Today I was reviewing my LP behaviour and noticed that I have basically stopped buying scenes recently or even going back over old scenes to try to find something of interest. This is not something i planned , I guess it has happened because the content is missing an edge for me, it is really starting to feel like evilangel or brazzers. These are Ok sites and I have bought plenty from them but i wanted LP for something different and now that feeling is starting to go. Anyone with the same ?
Today i even bought a scene of no interest just to have something to buy, if this is the future I will have to just move on.
I thought it was worth one effort to reach out to the LP guys before making this step.
The first request would be to bring back some pissing, not every scene but a regular supply at least. From previous posts I get the feeling this is not an easy decision for LP. Please try to fixing the problem with pissing, if it is a real problem for now then can we have some girls rimming the boys ? or some really rough gagging/ deep throat ? how about girls occasionally fisting a guy ? all with the usual anal sex of course we come to expect from LP. I realise I need and expect some rough edges from LP , is there any hope ? Perhaps XXX will read and can help !

Well, rather than speculate, why not take a look at the updated* list of best sellers?
http://legalporno.com/best-videos
Hmm, looks like over half of them are piss scenes. In fact, I don't have time to go through all 100, but 14 of the top 20 are piss scenes. Quite shocking, eh?

*Note, for example, that the Abby scene that had been #1 basically forever is now no longer in the top 50.

I also don't doubt that fans who like DAP, buy DAP scenes for the DAP.
And if a scene should happen to contain both? Well.. you get the picture.
Or at least I should hope you do.
Here's an interesting statistic:
- Total number of piss scenes, not containing DAP, in the top 100 best videos = 21
- Total number of DAP scenes, not containing piss, in the top 100 best videos = 32
Here's an even more interesting statistic. Assigning a value of 100 points to scene #1, a value of 99 points to scene #2, ..., and a value of 1 point to scene #100, we get the following total point values for each of the aforementioned groups, based upon actual scene rankings:
- Total point value for piss scenes, not containing DAP = 783
- Total point value for DAP scenes, not containing piss = 1509
Is that a coincidence?
Does the DAP have nothing to do with it?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The core target market of Sineplex/Gonzo/GG has been, and always will be, hardcore anal fans.
I don't necessarily disagree with your argument that LegalPorno is going more mainstream (no pun intended ). If by mainstream, you mean 'without piss'.
At any rate, I'm sure LP will be just fine, as long as it keeps consistently producing the quality of content it has lately
In the end, any debates about piss are null and void at this point. The decision has already been made, regardless of the reasoning behind it.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:And yet, the numbers say otherwise. Look, out of all the scenes released by LP in the last 2.5 years (since the move to Prague), no more than 10-20% have been piss scenes. Yet over half of the 100 best sellers are piss scenes. To call this a coincidence is preposterous. If you don't believe me, ask a statistics professor about the likelihood of that kind of correlation being due to pure chance.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:By mainstream, I mean "a carbon copy of sites like 21Sextury or Brazzers, with a bit of Kink mixed in" -- although, in the long run, I'm not sure what their plan is. One thing I am sure of is that even if they go completely vanilla, and stop shooting any anal scenes, you'll still be right here cheering them on, and telling them that every scene they release is the greatest thing since sliced bread. That's just what you do.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:This is exactly what I'm talking about. Most of the recent scenes (especially the Gonzo scenes) have been far more softcore, and not just because they lack piss. They have also had less anal, far less ATM, and so on. I fully expect these trends to continue, at least until XXX realizes that no one is going to come here to get the same stuff they can find at sites like 21Sextury and Brazzers, for much lower prices.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:Not true. It's not too late for XXX to realize the error of his ways, and get the site moving back in the right direction, by producing the same kind of material that, according to him, has accompanied the "tremendous growth" over the past year (which, not coincidentally, is the same time frame that they were releasing so many piss scenes, and so much more hardcore scenes in general).
gapefan wrote:Here, let me spell it out for you again, since you seem to be having such a difficult time grasping the concept.
DAP is more statistically significant, and profitable, than piss is!
Many of those 'piss' scenes you keep referencing in the top 100, also contain (guess what?) *gasp* DAP!
And regardless of what you say, if they got rid of the all anal, DP, DAP, gapes, gapefarts, etc. then no, I would not be here cheering them on
No matter what, I'm sure you'll still be right here bitching and moaning, telling them that every scene they release is getting softer and softer. That's just what you do
xxx hasn't made an error! He is a calculated businessman. Shame on you for believing otherwise!
Tastes Like Ass wrote:So what? What does DAP have to do with any of this? I have never said they should stop producing DAP scenes. The obvious fact is that DAP sells well -- but so does piss! So, the logical thing would be to shoot some scenes with DAP but no piss, some scenes with piss but no DAP, and some scenes with both piss and DAP. And guess what? That's exactly what they were doing during the time when, according to XXX, the site experienced such growth, and it's what they should do again.

It's complicate to take decisions, xxx knows what he is doing so somehow I'm sure everyone will get benefits from a "clean up" of the home page (i mean studios)... time will tell us smt, will be fast to understand if sales increase or decrease
Tastes Like Ass wrote:Sure you would. Just like when they were producing so many piss scenes, you always said, "Well, I don't like the piss, but all these scenes are still so [amazing/brilliant/fantastic/incredible/magnificent/phenomenal/remarkable/spectacular/unbelievable/wonderful] that I'm still going to buy them anyway." Face it, you're a total suck-up. That's why you love ADT, the world's foremost gathering place for ass-kissing suck-ups.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:No, unlike you, I speak my opinions honestly, without regard for what others will think. Sure, I make a lot of negative comments, but I also make plenty of positive comments, when the material deserves it. If you don't believe me, go back and look at my posts from earlier this year (around February and March), when I was telling Giorgio that he was putting out some of the best scenes in the nearly 20 years I've been watching porn. Or just go look at the "Access to Paradise" thread that you linked to earlier, where I said that LP was putting out by far the porn in the industry. I said those things not to suck up, but because they were true, which is the same reason I have criticized the scenes from the last couple of months.
Tastes Like Ass wrote:This is a perfect example of what a suck-up you are. Are you seriously claiming that XXX is perfect, and incapable of ever making a mistake? Honestly, I'm surprised that even you would kiss his ass that blatantly!
gapefan wrote:Sure, shooting both would be the logical thing to do. Unless there were other reasons not to...
I agree with Giorgio. And xxx
I am not claiming xxx is perfect. xxx is a numbers guy. You can tell from reading his posts, that he's always analyzing the reasons behind the numbers. What I am saying is, in regards to his decision to cease making piss scenes, I believe he made the right one. And I believe that he did his homework, before he made such a drastic and controversial decision

gapefan wrote:No. I just don't know what the facts surrounding the issue are.
I have no idea who is in the right, and who is in the wrong here.
Who knows what their business contract is, or was? I'm not privy to that information.
That, and I like all three studios. I wish them each all the success in the world
Preferably under one banner, at LegalPorno
