SLR Originals reset plan - Nov '23
gogofbob This is just my personal body-image take, but I really think it's time for BG porn to retire the 12 inch schlongs. Most guys don't have that, and especially in VR and PT VR, it can feel shaming when that is pretty much all we average dudes see as the "standard".
PT have reasonable sized 'schlongs' no? when I place myself in that position I am around that size, I think about 7 inches - that is the norm I think.

gogofbob I wish I could upvote this post more than once. I agree with every point.
gogofbob Going back to Ann Joy as a positive example -- it helps when the actor is actually good at sex, particularly when it comes to raising arousal. Seriously. I remember when her first BJ vid came out with VREdging and I probably went through that video dozens of times, simply because she actually knows how to give a great BJ (taking into account haptics in this case). Agatha Vega is another excellent example of the "less talking, more being simply great at sex" idea.
Especially this. It really is something to behold when an actress is simply great at sex, and it is equally amazing how the "Oh my God! Oh shit!" every 3 seconds actresses can make their beauty utterly irrelevant with their inane chatter. I mentioned this during the last "reset" post when SLR said they were going to focus on brand new talent or those who had never shot VR by default - new talent is nice, but not if they can't sell it. VR as a medium is particularly hard on inexperienced or lackluster talent. Unfortunately, SLR seems to be focused more on constant novelty rather than on consistent quality.

Any plans to still venture out with your own JAV content? (I don’t count the western actresses that I’ve seen so far) I know the exclusivity contracts and such are a headache, not sure if that’s still a thing
PT Jav content would break new ground, I don’t think I’ve seen any native PT JAV content anywhere, or the very least Asian
I think where the paradigm has shifted and SLR has an opportunity to lead with this shift is recognizing that what worked in 2D and even VR porn does not work when haptics get involved. For this first time ever, there is a deeper level of interaction involved, and that means that the "fakeness" can't really hide any longer like it could in 2d and non-haptic porn.
The talking point I made, when examining through the new paradigm, can be boiled down to a simple question: despite how hot this person is, would I want to have sex with them given they're clearly faking it and annoyingly saying the same thing over and over? While I can't know for sure, I suspect that for many of us, the answer is no. It wouldn't matter how hot they are since the annoyance kills the mood.
Maybe I'm too cerebral, but I want to feel like there is intelligence in the experience, and non-stop "OMG" and "this feels so good" and repeated baby-talk are the exact opposite of that. Liz Ocean doesn't say a single word in the few videos she has and nevertheless, I find them infinitely more hot than the "acting" that has been in many other offerings. It's too easy to see through the acting, and when it feels like the woman isn't actually enjoying herself and is just going through the motions, that's a huge turnoff.
vrguy69 I thought my adding up of monthly subscriptions was pretty smart. The issue some of you have with me is that when I disagree you resort to calling me a troll or ass or whatever. What would life be like if I went away haha - it would be sad I tell you. I'm your entertainment value.
Plus the person who called me a troll is literally on a burner account - joined a month or so ago as his previous account was most probably banned.

vrguy69 I am not antagonising targeting or trolling lol. I am responding to some points and disagreeing and hence why you are responding in this manner. If you go through my post history, I have never once resorted to calling on anybody at SLR to remove people because of opinions I dislike.
You fail to recognise the many comments I make agreeing with many other members, which is very strange 
Also as always I am always on board with SLR's strategic direction and wish the site I pay money into success whatever decision they choose to employ. This is unlike some others like yourself who entertain the notion of SLR users 'flocking to other sites' simply on whimsical pretexts that you disagree with some of the strategic direction being employed by this site.
Hopefully this is cogent enough for you.
PS.

lol so if I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth I should just stay anyway? Something smells like shill...

Yeah except when they cast "young girls that have small boobs and no asses" 
. There was no logic. Things just worked for some time while he was on it.- Edited
gogofbob Maybe I'm vanilla, but one of the reasons I often don't watch SLR originals is because the acting and dirty-talk is often truly horrendous (and that's taking into account that it's porn). Having the girl constantly saying the same tired lines as nearly every other actor in the SLR originals gets old really quick -- I remember one recent addition who looked stunning but completely ruined the scenes because she couldn't stop saying "Oh My God" every second. Less is more. I look at stars like Ann Joy as the gold standard for this -- she manages to be smoking sexy without having to say very much at all (and when she does, it's crazy hot and not fake sounding
That's my main issue with Western porn, 100% agree.
Where CzechVR or JAV often thrive is when there's just eye contact and intimacy, with little words added and the scene not getting too loud (but nice whispering or kissing, leaning in).
But unfortunately, a lot of Western porn is very fake in comparison, the actress often throughout the entire video loudly moan or yell stuff like "oh yea" or "fk me harder", it just isn't realistic and makes it feel like very basic 2d porn, instead of having an intimate experience.
And I noticed that even in scenes where the camera is closer, it will often not focus on the face of the performer, or there's a lack of continuing eye contact (which again is sometimes related to the yelling and excessive moaning I mentioned, the performer will just stare into the distance and excessively moan, instead of interacting with the pov model/camera).
I really hope SLR takes note, I'm slightly optimistic because of the bigger focus on Alex Nash and the matchaslr guy seeming a very big fan of jav.
