  • SLR Originals Casting - November 2023 update

If Simsense casting is great and Nash’s casting is great, what exactly was meant by improving casting logic? It sounds like you’re all pretty happy with the casting how it is.

I can’t really comment on Simsense as I don’t watch PT scenes but I don’t understand the logic of getting brand new girls for VR scenes. It’s literally the worst place for them to start as the whole scene and whole story rests completely on their shoulders. Experienced performers are much better for VR than brand new girls who don’t know what they’re doing in my opinion. Much better for new girls to start in scenes where they don’t have to worry about acting or remembering lines, they just have to learn how to have sex on camera. They can then come to VR when they’re more confident and experienced.

As for Nash, I wish he’d cast some different male performers. It’s incredibly dull to have the same guy in every scene, especially when he’s probably nearly old enough to be these girls grandfather! I can’t imagine it’s too much fun for these teenage girls to fuck some old guy in his 50’s or older.

    "Great" doesn't mean there's no room for improvement, especially with a renewed focus on multi-girl scenes, as well as potentially longer-term with any new producers we may partner with down the line/etc.

      This has been discussed a lot, and I completely agree with you. The only answer that fits the rest of my experience here is that SLR seems to be more interested in novelty than quality a lot of the time. I think this is because they are very tech-focused rather than creativity-focused - tech culture embraces that "move fast and break things" nonsense and seems to believe constant novelty and change = innovation.

        I think it might have to do with cost. The more experienced hotter chicks cost more to book and they’re harder to book because they are in demand and have choices.

        Who the hell cares about the male performer? Never understood this. You’re jerking to the girl not the dude, it’s just a dick, I don’t pay attention to the male even an ounce when I watching. People are insane to let that affect their opinion

            Hurto11 lots of people care about the male performer. Some will complain about tattoos, skin colour, body hair, how handsy they are, if they breathe too loud. None of those things are an issue for me. All I’m interested in is if they can make the scene look good on camera.

            Only my opinion but John Strong is too short to make doggy style look good. The girls have to go super low for him to be able to fuck them and even then he’s having to thrust upwards. Even in flat porn, he was never good at it, he was too short to kneel behind the girl so had to kneel on one leg and stand on the other to get himself high enough to fuck them, especially for anal.

            By porn standards he’s also not the most well endowed guy either. Not that I need huge monster cocks but VR doesn’t have close ups, the dick is a fair distance away from the camera at all times so has to be big enough to look impressive when fucking the girl from a distance. John Strong scenes don’t look impressive. When the girl pulls his dick out and is all “oh my god, it’s so big”, we can all see it isn’t. Despite having a smaller dick, he also never seems to let girls deepthroat him. Plus he’s an old guy, he’s been in porn forever so you know these young teen girls are fucking someone probably old enough to be their grandfather which is a bit creepy. It can’t be too much fun for them to fuck this pasty, short old guy rather than someone they might actually be turned on by.

            I’ll give him that he’s reliable, he doesn’t seem to have wood issues and he turns up and does the job. The scenes don’t look impressive though for all the reasons I’ve said, it’s just boring to watch for me.

            None of this would be a major issue for me if he was one of a revolving door of male talent. He’s not though, he’s in pretty much every single scene by Alex Nash on SLR and now on VRSpy. He even dragged him over to Europe with him to shoot all the European girls. I don’t know what he does that justifies this slavish devotion to using him in every scene.

            It’s doubly boring then to have the same guy in every scene especially when he brings nothing exciting to the scene in the first place.

                petermc Only my opinion but John Strong is too short to make doggy style look good

                I agree that doggy isn't great in Nash scenes but I don't think it's because John is short. A lot of the girls are tiny and even shorter than him. It's probably more of a direction problem because differences in height can easily be worked around by getting the girls to spread their legs more, having the guy stand on something, etc.

                petermc it’s just boring to watch for me.

                If it's boring because the fucking is so slow and soft, well, that applies to most VR scenes, even ones without John.

                      Hurto11 I think it might have to do with cost. The more experienced hotter chicks cost more to book and they’re harder to book because they are in demand and have choices.

                      In general when it comes to bookings - performer cost isn't really a factor with who we book, but demand & availability most definitely is.

                        I don't know anything about the male talent and generally don't care but who was the guy in the L.E.N.A scene as I think that doggy section is one of the best doggy scenes I have ever watched in VR, both Lena Paul and the male talent were fantastic in that.

                        I think the doggy scenes in VRLatina scenes are generally great as they can do some good doggy pounding at times.

                        Also would love to hear some recommendations on what people perceive a good doggy section to be.

                            theHobbit pretty much anything by LHVR usually looks decent to me for doggy style. Melanie Marie’s latest one for them is pretty good. Plenty seem to hate them for some reason, moaning about the house or being too far away. I think they’re pretty decent apart from the fact they don’t do anal scenes although I think they shoot a lot of anal for Realjam/Porncorn.

                            Veronica Leal for VRPlayful looks good too (she always manages to make it look good!)

                              redsazxcr if you want to look at the girl’s face, I’m sure they’re fine.

                              I personally want a good view of the girls ass fully bent over on all fours and back arched to accentuate it further. I also want to be able to see the penetration. If I want to look at the girls face, I’ll choose missionary. Doggy style is all about the ass for me.

                                  lmao everyone has their favorite. For me it's the close up missionary.....or squatting cowgirl leaning forward.

                                  I like John Strong for this very reason. He's the 'normal' guy that bangs these girls.

                                  I don't know what you mean by looking impressive at a distance. I find that to be a subjective term than it's something that can be quantified into be better for the over all visuals for all viewers. I for certain have watch normal dicked guys put on a more impressive show than bigger dicked guys, not to mention I've seen enough scenes that was obviously slowed down because the girl was uncomfortable or in pain if going faster. Some of course dig that but that's niche content rather afaik.

                                  That's not to say I'm not aware than there's of course a limit to how small we can go - I just don't think John Strong that guy.

                                  petermc Doggy style is all about the ass for me.

                                  On that we can agree. To each their own of course but I'm tired of the turning and twisting of the girls to show their face for an entire doggy scene - like really? That's what people do in real life in that position?

                                      For me, it's not about seeing her ass, it's about me feeling her ass. This position does a great job of tricking my brain into feeling her ass against my body.

                                      I think this is the biggest advantage of VR over 2D pornography. Immersion and feeling, not just watching.

                                          redsazxcr Immersion and feeling, not just watching.

                                          A lot of the complainers for alternate camera angles seem to forget this. They want 3D porn, not VR.
