If you go to any of the “hub” right now it feels that almost half of the non amateur videos are always with a comedy tone or even parody, is really what the average viewer wants now? I do miss the more serious products of the 90s, with a more normal setting.

Is either that or the “step- family member” thing.

there just isn’t the money in that kind of product anymore. studio porn in general isn’t doing great. especially among younger viewers.

I worked for hustler broadcast for a bit, so i can confidently say that you’re not wrong. we would still occasionally air some of those older more serious movies, but basically anything since 2000 has been more on the goofy side. that said, there are some genuinely funny ones out there. they aren’t very good as porn, but they were my favorites. like there was one where Trump and Kim jong un captured Hilary Clinton in North Korea and they all had sex. the trump and the Kim were terrible, but the Hilary genuinely kind of looked the part, if Hillary Clinton had massive fake boobs. there was an Obama one from 2008 that was incredibly racist. it basically had Obama coming into the White House and revealing that he was actually a big bad gangster rapper, or whatever, here to fuck all your white bitches. I think there were three of those.

honestly, there’s some high concept only fans out there if you’re willing to pay. I know of one couple that does a legit travel blog with travel sex interludes. you might also find enjoyment in erotic literature if you haven’t given that much of a shot. the Internet stuff of very different from the published stuff, maybe give them both a shot?

all of this kind of comes together to really get in the way of high concept studio porn. women with intelligence, self respect, talent, or real ambition don’t go into studio porn. it’s the toxic old way to get into porn. anyone that might have been good enough to actually perform well in those movies either goes for softcore stuff that they can claim isn’t porn, or will self start on onlyfans. honestly, i bet we’ll start to see more of that kind of content come out of the new porn media world. these days we’re seeing more and more collectives and small companies operate through onlyfans. for better and worse. an optimistic take from someone that has worked on the back end of that industry for you is that these companies might be perfect for that. especially the ones that operate more like streamer houses. where it’s just a co-op of creators and maybe a little suuport staff or a manager. that’s the kind of situation i think we’ll start seeing low budget high concept porn with better production than it used to have because it’s easier to be better for cheaper these days.

I ran across something like this where this young couple are “van life’ng” across Europe and the Mediterranean with sexual interludes. I ended up watching a few because they were going to cool “off the beaten path” places and very quickly I started skipping the sex scenes in favour of the travel blog content.

Even the serious stuff is funny if unintentionally so. Might as well lean in?

I mean I definitely miss the high concept porn of the 80’s but that’s been gone for a long time. Last one I saw was Pirates! and even that was mostly played for laughs.

It’s often painful to watch bad actors take the material too seriously, especially when it’s so ridiculous.

There is some serious fetish stuff. I can’t recommend any off the top of my head, but there’s a guy (producer? Always stars him) who makes some like serious psychological/dom/sub/poly movies that I think are well done for porn. Guess I could probably figure it out of there was interest but I think I found it on torrent by blind luck so not sure exactly where to look.

Another exception I can think of are the shows from lustcinema. They have some shows with an overarching plot. And for porn, the acting is surprisingly good.

Could it be “Primal fetish” by any chance? (I’m feeling lucky)

No but I’ll have to look them up.

I think it was Luxure? I think it’s French. I think some of the movies might be dubbed into English while others are filmed in English? Anyway thought it was pretty well done. It’s not winning any Oscars but I was never taken out of any scenes by bad acting. I was able to find at least a scene or two on PH.

I want to say it’s mostly like adventurous couple sexy time, but it could be that’s just what appealed to me. I was looking for things I thought would appeal to my wife and I. She’s not super into porn but she did enjoy watching a couple scenes while I was… well navel gazing in a manner of speaking.

I had a former roommate break into being the exciting world of being an e-girl and a friends sibling is an onlyfans performer.

The serious content, when it is made, is usually requested on more private settings. Like personalized videos for the fabulously wealthy/financially incompetant.

Gotta stop watching it for the plot and just go for the ride
