So we are feverishly wrapping up our sites, and last night I was editing some footage of a crazy g/g scene we shot a while ago. It was a really hot scene with Amber Rayne and Haley Paige, and just as a little aside, I originally casted Amber and asked her who her ideal partner would be (as I do in most of my scenes) and she instantly and vigorously pleaded to work with Haley.
Anyway, the scene involved a drildo, which is an electric drill with a 10inch dildo attachment that spins like a son-of-a-bitch and sends the girls into orbit. Well, my issue is what people's attitude here is toward period blood? I mean, the girl was screaming like she was getting gangbanged by the roman army, and it was all real stuff, but when the drill came out, there was a bit of juice on it. The girl was just totally unphased as she was drunk on orgasms and just screamed to put it back in. Now as I have it that part is cut out, as well as some squirt/piss. I am thinking of offering bts downloads of some of the edited footage, but I really am at a crossroads on the whole thing, as this is really my first instance of this type of thing. The scene still ended up great, and since our shooting style and overall philosophy is to just keep shooting and let the girls do their thing and make for as natural and unedited and real a scene as possible, it still came out great with those few minutes taken out. also, the squirt/piss happened when we stopped the scene for a minute to let the girl warm up with a smaller toy but we kept the cam rolling. That is another part i am considering for bts.
So what is your take on the whole period thing?
ps, both Amber and Haley Paige were awesome to work with and just went off on each other!
I would probably include it in BTS, if people want to watch it they can, if not they don't have to. Assuming it all fits on the disc then you might as well although personally period blood grosses me out a bit ass does piss & shit.
Yeah joel, i am with you on that, and that is the way i am leaning. But is it even too much for bts? I mean, i have never even seen that on anyone's bts stuff before, granted, I am sure there are plenty of people here who have libraries of porn much bigger than mine.
HAHA, we cut a 20 minute scene, which is probably on the short end for us as our scenes are generally running 25-35 minutes of sex beginning to end, but i probably have an additional 20 of great(or gross!) bts stuff. It really makes for great scenes when the girls are into it. At the end we had to tell Amber "it's ok, we have plenty of footage" because after the finale with the double ender, she was just gonna keep going with another position.
I just don't want anyone thinking we ripped the walls out of a girls vag.
I wanna see ALL this stuff, gross or no gross! Please include it, as ity adds more reality into what's really goes on behind the scenes. After all, isn't that the whole idea of BEHIND the scenes...????
brother, anyone who's had a long term relationship with a woman has seen period juice. Don't stress. I have left plenty-a-dick with menses mensauce on it, so don't stress. It's real. Regarding the female ejaculate, remember there are entire series devoted to that. Squirting is not odd enough in porn to edit out anymore.
My vote is to leave it in. *Especially* since the performer screamed "put it back in." Dat's hot.
I can't recall seeing period blood (at least up close and focussed on) in a video, but I have seen shitbits and colon juice not just shown up close but eaten in ATM scenes. Word from experience: blood mixed with pussy cream tastes better than colon juice.
I'm generally against censorship. But I think self-censorship can sometimes be a good thing. Ideally, you could leave the scene in or put it in the BTS. Unfortunately, I think doing either of those is a no win. If you leave it in, you'll be criticized as being another Max Hardcore sort. If you put it in the BTS, you'll be criticized as being another Max Hardcore sort and trying to hide it in the BTS. And, sadly, now that you've spilled the beans about it here (and possibly elsewhere), if you cut it out entirely, you'll be criticized for trying to hide it by not putting it in the movie at all. So, really, it's a three-pronged no win. I guess it's minor enough but you'd be surprised how worked up people can get over some really minor shit.

Leave it out, please. Menstrual cycles should remain private affairs.
... and RandomPrecision, please change your avatar.
Murky waters. Theres few things I can think of, that could ignite the moralists more, and potentially hand them the outraged sympathies of the moderate mainstream, than the use of real blood, targeting any form of sexual gratification for the viewer. While it sounds innocuous enough, if theres any way the dialog, or intensity could allow it to be construed as pandering to the whims of sexual violence, and/or the psychopathic, it wouldn't even justify debate imo.
I think it should be BTS and you should ignore the naysayers. If the consent and passion is clear - which is sounds like it was - then no one will think the blood is violence. I hope viewers are smart enough to know period blood when they see it. I know it's not for everyone, but some people dig it (and rarely if ever see it) and other people won't care. People who say it's gross make me think there is some woman-hating and pussy-hating, however conscious or unconscious, going on. And Mr. Tuna Can, you would not support that shit, right?

period-blood is gross when its done on purpose as a fetish video. but when theres a little bit of monthly flow ACCIDENTALLY on camera, then its friggin awesome. I agree with the guy who says show it all, cause when its not what you expected, thats when its a turn-on
I would snip out the period blood. If you want to leave it in, I would put it in a seperate, well labeled BTS section.
I say this because period blood personally grosses me out. As such I would not want to see it in the scene, and I like to watch BTS, so I would not want to see it there either. I would not mind it if it were in a seperate section that I knew not to watch though.
In Courtney Simpson's A Good Source of Iron scene with Brandon Iron, he pulls his cock out slowly while he is fucking her and pretty clearly he is covered with end of the period period blood. I like Courtney and I really like to see some fucking with my cum swallowing fiestas, but now I can't watch that scene.
Maybe it is not fair of me, but I don't like seeing menses. I don't have vaginal sex with my wife during her period for the same reason. Maybe that makes me a sexist pig of some sort, but porn is all about fantasy and menses is a fantasy killer for me and I would bet a bunch of other people.
I'm not grossed out by blood at all, buts ome people can't stand the sight of any kind of blood without fainting, so maybe it would be most gentle to put it in a seperate, well labeled BTS section. Or as an easter egg! I like easter eggs, I wish there where more of them.
I vote for inclusion in the BTS. Sounds like things were very hot when it occurred.
I've seen it included in BTS before, but the director also talked about her period while she was prepping. I was all for it (realism and all that) until he had her lick his dick clean. I about tossed my cookies. That's my boundary.
The naysayers say nay because they've seen this sort of thing get out of hand before.
I'll try and refrain from making really harsh judgements here but you apparently don't know the anti porn lobby very well. They don't give a damn. They will twist it any way they have to if there's the slightest possible chance.
It's not just typical viewers you have to worry about. You also have to think about people who literally hate porn, hate the people who make it and the people who view it. If you've never seen them in action, you might be surprised how aggressive they can be. The whole point of the discussion is not to hand them any excuses on a silver platter. They'll look for shit anyway and will probably eventually get something but at least make them work for it.

Behind the scenes - labeled.
The anti-porn people think all porn is bad. As far as violence - girls are getting stepped on, fish hooked, choked, punched - and you guys are worried about menstrual blood?
The real problem is not actual content it is the marketing. For example google ads get pulled if the page they link to mentions teen and porn together. Pornographers are baiting the feds with language and pretenses far more than they are with content.
I'd leave it out. If I saw that it would stop me in my tracks, which is exactly not what I want in a porno. It wouldn't be so bad if I already knew your explanation, but it would still be distracting. If I didn't know what happened, I'd wonder if the girl had been hurt.
If you added it as a separate "extra" scene with a little lead-in that says what to expect, that would work for me. I could either choose to see it or skip it, but either way I'd be prepared for it.
I don't think you are unusual in that, and perhaps if my wife were like that I would get over it. However this just seems like a fetish thing to me, and a fetish with a high probability of turning people off.
I mean, foot fetish stuff slipped into my porn merely slightly annoys me because I view it as wasted time. Menses is an active wood killer. There is a world of difference.
I empathize with the fact that you might actively like to see period sex because it corresponds to a time that you are particularly sexual. I just think this corresponds with many other niche desires like the guy who only likes to see white women with black men because that is what turns him on. Or how Brandon Iron seems to think that people who like cum guzzling probably like feet as well.
With all of the potential interests people can have in porn the producers have to find a balance between how much it turns on one segment of the population and how much it turns off other segments. This just seems like an interest with a small group of people it turns on and a large group of people it turns off. As opposed to say feet nonsense where it has a moderate number of people it turns on a lot and a large number of people who may not even notice it is going on and very few it really turns off as long as not much time is spent on it.
I enjoy shooting the kind of sex that I like to see. I'm a big fan of massive facials, swallowing, and (yes) nice feet. You have different interests. That's cool. Just seek out the stuff you enjoy.
As an aside, the foot stuff I shot (the Ten Little Piggies series) didn't do nearly as well as some other stuff but it was some of my favorite stuff. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
I saw an Abbraxa video a while back, including her and another girl, can't think of name, but they were fisting each other while menstruating. Wasn't exactly my thang, but had it been, I woulda been greatly pleased.
I sometimes get annoyed with "bonus footage, BTS," and "website only footage" because a lot of the times the cut footage woulda been so great if left in. (An extreme example: It's like watching a US version of a Max Hardcore movie, than seeing the unedited Euro version, people are missing half the movie.) I prefer directors and editors not to cut stuff out and then offer it as a "bonus." Including it as BTS or even website only footage, kinda ruins scenes for me.

When dirty anals and gapes are all the rage, it hardly seems to me to be all that gross. If the girl was in such an orgasmic state as you described, it sounds pretty hot.
I recognize that this more of a business decision than anything else. So I guess I would vote for a good BTS.
I am not really trying to pick on you. To the contrary, you have become one of my favorite directors. I was just using you as an easy example of someone who has a particular kink and thus wants to see it in movies that don't focus on that kink.
I was referring to times in AGSOI where you ask the girls if you think that guys that have cum drinking fetishes are more likely to have fetishes like feet. And of course there are times where you focus on the feet during the pretty girl section or suck on them or something during the sex.
Now, it does not really bother me that you do this. It is just that it was an easy example that came to mind. I am not into the foot thing, and as such I have avoided the Ten Little Piggies line, but you haven't really pushed it too far in the other lines so it hasn't bothered me. Feet were my example of a fetish that is sometimes incorporated into non-feet fetish scenes that I see as a non-distracting fetish. Just like some people have a total fetish for interracial and I don't really care what race the guy fucking the girl is.
My point is just that there are some fetishes that you can easily incorporate into scenes without turning off a large number of people and some fetishes that are harder to incorporate without turning a lot of people off.
I say leave it in...if you must put it in the BTS, include enough of the scene for the *very* interested viewer to get back into the rhythm of it. Including a caption explaining the background wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
Hi this is Haley Paige, just using Chico's moniker. B-I-G M-i-k-e, is this the same big mike from San Diego who worked at the radio station?
who's phone # was "big mike" (sd area code-- numbers spelled out your name on the touch tone keypad?)
If it is, hello, remember me? I used to frequent the coffee shop owned by that crazy guy who was some kind of historian and had every word he ever read or heard stored up in his vast and expansive memory?
Steph, can you email haley at haleypaigexxx@yahoo.com. It just sounds funny that she has to use my profile to post. She rarely does but I have no clue about it. Thanks.
