white or goopy and stays slippery forever -it's lovely fun to play with. It's a shame we don't get to see more lube drizzled onto a cock during a great hand job, I like the way cock looks when it's all shiny.

I was going to say boobs too because I like that look and so does my sweetheart but I thought that'd just attract the negative attention of those who say they don't like to see the man's hands on any part of the girl. I so don't get porn - when I watch, I want to see the guy, I want to see him pour lube on a girl's tits and swirl it all around and play - I want it to be an exciting interaction between two people and I'm happy being the voyeur third (without having to imagine myself into the scene) - those very long tease segments where the girl does this herself are okay but I get to snoring if it goes on too long.

Good point(s).
I'm kind of split, because scenes containing a lot of preperation caters to people who love tease stuff, so the real action is usually cut short or the scenes becoming too long. I prefer when lube is used swiftly, I like the thought of a woman wanting it right now, not having time to prepare for 20 minutes. I don't care so much if it's obvious that lube is used because it's part of the performers making the scene work (which I find makes for the hottest scenes, those where the director takes a step back to see what happens).

Loraine - I agree w/ your comments about handjobs. I know the difference, lube makes all the whole experience feel better from the guys POV. Nice to know that you like the look too.

The "long scene" issue is easily solved by having a chapter break at the end of the tease segment, so viewer needs only to press the 'skip' button and bypass the tease.

Longer scenes also means fewer scenes and/or 2-disc sets (or worst case scenario: higher compression/lower quality video). And it feels kind of unnecessary to buy a movie and skip half of every scene. Don't get me wrong, I like a short tease and little warm up, but the whole 'extended worshipping of a single body part' isn't my thing. Sure it's a nice ass, that's why I want to see it get fucked![:P)]

To each his/her own. I like tease, the more the better. There is plenty of space on dvd's, and there is always the option of multiple discs, as you mentioned. I doubt that porn producers are agonizing over decisions about scene duration vs. number of scenes.
VHS is history. It's time to utilize the technology we have. Easy navigation within scenes is an obvious solution to the problem of everybody having their own "love this/hate that" list.

Warren,
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. In fact, sometimes I think it can add to the heat.
I'm sure you're familiar with the scene Avy Scott did for racksandblacks.com.
I'm sure you remember how a nervous Avy squirted a huge amount of lube on the guys enormous cock before she tried to take him in the cowgirl position. After a few minutes of struggling with his size she climbed off the guy, grabbed the bottle of lube again, and gave his cock a second coat. She even said something like "I don't think there's enough lube in the world"...remember?
This was a case where I think using lube made the scene super hot. It was obvious that Avy was struggling and she needed the lube to handle this guy. I think it made the scene more real, and as a result it was outstanding.

I think its a real hypocracy when it takes British porn to have both elements of good lesbian sex with oil action...doesnt that bother you people ?? :(
WHY CANT AMERICAN PORN STUDIOS have wet oily lesbian fucking videos??
im serious :) they should start making more series dedicated to oily wet strap-on dildo fucking lesbian all-girl videos!!!!!
OHH YEAHH :) THINK ABOUT IT

I'm not afraid of lube, I always say better to have more than less. Some girls, like Hillary Scott actually prefer spit. I like lube, lots of it-I like it slimy and nasty. Forget about baby oil, or olive oil = UTI!!! Water based lubes suck for anal, they burn and dry up very fast. I really like j-lube, elbow grease, and plain old crisco for "big toy" fisting anal fun, it's part of the process, fags do it all the time. God bless fags:)

I agree. ;)
Anyway, I'd love to see more lube in anal porn. Except that I won't see it, since I've ... er, stopped watching it. That might present a little problem?

Vaseline is petroleum-based, and therefore should not be used with latex; will cause the latex to break down. Something to be aware of.
I read somewhere (don't remember where) the lube used by veterinarians (for cows/horses) works well for human bigtoy/fisting play.

there's some lubing up in at least one scene in Jake Malone's new Nice Fucking View 3, and somehow just seeing one gal lube up the guy's dick before he fucked the other was HOT (sorry, don't remember which pair, either the first or second on disc 2).

I personally don't like lube at at all. Lube is like fake tits.
I would never jerk off with lube and I hope the girl is wet enough to fuck her without lube. If not, you can always spit.

That happens only to people whose dicks got deformed by circumcision. Otherwise the foreskin just moves smoothly and makes it all pleasant.

I'd say that man's cum is the best natural lube you can find. And it works better than spit or any artificial lube.
That's why I love to see a post-cum man plunge his cum-coated dick back inside the lady for the last time. That cum-lubricated dick of his slips inside the lady like greased lightning.
Too bad such action is almost non-existent in today's porn movies.
I would love to see at least one scene where a guy spills his cum around the lady's asshole. And then uses that cum to lubricate some more of his plunging inside the lady's ass.

IntHeZoNE,
Maybe its me, but I have seen Avy get away with alot of things I think other girls don't. I agree that her "Racks and Blacks'- "Oh My God" scene is unique. She was out of practice but she wanted that big thing all the way in her @ all costs. But she always seemed to do things her way. I guess she knew how to negotiate w/ the director or camera man to get her demands in. Not to disrupt the scene, just so that she could be comfortable. I THINK I can tell when she wasn't comfortable w/ a scene and when she was getting what she wanted. Even when it seems a little off script for the theme of the site or disc. But I am so biased w/ her i could be way off....

A few years ago we sampled K Y Silk. That made a huge difference for us. It is the best lube we have tried but how can I dispute Sasha Grey about lube. Not that have been anal fisting my wife with Silk... but there is always time!!!

Didn't know Oil enemas increase the risk for UTI Sasha? Like someone mentioned the scene in BWA10, it's so damn hot though :)
Lube enemas would do just as nicely. The thick mucous like texture getting blasted into the air really needs to be presented in more scenes :) I guess I'm over milk already.

You have to use lube…well at least I do. Spit just doesn’t do it for handjobs. But because Im such a nice guy I get strawberry flavored (low carb, yes it actually says low carb) lube so that way after the handjob there is not problem with the blowjob. So far everyone has liked it.
