good obscure porn

This one has been brewing for some time and has been in and out of my head for various reasons, but mostly because ive realized good obscure porn is really hard to find. By good i mean porn with attractive models and believable actresses and actors (using the term actor here for lack of a better term, but basically a believable porn actress/actor is someone who can perform in such a way as to lead the viewer to believe they are genuinely enjoying whatever it is they are doing by way of their body language, voice, and physical signs of arousal. no easy task when the cameras are on, but much like acting it can come naturally to some performers). But believable porn and good porn are not the same thing. It is only successful when believable intersects goodness by way of the actors/actresses also being relatively unblemished and attractive. By obscure i mean anything above and beyond the usual mechanics of intercourse between one but not more than two persons.

so why? why is it hard to find quality material as the parameters skew farther and farther away from traditional intercourse? the answer that struck me was as follows:

regular intercourse is relatively easy to perform. like films that are largely conversation based. there are so many relationship movies because its relatively easy to find actors capable of performing in the relationship capacity. its something everyone is familiar with. the more the film is taxed in its content the more difficult it is to find capable actors. you usually wont find a common no name actor in a very demanding role, or at least usually wont find their performance compelling or worth the time investment of viewing. for example: american pie. low budget... relatively simple formula... easy to find actors capable of performing the roles. as a counter example: crimson tide. high budget... complex formula... detailed stunts... exotic sets... elaborate action... multi dimensional characters... and thus difficult to find actors capable of performing the roles. Essentially as difficulty and complexity rise so do costs and as all three rise the talent pool shrinks. If you want someone to perform believable sex with six partners your talent pool will be smaller than if you want them to perform alone in a setting similar to a dimly lit bedroom. If you want someone to perform a soft core, mostly clothed, scene composed largely of kissing your pool will be enormous, but if you go out and need to find a performer for a BDSM strap on scene between men featuring candle wax and woman with a prosthetic leg youll be looking long and hard for performers.

with pornography the previous mechanism as at work with the additional mechanism of a secondary cost that plays a very different role. in film the costs involved are an investment in the talent pool to ensure that the very best talent from the tiny pool makes it into the film, and sometimes the /available/ talent pool is so thin that production companies run the real risk of not even netting the best talent. in pornography the costs involved are very personal due to the nature of intercourse and the attendant risks. because the costs are placed with the individual this has a similar effect of shrinking the talent pool capable of performing well. the selection process is reversed with identical outcomes.

but there's more at work too. Because the costs are largely personal and the returns minimal in pornography the majority of actors and actresses will select films with low costs. So if say 80 percent of the talent pool is attractive, the majority of them will end up in films that are not obscure. the 20 percent that are not attractive will have a majority likely also end up in mainstream films, but not as large a majority, since being unattractive will lead to a bad porno the producers will try to reduce unattractive contracts as much as possible. So where are we ending up? We are ending up with a disproportionate number of unattractive people with no recourse in the industry but to select high cost projects. The talent pool available to producers in porn making high cost films will be heavily skewed toward less attractive talent. At each outpost farther and farther from traditional intercourse the number of less attractive contracts increases while the more attractive ("good") contracts are progressively eaten up by the lower cost projects. It works in reverse for movies.

And so if you want to see "chick takes dick in ass #8" you will likely find an attractive believable cast. If you want to see "chick takes dick in ass, mouth, earhole, while cake is smeared on her body and she pees in guys mouth while recieving blow job from another guy #1" you will likely find an unattractive marginally believable cast. The budgets of porn films, notoriously tiny, further exacerbate this problem. If a person wants 1000 dollars for a scene will they choose to do something they are more or less familiar with or will they choose to be bedded by an animal in a dark barn with a dominatrix taking a horse whip to their hind parts? very high cost.

for this reason (and likely others) it will always be pretty damn hard to find porn that is both obscure and good and without a price point that makes you wonder why you're not using the money to pay for your bills/groceries/essential amenities.
