BML5768 you got a source for that "3rd most popular in the united states"? everything I'm seeing in datasets it's far from the third most popular. You actually helped make your data worse by showing this as well, brazil culturally being trans oriented is a skew in the data, and if you remove that single country the trans popularity would dramatically fall in rankings. In most data analytics that entire country would be removed on account of large data bias.

    Also an idea, if there are 5 studios, why not make them all different and brand them accordingly.

    If Alex Nash is your prestige scenes (as most seem to think) call his scenes SLR Nash. If another is passthrough then call their studio SLR In Your House (or something snappier). You could have an SLR Europe, an SLR Milf, an SLR Anal (you knew it was coming!). Instead of just producing the same stuff across 5 studios, make a conscious decision to produce varied content.

      doublevr it’s just the way you said it in your post. That’s what it sounded like!

      That's not my data, lol, its what Pornhub shared in their annual report. Just to clarify, I don't own or run Pornhub and I didn't create that report.

      get ready for some intense pushback on that concept. If I could get SLR Multi-Girl/Harem and pay a premium $200/yr knowing I’ll get nothing but one guaranteed Dream Team style scene and three quality bgg or bggg’s every month, and not have to look at all this other stuff believe me I’d do that in a heartbeat — not a second thought. But you have the folks that are interested in lots of variety and all manner of content that will be upset that they now have to pay for all the niches separately. The truth of the matter is someone is always going to find something to bitch about. I’m just hoping the upcoming Sultans Harem nails the genre and I can disappear into that for a couple months and ignore all this other drama filled bullshit.

      And this is coming from someone who already paid lifetime. I realize now that the value I got from that one time fee was at its maximum from mid-2021 to mid 2022 once that awful Canon camera came online. Now it is being and seems will be even more diluted by what to me (as someone above put it) is just a bunch of dreck. Is what it is - I’m still pretty happy with the content from that golden period though and continue to revisit it often. The Philip Casting era. I already miss you Philip.

        argyle43 I think the idea is to make it easier for SLR subscribers to find what they're looking for, not to separate it out into separate subscriptions. Think CzechVR's Fetish vs Casting vs Intimacy vs Regular scenes. All part of one subscription, but delineated by focus so it's easier to browse your preferences without wading through stuff you weren't interested in.

          doublevr yes I see the upcoming queue has finally been filled. MILF’s aren’t my thing but thrilled the harem theme has continued and cannot wait for the younger girls episode we saw pictures from. As for Adria and the following scene, now that’s what I’m talking about 🤩😍

          argyle43 I don’t mean you’d have to pay separately. I just mean they’re now at 20 scenes per month for SLRO and maybe more if 5 teams get up and running. I’m just saying, instead of releasing all 20 scenes under one banner (SLRO) you differentiate and give each team their own label within SLRO. Alex Nash would have own line, whoever is going to be on passthrough duty will have their own line. It would all still be under the SLRO umbrella though. You wouldn’t pay extra.

            Mutiny petermc sure that makes sense. I would only ask that the upcoming Originals queue be fixed so it includes everything SLR is releasing. The last two JAV scenes have dropped on the Original schedule but tagging and default filters prevent them from showing up. I happen to like JAV but the off switch keeps triggering so I miss them dropping. There’s only one prominent link to Originals on the front page — why can’t that have scene posters, dates, and channel included in the upcoming queue?

            In the past we’ve seen scenes in that queue for weeks and weeks with no committed date. Scenes drop in ahead of it. So when there’s nothing in the queue one hopes the scene they’re most anticipating will suddenly drop, but two Mondays it has been JAV which has a default off-filter attached to the category so it seems nothing dropped. If this queue were consistently kept up to date with scenes that are given a date that is honored, it would go a loooooong way to managing expectations. Of course there will still be those that complain that every scene isn’t matching their tastes, but that is a separate issue.

            Mutiny Well, I for one am looking forward to your work.

            Like LordCrash said, you can always mix POV & non-POV action. I enjoy watching other people have sex & even being watched by others having sex. Like the Eyes Wide Shut orgy scene where you walk around watching other banging away until you come upon one unoccupied lovely that it's your turn with. Or walk into a club with my partner and she gets stripped and fucked while someone is sitting by me slowly stroking me off but the focus is on the action in front.

            Or given your film background you could shoot a (short) film or series in VR with a proper, interesting story line, but with copious amounts of gratuitous nudity and sex. There will be nothing else like it.

            It would be a shame if you have 4-5 production teams and they all shot the same thing.

              Thanks, blaze466 I know it's tough when you can't see behind the scenes, but one thing I know for sure is these producers — and everyone at the company — just want to do great work that makes you guys happy. All any of us can do is try, learn, and keep aspiring to do better.

              🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

              Coming into a room like that in VR would be a dream come true. Like being the freshman who is introduced in this super filthy high society circle in which everybody has sex with everyone and every girl you come by is eager to fuck with you and to please you...

              In the ideal setting such an orgy would include some moving-cam aka "walking" sections for the full fantasy. But with modern techniques you could make them easily skippable for those who might get motion sick that way. Damn, how much I'd love such a scene, one big baccanalia feast with lots of men and women fucking around you. The tech is now almost advanced enough to make you really feel like you're there. I can only imagine such an orgy in 10k VR... 🥹🤯

              Damn, another great suggestion. Sooooo fucking hot... 🤤👍

              You made great harem scenes but when will we finally get proper orgy scenes @doublevr ? 😉

                petermc Yes, SLR was always a Netflix style site with lots of content from other studios. That was not what attracted me (or the others complaining here) to them. Some of the other sites were decent (SexBabesVR, DeepInSexVR), but not enough to join for since their releases were delayed and I could either sub to them or pirate them if I really wanted to. The other studios were not a factor to me because they do the type of porn I DONT like - either gonzo (WankzVR), the same tired scenes repeated endlessly with poor positions (RealJamVR), amatures who really just want to bang models (Tadpole, PerVRt), very old recycled stuff (TMWvr), or shaky cam nonsense filmed with 2 GoPros taped together on a stick (No2StudioVR), etc.

                The thing I subbed for was the glory days of SLR Originals, when Alex Nash was shooting almost all of them, and they were masterpieces of immersion-friendly VR - GFE, story driven, top models who knew how to seduce and fuck, perfect lighting and camera placement, etc. This was solidified even more when they hired @RealcumberScripts to provide perfectly matching, handcrafted, frame by frame scenes for use with The Handy. That arrangement was just chef's kiss.

                Starting last summer, though, they have moved away from that - hard. Instead of a master director, they have several crews of also-rans filming in warehouses with models who are often out of their depth or poorly coached. Don't get me wrong - there are a few gems here and there, but the consistent quality of the Nash-era is gone. To make matters worse, they seem to be driven to provide less and less with our subscription dollars with each change - fewer Nash-quality SLR Originals, SLR Original releases diluted over several product lines, ever decreasing production values, fewer and fewer downloads allowed, DeoVR getting worse with every iteration, blocking XBVR, blocking Heresphere - the list just goes on and on. Now, apparently, we're going to focus on non-POV, because we just haven't seen it done right. Sigh.

                If you all are happy with lots of low-quality porn, have fun. I'm not the only poster noticing the Walmart effect around here. I admit I am a power user and an enthusiast of sorts (I have a Pimax, Oculus Pro, Vive, Handy, spare Handy, SR-6, and have paid thousands of dollars to private scripters), but it seems that the quality, prime-time product I signed up for is being overruled by "volume" and "diversity". Others have suggested that perhaps SLR Originals - Nash-style - should be a seperate studio, dedicated to that type of release and maybe at a premium price. I'd pay it, gladly. No one else is doing VR that well, in my opinion, so there is nowhere else to go for me once it dies. Right now, I am really just staying for the scripts, and mostly only @RealcumberScripts at that. This follows my evolution of interest in this site: I used to check all the new videos daily (until they were mostly crap), then check SLR Originals daily (until they died, too). Now I just check to see what was scripted - but since they seem to be pushing hard for AI-generated scripts, I am sad to say that that probably won't last long either.

                Walmart makes a ton of money, but they still sell crap. When Walmart comes to your town, their giant Netflix-style stores with lots of content put the other stores out of business. Once that happens, the only choice you have is crap.

                Be careful what you wish for.

                  Will65 This is a well-reasoned, reasonable, specific list of issues and I appreciate you taking the time to write it up. I don't agree with all of your conclusions (obvs), but I see where you're coming from. Hope you get what you want out of all this in the future.

                  Mutiny And notice how the core CzechVR scenes are relaesed regularly, with the niche updates being fewer, and all of them on a published, predictable release schedule. SLR could learn from that.
