With the retirement of both Belle Claire and Crystal Greenville does anyone else feel like this is the end of a Golden era for LP, In no way is this a criticism of the current crop of Ladies, It just feels like with Sofy Goldfinger, Maria Devine, Lita Phoenix, Olivia Devine, Arwen Gold and Emily Thorne and others all gone for various reasons *girls who were almost Supermodel like in looks) It now feels like we were very much spoiled at the time, All that's really left from that class who is still regularly shooting is Ria Sunn.

And Monica Wild.

And May Thai.

Not sure if I agree with your concern 100% in terms of LP, but the idea of a "Golden Era" passing with the disappearance of certain stars is legit in general.

I can draw a parallel to Japanese Adult Video (JAV). For example, with the DMM studio IDEAPOCKET. I think that studio's so-called Golden Era is past, well just about passed. For the reasons you stated; the disappearance of its top, signature pornstars.

The Golden Era of IDEAPOCKET included a stable of Kaho Kasumi, Minori Hatsune, Jessica Kizaki, Aino Kishi, Tsubasa Amami and a few others. Sadly, once Kaho, Minori, Aino and others retired, the label has never been the same. Jessica Kizaki now shoots mostly for other DMM studios, leaving Tsubasa Amami as the lone survivor of IDEAPOCKET's best days. New stars have come into the brand, but it's been tough for them to meet the high standards of their predecessors. Part of the blame goes to JAV in general, which (likely due to right wing-leaning national politics) has toned down its content big time. Not nearly as hardcore as it used to be. Most of its best series no longer exist.

The difference with LP is that I think there are continually hot and great female performers coming into the brand. Not only from Europe but also certain ones from the U.S. The hotness is there and the performance is too (it's basically a prerequisite for working at LP).

Ria Sunn is missing, too. Sofi Goldfinger isn't retired as far as I know.

Anyway, for a Golden Age to end retirement isn't sufficient.
There would have to be a change of directors, too. Or a sudden softer approach as Mizar put it about JAV.
Here you may add SOS for LP, but his retirement is long past. You may wanna add Stefano's retirement recently.
But I still dont see the big change. Also retiring girls are replaced by new mainstream model look ones: Anya Akulova, Kira Thorn, Luna Corazon etc.

This said I also feel some of OPs nostalgia.
I see current times at LP as a kind of inter-periode with a core pool of new girls just built up. But Luis not filming still 3rd month in 2018 doesnt help the much needed stabilization.

1. Kira is also missing.
2. Kira is not new girl.
3. Luna Corazon is far, far away of mainstream model.

I think there is a lot of hot girls right now.

I would love to see more asian girls, and more gonzo scenes with TP and TAP, and more of Studio Proxy

I talk about a lot of previous times I started watching content put out here for a long time since Sineplex.

I think things change like with anything and yes some models will leave some will come in its always the way. Theres a ton of awesome performers out there I mean seriously you can go back through the archives and find an absolute ton of models here at LP who have come and gone but were awesome at the time. Its just the way it goes.
I dont think we can just say an Era has ended, I think the directors at LP do a good job as it goes of interacting and theyve turned out some scenes lately I was really impressed with.

So youre going to have peaks and youre going to have lower times, who remembers when LP was going through all sorts of troubles just to get scenes out daily?
Also there are not many other studios that are setup producing the rate or quality of content that LP is.

At the end of the day i've said this often despite my personal preferences LP is by far the best producer of porn in 2018 I think by a good margin.
Its why I am still here after a long time, things might not be where you personally want them at right now, but who knows things can change up they always do. Its the same for me, currently many scenes are not quite what I personally prefer, but also there are scenes I really am into so maybe we see a bit of a drift back that way, and maybe we will have a whole new wave of models in 2018.
That would be awesome lets hope so.

sadly yes, for me, a golden age is over, but I want to think possitive as in, right now, more like a "transition" period. I would love to these new talent, new girls who also looks like super models. I think it is just matter of time.

I will always love the scenes we have with all these beautiful women! They are so incredible!

Arwen Gold, Belle Claire, Crystal Greenvelle, Lita Phoenix, and others have moved on, and I will surely miss their presence here! But that's life!

Personally, I'm looking forward to the future of LegalPorno with great anticipation!

They are just getting started! There will be many more beautiful stars to rise up to the top (and eventually retire) as the years go by!

We are watching it happen before our very eyes, every single day!

Not for me. I see right now as a Golden Age.

Just this month Giorgio released or shot scenes with some of the hottest women on the planet: May Thai, Jolee Love, Kristy Black, Samantha Rone, Jasmine Jae. I already can't think straight dreaming about the delights about to be released in their scenes. These five porn angels will leave me happily exhausted and dehydrated from loss of vital fluids

2018 is shaping up nicely. Very nicely!

No. There are thousands of hotter girls than them that will come to the scene. Belle Claire was so boring.

with current videos yes, i hardly want to watch any of them compare the older videos.

Yeah, the good times are over for sure.
It all started to go down hill with the end of Sineplex and the decision to bring in the studio Interracial Vision. Veronica Avluv and Syren De Mer are now the new Timea Bella and Linda Sweet of Legal Porno. Thats how bad things are.

But it is not just on LP, porn worldwide is in a pretty sorry state right now. Hopefully things will change soon enough. Im not even worried, there is still lots of twerk videos to watch on the youtubes.

I don't like Veronica Avluv and Syren De Mer either but plenty of other people do. Anyway all of this pessimism is kind of a ridiculous when there are girls like Nicole Black, Kira Thorn, May Thai, Kirsty Black, Monica Brown, Sonya Durganova, Skiley Jam - to name but SEVEN - shooting for LP.

100% agree!

Add Jolee Love, Samantha Rone, Jasmine Jae, Luna Corazon to that already stellar list.

There's something for every taste. I am loving LP right now. This month is the best in ages! Why is that? I see it as a combo of great girls and Giorgio's increased output. With him directing a second (and clearly talented/excellent) cameraman shooting in his style, Gio is pushing LP forward.

Veronica Avluv and Syren De Mer are not my type of MILF but I hone their performances for they always translate a furious love for rough sex. Everybody has a place on LP as long as they're performing to the top of their abilities. A couple of female performers should not have the monopole of LP scenes; instead performers should surpass themselves on stage

I feel the same, liberals and social justice has affected this industry too

Looks like you new here

Its a point, but you is talking about perspective and personal tastes.

As far i remember we have like 5 "Golden Eras" so far (in 10 years )... and believe me, a tons and tons of high quality porn and models

1- in SINEPLEX old sites (Sineplex, Evilutionplex, Sinterracial) - https://www.legalporno.com/studios/sineplex-classic

2- in LP ~ Sineplex CZ - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/10 and Gonzo - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/28

3- by Sineplex SOS - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/6 , Start of Giorgio Grandi Studio https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/11 and GG scenes - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/9

4- By Sineplexico - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/2 and Giorgio Grandi Studio 2.0 - https://www.legalporno.com/studios//latest/7

Right now we are in "Golden era" 5, we have new studios starting, new models are coming, things are changing one more time, 10 years ago "LP" was shocking with a new level in porn world, lets hope they can do it again...

Giorgio Grandi is doing it with DAP as a main concept in modern porn, lets see whats the next steps

Fool.

This concept of "golden era" is very personal... but you can judge it "impersonally" just looking at this pages (I mean about "when the golden era is" for the audience)
https://www.legalporno.com/best-videos
https://www.legalporno.com/best-videos/2018

15 "dry scene" released on 2018 are already in the top 100 ever, its 5 scenes month average (and its just March 20), more than 1 scene/week. You should not only consider the content quality in the equation, you should consider also the mass of audience that is for sure increased in the last years

Problem linking Golden Age with certain models is we are getting fixed on certain girls - and there will always come a time they retire.
Retirements in the last few months have hit LP hard, but new models are recruited, a new generation is in the breeding so to say.
Important for me is to never loose track on Euromodels first!

Finally SOS departure left a big void, but Russia and Ukraine as talent pools are not gone. Whats needed is just more direct scouting put into there again!
Apart from this new Prague/EU based studios are needed again and somebody has to review IV quality and sales.
2018 may be a transition year but sure no end of a Golden Era!

For me it's hard to say.

As far a Gonzo is concerned I definitely miss the time when Blanche Bradbury, Nikita Bellucci, Timea Bella, Susan Ayn and Linda Sweet were a regular thing to get updates here at LP.

But I prefer how movies are produced today. Especially the camera work is a lot better. And IMO the male talent is a lot more consistent in the balls deep action department.

But I think Gonzo is expecting newbies to match the sales of the performers who have a massive score of followers and seems less keen on growing their fan base from the bottom and that's why there is a bunch of models with just 2 to 5 scenes? they seem to be looking for someone new to also explode in sales?

I mean if you look at the new filter, best sellers by year, 2018, it seems like most best sellers are scenes with models who already have fans and very few newbies make it to that list.

I lost interest in the model sub forum because I just can't keep track of all the different models we have seen our that some people hope to see.

I know there are people who prefer seeing new models as much as possible, but most people seem to prefer picking favorites as you can also see that a significant amount of the best sellers are Giorgio scenes and he seems to work most often with a limited amount of models.

That's just my opinion.
