Again requesting to get a better way to identify male talent

phiber

Hi! There have been several threads about this topics over the years, but I want to bring it up again because the new website has made getting this information almost impossible again.

Can you add something like a toggle to show the male performers of a scene? It's especially weird for scenes like https://www.sexlikereal.com/studios/slr-for-women-672 where the male performer is clearly the main focus, but even in general this information would be helpful. The old site had every performer displayed at the end, the new site had for a while at least those with profile images (e.g. Will Pounder, Ryan Driller), but now it's back to none. It's still possible to check your assumptions via looking at performer pages like https://www.sexlikereal.com/pornstars/john-strong-6412, but that doesn't help you for new performers (e.g. the new SLR Originals PT performer in John Strong directed scenes). They also do not appear in searches.

I understand that probably the majority of your customers don't care about this information (and maybe don't even want to have it at all to keep up the fantasy of you being the performer), but I don't really see the issue with having an option to display them that is disabled by default.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just wanted to make another point: SLR's new focus on 2D content also really necessitates this. Male performers are way more visible here and can make or break a scene for the viewer, so hiding them really hurts the product.

phiber Thank you for the feedback, I have forwarded it to the team

I don't understand, didn't SLR roll out support to list male performers in the cast?

Why don't videos list them any longer?

Are people afraid of seeing a portrait of a guy but perfectly happy looking at his dick in VR? 🙄

phiber Male performers are shown in search
![

jommy

AlexSLR But people don't know who they are to search for in the first place

Just stick the credits back on each video, who complained about it?

It would be really nice to have this even if you just put their names up without a profile picture(assuming that's bothered people)

doublevr

there's a tag for each male performer on video page and search.

jommy

doublevr There's no tags for male names, I checked the most recent 5 SLR originals

And besides a tag is not a good idea, how are people supposed to easily find names when a video has 20+ tags?

Just bring back the normal credits for males..

People will look at a dick in 8K resolution up close but are afraid of a small profile photo? what?

phiber

doublevr As @jommy already said, there are no tags for male performers, only for directors. So while there e.g. exists the tag https://www.sexlikereal.com/tags/john-strong-vr, this lists scenes he directed. While he sometimes does double duty, this is actually pretty rare nowadays.

While I still think that there should be display male performers (why not just add a "gender" property to performers and allow hiding male ones), them appearing in search again is at least a good first step, so thanks for that!

EDIT: Also, the search doesn't work for all male performers: For example, when using search, we only see one 2D scene for Damon Dice (https://www.sexlikereal.com/search?q=damon+dice&tab=1), while https://www.sexlikereal.com/pornstars/damon-dice-5625 shows that he has performed in several VR scenes. And even for performers whose performer profile shows up in the search preview (i.e. when typing into the search bar and before confirming) like Nick Strokes, when actually showing the full list of results https://www.sexlikereal.com/search?q=nick+strokes&tab=1&f=all, while this shows some scenes, he doesn't appear when selecting the "Pornstars" tab (i.e. https://www.sexlikereal.com/search?q=nick+strokes&tab=3)

phiber (why not just add a "gender" property to performers and allow hiding male ones)

I don't understand why

Sure, hide gay/trans porn from the main page as people don't generally want to see naked sexual orientation they are not attracted to

But a profile photo is.. normal and expected

Crediting someone for their work was supposed to become standard on SLR, i'm pretty sure I recall them proudly announcing it not too long ago but something changed, did someone have a loud opinion and demanded changes?

phiber

jommy To be fair, for VR specifically the default is still to not credit male performers because the fantasy is that you are the POV performer. Of course this argument completely breaks down as soon as male non-POV performers also aren't credited (2D scenes on SLR, any gangbang scenes, female-POV scenes, etc.) and even in cases where it could be applied, it's kind of silly in my own opinion.

jommy

phiber VR video fantasy has nothing to do with crediting performers in the video description

That's like saying end credits of a movie shouldn't exist because then it means the movie is not real

There are some male performers that cum a few times and keep going, and I'd like to know who they are to check out their other scenes.

Please can SLR implement this? It would be nice to have an easier way to identify male talents that put on particularly good performances.

Some performers are just better than others whether it's hardness, size, rhythm, ability to stay quiet, handsyness, ability to last longer without needing to pause a lot, etc. and it would be really great to be able to identify them better so we can filter our searches better.
