Does anyone else share the weird niche of looking for porn locations? This topic was raised on another forum and I was surprised that someone else actually shared the interest. That thread has mostly been hijacked by a discussion about one particular house thats been used for a lot of porn shoots. The niche is that of using identifying features in outdoor scenes (or the parts that are outdoors) to figure out where the scene was shot. For me, it started innocently enough with a membership to Teasers VOD, which is likely the best American public nudity site on the internet. (Sadly, no longer updating.) Many of the shoots have some really daring public nudity on the streets around West Hollywood and with one shoot in particular I was just curious about just how daring and public the scene really was so I noted a couple of business names, Googled those and got an address that I used in Street View. And I had my answer as to just how public that scene was. And then I got hooked. I started, but still havent finished, going through all of my favorite Teasers scenes to find the locations. I also started doing that for other scenes that have some outdoor element with identifiable features. Last week I downloaded scenes from the new site EroticaX and one of them had some intro scenes shot on a rooftop balcony and helipad. So I noticed a few identifying features on surrounding buildings and eventually discovered that the scene was shot at Renaissance Tower in Los Angeles. According to their website they rent apartments for movie productions. Some of it looks a lot like the apartment with the newer scenes on Casting Couch X too, but I havent investigated that further. So does anyone else here share this admittedly weird niche of the porn hobby? And yes, Im aware that most people will find this a bit odd  | |

It doesn't sound that weird, especially when you watch a lot of content from the same site or studio. The Kink.com sites mostly shoot in and around the San Francisco Armory (tours available!  ), and certain sets become quite familiar after only a couple of scenes. Didn't think a place like the Renaissance Tower would allow an adult shoot. Tons of places in Los Angeles have signs up to rent for filming, though generally not porn. A film crew can easily wreck almost any location in which they shoot...but rarely with jizz, pussy juice, or Santorum.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think that since this interest started with public nudity shoots that seems to be where it has remained. I'm a big fan of a lot of Kink's stuff, including Public Disgrace, but as you know, most of the American scenes are shot indoors where things can be more controlled. That takes away some of the allure for me. I agree with your comment about the Renaissance Tower. I assumed that maybe someone in the biz rented them the location, but a look at the building's website shows that they do rent to film companies. And it isn't even like the producers could lie, because the fact that you have a naked woman out on the helipad just might be a tip-off that this isn't a Hollywood blockbuster. But maybe the allure of cash won out for the building owners. I have to admit that it's an inventive way for the building to generate some revenue from vacant apartments. And thanks for saying that this isn't too weird a niche. I suspect that it would only become weird if I started buying porn for the purpose of locating where it was shot. | |

I've never been interested in that type of inquiry but that doesn't mean that I won't from time to time recognize a specific location but all of those belong to gonzo porn so it's probably the producers house. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm sure their are weirder/funnier reasons for paying for porn. Such as, in the hilarious words of Lewis Black on looking for pictures of Janet Jackson's tit: "It's research! It's research!"  I probably started thinking about this years ago looking at ALS Scan photos (before wasting the years away on video...) and how they shoot mostly in or around Maryland and they're usually at suburban homes, generally of the McMansion variety. Do the owners--or their spouses?!--really know what they do during a shoot? Of course if it was me I would let them shoot there for free (with a complimentary lifetime membership, of course) and insist that the model/All Shaven Lady pees all over my deck or bathroom.  Granted, it's probably thoughts like that that keep me from owning a house in the first place, but a man can dream! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I wonder if you could ever be such a huge fan of a site that you start spamming them with constant requests to shoot at your house. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
