I don’t mind fake boobs as long as they don’t look ridiculously fake

I guess we all have a different point of view about fantasy but we most all agree that mainstream porn is mostly disgusting.

I’m often left perplexed because an industry should innovate and grow by listening to their costumer. Do you think the costumers of the porn industry are asking for what they get? Or are we voiceless?

I can share 2 stories. I don’t intent to generalise but here’s what happened:

1st story is about Dolorem. I was participating in a french forum and the boss ask me if I’d like to have a website that he’d promote. You know, a basic solo girl site. He liked the photos on Dolorem and wanted the same quality for our mutual site but! He didn’t want any post-production made on the pictures and I had to look like all the other solo girls on the internet. Why approach me in the first place if he wanted something identical to the rest of the world? He “felled” in love with my photos and then wants to sell what everybody is selling arguing that this is what costumers want.

2nd story is about The Art of Blow Job. I had a business opportunity to sell exclusive videos and photo sets to a US based webmaster or company -don’t really recall. Same shit happened. The person loved what I did with TAoBJ but again, no post-prod and more like everybody’s doing it he insisted. I showed this person a sample but he reply it was not what costumers wanted.

I simply don’t get it. I guess I’m not breed to be a business person. I love people and I love listening to what they tell me. I love to please them. Maybe I should simply be the artist I denied to be and let someone else do the business. OK this is degenerating and getting overly personal.

I try not to think about those things (not the story, I had forgotten them until I asked the question about the industry listening or not to their costumers) but it’s stronger then me when I watch porn.

So are we getting what we want?

I was reading Woman Watching Porn on http://x-ratednews.com and when I stumbled on this paragraph I got relieved. Relieved that I am not the only one who just think that porn is ridiculous. And relieved that I’m actually doing something to cure this ridiculousness.

For me, the real problem with most porn is its hokeyness — the ridiculous costumes, the awful cinematography, the ludicrous story lines, the terrible acting (not to mention how scary the close-ups sometimes look, how fake the boobs are, how some starlets really sound like injured animals…).

Well, I may not be a genius actress but I don’t wear horrible costumes, I think Mike is doing a great job with cinematography and our story lines are implicit.

Despite all I have said about porn, I still, sometimes, get aroused watching some of it. But I would feel so much more comfortable admitting -to myself- I enjoy it if the movies were thoughtful, imaginative and well directed.

Note: I’m not sure but I think the article was written by Violet Blue. There’s a source link at the bottom of the article that directs to a CNN article clearly signed by Miss VB: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/personal/07/24/o.women.watching.porn/
