Awww. You’re the best, Hrothgar! You don’t praise too much.

My short reply to that is “What’s not to like?”

Although I may be quick to flatter you, as a person I’m not easily impressed and certainly not in the habit of showering praise upon people. But you are that rare person who impresses the hell out of me on a consistent basis. And when you impress I find it hard not to say what I think, even at the risk of sounding like a fan boy. Doth Hrothgar praise too much? Perhaps.

Its your fault Camille. You’re just too many kinds of awesome. You compel me to flatter.

I think I agree with your logic… There should be no accounting for lack of genuine passion. That’s what’s important here.

Awww. Well, shucks. I know I say it a lot, but you flatter me so.

Hmmm…porn that looks like me. Well my girlfriend thinks I’m hot but the general public might beg to differ.

If using average actors creates an experience that is, or appears, more intimate and authentic, I’m all for it.

But if you remove the real element from average people porn, what are you left with? People of middling sexual appeal faking it like hot porn stars. That can only add up to some distinctly below average porn.

Ok you sorta lost me at nutless trannie but I totally support your proclamation of real über alles. I will take average but real over beautiful and fake hands down every time.

Fortunately, we have the very real AND stunningly beautiful Camille Crimson and thus this conundrum vexes us not.

I think you mentioned two pretty stellar and multi-faceted performers. James Deen is going mainstream Hollywood. Maybe Bobbi could follow suit?

But I absolutely agree with you… Believability really means everything for me. It’s hard to be turned-on when you know how the sausage is made, so to speak.

I’m not that fussy about looks unless the glamor (or the experience of the performers) gets in the way of the scene. It’s hard to believe that [insert pornstar here] is just your average girl next door when she’s wearing enough make-up to make a drag queen blush or that he’s a nebbishy nerd when he’s buff and, oh yeah, he last starred in “Jizz Master 75″.

There are exceptions. I’ll buy Bobbi Starr as an innocent (she was a hot Velma!) or James Deen as either a gentleman or a raging asshole, but they’re uncommon in my experience and the scenes tend to do a bit more to establish their characters than a single line of dialog.

“But Professor Dickens… I REALLY need this grade!”

But in the main, I don’t really care about looks or even how much is shown. One of the hottest sex scenes I’ve ever seen was in The Cooler. William H Macy is handsome and Maria Bello is beautiful but they’re hardly supermodels. And yet… oh my god that turned me on more than damn near anything I’d seen up until that point! Maybe since (no offense ).

So long as I can believe that the couple is really into each other (like you and Mike) or that she really has been taken advantage of (I really like Kink’s output) or whatever, I’m game.

Hell, I can buy in to the Avengers and that’s pretty unbelievable… except for those interactions and character moments and emotional connections and…

Hrmmm… I think there might be something to that

I can see what you mean, but I think that porn and fashion will always have the difference of being more personal somehow, so there’s value in the element of variety. Anyone can be garnished.
