I've been lurking here for a few months, getting the feel of these forums and acting upon the recommendations of some regarding rentals, but I haven't yet found exactly what I'm looking for.

My wife and I have recently begun to enjoy the experience of watching porn videos together as part of setting the mood, and after sampling everything from gonzo to Andrew Blake, we have a very good idea of exactly what we're looking for. Unfortunately, we can't seem to find it.

Our favorite director is Michael Ninn, because he features stunningly beautiful women, elegant sets and costuming, an attention to visual "foreplay", yet his scenes always conclude with some fairly hot sex.

We really like the fact that over the past decade or so, production values for the major studios have gone way up; and that both female and male actors are so well-groomed all over. My wife, especially, loves the smooth-shaven look of an attractive couple going at it. It seems to us there's a huge difference in what porn generally "looks like" since about 1999 or so. Before that, the actors generally look at bit too hairy and blemished for our "utopian" porn taste.

We're not porn-prudes, I don't think. We have no problem with almost any position or almost any orifice being penetrated -- we both have a bit of a butt fetish, to be honest, and portrayals of anal sex can be a real turn-on.

But there's a trade-off: I have to confess that today's general style of performing is a bit much for us: the excessive spitting, stretching of sphincters with four or five fingers, or painful looking anal pile-drivers -- these types of things tend to turn my wife off. Especially with regard to the spitting issue; my wife has no problem with watching Inari Vachs going down on a stud with her trademark sloppy wet BJ, but if anyone actually hocks up a loogie and spits it from a distance into the fray, I know I have to move on to the next scene quick or the mood will be lost.

In short, we like today's production values but the more relatively tame performance styles circa 1995.

Does anyone know of any features that might straddle the two: maybe a more recently produced feature with straight but hot sex? I've been looking, but can't find exactly what we want. Ninn is always acceptable, but to be honest even his videos have a lot more in the way of spitting and stressed-out buttholes than we're looking for, and besides, it'd be nice to watch another director's idea of how to mix style and substance in an adult video production.

BTW: I am aware of the threads at the top of the features page which link to "couples" videos, etc. I appreciate those efforts to make members aware of these genres, but I'm wondering whether there's a specific feature or director our there that hasn't been mentioned who does what we want:

Mid 90's porn with today's production values -- and no spitting!

;)

Any assistance would be appreciated . . .

I like Ninn but find his work a little slow paced at times. I haven't watched one of his films since Becoming Georgia Adair III and Lost Angels: Nikita Denise.

Marc Dorcel may be what you're looking for. Hot sex, higher production values and beautiful people (may not be as hairless as you two prefer)

Some Private films may be too hard but you may want to try some of their features (Millionaire 1 & 2 are new)

Directors that I'm excited about but haven't seen their product yet are Tony Comstock, John Stagliano (Fashionistas), Viv Thomas (lesbian) and Big Jim (lesbian).

Companies whose features I want to see are Blu, Erotic Media and Sin City (not the 1001 compilations they have out). Vivid, Wicked and Metro may have some good movies but I'm a bit freaked out by some of the reviews I've read. They may be too soft for what I enjoy.

adultdvdempire has Editor's Picks and Empire Recommendations lists available in the couple's section with plenty of reviews. This site will have a fair number of reviews as well.

Mamma - I've recommended it before and no doubt will again . There are various versions available , including possibly one by TipTop (US studio) which might feature subtitles or dubbing . As I mention in the review this is just about the pinacle of my porn viewing experience so far . Stunning outfits , and believable sex . A winning combination .

Actually most of Silvio Bandinelli's movies that I've seen would fit your bill , as they all feature the most beautiful porn performers of their day , perfectly dressed , and fucking passionately but not abusively .

If your wife has a fancy for men's botties then she would probably appreciate the oft drooled over cheeks of Hakan Serbs , who is shown best in Rudolph Valentino . Directed by Joe D'Amato this is a high production value (for porn) feature but it doesn't have quite the same sexual bite as Mr Bandinelli's work . In my opinion of course .

From US porn Michael Raven (Mr Julia Ann) is very good at this kind of thing . You might want to try Beautiful a widescreen and lushly produced period feature from Wicked . Julia wears some damned sexy outfits , and Ms Devinn Lane steams up the screen with her bedroom antics . Cracking stuff .

Is Big Jim the same as Jim Gunn(Gum) ? Viv Thomas is high on the production values and he's one of my favourites but I've yet to meet a (hetro) woman who enjoyed watching lipstick lesbians . ThoughT i'd just mention that in case Pirate tries to get his wife to watch one of Viv's DVDs . And The Fashionistas is very hard core and messy , not sure it fits in with the theme of this thread . It's well done , but about as spitty/throat-fuckie/chokey as it gets in features . It's not to all tastes - it wasn't to mine anyway .
As far as I know Erotic Media publish previously released European movies for the American market , though something tels me Bill will know more . Steve Morelli is one of the mainstays of their output , and he certainly produces straightforward but well made featuere porn . Intriguingly another director on their roster is called D'Salvo who has a director of photography called 'Adamo' . After asking around on this board someone informed me that D'Salvo is in fact the Italian pseudonym under which Antonio Adamo has been working since leaving Private (he produced the Gladiator and Cleopatra series) .

Big Jim is the director of Nadia's sweet revenge and a lot of TVX shows. His company is Juicy Peach Productions. He has been shooting b/g too lately.

Thanks for all the responses to date; I'm definitely going to read the reviews of the features mentioned. And thanks to ADT for this site; definitely a great resource.

My wife does, as a change of pace from the piston-driving sort. She (and I), however, do prefer fingers and tongues to too much cylindrical machinery. I confess, I have a thing for women using speculums on other women, something Ninn has portrayed occasionally. There, my wife and I differ. Reminds her too much of a gynecology visit, which she never finds particularly erotic. I suppose I can understand, but that first scene with Vicca in Ninn's "Fetish" drives me crazy.

I'd check out some movies from Wicked and Adam & Eve.
They have both feature and gonzo releases, but you shouldn't find anything too extreme in any of their titles. Many (most) ADT'ers will find them rather tame I think.
Personally I'm partial to A&E's Sex Across America titles and Wicked's Road Trixxx. YMMV.

Check out some reviews

There's a "new" studio called Nectar (www.nectar.tv) which has a director called Marty Zion , whose style looks (from their online trailers) reminiscent of Michael Ninn. I cannot express myself on the quality of his productions since I haven't sampled them, but there are a handful of reviews available on ADT. Also, check Red Ezra 's early work for Digital Sin . His Chloe Jones vignettes were glossy and hot, and he always hired good-looking performers.

Director Red Ezra is a good choice for you. You also might want to check out director Nic Andrews work. If you are looking for features, director Tony Comstock's work isn't what you are looking for, however, his film is worth checking out anyway. Video Marc Dorcel is also a good choice for you as is director Michael Raven. The Fashionistas is not what you are looking for. It is a great feature film but it has most of what you are not looking for in it.

Thank you, Flash; I'm familiar with Andrews' work. Since reading your post, I've read some of the reviews for Ezra; we definitely need to check out some of his work for Wicked.

vodka tonic: Funny that you would mention Marty Zion. We've actually watched three Nectar releases directed by him. The first, Shades of Red, had the production values we're looking for, but just as we were getting into the film there's an absolutely titanic female orgasm by the squirt-queen whose name I can't quite spell: Cytheria (sp?). Anyway, that scene is replayed in slow motion and different angles . . . I can comprehend the appeal of that, but it's just not our thing.

Then we rented "Into Dreams", which wasn't filmed with quite the detail of "Shades of Red", but was still well done. I just didn't quite care for some of the talent in that movie. The first scene features a stunning British blonde with a big hulking tattooed guy who reminded us a bit too much of Hans and Franz.

But we liked Nectar/Zion enough to try again, and just last weekend we rented "Mystified", which has a bit of a hokey theme of all the scenes being filmed in a fake-looking "forest", but which comes very close to fitting the bill of what we're looking for. The sex is hot but there's no gobs of spit flying around (very wet blowjob at one point, though). The only moment in the film that is kinda scary for us is Taylor Rain's gape at the end of her scene. To be fair, the rest of that scene is really awesome; that girl is very skinny, but she's so limber and she has great facial expressions -- I'm guessing she's more of a gonzo girl, but in this scene I tip my hat to her. And to be fair, the pop shot on her gape is beautifully filmed; it's just that as much as I love a beautiful female's butt and anus as part of visual eroticism, I really don't need to see beyond the sphincter, ifyouknowwhatImean.

(The hulking tattooed guy is in "Mystified" as well, but his scene is later in the film; usually by then my wife and I are otherwise occupied.)

Thanks again for all the responsive comments in this thread. My wife and I look forward to acting upon some of your recommendations.

thanks, I don't think it will be my taste either. I was under the impression that it was different than that. I assumed it would be more erotic than hardcore since it is highly regarded and there's a Vegas show based on it.

I'd like to see today's porn with yesteryear's production values.

You mean getting pap smears isn't erotic ?! I learn something new on this forum every day .
That was what I'd thought too , but trust me it ain't . Unless of course Rocco grabing some girl's head and using it as a make-shift vagina to fuck at full throttle strikes you as erotic (it's more of an endurance test for the girls than in any way sexy) . The outfits on the other hand are smokin' !
