Can only South American productions save AVLP now?

[dap-addict]

I bought 7 DAPs this Sunday morning.
And another 12 DAPs next 4 porn shopping days.
All were performed by Brasilian and Colombian girls locally.
I dont mind since I always liked exotic girls and in porn I really just want good DAP performances, but I do miss the 2020-22 mix with Slavic and Italian girls.

How do other porn users feel?

[dap-addict]

Btw, currently DAP fee is 4-5 times cheaper in São Paulo or Medellin than it is in Prague. Thats the main reason for that production shift.

Emy just turned 18yo and needs money: Her anal, DP or DAP fee allows her to puy the same daily needs a local Czech girl could puy in Prague, it's 100% fair. Still porn jobs are moved away from EU.

I am more on the darker side skinwise , but I like variety and also want to see regularly white/Euro gals ( blonde , redh , light brunette ).
Would be a pity if we don´t have enuff fair girls.

[xxxVIPERxxx]

I think South American studios are quite popular, and rightly so...their women are extremely attractive and perform well.

No one can save LPAV per se.
It is only LPAV themself who can do the basics right, in order to save itself.

For a start, getting all the scenes back eventually to their customers and fans would be a great start.

The account my wife uses, has about 650 scenes less than it used to.

[latina-girls-yes]

a majority of the scenes i've bought over the past four years or so have been lat-am girls. the girls are just so ridiculously hot. i love dark-eyed brunettes with that beautiful south american golden skin and those supertight bodies, and their attitude is different too. when lat-am girls commit to go heavy, they commit like they really mean it and enjoy the excitment, whereas i always have the impression that US/euro girls only ever go heavy with one hand on the handbrake and anxiety in ther eyes. maybe it's a cultural thing. lat-am girls just seem to enjoy their sex more.

a broad brush impression and exceptions will abound, but that's it in essence.

originally i bought the lat-am girls scenes for the czech studios because the early releases from the lat-am studios were considerably lacking in technical/production quality, but over the past couple of years yummy (especially) and the other lat-am studios have steadily upped their game to be able to go head-to-head with the euro studios on quality terms.

there are still rough spots. lancelot is a great performer but he uses an awful fish-eye lens effect which makes his scenes unwatchable for me. mambo frequently cut their scenes with moments of the girls chatting and taking a break (why? it totally breaks the flow). but generally they are there. not as crystal clear and polished as czech scenes, but enough to compete and win most of the time due to the quality of the models and the excitement of the performances.

as for this year, the only euro scenes i've bought were the two sophia burns scenes (gagsgirls and gangbang, both really out there performances i recoommend to all). other than that, all exclusively lat-am studios releases.

things change and it's now latin america's time to bathe in the xxx spotlight.

[latina-girls-yes]

btw and for what it's worth, imo the best euro studio out there atm is not any of the gonzo/sz/gio house studios, but AGO (angelogodshackoriginals).

girls who often shoot for the usual czech studios always seem to look hotter at AGO (makeup, costumes, so on) and the action is the kind of action i like, hard and heavy maledom and rough play, and with lots of gagging and fisting and far less piss than gio and others (which i generally find really boring and ruins the flow of the action). a total obssession with piss has really killed europorn. lat-am scenes at present are generally avoiding that non-porn dead end.

by way of a example, check out AGOs recent lucy mendez and emily pink's fisting pairing (two outstanding lat-am girls at the top of their game, a beautifully produced scene, and really heavy duty action). that's where euro production needs to be if it is to survive against lat-am studios, the focus being on creating really special one-off premium scenes, rather than trying to compete with the lat-am studios on a general day-to-day content basis.

As in Europe and USA most of these girls do it for the money.
Difference is their work ethic and their actress talent.
Colombian girls are known in Prague for their very hight work ethics, their just-do-it attitude. With Brasilian girls there are more problems in this regard. Key for sure is they need to feel they are treated and payed fair!

and why shouldn't they be? that shouldn't be too much to ask or expect of any decent employer

if you think about it (and unfortunately people with prejudices and uninformed ideas about xxx performers rarely do) these girls are performing an entertainment service at the global level. and just as with footballers, or pop stars or film stars, the best among them are known by name across the world for their work.
sadly the only thing that prevents them being paid and publicly celebrated as much as pop stars or film stars is the unfair stigma that still surrounds xxx content and performers in the so-called civilised societies (= hypocritical societies) they operate in

every night tens or hundreds of thousands (maybe even more) men around the world go to bed and wake up dreaming of lucy mendez, or daniela garcia or vivian lola, just as they once did as children obssessed with pop stars (and often in exactly the same all-consuming way children obssess over pop stars). and when their favourite performers release a new scene they are as thrilled as football fans are when their favourite footballer scores an important goal. men in new york, paris, rome, moscow, beijing, new delhi, globally

so we need to think of these women on that level. as global entertainers at the top of their game (for every girl that makes it, many thousands try and never get there, just as footballers or pop stars). they should be treated with the same respect as other global entertainers at the top of their game receive, and they should be renumerated to reflect that
and i think renumeration will rise, because as younger less inhibited generations replace older judgemental generations and the stigma around xxx production and consumption fades, the law of economies of scale will come into play to cover increased renumeration (eg. if paying xxx audiences double, treble etc, then individual performers can be paid much more while individual consumers don't need to pay any more)

also remember that like footballers and pop stars, the 'prime' career window for sex workers is far shorter than almost all other industries. five years or ten years at the very maximum. so it's fair that they should be paid double/triple etc what an office worker earns in a year, because that office worker will still be earning in twenty years (pay usually rising with experience), whereas for xxx performers earnings decline dramatically (or end) as they age (youth always comes with a big premium in this industry)

these girls are international stars to me and i'd like them to be treated as such with the respect and renumeration they deserve

[latina-girls-yes]

btw for those who are interested in knowing more about the problems within the sex industry in medellin colombia, this is an interesting recent report (10 mins) that looks into the drugging of clients going on there

Medellin: Inside the sex tourism capital of Colombia (Channel 4)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=B3exT9GyN3w

perhaps most importanly, while this focuses on the clients (the outsider visiting colombia perspective), be sure that for every foreign john seeking sex that gets drugged and robbed, a thousand colombian girls working in that industry get drugged, robbed and worse by clients/pimps/organised crime, and/or drawn (forced) into sex work under the influence of drugs or under the pressure of threats of violence against them and their families

watching this you realise immediately why colombain girls maintain such a serious and preofessional work ethic; because the price of failure in the industry they leave behind them is so high. it can even be life or death

so i recommend it to all who know nothing about the troubles in the sex industry in the country from which these wonderful girls come to us

While I generally agree as users and fans we cant ignore the financial problems new porn production face against all the all content already available. Therefore a fair payment is a fee the girls can buy a good decent living in their country of residence. Fee for one scene or better yet a fair number of scenes has to be motivating either for work at home or abroad. In Prague their porn sex acts are payed better than in Medellin or São Paulo, but usually studio payed travel fee has to be counted into that payment.


Btw, that sad and sick Channel 4 feature shows the motivation for hight porn work ethics. It makes me feel better what porn has to offer to these girls, it shows another face of liberation and self-empowerment by porn!
It also shows how important it is that porn studios offer enough work to the girls to pay good enough to stay in adult entertainment industry only!

[dap-addict]

Let me add that this tread is mainly about Lat-Am (LAM) porn productions.
Latina imports in order to lower Prague studio production are actually another theme. Just generally 2022/3 there was a shift in than heavy producing GIO studio from paying same base fees to all girls to a more fractioned approach based on import costs and local fees in country of origin. Needless to say these fees still have to be balanced and fair and thus motivating for the eventually imported girls.

Porn is an industry like any other industry based on labour cost optimizing by importing cheaper workers from other parts of the World. If on top they are more beautiful than local workers in porn thats a blessing!

This said, as mentioned in OP I personally still need Slavic and other non-Latina girls in my porn mix.

Porn is an industry like any other industry based on labour cost optimizing by importing cheaper workers from other parts of the World.

which means if they are in europe to shoot then their accodation costs for that period will increase dramatically. they *should be* renumerated within their fees for their accomodation costs at european prices, not renumerated for the accomodation part as if they were still living in latin america.

also don't forget that when they travel to europe to shoot they are almost certainly paying twice for accomodation, keeping up rent or mortgage on their accomodation at home, and paying for accomodation in europe at multiple times what they will be paying at home.

the blithe assumption that latina girls can be paid far less than european girls because 'labour' costs within their industry at home are lower' is a very treacherous one. in many respects the overheads they have to pay - travel 3,000 miles both ways, travel/health insurance to be sure they are covered against any 'injury' at work (this can include testing), 2x accomodation costs for the duration of their stay (one of those at crazy european rent prices - are dramatically higher than what a czech performer or one from a a neighbouring country has to pay to cover the costs of attending a shoot.

so i think you are right to mention the giorgio price scale changes as a potential factor for the rise in quantity and quality of latin american studios output since then.
while some performers may still have felt that coming to prague to shoot was still a decent deal for them under the new pay structure, i suspect many others will have felt it was no longer worth the effort and stress (organising the trip and all that entails, separation from family and friends) for the now minimal gains (compared to the old pay structure) and consequently decided to stay home and make themselves available for more shoots at home.

their may have been an element of 'shooting the goose that lays the golden egg' in giorgio's decision to alter fees for latin american performers as he did.

on the other hand, i think the rise in quanity and quality of home-produced content was an inevitability wwhatever giorgio and the czech studios did. the increased availability of cheap hardware and cheap/free video editing software, the inevitability of '(more) practice makes (more) perfect', many other factors.

whatever the reasons, all i can say is i am extraordinarily happy that latin american xxx is the irresisitible force it now is.

sorry, a section of my first paragraph got chopped. my above comment should start:

how does accomodation work? because the differece in accomodation costs between colmbia/brazil (be it renting a flat or residing at a hotel) are orders of magnitude lower in those countries.

I agree with latina-girls-yes The Colombians and Brazilians are so ridicolously hot, love making porn, money, travelling and it shows in the work. Tipping point was 2021 when Natasha Teen emerged and even starting send her girls to Prague. Whether it is Natasha Teen, Yummy or Mambo in Brazil, on South American girls flying to Europe to create incredible porn, this is where all my tickets go. And very recently only Yummy and Natasha Tee Films. I would agree to AGO has the best makeup, hair, video quality. I girl I like always looks 'improved' when they finally make it to Angelo's.

Kinda of slow summer for the "Medellin to Prague" Pipeline, maybe due to GIO stepping away but I think there's still meat left on that bone. Ashley Ross (new Colombian), Helen Star, Yessica Bunny are their now so we will see what develops. But yeah I get the idea that the Colombians are very professional, dependable, down to about anything so that repuation is well earned and increases the odds that Latinas will continue to dominate AVLP which is fine by me

Natasha's role as 'fairy godmother' (though she would probably hate that description because she is still young, beautiful and making great content of her own) behind the rise and rise of lat-am xxx is fine testimony to how things are changing in the industry (and in wider society).
women players now being able to operate at the top level of xxx production, rather than being performers only for companies owned an run by men.
and that she rose up through the ranks to her position paying her dues at every stage (from performer to director to producer), rather than just being some rich man's son on the west coast who sees some quick return in xxx. she's a role model for women to respect

and while she will propably have making a decent living and providing security for her family at the top of her list of motivations for doing what she is doing, another less visible (but extremely important) aspect of what she is doing through her production studios is offering young women in colombia (and environs) who want to get into 'sex work' in order to improve their own situations, a viable, safe (regulated) and profitable alternative to all other options open to them. no pimps, no threats, no violent johns, no organised crime knocking on your door, no 'disappearances', but contracts, regular work, respectful co-workers, and the opportunity (for the best) to move beyond lat-am xxx and into even more lucrative US/euro porn

what would have been the other options for young women looking to make good money from sex work in colombia c2020 before Natasha started doing what she has done? all far more risky (even deadly) and far less rewarding

and because Natasha took the risk and decided to invest the proceeds from her own career into starting her own studios (rather than just leaving it safe in the bank) and made it work, it smoothed the way for a whole industry has grown up around her

so while several other performers/producers have all played their part (Oscar etc) in my mind the crown will always belongs to Natasha - the true queen of latin-american xxx - for bringing us what we now have

IWhether it is Natasha Teen, Yummy or Mambo in Brazil, on South American girls flying to Europe to create incredible porn, this is where all my tickets go. And very recently only Yummy and Natasha Tee Films. I would agree to AGO has the best makeup, hair, video quality. I girl I like always looks 'improved' when they finally make it to Angelo's

i said somewhere here (maybe this thread or the poll) that most of my tickets this year so far have gone on yummy studios content (the appearance of Vivian Lola responsible for much of that), when i look at my consumption for just the last three months (so second half of year) i find that i'm buying far more NatashaTeen/Lancelot productions than Yummy, which is interesting and i hadn't realised until after i made that comment

most of this will due to Natasha/Lancelot finally getting their technical act together (which had been the studios achilles heels from the start). the scenes they are relasing at the moment are beautiful in 4k. the majority cleanly focused at all times, well lit (still som improvement possible their but a minor thing), and well directed and framed. as for getting the most beautiful and passionate models, that has never been a problem for the studios, but the presentation-styling of the models has also improved dramatically over the past year or so (Daniela Garcia looking like a supermodel in her last scenes)

alongside this while Yummy was my favourite studio at the beginning of the year, they have been getting wetter and wetter as the year has progressed, which may satisfy many on this forum (especially now Giorgio is moving from direction to production) but i don't much care for. it used to be a small section of the scene (middle or end), but now (as with Gio scenes) it's breaks every ten minutes for a piss break, which i find intrusive
i Yummy they would take more of their inspiration from AGO rather than Gio, and focus less on Gio style wet content, and more on AGO's rough-play and hard action style (and the premium styling of AGO's models, as already noted)

so it may yet prove to be the case that by the end of the year, content produced by Natasha/Lancelot will have made up the majority of my consumption

Kinda of slow summer for the "Medellin to Prague" Pipeline

my one 'problem' with the latin-american studios generally is their slooooooooooow release schedule. one scene released each week (if that) for each studio, which means scenes featuring my favourite models are regularly months rather than weeks apart
i suppose the euro studios with their rapid production rates and daily releases have spoiled me there and i should learn to be more patient. but especially for new models, it's really frustrating

my favourite new performer, Kati Loritzo (she's stunning, you must check her out), released her debut for Natasha/Lancelot three weeks ago. will her next scene be released a month after her debut? or two months? before christmas even? or ever?
whereas were she a new model debuting in euroland, her follow up would usually be two weeks maximum after her debut, and the next two weeks after that

so that's the only big change i would like to see within the lat-am inudustry at present

btw, i've seen your comments around the forum and you seem super-connected and informed on the industry over there, so i wanted to ask if you know of any latin-american specific xxx forums that work much like this one?
i speak a little spanish (no portuguese alas) but it's odd that the focal point for english language discussion of lat-am xxx content is not based on the continent itself, but 3,000 miles away in rainy europe

well this post was stupidly long, but sunday is the only day i get with free time enough to write in detail, so why not?

[justinwarren41]

No problem, I don't know of any other forums. the PB forum although seems to be losing steam overall but we are left with really hardcore fans that remain and we take it serious

I wouldn't say connected but I watch social media, when a new girls pops I snoop for her social media (like Breiny Zoe promoting her sister Lore Hot/Karen Sepulveda) and follow them when they have just a few followers. I was more connected a few years ago but that source(s) have gone away.

The Pipeline to Prague comes and goesin waves but what a wave right now! I know the original post was about South American productions saving AVLP but I do know that South American girls will in some shape or way. Today at Angelo Godshacks, looks at these 4! 2 Colombians and 2 Brazilians

Kyra Sex, Vivian Lola, Lucy Mendez, and Ashley Ross Boom

And how about after?

They are the perfect mixture of super hot sexy girls, awesome attitudes, and filthy minds. That's the perfect porn star

And yes the release schedule can frustrating, I think it is just that I'm impatient! I appreciate the discussion of course, thanks for all the replies. And Natasha was called "La Jefa" but I like Fairy Godmother (La Madrina) if anyone has seen Griselda on Netflix. That fits perfect! Love having a latina female former actress running her company! Later

These 4 in one scene could be epic! AGO is on a roll, picking up steam with a change of leadership at GIO's perhaps. And Ashley Ross is UNKNOWN, Can't wait

Accommodation is and always was free at GIO, so n/a.
Usually studio also pays travel costs.
Just base sex act fees changed.

[dap-addict]

And another 12 DAPs next 4 porn shopping days.
All were performed by Brasilian and Colombian girls locally.
I dont mind since I always liked exotic girls (...) but I do miss the 2020-22 mix with Slavic and Italian girls.

It's always great to come back here after an absence, ideally biz travel inflicted: Its more porn to check and more DAPs to pick from for shopping!
So today I bought 15 DAP scenes and my mix was much better than last OP time: I got to buy almost 40% Slavic-Italian-French, 2 Russian girls amongst them.

Still, 10 DAPs are performed by Latin American girls, including all much needed DAPbreakin's.

Ideally my mix would be about 50% LAM, 25% Slavic, 25% US-Italy-French white girls. And some beurettes, gipsy girls and Asian mixes!

[dap-addict]

how does accomodation work? because the differece in accomodation costs between colmbia/brazil (be it renting a flat or residing at a hotel) are orders of magnitude lower in those countries.

Accommodation is usually provided and payed for by the EU studios. It's also that case at EKS Bukarest. I just wanted to stress that.

Only at 1 studio in Prague I had girls ending up paying their own accommodation and also organizing it on their own. For a Russian friend this actually meant she had to invest up to 20% of her sex act fee into accommodation. But as far as I gather that studio has a model apt solution to offer meanwhile as well.

[dap-addict]

Ideally my mix would be about 50% LAM, 25% Slavic, 25% US-Italy-French white girls. And some beurettes, gipsy girls and Asian mixes!

Did some more porn shopping tonight. Bought 11 DAP and only 1 was by a Spanish girl, all the rest was LAM talent provided. The Spanish girl is a typical Latina, too.

[justinwarren41]

Brazilians, Colombians, Venezuelans Oh My!

[dap-addict]

Venezuela girls are actually a blessing because they are very beautiful and have lower rates that local Colombian or other host country girls.

thank you for the update and information dapaddict. i know nothing of the fine details of production so an interesting detail

well i hope it's accomodation fit for a star. these women work *really hard* when they shoot in CZ (as we all know and fully appreciate), so i don't think it's too much for them to ask that they be given decent and private accommodation where they can relax and recover in style after work

[xxxEVOxxx]

It does not really matter what passport, or nationality the female performer has...she could be South American, she could be European, she could be Asian...what matters is that they can perform well, are popular, etc.

I guess studios are looking to cut some costs, so if South American models have a lower base fee rate...then that is fine, as long as they can perform.

[justinwarren41]

On AGO"s site, this has to come Pornbox/AnalVids! Holy fuck!!

8on4! It is like a mini-Christmas scene!!

I doubt it will, most of them don't nowadays. If it does it won't be soon, probably six months or more if past scenes are anything to go by. I wouldn't mind if AGO's website wasn't so expensive. It's $1 for 1tkt over there, and this scene is priced at $34

[justinwarren41]

34 tickets? Damn, this does look epic though but that is a lot

Sounds like AGO is trying to branch out from AV/Pornbox I know he has said he's not happy with the puke fetish kinda taking over and he refused to shoot it. I've only been LP/AV since 2016 almost exclusively (many great scenes with Angelo as male talent and director by the way) so simpler to keep it that way. I'll have to ponder that one, maybe quick release to his site and then a delayed luanch on Pornbox? Best of both worlds for AGO Not sure man at that price

[dap-addict]

Thats indeed a bit of a problem since most EU studios just offer bunk beds in multiple rooms of 2-4 girls. Only real stars or girls creating problems in model apts, but still very much demanded get hotels payed usually.
This said most especially younger girls enjoy GIO or EKS model apts.

I managed to buy 4 DAP scenes performed by Western EU girls in my next 11 DAP shopping bunch!
So little LAM DAPs is bound to be an exception in my 2024/5 porn commodity shopping , though!

[Chimpy.677]

If you want a South American girl you can call Tabatha Lust, she is Argentine, she is very pretty and has a very good attitude.

[dap-addict]

Good call!
However, Tabatha Lust is with Nikkis and they ask too high fees for LAM talent.

Funny thing is I was just in Argentina for my own project and I think it's a future porn destination actually because very fair prices for the girls are very good compared to EU.

[jjwhite1985]

Damn she's a fucking stunner!

[dap-addict]

Real stunner indeed, but besides being expensive Tabatha Lust isnt really up to anal yet.

[jzabel19571964]

In reference to the original topic this seems unlikely given the fact that Natasha Teen and Lancelot Styles are barely releasing any scenes anymore. No new scenes from Natasha Teen for 10 days and not a decent gangbang for over a month. Very concerning trend.

[dap-addict]

NTP had always its release breaks.
But maybe maybe South American productions for some time is reduced to Brasil productions - until Argentina is set up as new porn destination.

[latina-girls-yes]

In reference to the original topic this seems unlikely given the fact that Natasha Teen and Lancelot Styles are barely releasing any scenes anymore. No new scenes from Natasha Teen for 10 days and not a decent gangbang for over a month. Very concerning trend.

i don't buy this 'problem (or 'crisis') at NatashaTeensFilms' narrative at all (though everyone is entitled to have their own opinion), and i think it has taken root as a talking point here for two basic reasons

1. people are frustrated by the rapid decline of AVLP and are (unfairly) expecting the latin-american studios to step up production to fill that gap for them. and, on realising that the latin-america studios just don't generally release at the same manic volumes as the euro studios once did, people are talking up a crisis in production that simply doesn't exist

2. people are overlooking or underestimating (not the commenter above but several commenters in the ntf studio thread, who are talking of a 'crisis' there) that ntf and lancelot are effectively now releasing together the equivalent volumes of scenes to what ntf alone released until last summer. so effectively one studio two brands

when viewed as such, if you compare data for this summer (july-september) and last, it's clear that output for the two studios combined has actually increased year-on-year by around 20%

see:

july 2024
natashateens 12 scenes
lancelot styles 11 scenes
total: 23 scenes

july 2023
natashateens 6 scenes
lancelot styles 0 scenes
total: 6 scenes

august 2024
natashateens 9 scenes
lancelot styles 8 scenes
total: 17 scenes

august 2023
natashateens 11 scenes for august 2023
lancelot styles 3 scenes for august 2023
total: 14 scenes

september 2024
natashateens 7 scenes
lancelot styles 7 scenes
total: 14 scenes

september 2023
natashateens 23 scenes
lancelot styles 3 scenes
total: 26 scenes

natashateens & lancelot styles = 54 scenes summer, july to september 2024
natashateens & lancelot styles = 46 scenes summer , uly to september) 2023

yes, the number of releases may ebb and flow from month to month (eg. september 2024 quieter than 2023, july/august 2024 busier than july/august 2023), but the year-on-year trend is an increase in releases

and (if increased production alone were not enough), the quality of releases has also increased dramatically over that same time period (in my view, others may feel differently)
the direction is stronger and more coherent, the image quality clearer and cleaner, the girls styled more professionally, the sets have become more organised/consistent and less adhoc, and the lighting choices better thought out (more use of fill lighting to brighten up shadows)

so what 'crisis'??

by all means, be as frustrated as you like about euro production grinding to a halt (if i relied on euro output for the majority of my purchased scenes i would also feel super pissed off). but also beware of projecting that real 'crisis' onto other parties whose fault it isn't, and who are delivering more and better content than ever
