Re: The problem with UK porn

Forget about 'performances' Terry. Good porn is simply the visual representation of people having sex. Real sex, just like they normally would. Nothing more. If you start talking about ?performances? you are talking about something else, something synthetic, artificial, bogus ? the kiss of death to eroticism. It?s like adding an alkaline to an acid ? it neutralises it. You must remember that our sexual triggers and ques are hardwired into us. Start veering into areas where nature didn?t intend (I mean of course ? bukkake, cream pie, quadrupal anal, ATM, gagging, spitting and all that other nonsense) and you find that what you are doing is totally irrelevant and superfluous, as far as sex and sexuality are concerned - i.e. it?s not stimulating or sexually exciting, and consequently people will lose faith 'n' interest in it. Shit, they might even start posting negative comments on forums like this about how crap porn is nowadays, and Brit porn in particular. Imagine that.
So forget about performances, performances in relation to porn are esoteric things that are only of any relevance (if relevance they have) to porno trainspotters like us. People on Civi St never, ever, talk about performances in relation to a shag movie. They take it as read that the protagonists are not giving ?a performance? they are simply having a shag, which is all well and good. There is no need for a performance in this instance. If you interfere or, as it were ?screw around? with the act of shagging you risk jettisoning it?s primeval potency.
I would agree that almost every Brit performer nowadays needs to brush up their ?straight? acting performances. Like you say Tel, if you?re going to make a proper film (with fucking) you need quality people who can act a bit. I?m always awed looking back at some of the 80?s and early 90?s American features at how well the performers are acting. I sometimes think I?ve picked up a straight film by mistake! Those films can also teach us a thing or to about the visual representation of sex. They had it sussed back then. Most of the fuck and suck sessions were based on real life scenarios about shagging the lady next door, the sexy nurse down at the doctors, the policewoman, the hitchhiker. And although the actors were playing a part, the sex was real. Real sex, like real people have, in the real world. Not the idiotic ?nasty sex? (to use a crap American term) that has been INVENTED by the Evil Angel mob and badly copied by small-time Brit producers. The problem with ?nasty sex? is simply that it isn?t sex.
Porno has become routine and banal. Sex has become routine and banal. There?s far too much of it about now and it?s mostly low calibre stuff. There is no way you can make a good porn film with a skinny, chavy, chaver who takes a triple anal with the nonchalance of one who is checking for spots in her car?s rear view mirror, and that seems to be where we?re at, at the moment. As for ?being grateful for seein? ?em naked? - Ha! I?d give ?em a fiver just for ?em to keep their togs on!
Cheers,
