beginning to appreciate scenes from 10-20 years ago more and more. they were just as hot as todays scenes but rarely were over 20 -25 minutes in length. me personally i would rather watch 3 or 4 really hot 20 minute scenes in a viewing session then one 90 minute scene. seems mainly the gonzo companies like evil angel who are doing 50 -90 minute scenes in almost every movie. my mind tends to drift after a half hour no matter how hot the girl is or how hot the action is. anyone else agree with me on this ? sometimes longer is not always better when you have a life outside of watching porn.
I thought that I was the only person who had this opinion. I’m not opposed to long scenes as they certainly offer value for money, but I find myself watching more scenes – new and old – where the scene is a more natural length. I’m a huge fan of directors like Mike Adriano and Jay Sin, and I wouldn’t suggest they stop what they’re doing, but regular, mainstream hardcore porn doesn’t always have to be an endurance test.
I'm sure it's cheaper for a company to shoot one scene and milk it for 90 minutes than to shoot 3 or 4 scenes and edit them down to 20 minutes each. But I agree; I'd pay more to see more scenes. The one 90 minute scene ends up with lots of fast forward time.
I agree, 25 to 30 minutes is the ideal scene length for me. Unless you're talking about a gangbang, then I'm fine with something in the 50 minute range.
Funny you bring this up -- the last couple of years, half a dozen girls I've talked to about porn have told me the same sort of thing. They want 5 minutes of tease/buildup with the performers stripping naked mixed in with foreplay, then 5 minutes or so of oral warm-up, after that they want to see the girl pounded all-out for 5 to 10 minutes until the guy can't hold back from cumming, and then a minute or two of aftermath. They're sick of waiting while guys robo-fuck girls for 30, 40, 50 minutes and then the guy strokes himself off at the end. One exception to the time limit is if the guy shoots his load and wants another round of fucking, he should get another 5 to 10 minutes of hard pounding with the girl. Another exception is they also like to see the guy cum and then finish the girl by any means necessary, so they're okay with him taking another 5 to 10 minutes to make her cum. But if neither performer cums in 10 minutes it means they're just aren't all that into it.

Also totally disagree. I like scenes around 60 min or even longer. I watch a lot of Mike Adriano and Jay Sin scenes and they are usually always that long. Longer scenes are way better in my opinion, because you have more time for the teasing part to show off the girls body. You also have more time for diffrent positions and you dont have to switch the positions so fast.
I think that since many people have different taste and are into different kinds of acts in porn, the longer scenes are more versatile and so they will satisfy more people.
I agree with you. I can understand some people wanting shorter scenes but I think those people are the ones who want to or try to sit through the entire scene...which I don't think most people do or try to do. The trouble with shorter scenes is if you're a fan of certain positions or certain things you might not get as much of those things as you may want. If you're really into the tease in the longer scenes you'll probably be able to get your fill. If you don't simply fast-forward pat the stuff you don't like to the stuff you do. Longer scenes just mean more options to watch more of what you want to see. Now there are some scenes that are long and have filler to just make the scene longer. Some directors will have shots of guys riding around in a car or standing around just talking for about 10 minutes talking about nothing remotely interesting seemingly in an effort to make the scene longer. In my opinion, in a Gonzo movie, any scenes that last more than a few minutes without the girl is filler.
^I can see why both of you guys want longer scenes and I can even appreciate where you are coming from but have you guys realised that a longer scene doesn't mean that you will actually get any real variety. I think we can all agree that most of the porn made today is gonzo and more importantly it is gonzo filmed and marketed to target a single theme. That's why producers shoot and market scene/movies based on the core audience the are trying to reach. A gonzo b/g scene will only include vaginal sex if that is the core audience they shot the content for. That's also why if they are going for the anal fan than the scene will have mostly all anal with very little else. If it's a g/g scene than it will either be very raunchy or very soft. rarely will it have both in the scene or movie. How many scene can you guys remember where the 60 minute long scene doesn't break down like this: 10 minute of the girl parading semi-nude to nude, 5-10 minutes of foreplay where it's mostly the girl blowing a guy that already has a hard on and then it's mostly only vaginal or anal(as the case may be) for another 30-40 minutes, which is often interrupted because the girl has to taste what the dick taste like and then the scene ends with the guy stopping to fuck the girl, stands up, gets in front of the girl and then comes in her mouth or on her face? is that really variety? Maybe it is for you guys but it's certainly isn't for me and that's why I think a shorter 30 or so minute scene is plenty of time to cover everything that the scene was going to cover during 60 minutes.
yeah shorter is better. im with op. i start daydreaming after 20 or 30 minutes. idealy a scene should be anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. no longer than that.
I'm fine with some amount of teasing and foreplay, but strange as this may sound, I don't think more positions for longer periods of time is inherently better, the same way a book isn't necessarily better if it is longer with more characters. A porn scene should set a certain mood and the performers should take on particular roles, and the number of positions and length of the scene should be driven by making that work, not by a "more is always better" mentality. There are certain girls I think are hot and want to see fucked every way possible in every situation possible, but not with it all spliced together into a single huge scene with the same guy(s). It is better if she does a bunch of scenes, each of which is more focused. Work up a sweat -- strip tease, standing positions for 10 minutes, cum in her pussy, standing anal positions for 15 minutes, cum in her ass Office quickie -- yank her tits out and panties aside, 5 minutes of doggy style over a table, then cum in her mouth Romance -- lots of foreplay, goes down on her until she cums, 10 minutes of missionary and spoon, cum inside her Man takes charge -- rips her clothes off, face-fucking, hair pulling doggy, prone-bone anal, cum on her face Horny cowgirl -- morning blowjob, then she rides him for 15 minutes until he cums inside her One night stand -- mutual undress, mutual masturbation, missionary for 2 minutes, guy cums early, 69, cowgirl, cums on her ass Threesome -- you get the idea
glad to see a lot of people agree with me. i can understand a marathon scene once in a while. also agree gangbang and specialty scenes should be over 30 minutes. its just far too many standard 1 on 1 scenes are going for longer is better. i also tend to join huge mega sites with unlimited downloads rather then buying individual dvds. so the bang for your buck thing doesnt apply to me but i guess does to those who like watching actual dvds.
I'd say about 30-40 minutes of actual action is about right for me. Typically anything longer is just the director trying to fill time for the sake of doing so. I think when JULES JORDAN and some of the EVIL ANGEL guys went through their 2 DVDs for one movie period their scenes went on for too long. There's still an EA director or two that I feel wastes too much time with he girls simply just walking around while he follows them with the camera. But then again this might all come down to how each person watches a movie. When a person watches a scene do they do so with the expectation to watch the entire scene? Or just get to the part that does it for them the most?
^When I watch a scene my goal is to watch the whole thing. Obviously sometimes I don't last that long tho. There are some scenes with certain sites and directors (BangBros and Adriano for example) where I skip the endless walk and talk thing which saves a lot of time.
So you're saying that every vaginal position and every anal position is the same, and switching those positions doesn't count as variety? Because I disagree with you, and I think a lot of other people do, too.
Who is doing 90 minute scenes except Manual Ferrara in his Raw series. Everything else is mostly 25-30 minutes. The 25-30 minutes scenes consist of 15 minutes of women giving the guy a blowjob and 15 minutes of actual penetration.
^ I take it you've never watched an Adriano scene? Regarding Ferrara's Raw series, I actually give it a pass even though I prefer shorter scenes. He's actively trying to channel a feeling of naturalism, so lots of editing would run against the unvarnished approach he's going for.
Seems to me it would just depend on how long you can jack off. With a Fleshlight I can edge for about an hour, so I like longer scenes. I hate having to to stop and find another scene during a good wanking session.
No that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that a scene doesn't have to include every position to be good but if it does go ahead and include every possible position than it's going to be long regardless that there is a modicum of editing done. I have no problem with a scene being more than 30 minutes but the only time where that was not a problem was in a scenario based scene where about a quarter of the time was dedicated to the story and the rest was to the sex. A long gonzo scene with multiple sexual position is sort of like going to eat at a buffet. Yes, it's great that you can eat a little of everything but ultimately don't you sort of prefer eating specific things and don't you somehow feel as though you didn't really get to eat as much of the things as you wanted because you wound up eating a little of everything. Of course maybe that is more me than other people.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt scenes were running unnecessarily long. I prefer shorter, more precise scenes... showing the things I want to see. When I'm whacking it, it could be a certain angle or position that gets my balls boiling and that's where the pause feature comes in handy. I don't need to see it repeated for 10 minutes. Not sure if I'm the only one wired that way... In my website, I don't separate the tease footage from the hardcore. I like to get right to the meat and potatoes of porn. - Jimmy Hooligan (@jimmyhooligan) The Official Jimmy Hooligan Site
I was never a fan of the 14 to 22 min scenes in the back in the day a lot of these scenes were heavily edited boooo. I am ok with a 30 to 40 min scene if everyone in the scene is really into the action and the girl or girls are really hot.
I think the trend started because DVD releases with 5 or 6 scenes would often boast about having 2 1/2 hours of content. Then when sales began to dry up they had to cut back on the amount of scenes to remain profitable. So they started padding the scenes out so they could still keep putting that 2 1/2 hour label on the box. I'm not adverse to the idea of long scenes but much of the stuff I see these days seems to drag on too long and would benefit greatly from some tighter editing. It's kind of like when CDs became popular and all of a sudden every band seemed to think their albums had to be 60-70 minutes long to fill the disc and you would end up with a lot of crap that wasn't up to snuff, as a result.

Seems reasonable but scenes got long before the industry downturn. I think it is just because the technology makes it easier to shoot loads and editing is time consuming so reducing that saves on production.

I prefer scenes to be at least 25 to 30 minutes. Anything less than 20 minutes is a letdown imo. It leaves you wanting more. When it comes to my all time favorite, Ashley Adams. I love when she has scenes that are 45 minutes or longer. I always hope for her to have scenes that are at least 30 minutes, same goes for other performers I enjoy.

Well it all depends on the level of intensity of the scene and the skill from the director. I don't mind 40 mins, just as long as it isn't repetitive. Gangbangs are perfect for 40+, Blowbangs 25-33, Threeways 25-30, 1 v 1 22-30, POV 17-20
^whoop dee do. I'm 50 and I wouldn't have any problem masturbating for 40 minutes. It's just that I have way better things to do with my time than watch variation of the same thing for 40 minutes just so that I can get an orgasm.
Personally I prefer scenes to be 30-35/40mins. Enough time for it to contain a decent amount of sex, short enough so that there's not an endless amount of time spent on the intro/tease/plot.
its kind of weird too that most "feature" scenes are far more shorter and to the point than "gonzo" scenes. it use to be that gonzo porn was supposed to be fairly realistic , raw, and spontaneous feeling. now almost every gonzo scene is 35 plus minutes which just becomes robotic and unrealistic to relate to. it should be noted i am big into subscribing to websites where you can get thousands of scenes opposed to buying traditional dvd. so the way i look at it with hundreds if not thousands of scenes at my disposal why should i have to dedicate half a days worth of free time to only view 2 scenes ?
