Homegrown Video letter to amateur porn producer
Dear R,
Moffitt forwarded me your email and I have taken a look at the scene we have purchased and added to our website. On the positive side, the couple is very attractive which is of course always a good thing in this business. On the negative side, our members are very particular and very vocal and despite the good looks, our members reviewed the scene very poorly. This is not due to the lighting, sound, or camera-work which are all fine in my opinion.
The reason for the bad reviews, and I agree with our members on this, is that the couple really don’t seem into each other and seem to be “going through the motions” and looking more forward to the end of the scene than anything else. They constantly seem to be looking at the camera person with that “are we done yet” and “can we move on and get this over with” type of expression that comes from people that either don’t want to be there at all, or not performing with the other person. They are having sex, but they seem completely bored with each other and with being in an amateur sex video.
Our company, which started in 1982 is literally the first company on the planet to distribute homemade amateur sex videos. Part of the charm of what made the company so successful, despite not having super models with fake breasts and all the stuff found in pro-porn, was that the people sending us their videos were genuinely having fun and having sex on a video was obviously a big turn on to them. This is the most important quality for us.
The only way to come close to getting this quality is to let the performers have fun sex. The cameraman/producer/director cannot interfere with action and has to make the performers feel as happy, and horny as possible so they can just let loose and enjoy themselves to the fullest. We don’t care if there is “three positions and a pop shot” like so many other companies expect. That starts to all look and feel the same and becomes plain uninteresting to porn fans like ours that have been there and done that.
Fun, uninhibited, real sex that flows naturally, without the performers trying to act like “porn stars” is what our members want and that is what we need. Viewers know and see the difference, and no matter how good looking the couple are, if they don’t look like they are enjoying themselves then our members will criticize us harshly. I know that your outfit is a respected content company but since you are a production company that means your goal is to get as many sales as possible and as many scenes as you can sell the better it is. Unfortunately, these results in an “assembly line” approach that means you lose a lot of the human interaction, true enjoyment, and sincere personality of the sexuality that is so important to us.
If we can overcome this one issue, then of course we will continue to do business. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out and your feedback is always welcome.
