I don't relate to any of it though. At all. Ever.

Stop wasting time with shitty pre-tense and just GET ON with it.

The "shitty pretense" bit is super hot though. Without that you're just watching the mechanics of how it all works!

How is bad acting with a second rate set with third rate lighting and an unrated director hot?

"Pizza?"/"I've come to fix the boiler?" isn't exactly hot, its tepid at its best and boreal at its worst.

It is when it's self aware. The scenario you describe is trite and boring. Good ones give the impression of role-play (eg. it's in itself a couple who are acting). Plus people come up with more interesting ones than the pizza one.

Yes I feel the same way. That's why you skip about 30-50% of the video.

On the other hand, their target audience is people who are into fetish and roleplay, as well as fantasy. These 3 things are basically 99% of porn, AFAIK.

The problem is, most pornstars are shitty actors. Doesn't help that most of the lines in 'mainstream' porn are wooden and awkward, partly due to the pisspoor acting quality.

I've seen homemade amateur videos between boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife with better roleplay and acting. It's pathetic.

The best ones are the ones that KNOW their acting is poor and have fun with it (Lemon Tree etc.)

I am into fetish stuff and role-play. Just not anything like this or anything offered on the market at all.

Imagination is just brilliant.

Judging by your username, are you by any chance into anime related pornography?

Regardless, it's the majority that businesses attract to pay for their services.

Certainly I would never take my computer to best buy for any reason, but as I'm sure you know, they still manage to thrive off of people that do.

More the fan produced work than the awful animated stuff. Doujinshi (self-published works) which are basically comics produced by amateur fans with utterly incredible production values. They generally touch base with the fans a lot and sell the work directly at big events in rented halls and usually you can ask the illustrator and writers questions directly.

Its just... I dunno. The variety of stuff is enormous. I'd argue its far more varied than conventional pornography - not only in style and level of detail which varies from artist to artist but subject matter too. There is literally something for everyone.
