And if you never fell in porn-"love" than maybe good for you.
But we still do! And I dont care whether my ex-/porn-"loves" escort or not, but yes, their adult entertainment has to be good.

This said for me the one and only girl for years is the long retired Prague Golden Age star Julie Silver.

How is it for you?
What does being in porn-"love" mean for you?
Thanks for the admonishment,
dap-addict. I was just trying to make a joke and did not actually add constructively to the conversation. By the way, my favorite in the early Julie Silver era was Julie Robbins, for reasons like yours. I have tried to collect all of her original-scene DVDs. And now on to the topic:
I certainly have fallen in Porn Love a few times, as will be shown here.
For me, one can have a harem of several lovable pornstars, whom we could call our Porn Loves. But I am here treating your expression
being in porn-"love" the same as the expression "Porn Love." So there could be the noun form (Khali is my favorite Porn Love), and the verb form (the experiences associated with your Porn Love). I shall deal here with some
experiences I associate with Porn Love in general.
PORN LOVE IS . . . HOW WONDERFUL YOUR MODEL, THROUGH HER PORN, MAKES YOU FEEL
An example of this aspect of Porn Love is when I recently opened an adult magazine that featured several pages of one of my favorite models, Sophie Strauss, also known as Guinevere, Melisande, and Katie Reynolds. In the magazine, I saw her smiling at "me" and I felt Joy. I smiled back and felt loved by her. And that was all I needed at the time. The Joy that I felt was like a Reflex. Love at first sight, but also again and again, from the same model!
At iafd.com she is listed as Melisande (2005-2012). (It should say 2004-2012.)

PORN LOVE IS . . . PRESERVING HER PORN AT ITS HIGHEST QUALITYI once offered a porn director a significant sum to acquire digital copies of the original video files he owned the rights to that were available at the KatieReynolds site, which features Sophie exclusively. I was hoping that the original files would be of a slightly higher quality than those available at the site, and most of them were. So I took a chance, and it was worth it. It was actually interesting that some of the purchased files, though in the same format as the site files, were smaller in file size, but still higher in quality, than the corresponding site files. Note that the purchased files were for personal use only, and no rights were transferred.
One bonus was that there were two videos of her that I had not seen before, and I had done a pretty exhaustive search. I have also not seen them elsewhere since. Some of the video files he sent me were raw files from the original one-hour tapes she and an earlier director had made, although not in the DV format (different from the DVD format) that I would presume was used, as, at the time, miniDV tapes were quite popular, and many of these tapes were available with 60 min capacities. In other words, there were twelve additional files, each about an hour long, and each containing 3 or more videos. That was another kind of personal-touch, "souvenir-y" thing. You would know the order in which the videos were originally filmed. And those long additional files were largely where the "better" versions of the web files were located.
I also attempted to acquire a special souvenir of my connection with Sophie by offering $300 to a man I thought might still have a master tape of three scenes he made of her in 2005. In these scenes, she was known as Guinevere. I offered him the high price as an incentive for him to search for the original miniDV tape if he still had it. He needed to make a trip out of town to his storage place to look for the tape. And he said there was no guarantee he would be able to find it, as he had thousands of such tapes. I offered him $100 just to do the search. He found the tape! And I eventually received it in the mail. This one was actually the less-common 80 min type of miniDV tape. I have tried to acquire other miniDV tapes from several other producers/directors, but without success.
I needed to buy an old camcorder with FireWire to transfer a copy of the digital data on the tape to my old WinXP laptop that also had FireWire. I also bought a FireWire cable and a miniDV tape head cleaner for the camcorder. That was a major project and a labor of love! And so . . .
PORN LOVE IS . . . BEING WILLING TO SPEND EXTRA MONEY ON HER PORN, WITH NO REGRETS
I ran the one-hour tape through the program WinDV, a program specifically designed to transfer miniDV tape data to a hard drive. Then of course you can save that transferred data to DVDs or Blu-Rays. It is an exact copy of the digital data on the tape. VHS data, by contrast, is analog, not digital. The term DV stands for Digital Video. Believe it or not, the DV format allows a miniDV tape to hold about 13 GB of data per hour of tape. The tape of her was at 720x480. I estimate that the tape version was about 15% higher quality than the original "mass-produced" corresponding DVD version. And the newly created DVDs from the copied miniDV tape data were of the same higher quality also. So the tape was a souvenir and also the perfect source to preserve archival material.
Another reason for buying the tape was that such tapes are said to start to deteriorate after 15-20 years, and often the transfer from any tape to DVD is never a perfectly lossless copy. So I wished for the definitive version of her scenes. There could still be thousands of such tapes hidden away from the years 2000-2005 of some "nostalgic" adult scenes that were only available on the Internet at 320x240 resolution due to low bandwidths on ancient modems. As a Porn Preservationist, I was glad to have preserved the data on at least one of those tapes.
PORN LOVE IS . . . WANTING TO KNOW HER REAL NAME BUT KEEPING IT A SECRET IF YOU FIND ITPorn Love to me also means trying to connect with her in another way by knowing her real name, but without telling anyone what that name is. I have known her real name for several years and it was not from that old WikiLeaks list of stars which I think has now been removed from the Internet. The name came from some random commenter on one of the tube sites. I then "tested" the name, and things did fit. Even if it is not considered PC to search for her name, the fact that you are at least interested does qualify as evidence of Porn Love, which was what we are trying to define. Knowing her real name makes me feel more at home with the model, as a kind of virtual friend. It also makes her porn more real to me.
PORN LOVE IS . . . WANTING TO KNOW HER PORN PROJECTSThis post made me want to check out Sophie's Bellezza videos again, and in the Bellezza video forum at bellezzavideo.activeboard.com (need to be a free member to fully access) I just found out that they were supposed to shoot a fun scene between Sophie and Diane DeLuna, a scene that never materialized, for Bellezza Video Vol. 11, in 2008. That was interesting to know, if also disappointing. The forum posters had been quite excited about it.
PORN LOVE IS . . . KEEPING YOUR SEXUAL EXPERIENCES OF HER AT THE FANTASY LEVEL
Porn Love is also not trying to connect sexually with her beyond the fantasy connection you already have with her porn. If such a girl has a social media presence, you keep it at the social media level, but never try to hook up. That does not necessarily mean that trying to hook up is wrong. Some girls offer it, and some emphatically are against it. The point is you have gone beyond the idea of Porn.
PORN LOVE IS . . . PAYING HER A LITTLE EXTRA IF SHE OFFERS CUSTOMS
I have three Porn Loves with whom I have corresponded at OF. It is generally a mix of Sex Talk for Customs and General Talk about Other Topics we share an interest in. I find it quite rewarding to engage a model in this way.
PORN LOVE IS . . . NOT SENDING HER AN UNREQUESTED DICK PIC AT OF . . . Next . . .
Continuing with the idea of hook-ups, certainly the presence of Porn Love could lead to such a hook-up. But keeping things at a fantasy level might be better for those like me who have trouble with there being a high likelihood that she blows her perfect nose occasionally and isn't always in the mood. Sophie once was an escort for a time. She used another name I won't mention but is searchable.
PORN LOVE IS . . . A ONE-WAY STREET, AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE ON IT
When ebay still sold porn, I bought several slides of her Suze Randall shoot from 2004. Even if Sophie knew me, I doubt she would be interested in any of MY own personal slides of my life, unless she was assured that I WASN'T in the pictures! That said, it is possible to
feel that Porn Love is a two-way street, in the sense that you love her for her making you
feel loved by her.
PORN LOVE IS . . . DOING EXTENSIVE SEARCHES USING EACH OF HER PORN NAMES
You are keen on seeing everything she has done.
PORN LOVE IS . . . BEING A COLLECTOR OF HER COLLECTIBLESThis would include any DVDs, Blu-Rays, magazines, downloadable highest-quality pics and videos, slides, tapes, mp3's of her interviews, YouTube clips, etc. For her DVDs and perhaps Blu-Rays, a dedicated album to hold your collection of her discs would be useful, too. Sometimes I collect multiple copies of a favorite DVD. For Julie Robbins, I have tried to acquire two full sets of her DVDs. Note that DVD-Video quality, which remains the same over the years, generally was higher than web-scene quality up to about the year 2005, and thereafter the web scenes began to exceed the DVDs in quality. For example, the Bellezza scenes of Sophie Strauss from 2006 were filmed in HD at 720, but were available on Bellezza DVDs at 480.
PORN LOVE IS . . . UPSCALING HER VIDEOS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
This is especially useful for older videos, or simply any low-resolution video you may have of her. It really is possible to improve a 320x240 video to essentially DVD-quality, and beyond.
PORN LOVE IS . . . TRYING TO ACQUIRE A PERSONAL ITEM OF HERS IN AN UNOBTRUSIVE WAY
I once bought a $100 yellow dress from a popular model and asked her to add a bit of her favorite perfume to it. I have kept the item in a zip-lock bag, and at the time of this writing, "she" still smells great! This purchase was my idea, as I thought she looked great in her DogFart dress from 2020. I did not say to her, perhaps somewhat obtrusively, "I want your dress!" I said something like, "Would you be interested in selling that dress to me?" I of course did not know how much the dress might still be worth to her. I won't name names, but you might be able to create a short list of possible DF models with some research. I don't think this kind of thing needs to be as secret as the real name of a model. And she is a sweetheart.
A few months after I received the Sophie tape, I received an email stating that the same man who made the Sophie tape had also found the original knee socks she wore in 2005. He gave me "first dibs" on those. I bought the socks just for the personal souvenir. And yes, I tried them on to see if I would be energized back to the age of 18, which was how old she was then. I am not a panties collector, though. Socks seem safer!
PORN LOVE IS . . . NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY . . . BECAUSE IT IS A WIN-WIN!
