2018 was worst year in these terms actually since most of the year there was no competition really but a GIO sales dominance.
Than finally Luis woke up - not so at all Joachim who seems to play always out of the field really - and completion of porn schools started again. Interesting influences vice-versa!

Effect of GIO pressure on Luis/gonzo is quite obvious, but the other way round first effects only now begin to show!

I first see it in my shopping basket: In 2019 I didnt buy 3 out of 8 scenes so far for lack of DAPs.

Not that I wouldn't like the girls, its just that trying to economize my porn spendings a bit I decided on a strict no DAP = no buy rule. Exception are solidarity issues of course, i.e. eventual DAPbreakin' is granted, but it needs an non-DAP detour to warm a rookie up for it. Now neither May Thair nor Angel Piaff are such a case, Stacy Bloom maybe yes.
Maybe... because what I also see is what I call The Veronica Leal-effect.
Veronica Leal-effect because her sales success suggests that maybe expensive to shoot DAP may not be needed anymore for the actual sample of LP users to gain top sales. Thus also meaning less investment in a scene may result in higher profit than more investment. The old - very much over-generalized of course - rule of TOP investment = TOP sales wouldn't work anymore. And TOP investment 2013 to 2018 involved DAP or DAP + wet.
Thus, if Veronica Leal works so fine for gonzo, why not try to shoot cheaper scenes and check how they really sell @ GIO?
And I got the impression the first few scenes of this new GIO prototype production batch are currently tested on us. Tell me I am wrong, Giorgio, but thats my impression!


Effect would be a light version of GIO in 2019, IF this model sells that is, of course.
Because what works for gonzo may not automatically work at GIO.

Now lets say I was right:
That isn't all just only a negative development for hardcore anal porn of course, but a double-bound new trend.

Because The Veronca Leal sales success @ gonzo isn't just because she doesn't perform expensive-to-book DAP, but because what she still does perform she does balls deep, and with both her fuckers moving, thrusting into her ass and pussy and actually fucking her deep, fast and hard.
Almost every Ed/Chris workout @ gonzo now is a counterpoint to any Neeo/Angelo DAP @ GIO.
So the Leal-effect applied properly @ GIO, too, would lead
1) to sub label opening up for DP and dpp, maybe only in order to get the girl perform DAP her 2nd or 3rd scene for sure
2) up-grading DAP scenes by having studs actually fuck the girls ass really simultaneously - instead of only pretending to do so, or having only dickhead inside - digging deeper.
2nd part of that supposed Leal-effect would be very welcome!

And 1st part I'd still really also support changing my LP shopping habits IF my solidarity would lead to a DAPbreakin' soon after DP/dpp/anal only.

Finally, of course not every girl can go from 0 to 100, i.e. perform a DAP in her first GIO scene. That was always the case. But shooting DPP @ GIO really confused me!
