Recent Ben Dover Efforts

[Officer Dibble]

"The last few Ben Dover features have become increasingly unsavoury, unpleasant / unerotic affairs."

Just the last few?

"In fact the industry is drowning in a pool of its own making and the tide is rising fast".

Never thought I'd hear you coming over to the predictions of disaster that I've been making for years!

To the general public, porn is now a naff anachnonism. If our market had expanded at the same rate as the explosion of broadband, we'd all be millionaires.

Those now turning to "Extreme" stuff are merely squirming in the death-throes of their product, desperate to try anything, to make sales. All they are doing is burying themselves deeper.

Hey Jim I know what I see with my own eyes.

Thats not to say I'm miserable about my lot. Far from it in fact. I'm happier than I have ever been but I do recognise what is going on.

Even with the rose coloured specs on. As for the millionaire bit...I'm working on that and I still got a long way to go.

Its like the Wild West at the moment for this industry and new varmints are coming in all the time... Why do you think I'm trying to help out with www.pornschoolblog.com I'm not making any money out of it but there needs to be an information resource as many people coming into this just have no idea from performers to new producers who still think there is gold in them thar hills.

Personally I think the general public are still fascinated by porn. If not in reality then most definitely in their minds. You are speaking from an insiders perspective Jim and you know its far from glamorous.

I agree Ben Dover has lost his way,he seems to eager to shock and the girls he uses don't seem to have that natural air about them that they did in his early days. Still whatever happens its fair to say the films he made in the early 90s were proper classics and should be up there amongt the best brit porn ever made.

Ben Dover paved the way for most of us & every producers has their ups & downs but it don't take away the great work that made them famous in the first place. Some producers look to see whats popular & clone others work but some stick with there own ideas & take chances, its so easy to follow the pack but where would British porn be if we all did that.
We make various amateur films of all different subjects but if that one day got unfashionable we would not to change the style that first got us known either, Ben's fame is every producers envy & its what we are all trying to work to so if he is taking a break then good on him as he has earned it.

I worked with Ben last week with the lovely Shay Hendrix and Siren Lee, and there was nothing unsavoury or demeaning about the shoot..he is a true gentleman with the girls and will still give any performer in the industry a run for their money..we all had a good laugh and it was a wicked shoot..

Unfortunately I think you're wrong, I think people on the outside are far ahead of us. They are indulging in drug fuelled, perversions of their own, far in excess of alot of the drab b/g/ crap scenes that are still being produced.

As for the glamour, I'm there mate, I can now afford as many pork pies as I need and get my wardrobe at Tesco Home'n'Wear!

If you look at it that way then maybe the usual porn audience has found other ways to entertain themselves but I'm sure porn still makes for visual aids along with drugs and swimming through a sea of girly mags.

I think Mr Dover's stuff went down hill when he stopped working with Marino. The natural giggle factor went / seemed more forced.

With regards to the extreme stuff I am old fashioned.

I'll never understand why someone needs to see a model piss to get turned on when it can be done just by seeing her play with her pussy.

I'll never understand why some need to see a model slapped, chocked, spit and gag etc to get turned on when it can be done just by seeing her give a BJ.

I know the stuff sells and that is all that matters to producers but I think its more to do with the quality of model not what she does.

If the choice was X doing 'normal' b/g or nothing most would be more than happy just to see her do 'normal' b/g.

When a decent looking model finally decides to get her kit off sales go mad.

When same decent looking model finally decides to get her kit off and does b/g sales go even madder.

If same decent looking model then finally decides to get her kit off do b/g with the slapped, chocked, spit and gag etc and have a piss etc I suspect sales hardly increase, unless it's their first appearance on a 'specialist' product.

I disagree with the opinion "we needed to change because it was getting tired, boring etc" I think it was more down to seeing what was going on in other areas and wanting a slice of that cake as well.
