What I would like to happen to porn in 2011.

Seeing Pat's thread titled 'What will happen in porn in 2011' got me thinking off on a tangent.......Yes, again, I know, I know!

Well, I doubt it will but, this is what I would like to see happen in porn in 2011.

Whilst there are some websites that manage to do both photo & video material well, they are very much in the minority.
The skillsets for technicians, producers & models differ more than might at first be apparent.
I think those with limited resources need to specialise more rather than dissipate efforts & funds.

Those of you who have been around here a while know that I am not a video enthusiast & know nothing of that side, so I won't waffle on about that.
I still love photoset material.
That can be taken at any pace you like.

All of my porn viewing is via a widescreen monitor, as I suspect most average porn users would have.
I have no need of the super-resolution pics that have suddenly sprung out of the woodwork.
Sure you can crop out the bits you want, if you are that way inclined.
Personally, I don't have the time or the inclination to do that.
For screen viewing I can't see the point over going over 2 - 3000pixels

For me a photoset should tell a story, albeit a simple one.
There should be progression through the set, whatever it's chosen subject matter.
In my opinion, that story should be capable of being told in 100 photos.
What really cheezes me off is lazy photogs & editors that just upload the entire shoot. Dozen of this pose. Dozen that pose.
You end up with a whale of a zip, of which you actually want about 20%.
All or nothing zips, especially those without a choice of resolution, should be consigned to history.
For some sites, I have actually gone back to the 90s method of downloading one pic at a time.
More forward looking websites already provide user selected zips.
I would very much like for these to become the norm for the industry.
To those who would argue, harddrive space is cheap, I would agree, yes it is.
What I don't want is to have to wade through reams of downloaded stuff I don't like to look at, to cherry pick the photos I want.
I would much rather make that decision before I download.

In general terms I think more niche specialisation is needed.
Torrents, user uploads etc have mainstream pornography flooded.

Well, that's my opener for two pennorth.

What do you think?

Just a comment on zipfiles. I tried offering a choice of zipfiles for photosets, each offering a different resolution and less than 2% of users downloaded anything other than the maximum resolution. In the meantime it was taking more time for me to produce (and upload) and wasting loads of space on the server.

Oh and custom zipfiles are a nightmare - many users get confused so it increases the amount of customer support work greatly, and it's very heavy on the server.

I wholeheartedly agree with your comments on photosets telling a story and needing some selection by the webmaster (I spend a huge amount of time working on that). Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I really think it depends on the size of the zip.

There are some now in excess of 100Meg.

To my mind up to 100 photos & c.30Meg is a nice compromise.
You can get decent 'screen sized' photos with that.

Actually, some Hegre-Art sets are tipping 500Mb - 100 or so pictures at 8000+px. Bit extreme...

Agree completely! Picture sets - also videos, but perhaps pics more - are so much fun when there is some kind of narrative and/or context, as opposed to just a flawless girl in a studio or a glamorous location. That's why Petites Parisiennes worked so well for me - albeit perhaps relatively soft for some tastes.

I love those 600+ megabyte zipfiles of 21 megapixel images on some of those 21Sextury sites

I am not surprised that mostly everyone selects the maximum resolution. I know I would. Some sites that I have seen offer even three resolution choices.

I love custom zipfiles and I hope more sites offer them in the future. I was so disappointed that they are such a problem for your site and I presume other sites. I hope Basil at wearehairy is reading this and can comment. I felt it was a plus for his site.

I've offered the 2 size zips for a while now, 1280 or 2000 resolution, and the 2000 are a lot more popular.
We always edit our sets down to around 120 pics, when we get down to that it gets difficult to leave any out. GG sets can be hard to get down below 150 due to far more photo options/views.

A new site I've recently launched I've gone with an extra 3000 resolution size (as well as the 1280 and 2000) as I feel the photo quality is just so stunning at that size that I wanted to give the highest quality I could. Sets in this site are around 70-80 pics.

Making zips on the fly is too much of a burden on a server and could cause more bad feelings than it's worth if it failed to zip a selection of pics. Not sure I'd want the hassle of that.

Yes, you are at least making an effort at editing.

I'm intrigued, what is the new site you have launched?

I am a maximum resolution lover myself (not that size matters... ), if for no other reason than that the larger sizes allow you to see more detail, though I think they are also good for keeping your photo files a little longer as monitor sizes and resolutions evolve.

I do photo and video, hand edit each one. I do zips that are the size of the images, 1300x867. My selling point is video, both my sites are niche video fetish sites. User feedback is always a good thing. http://www.beautifulfeetonline.com

For 2011 I would love to see the following 8 people appear on Throat Fucks 4

Kasey Chase
Gracie Glam
Melonie Rios
Malorie Ray Murphy
Harmony Rose
Jamey Huxley
Tiffany Hopkins
Isabella Pacino

But I doubt this is in the cards - just what I'd like to see. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.

If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat!
