I hope this is not stupid question, but i need subtitles for porn movies. I now, you will say porn is porn, what subtitles are you talking about? Well I need subtitles especially for Salieri or Dorcel films, because most of these movies are in french, deutsch or italian, but not in english. Do you have any idea or is this to stupid question.

Subtitles are, at the very least, unusual in porn.
In the old days, porn was shot silent and a soundtrack produced afterwards, including dubbed foreign language versions. For instance, some of the old alpha blue releases also come in English dubbed versions, and their DVD releases sometimes give a choice of language.

This has become rarer nowadays, partly because the lack of original sound undermines the immediacy and reality of the experience, and partly because people don't want to bother anymore with post-production when it comes to porn.

Subtitles always felt a little too posh for porn, and in the video days customers would not have wanted letters on a screen to cover any part of the action. With DVD this is no longer an excuse, but I would not expect a change in policy in a hurry.
