does anyone else hate solo jerkoff vids?

[lyconthrope]

thanks for explaining lycothrope. but your complaints about straight porn are things i think gay porn lack. i like that most major straight porn studios have actors that are very vocal and the men seem into the sex and the sex is very aggressive like i think sex should be. major gay studios like falcon are just horrible as far as waxed and tanned princess models and mechanical sex. but i agree women do seem totally degraded in straight porn.

i'm glad i'm not the only solo jerkoff hater. i think it's purpose is mostly just to rip off customers. they pretend its a new video or an actual update.

not the best way i could have explained it but to do it properly would take like a half a page lol if you really wanna know you can always PM and ask quetions hehe

i agree that the major gay porn studios have similar model types, fairly quiet, preened, waxed pretty boys etc...but unfortunately it seems a case of "give the people what they want" however in defence of gay porn studios, there is a larger selection of categories! if you dont like the plucked jocks of the twinks then you can just find a site with guys over 35, or bears, leather men, daddies etc....(man i know too much about gay porn hehe)


where as straight porn (at least the stuff that i have encountered) seems to be all the same type of men largely un-attractive and much older than the women and, annoyingly, the same type of women - wailing plastic banshee's

the only straight porn i have seen with decent female participation (and attractive believable women) are playgirl productions, but as i dont find women in the least bit sexual attractive.....they are still in the way of the yummy naked men

as for the men in straight porn enjoying it more, well thats easy, they are straight and straight sex! hehe despite rumours i do believe that a lot of the men working in gay porn are in fact straight so can be forgiven to a small extent for not being as into as those in straight porn, doesnt mean they arent enjoying it, its just something differant they need to become accustomed too

I like solo vids of twinks or guys under 25. I perfer that they talk about themselves and say words , like "feels great" or something similar without using profanity instead of just moaning. I also like for them to give some parting comments, not just a dead screen after the squirt. I also agree with Seven S's comments. Why are guys so shy about showing a flacid penis?? I think they are sexy.

 

[sheiserFL]

In most of these videos, the guy starts playing with it before showing it so that it is stiff before I see it. I want to see it soft. I want to see him walking around with it soft. I want to see it from the front and the sides. Usually, all I see is a guy laying back jerking a stiff dick. I prefer seeing a soft dick. I want to see him do something unique, like wrapping it around his wrist four or five times. I can wish, can't I? Heh, heh, heh.

GREAT observation! I think that might make me watch solo vids! In general I don't. . . unless i have seen the model in action and like him a lot.

 

[sonny10305]

I like most of them, but only if the guy totally gets into it. To many of em just lie there like in some kind of coma, sooooo boring. I also hate when the dude cums and has no reaction at all, no moans o facial expession , I mean who does that?
Of course the worst is when there is no live sound but some awfull music instead. I gotta hear the guy, or I don't watch.

 

[didyoureally]

right, well then i guess im the only person in the universe that *loves* solos. i prefer them to sex vids. i like watching blowjobs, but as soon as couples start doing anal (which usualy starts around half way through) i get bored. every anal sex video looks the same.. there's that closeup camera angle that just about every studio uses. you cant see anything... just half a dick and an ass. i prefer to see solos because usually you can see the body and face. i prefer amateur porn to studio porn too, because i like "real" guys.

but to each his (or her - lycantrope) own!

 

[Soilwork]

well, I'll tell you.. What drew me to Fratmen was the beautiful photography, the artistic way it was put together and how John spends so much time showing off the guy's bodies. He coudln't do that if it was all about two guys having sex.

So I'm quite proud to work for what I think really is the best solo porn company going.

Watch this scene from Miles II.

The way he worked with the sun and the shade. We shot that early in the morning to get the orange sunlight in Southern California. It looked beautiful on his skin, the dark blue and the skin tone look amazing.. the way that it's as much about his body as it is about the cum shot.

Here's David's solo scene from Alumni Weekend 5: Australia.

We shot this in the afternoon after he'd been out playing in the surf all day... it's got that lazy summer day feel to it. We made sure it was done in a room that had glass on three sides. we had the sound of the surf in the background and he almost appears to be outside but there's still a very intimate feel to it.






Now.. I'll agree that videos with some guy sitting on a dirty couch and jacking off while watching porn sucks. Especially if there's some creepy guy off camera talking to him.. We dont' do that.

 

[minibw]

Yeah, I find solos pretty boring. It barely feels like sex, y'know?

 

[KarlBarry]

Well, I'd rather watch solo than see a cute hunky guy getting it off with an ugly old guy like jake cruise.

 

[juley]

I prefer solos, especially amateur ones like webcam or selfcam. I hate Corbin Fisher and that sort of thing in any guise as well as professional porn - American is worst of all.

The most annoying thing about sex videos, is that there's practically always the 'wrong' bottom. And, at any rate, I don't really care either for the gay-looking guys or muscle-guys.

 

[Yuki Sohma]

i cannot stand them. i know many people here visit sites like corbin fisher and sean cody where they have solo vids every week. i check them out to see what guys they will soon have in real action. but i am not turned on by someone by themselves even with toys. i think there should be action vids only.

not my favorite vids either

 

[Twinkspunker]

I've never met anyone who found solos tepid, let alone hot. I can't understand why there's so much out there, other than it's obviously dirt cheap to make. But does anyone watch it if there's a remotely more interesting alternative available (like watching some paint dry!)? I never buy a hardcore DVD if I know there's a solo scene in it - it just disipates the heat of the surrounding sex scenes (and I feel like I've been cheated if I stumble accross such material unannounced).

 

[PhunkSpunk]

Well there are solos and there are solos . . .

At their best, they bring out the voyeur in all of us. Sometimes, you just wanna see a stud have an intimate moment.

Soilwork and Fratmen appreciate this aspect of the solo video. There's no awkward, obligatory intro interview. Instead, the set up is that we've come across the model unawares -- it's like being a fly on the wall in a room alone with every hot jock you've wanted to see naked, much less hard. His self-gratification seems to 'arise' spontaneously, just like it does for every adolescent and young adult guy when he finds himself alone and with 'time on his hands' We are given ample time to appreciate his beauty and get to aroused along with him -- and ultimately rub one out, too. It's like a virtual circle jerk

As for the interview JO videos, it all depends on the model/interviewer interaction. I like Sean Cody as an interviewer, mainly because he seems like he's on the same level as most of his models. Of course it doesn't hurt to know that he's pretty damned hot himself

The early interviews with 'Zack' and 'Dylan' were very good, especially the ones where they played with toys afterwards. However, I think my all time favorite Cody solo was 'Mack', a precocious, smart-assed one shot wonder who turned the tables on SC on a few occasions during their interview and his subsequent JO. It was sexy as hell

There are a few Corbin Fisher solos that do not have the obligatory interview. These are his best. They include the Jeremy Lorys, Logan's simu-web cast, and Dawson's Toy. I also like solos where CF's not doing the interview: both Dawson and Logan are real fun to listen to. Logan's interview with 'Patrick' was especially hot: all the time you never lost a sense that he was about to jump in an join the fun

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Corbin Fisher's interviews (tho' they're no where near as pervy as Dink Flamigo's.) I guess it's the obvious age difference between him and his models that I find off-putting. Also, that 'happy place' line is getting kinda old. However, I suspect more mature patrons of the site actually like hearing him: they get to live vicariously through CF.

Dirt Cheap?

Dude... take a look at our stuff and tell me it looks dirt cheap.

We spend more on a single update than many companies do on two months movies. We flew a cast and crew of 7 people down to Australia (executive class) and stayed in two huge houses for 10 days to shoot one movie. Trust me, Fratmen isn't "dirt cheap."

Our videos are for people who appreciate bodies and dont' just wanna see a guy cum.

 

[gaz1978]

I cant stand them either.

 

[maxmillion]

solos are hot. you get to watch the guys stroke their cocks and it make u horny and want to do it with them! Randyblue has good solos!

Read my post above: the care you guys take with shot set ups, etc, is so apparent, without being 'obvious', and your production values may be the best in porn.

I, for one, get off on looking at hot guys. Whether or not they cum is a secondary consideration.

 

[Soilwork]

Love you.

thanks.

I know some people just use porn to get off and we're quite aware that even many of our members are the same.

But we really like the artistic side of what we're doing...

I mean, I DO jack off to our stuff a lot, but sometimes I find that I'm more blown away by the beauty of it all. (we're kinda like that with everything. I spent about 2 hours on the banner in my signature.)

I agree. I think you can hardly imagine anything as hot and sexy as a guy in slow and thorough mastubation entirely focussing on his pleasure and I think exactly as you they should show absolutely everything about it. The entire process. It's absolutely great.

 

[bulge]

hehe I always forget there are people who dont know that!

the main attraction in gay porn is the lack of women! they are so off-putting, they are usually plastic, covered in make up, shaved and plucked to within an inch of their lives and screeching like wounded seals.

gay porn seems more equal for both partners, there is no "me tarzan, you jane" mentality or a fight to prove dominance. And because one isnt some teeny tiny girl a lot more raw passion and power can be released without fear of harming your partner.

the men in gay porn are more attractive than in straight porn (i could be wrong but that how it looks to me) simply because men who watch straight porn dont want to see a guy who makes them feel inferior.





i think the reason for solo's is not only to introduce us to the new guy but to get them comfortable being naked and aroused in front of a camera and crew, once they are comfortable with that it is easier to persuade them to go further.

with sites like CF who have a gay and straight side, it seems that the guys who wish to seem the straightest do a solo on the gay side, and as a "reward" they are given a vid with a girl on the straight side.....then its just a suck, lick and a f**k to a bottoming on the gay side lol

I sometimes lend gay porn to a woman friend. I know she watches it with one of her woman friends. Sometimes we both like the same men, sometimes we don't. This is quite puzzling me. Sometimes she would never want to meet some very hairy very butch guys I consider as overhot.She tells me she is often disgusted by guys in real life because they all want to be the best or at least better than the next guy and never think about watching another guy with tenderness. She especially finds the tendency of guys to prove they are your real str8 male disgusting. She says gay porn works quite refreshingly in this respect.

 

[duffman83]

Nothing beats a good action video, but I thoroughly enjoy many solo videos as well. It's not an either/or proposition for me...both have their place.

What I like about solos is the the concentration on just one guy, and the loving attention that the camera pays to him. I think there's something to be said for that kind of singular focus.
