also I happen to have some time to kill today, this wasnt some big agenda for me lol I just thought it might be fun to write.
Where are we?
I will start by saying that LP still represents the best producers of porn in its frequency and quality. So lets just lock that down. It should also be said that its obvious that porn is always highly subjective, whats right for one is not right for everyone. I think its important to say this before launching a breakdown so that people realise a studio/s will always change over time and experiment. Some people will hate changes others will love it.
2016 has been a pretty interesting year for LP but I also feel like there are some critical changes I feel would benefit. Mainly because as someone who used to be pretty much foaming at the mouth to use my tickets for scenes from LP now I find those tickets stacking up month on month, and I browse through the many scenes cherry picking the ones that suit me. Do I expect LP as a collective production to listen to one persons opinion?
No obviously not. All I can do though is voice my opinion as a long time customer. When it comes to tickets I am not the only one who I see voicing the feeling that something has changed and its just not quite on point at the moment.
I guess the obvious question is: Has the quality of production in LP dropped in 2016? The answer is clearly no, and that is perhaps what is most frustrating. It's very difficult to pinpoint what it is that feels different now, the scenes are still very hardcore, the girls are still amazing but there are some subtle differences that do seem to become more common over time, and I think that in porn for all of its raw visual appeal and often brutal physical appetites its the the subtle changes which effect the quality of the content the most. The things which dont seem that important but ultimately are.
Changes we've seen in 2016
So what are the changes we have seen? I will list these in bullet points then talk a little on them.
- Longer scene intros
- No more / or rare Milk-Kreme scenes
- We see Less teen models – or 22+ girls labelled as teens
- Tipping
- Sidesaddle
- DAP/TAP
- Rare A2P
- Less DP
- Sloppy A2M
- Male smothering
- Loss of Core models
Changes I hope to see in 2017
Shorter Scene Intros
If you look back to the so called 'golden age' of LP/Sineplex very often the girls would walk in, kiss, contact each other and then straight into assplay with one another, then maybe 3-5 mins later the scene would begin. Now some of the intros can be 10-15 minutes long, and often not all that interesting. She does a slow strip, she plays a bit etc its boring and tedious. Now some people of course may find this appealing and also its not the biggest issue you can simply skip forward, but it highlights one of those small changes to scenes which mark a difference from how raw LP/SP used to be to how it is now.
This need not necessarily be bad though, take some of the intros from Giorgio's content, where the girl starts enjoying herself a bit, but this is then taken over by the camera/director in a pov toy session before the main scene. This is far more interesting, similarly 2 girls always better than one.
I guess what im saying is that previously it was more about the action, but now it seems that its very much about providing an overall package of content, and that can be positive or negative depending on your POV. Perhaps if its a single girl scene though that intro should be cut down or at least get her some help quicker.
More - Milk-Kreme scenes
Who doesn't like seeing a fountain of kreme spewing from a girls gaping asshole? Exactly. It's a great shame these scenes have been reduced or stopped completely now, I personally never saw a great explanation for this. Maybe it was something technical, maybe models dont want to do it, maybe it was a style choice I don't know. What I do know is that these formed an epic period for LP which gave some of the best scenes on here, when Kreme scenes were a thing they were a MUST have. It also gave a genuine variety between scenes and you could even say allowed the non-kreme scenes to shine more.
For whatever reason its a shame that we wont see scenes like this often if at all:
Hennessy + Sandra - http://www.legalporno.com/watch/27928/c ... _ass_sz388
Nikita Belucci + Katie Gold - http://www.legalporno.com/watch/26607/n ... porno_sz35

More teen models | Less 22yo+ girls labelled as teens
Ok so I think anyone who watches hardcore porn knows that teen models fucking extremely hard is just about the hottest thing. We know this. LP/SP used to have a huge selection of teen girls performing in all variety of scenes. This really seems to have decreased greatly. Yes we do have new talent coming through here and there but it is definitely in the minority of scenes, and there really is a difference in the scenes for that reason. Its also just very annoying when a scene is labelled Teens X and Y do blah blah - when you are thinking... no.. they are not ive watched these models in countless scenes for years.
I have talked about this specific issue many times, I think it would be extremely strong for LP to have a series which focused on providing the content it already does but with a teen theme. EvilAngel seems to have no issue finding girls in the 18-19 bracket who can perform balls deep penetration for good scene length. Also studios like First Anal Quest also the same deal, and historically it never was a problem especially for an Eastern Europe focused studio like LP/SP? so what the hell is going on?
Don't get me wrong we do have some great models like:
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3218/crystal_greenvelle
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3252/luna_rival
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3281/may_thai
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3293/nicole_love
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3329/anna_de_ville
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3290/rebecca_volpetti
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3331/allen_benz
http://www.legalporno.com/model/3339/tyna
As I have said many times, one of the best series I ever saw was University Gangbang specifically 1-6 this featured no holds barred hardcore fucking, no time wasting with intros just teen girls (mostly pretty sure not all were 19-19) being gangbanged with lots of DP, A2M, A2P, gaping, balls deep fucking the whole thing. Also as I said seeing things like First Anal Quest or TryTeens these series focused on hard anal fucking with teens.
If you go back through LP/SP we see that this has declined over time and perhaps its because of the type of content LP is putting out now I dont know, but it just seems that its become less regular and that is really frustrating, the girls that we do have making scenes for LP as I listed above do so not frequently at all, and this is the frustrating thing. If we were seeing these models producing content regularly amid all the other stuff it would be just fine, but that is not the case at all and I personally feel its frustrating and weakens the content of LP as a studio.
Less Tipping
Ugh dreaded tipping. This has become one of the most irritating things of the past year, and I think its directly because of this new focus on DAP. I think that LP decided that they needed to DAP to differentiate themselves from other producers and thats just fine. When a scene though starts to focus on DAP for a long % of a scene or even worse when the model clearly cannot take a DAP with any sort of depth it just becomes a boring sausage fest. Watching 2 guys slapping their cocks together is not very appealing in fact its flat out boring. If the model can take a DAP then of course do it throw that in the scene switch it up its great, but god enough enough already with the DAP tipping its so incredibly annoying. All you are thinking is please stop and get on with it.
Its not limited to DAP of course either we have seen an absolute increase in tipping in a lot of scenes instead of much deeper or balls deep penetration, again I recommend you visit some of the older LP or SP scenes and you will see exactly what I mean. Again I cannot explain why this is now a thing, I would have thought it would be an absolute requirement if you were going to do a scene for LP that you be able to actually handle what is involved. A huge amount of customers on LP have spoken about this I very much beg XXX and others to please ensure this happens as little as possible in 2017.
More Sidesaddle Assfucking
I love this position its epic, where the girl sits sideways to the guys lap as she is assfucked its very hot but again one of those positions which is used very infrequently. Go back to scenes with Tina Hot, and Jessica Swan and you see it much more. So not much else to say. This. More.
Less - DAP/TAP
I spoke about this above already, but short version - I know that LP wants to throw some differences in the scenes and that is of course great. Please though for gods sake make sure the models can actually take the DAP in some sense otherwise its a total waste of time. I don't know about others but I would rather see a model having a deep anal penetration with a big gape 100 times more than a DAP or TAP where the guys can barely do anything and just sort of sandwich themselves around, its weird and boring to watch.
More A2P and Keep DP
Another style we see less if any of is A2P or Ass to Pussy for those of you who are clueless. I talked about this before again with a mixed reaction, some people suggested this was toned back a lot for health reasons but after I did some reading I found very little evidence for that. Its understandable of course from that pov but I think generally I find a hard time to think its any more dangerous healthwise than A2M and there is certainly no reduction in that.
A2P is an amazing element to put into a scene, seeing the model have a cock pulled out of here gaping ass only to be pushed straight into her pussy and see her ass squashed is absolutely awesome, oftentimes you would then also have another guy come in and fuck her ass and change it to a DP. These moments in scenes were amazing but we see it less and less now, a great loss.
More DP. There have been endless polls and discussion around it, here is the deal for me.
Yes its great to have some scenes focus just on anal, yes we shouldnt have many scenes where we over focus on one thing. DP though should be included as much as possible because it is just very hot - its true of course that the mainstream sites always will have this but LP should be able to differentiate from those sites in other ways such as model quality - scene variety - quality directing and so on. Excluding DP just to stand apart from other sites seems completely stupid to me. A model being DPed with deep penetration is always excellent especially if she is being stretched hard and riding cowgirl. We should see it more commonly in scenes and make use of the great talent pushed to the limit.
More Sloppy A2M
I am just going to copy my previous post from last year about this because the issue of seeing less A2M especially very sloppy mouth fucking continues. XXX said he would remind directors about this at the time, not sure that had any impact. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=9384
I think ive mentioned this before in some ideas but I really would like to see more regular ATM, it used to be a key feature in the older sineplex scenes years ago which I thankfully still have on dvd. It does make an apperance in current scenes but its often about 10% whereas it used to be more like 30-40% of the scene.
We are talking one girl with her head on the others round ass, waiting patiently as the other girl is getting fucked deep in the ass. Then he swaps to give the waiting girl some sloppy mouth fucking, then back to the other girl so on. Sometimes the girl giving oral is also getting fucked herself at the same time but she continues giving outstanding messy oral deep throating spitting saliva dripping out of her mouth.
This could potentially even be a whole new series focused specifically on this?
Less Male smothering
Something new that I have seen others talk about, I dont think its a huge problem personally but worth mentioning because we do not want this to become something regular in 2017. Basically again because of the continual focus on DAP and some of the larger gangbangs there often is an issue where you can barely see the girl underneath all of the guys in the scene. Obviously not a great thing.
I think this comes back to what I was saying about focusing on producing content that stands out but for the wrong reasons, namely that it sounds good on paper, but in reality when you have so many people its going to be hard to see things.
This need not be bad overall again, it just will mean that maybe those scenes need to be looked at differently having a second girl in the mix always helps dilute the numbers back a bit if necessary and allows of course from some great cross overs and A2M A2A etc.
- This scene has a great position and you still see everything - granted its a 3 on 1 but we should keep the shots clear for viewers
Establish Core models
Lastly an issue thats been spoken about before again. In the last year for one reason or another (and this is always going to happen) we have seen a loss of core talent, many great performers are gone and it often feels a bit of a mixed bag of newbies and seasoned talent in the LP scenes. This is one of those things that sounds great on paper but in reality... meh. What we need is a really great core of models for LP, a blend of the perfect age ranges 18-25 and who can peform with enthusiasm, hardcore skills, fun and be extremely filthy of course.
The likes of Luna Rival and Kira Thorn. Kira has only done a couple of scenes? WHY! she should be doing 2 a week! Luna has only done seven scenes in the whole of 2017 just seven! the last was Sep 13 and its now November! wtf is going on here?
Kira: http://www.legalporno.com/watch/31687/g ... ion_sz1509
Luna: http://www.legalporno.com/watch/30937/t ... _dp_sz1224
This should be a huge priority for 2017 - to find a core group of models who can produce regular intense scenes with as many of the elements listed above included. They could even be announced as the core models for LP in a one time 90 minute orgy scene with Kreme Sloppy A2M Balls deep fucking and all the rest? Tell me with a straight face people wouldnt buy that up in an instant.
2017 +
So 2017 is near, I hope that we will see some changes coming to LP that will retain all the reasons we are still here such as: Production quality, regular releases, hard fucking action, innovation, awesome talent.
I do ask though that XXX and other directors consider the aspects of their scenes that enabled LP to get to where it is. While the content does continue to be amazing it feels very much as if we have moved sideways from where we were and I hope that we can just steer back on course to producing in my opinion the best porn available anywhere.
Cheers and to 2017!
Its worth checking back to the classic scenes http://www.legalporno.com/watch/361/dou ... creenshots
