nice post and good advice.
a magazine editor once told me that the people buying their magazine were usually guys, with a shy personality and as a result somewhat lonely. to make up for this void in their lives, they buy pornographic magazines. these guys prefer girls who look sweet and natural, who makes eye contact with the viewer, and who smiles, the smile is the sign we are friends..
it was nice of the chief editor to inform me this little insight, the sets i send to him always have girls smiling in atleast half the photos.. and he always buys..
recently i heard from one of my porn (sex scenes video) clients that they are starting to see a trend where they want the guy's personality as much as possible out of the scene..the viewer doesnt want this distraction of a guy..
for this client i always shoot some positions with eye contact, otherwise he does not buy it..
so as much as we can agree that we dont like eye contact, perhaps "we" are not the "target audience" for the market..
