  • 7 min watchtime of 1h long videos - Something must be wrong about it

It’s interesting that, when I politely commented on a couple of scenes that 2 hours plus was too long for a porn scene, I got downvoted and criticised to death and yet now people are admitting they just skip to the bits they want to see.

I personally would like to be able to have the immersive experience of watching a scene from start to finish as it’s intended to be watched but I’m never going to sit through two hours. It’s just a waste of time and money to make stuff that long as practically no one will ever sit through it.

I’d much rather they used their time getting the camera positions correct and optimal for each sexual position rather than just shooting for hours in a couple of fixed camera positions. At the moment they don’t really seem to care about optimal camera position, they have so much to shoot in a short length of time that they just need to get as much as they can out of each camera position to limit how many times they have to move the camera and reset everything.

I’m not saying I want 7 or 8 minute scenes but they shouldn’t be over an hour imo. You should be able to set the scene in about 10 minutes or so (if it’s just fucking your girlfriend, then even less) and then 30-40 min sex is more than enough to cover blowjob/cowgirl/missionary/doggy if those are the positions you want to include.

    petermc ten people commenting doesn’t equate to general preference. I may spend 3, 7, or 45 minutes in a two hour Nash masterpiece … all depending on how much I’ve got in me and if I had started on that scene or it took four other scenes to get me there. I’m still one who’s very happy to have a large amount of content to choose from in that scene. And yes one day I might get off on an exquisite tease opener, and another day I might skip straight to the Mish section. Choose your own adventure is a beautiful thing, and I’m one to change things up often, and I like to combine scenes to create larger fantasies and themes depending on where my fantasy mind is that day (or hour of that day if it’s a third session). Fact that there’s two hours of footage to choose from is a real value add to me personally.

    I still downvote your sentiment - ten times over if I could. Not you personally, but I strongly disagree with leaving perfectly good porn content on the editing room floor, or not filming it in the first place.

    @alexnash please keep doing what you do sir.

        …All that said, there’s nothing wrong with adding to variety. I’m sure putting together the occasional two hour film with the same performer(s) that was made up of five separate 25 minute scenes with beginning, middle, and ends story-wise, and different outfits, storylines, and positions focused on could me an interesting change of pace and give others what they ask for: manageable full experiences. More preparation and more work to be sure, but it would definitely be different. Actually this is precisely what JAV often does, but few on these forums seem willing to pay attention to the brilliance of JAV directors, and there’s of course that other aspect to JAV that we dare not mention 😏

          argyle43 the original post however does point to a general preference.

          It is not a straight line from average time spent in a scene = people want shorter scenes, of course. An average figure will probably take into account a ton of people who click on the video, decide they’re not into girl after a couple of minutes and click out again i.e people who don’t actually watch the video. The nature of porn also means some people will watch for a few minutes, jerk off and then, once they’ve finished, they obviously don’t continue watching! I doubt you’ll find too many people though who regularly sit down to watch a 2 hour plus scene. You used to get whole porn features (probably still do) with a story and 5 or 6 scenes in that last 2 hours in total.

          I just think if you spend less time shooting footage, you have more time to perfect and vary the footage you are shooting (quality over quantity) and more people will be able to enjoy the whole experience rather than getting bored and skipping to the next bit.

          Just my opinion though, yours is equally valid.

            damian In my case it also depends on the girl. If she's a really good actor, I enjoy long intros, if she has nice labia leaned back cowgirl girl gets much more interesting, doggy needs a nice ass and/or back, etc.

            Also the cue points at the moment are not good enough in all cases. Sometimes the positions don't match the tags or the timestamp is slightly wrong.

              Vrsumo2017 Has there ever been a scene where the model is actually there to please the viewer the guy with the vr headset on.

              I'll just reply to my self

              No not that i ever seen and i watch a lot of vrp... BUT! vrhush just filmed a slim thick scene and she acknowledged the viewer with the headset on and said let's get threw this scene together!

              My reply

              Cool! Thanks
              I just saw the trailer and it looks great, love the cool music with her showing off her body having a good time, and then she acknowledged me the viewer. I like that! we need more scene like that! A studio dedicated to the viwer with the headset on acknowledgement, let the models speak to us naturally instead of them having to come with some lines for the role they are playing. A Studio can be called YouVR.

              It's you your headset and the hot models. 👍

              "Acknowledge Me" 😏 ...the guy with the vr headset on.

                  Will65 Welcome to our nightmare

                  "Nightmare" is a little dramatic. 😉

                  I've been a member of this website for years, before SLR Originals were being made, and not sure how long before that.

                  SLR is still my favorite website and I'm pretty sure it will be for years to come.

                  The team does a great job!

                  But still--@doublever must be working too hard, because some of his posts seem like he resents the way subscribers use the website or something. That's strange.

                    Vrsumo2017
                    didn't wankz or milfz do something like that? was a very long time ago, before povr. I'm sure I remember seeing something along those lines.
                    Could well have dreamt it though, vr porn before bed does give me wild porny dreams sometimes.

                      Vrsumo2017 I’m not totally sure that I get what you mean as I haven’t seen that scene yet. In VR POV scenes we are supposed to be the guy in the room so she is always talking to us. Are you talking about her acknowledging that we’re not really there and talking to us as a porn viewer sat at home? Not sure I’d be too much into that.

                      It can work in voyeur scenes when the girl looks into the camera instead of at the guy she’s fucking and talks directly to us at home. In POV scenes though, it kind of breaks the illusion of us actually being the guy she’s fucking.

                          argyle43 I didn’t see this post when I made mine. I think it would be awesome to have a two hour movie like the old Jenna Jameson style porn with a story and multiple scenes. Not sure how doable that would be in VR but they kind of do this in Dezyred with their interactive movies.

                            petermc Are you talking about her acknowledging that we’re not really there and talking to us as a porn viewer sat at home?

                            Yes, cuz she's talking to the me the vr viewer not me the plumber or massage therapist, or what ever role the model guy is there suppose to be, those are fine I love it all, never change that...that will always be there.

                            But a studio dedicated to that idea, its you in vr the model acknowledges the fact your in vr and both of you are there for sum virtual pornstar experience.

                            If I were to do a vr productions like that I'd start the logo intro with a vr headset being put on and then studio name comes in YouVR.

                            Model walks in. Oh look, looks who here for a vr porn experience, I bet your wife or girlfriends is away or maybe you just need to relieve sum stress, bust one? , you needs sum vr time huh? Your vr games got boring huh? Instantly she referring to you, me, us the vr porn viwer.

                            Idk, just an idea 💡

                                petermc It can work in voyeur scenes when the girl looks into the camera instead of at the guy she’s fucking and talks directly to us at home.

                                I like that idea too, I like when the models look into the cam during voyeurs scenes. 👍

                                  argyle43 Taboo VR Porn does kind of what you are talking about. I really like them for this very fact

                                    Sperson @doublevr can easily generate 100 comments in a couple days from only posting a sentence or two, and even if only 5-10 of those are productive it’s still generating useful data.

                                    useful data that is completely ignored while they plow ahead with what they... not their users... want

                                        petermc i suggested shorter scenes a while back too... not <10 min scenes but more like 30-60 mins. enough for a bit of an intro for the people that want that (not me) and then like 5-10 mins in each position. surely we dont need scenes with 20+ min intros and 15+ mins of the same position. outside of harem scenes i dont see much of a case for 1+ hour scenes frankly...

                                            spacepirate there was one recently where the guy was noodling on the piano for about 15 min at the start. It was like being stuck in an elevator or being on hold on a phone call and being forced to listen to some awful easy listening piano music. The girls were making out and stripping off and I couldn’t get into it at all because of the awful music. It also makes no sense that the guy would keep playing in that situation.

                                              spacepirate in some cases you are correct, but not always. Just over the past few days there was a thread about a watch later and potentially splitting favorites and likes. That’s just one of many examples of features sourced from these forums.

                                              The voices of the vocal minority should not be the sole guidepost of product decision. This is as it should be. They should be one data point in evaluation and prioritization of a whole backlog of features. Ideas are always plentiful but resources are finite and some features that seem like they should be simple but are vastly more challenging than imagined due to things the end user can’t see.
