theHobbit That's true, let's see
SLR Originals reset plan - Nov '23
doublevr Unfortunately nothing about any of this excites me at all, quite the opposite. Not trolling here, just genuinely have zero interest in passthrough, seeing the script for the scenes, female POV or cgi backgrounds, I just want decent VR porn scenes with some variety. Cutting back production is not great to hear either. Not a fan of Alex Nash or Sense Media so focusing purely on them is a big concern. Plus moving Nash into passthrough as well as Sense Media suggests the lions share of new scenes will be passthrough as they’re your only two producers.
I’m sure some people will like this news, I can only assume the numbers must be telling you to go all in on passthrough but, if this is the direction of the site, I don’t think I’ll be renewing when my annual subscription runs out. That’s not me throwing a tantrum, there’s just no point paying for something which you do not enjoy. Not that one person cancelling makes any difference but you asked for feedback and there it is.
petermc I didn’t get the vibe that passthrough was going to be taking over completely, from this post. If that IS the case, yeah, I agree; I still think traditional non-PT has a place and should remain the primary form of SLR-exclusive content, and I’ll likely be passing on a resub if SLR becomes majority-PT… but again, I didn’t get that vibe from this post, personally
Some comments:
#2: If you are scaling down monthly releases (with two main producers), how often will we expect the longer "signature SLRO" scenes (90min+ full-package FFMs)?
#3: Similar to the previous point, currently 11/32 of the most recent scenes are PT, so approx 35%. Is this percentage going to change as part of the reset?
#4: Not sure what you mean here, but I am all for at least some casting/scenarios to be suggested by the userbase (a reminder again that Modern Relationship (at least the story) was fan suggested)
#8: Be more specific? What concepts are you thinking of? Stuff like found in JAV?. That would be cool.
#9: Excited for this. Let the fan base suggest some ideas.
Female POV of a BGG is a pass for me.
For normal VR videos would request to add some more positions into the mix like standing mish,pronebone, spoon etc.
Check this Recent VRP Video, where it had some good positions but the camera and lighting work ruined it.
Those are some great priorities imo! Especially excited about the passthrough improvements personally. I've already become a convert but there is still so much untapped potential.
Also getting some long scenes with a good script is something I really like. I like the idea of quality over quantity in these bullet points. After all, who needs another generic scene? There is plenty of that available already.
petermc It honestly seems like you read the PT part and then decided to ignore the entire rest of the post that mentioned more high-quality&longer scenes, better actress selection and scenarios etc, nowhere did it state that they'd do drastically more PT than normal videos.
Sometimes feels like your only reason for being on this forum is to complain, I don't know how anyone could take this thread as a bad direction forward. The majority of people wished for longer and more creative scenes instead of rushing out too much mediocre material with less thought behind it.

dineshweb Position variety is good, but imo shouldn't be done by just adding all positions to each video.
The intimacy in JAV for example is often achieved by having less positions and instead a lot of eye contact throughout 2-3 positions, that way you get more relaxed and immersed in a scene. I noticed in some newer videos on SLR that immersive positions like cowboy with eye contact don't get enough time in a video, because they feel the need to add too many different ones.
So I think if they add more positions, it should be done by maintaining a low amount of positions in an individual video, but can then experiment with select videos that focus on special positions like the ones you mentioned (for example a slower video focused on spooning etc).
Timbama Exactly this and to add to that: I know people will complain when their favorite position is missing but having all of them in every scene just makes the scenes formulaic. I think it also greatly limits the possibility for creativity. Having some good positions that work in synergy with the setup/ script is one of the reasons JAV scenes tend to feel more immersive. After all when you have sex with your girlfriend you won't do every position every time either right? Take another example: Let's say you have a scene that focusses on sex in public, you can see how limiting having to cram in all the favorites here can be.

Timbama it honestly seems like you saw the passthrough comments in my post and ignored the rest of it. Let’s go through the reset though.
I’m not even sure what it means. It’s Alex Nash related though and, as I mentioned, I’m not a fan of his stuff, nothing to do with passthrough.
Like I said, it’s not great to hear that we’re getting less content and I’m not a fan of the two producers they are now going forward with. Again not passthrough related although one of their producers only shoots passthrough so, for the rest of us, we’re down to one guy who I don’t enjoy. He didn’t say “concentrating on longer high quality scenes rather than pumping out lots of mediocre ones” that’s all your interpretation. There’s going to be less content as he’s fired all of their other content providers, that is the sole reason. If anything the two content providers they have left will be under more pressure to churn out scenes as there’s no one else to share the load.
By far the biggest post and all about passthrough which I have no interest in. Includes moving their one non-passthrough producer into passthrough production, female POV etc. All mentioned in my post.
I don’t even know what that means. I’m sure we all want “improved” casting but we all probably have a completely different idea of what that means. I don’t have a huge issue with their casting as it is.
This feels like something to improve efficiency for them (especially for passthrough), nothing to get excited about for the consumer.
CGI backgrounds for passthrough, like I said no interest in this. It won’t work with their new “Alpha” passthrough content anyway. That’s why all the CG scenes so far are on older passthrough content.
Scenes will have basic scripts for story and some dialogue. That already happens on some scenes anyway. Nothing to get excited about for us.
Pretty vague stuff.
This is possibly something to excite people if it happens. The people who made that scene are long gone though.
I’m not sure where he said there’d be more high quality and longer scenes or better scenarios. There’s zero mention of scene length or better quality. They’re continuing to use the same two producers that they’ve been using so why would anything change?
As for better actress selection, like I said, that’s entirely subjective. Your idea of better is likely very different to mine which is probably very different to his.
The last time he did one of these types of posts about resetting, I was excited about it, didn’t complain at all. He talked about lots of producers, more content, more variety, default BGG anal scenes. None of it actually happened.
If it feels like I’m complaining a lot, it’s because I don’t enjoy their current content, getting on for half of which is now passthrough and likely more going forward. Hence I will probably not be re-subscribing when my current one runs out. Nothing in this reset addresses any of my issues or gets me excited.

dineshweb Yup, If there is already laying cowgirl or reverse cowgirl then no need for the same in the sitting position.
I don't think you can do that without making scenes less popular. The sitting positions do nothing for me so I wouldn't care if they were omitted, but I would care if laying positions were left out. I'd imagine that someone who likes the sitting positions and not the laying ones would feel a similar way if sitting positions were left out.
Hairsational I feel the same way about seated vs. lying down and I'd rather have a proper lying down take 60% of the time instead of scraps 100% of the time. Especially with Nash scenes, everything after the seated part feels like going through a checklist.
Hairsational 100% I skip all the laying down bits.
awesome
- I don't see an issue that both laying down and sitting positions in the same video in AR porn. Imho the issue is that either positions often feel rushed and they are over before they started. So I end up having to loop it. Just make them longer.
- I also don't like there's less focus on eg. other positions. Instead I feel there should be more work put into making those positions better for AR porn. I would like to eg. bang the girl on or over my desk or dinning table. It's fun.
- In terms of VR vs AR... well I dislike the idea of focus on CGI background as I think the two departments should be completely separate. Issue here is the same as I see so much in porn... 'Jack of all trades but master of none' that ends up pleasing neither party. Just separate them and have a team or two that perfects VR and a team or two that perfects AR.
- I like the idea of Modern relationship turning into a series.
