Can The Porn Business Change?
Being in my mid-forties now I can look back on 30+ years of porn and can honestly say I've seen it change from good to bad to worse to OMG please stop treating those girls that way.
But as I look forward further into this century I wonder: can porn really change? "Adapt Or Die" is an often-used phrase and I understand its' context when it comes to business models. But how about actual models? As in, can performers themselves (and thus performances) change?
Porn seems stuck in 2005 mode. I've written extensively on my distaste for what I term "filmed consensual rape" where the girls are slapped, gagged, basically abused mercilessly and expected to LOVE IT! This type of porn is everywhere and therefore it's the "niche"-type sites that many are turning to for both variety and a sense of reality (or purer fantasy). So why don't the larger porn companies change the way they shoot porn?
Everyone seems to be complaining about declining sales in the porn business yet I see so many established "players" continuing to film the same old shit over and over ad nauseum...
As I said above, I've seen porn change over the decades but now porn seems "stuck" in one extreme, nasty mode all the while bitching about how things aren't like 2005 anymore. Maybe they should film like it's 2012 and reflect today's values and tastes in sex. Then maybe today's surfers and audiences would connect more with the adult performances and see what they either experience in their own lives or would like to experience.
Crazy thoughts, I know.
