I have no issues with returning models making lots of scenes, especially if they’re pushing boundaries such as Alexxa vice. However you always need to bring in fresh new talent from time to time and in the last 12 months hardly any of the models that have been shot by Andrew have been new. Nearly all of them have been Gio’s old returning models.
I feel this is a real issue for this studio. Sales seem to be good which I’m pleased about but scouting for new talent must be prioritised for long-term profitability.
Thoughts?

The last of the absolute beauties who were willing to shoot traditional porn - only did so because they got into the industry just before OF took off. Baby Kxtten was camming, like, traditional camming, when she got picked up by the studios here. Anna De Ville as well could qualify for pulling in thousands daily on an OF page, although she may be a little older, but still.
Everyone that looks as hot as Baby Kxtten these days will sit in front of a camera and be like, "If we get to $2,000, I'll show you my first bra strap."
And the only reason Baby Kxtten can't do that is because there are so many videos of her on the net of her getting plugged by the entire soccer team at the same time.
So, it's not like somebody is yelling at Andrew, "Hey, Andrew! There's a whole bunch of super hot 18 year old white girls in the lobby of the building wanting to shoot porn, which are we going to choose?" To which Andrew replies, "None of them! I'm shooting Vittoria Devine today! Tell all those hot girls to go home! Permanently! Our studio is no place for them!"
Like, I think there are, like, actual odds on the table, a better chance for the Crusaders back in the day to bring home a genuine holy relic, than there is for Andrew to go out and find somebody that's white, young, and super hot who's willing to shoot porn at the studio.
That isn't his fault. That's the reality he's been handed. He's been doing an amazing job with what he's got - but - there are no magic wands that can bring back the young, white, super hot girls.
Sorry.

clevertrevor wrote:So, as it has been more recently, we're talking about somewhat older women, who have some years of sexual experience, and can realistically choose to further their exhibitionist tendencies. The train of younger women being recruited to hardcore pornography for a fast buck looks to be over, in the West, at least.
clevertrevor wrote:But I'm undoubtedly in favour of this. It demonstrates that the female performers have more agency, that there is more to porn than just the fulfilment of male consumers' fantasies, and that there are also their own.
clevertrevor wrote:Pornography is, in and of itself, not "bad" nor "dirty", even if the term itself literally translates as "writing about whores". Undoubtedly, the industry has in the past been exploitative... but then which industry can ever claim it has not been, nor is now, not?
clevertrevor wrote:I prefer to take a sex-positive view of it all. Like, as a species, we're moving on. We've understood that we can prevent unwanted pregnancies. We've realised that monogamy is not everyone's bag. We've learned that homosexuality is not an illness. People can fuck for money, fuck for other people's entertainment, without stigma or shame. I think that's a better situation than that which existed before.

It came up as Angela White (3 consecutive wins, as the only ever back to back to back AVN Female Performer of the Year). She has a massive natural ass, and even bigger tits on a slim to curvy body.
Then, it was Abella Danger (7x AVN Most Epic Ass of the Year). She has a big natural ass, relatively small tits on a slim body.
The shift in perception of female beauty has now moved on to slim to curvy, feminine body shapes, with big, natural asses, and big tits (either enhanced or natural).
There was a long time, when tall, stick thin girls with a supermodel image were considered the most beautiful, but I think we are rightly moving with the modern times.
Even going back a couple of decades ago, DD cups were considered the basic minimum to enter glamour modelling.
The problems are also with finding these types of talents, who are willing to do hardcore porn. In the small handful of women who do fit this profile, how many of them are willing to do hardcore porn in the manner of GIO/Andrew X studios.

You don't need to get into argue with these kinds of comments, or even read them. If you go onto somebody's profile and click add foe it will hide all their posts, acting kinda like a block feature - it's great for forum hygiene, I did it for this particular user a while back when it became clear what he was. Before I logged in today I could see he's been going thread to thread again polluting them with his autistic incel clown shit, but logging in is like waving an anti-jackass wand.

That guy is so cringe, it actually made me finally create an account just so I could block all his incel shit. Says porn is bad, porn woman bad, but apparently can't stop watching it. He clearly has some fucked up ideas about sex and enjoys pain/humiliation and is trying to pass it as normal and as what most porn watchers like. But still thinks he's a "good man", a great catch to "normal" women. The cope is hilarious lmao. Hopefully he stays an incel and leaves civilian women and sex workers alone

JJWhite's got one trick and one trick alone up his sleeve.
He doesn't read.
In the final twist of irony - what he labels as "autistic incel clown shit" is actually exactly the opposite.
Someone positing that women have intrinsic worth and that performing in this kind of content directly harms them (that's the reality of it, sorry) isn't "autistic incel clown shit" behavior. However, emphasizing that women need to be drinking piss and eating shit on screen while having three dicks pounding into their asshole for the world to see actually is autistic incel clown shit behavior.
Leave it to to jay-jay to use words he doesn't actually understand. Somebody probably told him the definition once but he didn't read it because he'd already blocked their profile.

Dont you get it? You are the problem.
You and people like you who come here and actually buys this trash. Again and again. Thats why it keeps getting made.
No, you just enjoy another 10 years with Alexxa vice scenes. Thats exactly what you deserve.

Andrew X recently did two scenes with a new model. Some old rough looking blonde with fake tits and botox lips. What passes for fresh talent thees days. Exactly the type of model your crowd of shit eaters like so much.
But still you are not buying it. You posted in the models thread that you are going to buy a scene only if it feature DAP.
Do you see how you are the problem?

Thanks for the nuance — incredible how it simultaneously added nothing and ended the conversation
