POLL: Scene Length

PostPosted: Sat Jun 04, 2022 2:37 pm

Recently I've found myself often discounting scenes simply for being too short for what they cost, which got me wondering how long most people like scenes to be. I'll bet there have been polls like this before but a very quick search didn't find one so here goes, in part with current pricing in mind.

Obviously I don't want scenes to be long just for the sake of it but where the sex is decent I generally like scenes in the 30-60 minute range.

Although mostly non-anal, Maximo Garcia's scenes are one example where the scenes look good but their length puts me off. There are 5 scenes with the wonderful Martina Smeraldi for example but they range from just 12 to 22 minutes long.

I choose the 30-60 mins option. Honestly more close to 60 min than 30, 45-60 would me my ideal duration, if is a little more longer, is welcome.

Here i expect mostly gangbang scenes with several guys fucking one girl and sometimes two girls or more.

This means a proper sex session: variety of positions, sex acts and a long duration of the sex time. The fact of have several guys in the scene, helps to that purpose. They can take turns and switching between them.

Even if is a 1on1 or 2on1 i expect at least 40 mins, if i count the reptutation of AV. Some years ago the scenes were a little more than 30 mins in the best of cases, and less than 30 in general in a lot of porn movies.

A long duration implies a hardcore factor too.

I chose >60 minutes but my preference for a typical scene 45-55 minutes, basic 4on1 to include all the favorite Anal, DP, DAP positions. But I do like the epic ones over an hour sometimes an hour 15 minutes. Like Basined or Blackened for example, need the extra time to include all the madness.

You picked the wrong option then :D .

I toyed with having 30-45 and 45-60 categories. I'd probably just lean to the latter of the two.

A fairly clear preference so far. I do wonder if a scene length filter might not be a simple way to help improve the clutter of the daily releases for many.

30-60 mins in length is definitely the right amount. For a particular LPAV scene, I think around the 50 minutes mark (give or take a few minutes) is the optimum.

There are of course occasions where for top or certain performers, you can easily exceed an hour and fans would still happily watch it all the way through e.g. Alexxa Vice in puke/vomit scenes etc.

Around the 50-60 minute mark is about right - longer than this and you might as well split it into two parts, as Giorgio often does.
Once you start getting under the 40 minute mark, I start feeling short-changed - under 30 minutes and you are really racing through the positions (especially as there could be an initial 10 minutes of tease/dildos/blowjobs).

XfreaX have improved a bit over the last couple of weeks, but they have some incredibly frustrating scenes like this which look hot, but I refuse to buy because of their length. For example, XF097 - a scene with three(!) girls - Rebecca Black, Brittany Bardot & Adeline Lafouine - fisting, squirting prolapses etc - the trailer looks incredible. This should be at least an hour long epic. But it's only 22 minutes long. Seriously - who can get a boner, rub one out and feel fully satistfied in only 22 minutes? That's the equivalent of a quick knee trembler round the back of the pub. At 60 minutes long, this scene would have been an instabuy for me. At 22 minutes - jog on.

Wow, you're right. That's ridiculously short for that sort of scene. Their scenes are usually longer though so I kind of think something may have gone wrong when trying to shoot that scene?

Voted for 30-60. Prob more in line with 25-40. But it depends on the kind of scene.

Is here's a 10 min part of a girl doing some dancing? Do they start right away? If you got a 20 min vid with into, blowjob, and everything there's not much left for the actual scene.

They have previous form on this - eg: XF079 Anna DeVille & Emily Pink (27 minutes), XF088 Stacy Bloom & Emily Pink (24 minutes), XF056 Ellen Million & Delila Dark (26 minutes), XF039 Francys Belle & Rebecca Black (26 minutes) - so I'm not convinced something went wrong behind the scenes.

XfreaX seems to have a lot of 'Behind the Scenes' content from Giorgio. I might be wrong, but my hunch is a lot of these shorter scenes are 'quickies' that they quickly pump out on set whilst various girls are present filming other full-length scenes, along with solo toy scenes etc. It just seems a bit of a waste with some of the talent.

Oh right, I didn't spot your other examples quickly. They have plenty of other non-BTS scenes that are longer so I thought this was ore atypical. I hope potential buyers spot that some scenes are short and don't get caught out by this and feel short-changed.

It does annoy me how we now get loads of BTS 'scenes' mixed in with main content actually, both because it gets in the way of the 'proper' scenes I actually want to see and also because really I think BTS footage should be free content with the relevant scenes. That said I've no idea how much demand there is for this sort of long BTS footage.

I'm going to give this poll a bump as to me sadly the issue with short scenes seems to be getting worse. Yummy's recent 14 minute scene with Belinha Baracho being a particularly frustrating example, but they've released other 1 on 1 scenes almost as short, and VK Studios scenes are now typically only about 25 minutes long :( . My response has been that I've not bought such scenes but it's starting to look like a worrying trend for my personal preference.

Scenes should be 50 minutes in length, as I have previously suggested.

Scenes that are 12-15(ish) minutes long only and still cost 3.6 tickets seem very overcosted for what they are.
