Hardcore porn almost gone from single-girl sites?

A question discussed on a BBW board these days. An interesting one, of course. Now, when you look at the sites currently advertising the answer must be 'yes'. There's a huge number of established sites with a strictly non-pink policy. And also a bigger number of sites that do show pink and dildoing, with very few of them including (occasional) boy/girl action. But only very rarely a site with a strong focus on hardcore is entering the scene, usually without getting much attention.

Is there really now no market for this? Well, nothing should be impossible LOL Agreed, there are a few sites around that seem to be making their bucks... But how many of them are a BIG SUCCESS?? It's true, i'm only guessing here - not many girls are giving me exact figures lol - hell, i wouldn't either. Finally though, when you check who's the talk of the town, or better of the boards, you hardly find hardcore-centric sites mentioned. Apparently it's not an easy task to establish a successful solo-girl site featuring mainly hardcore content.

The only example coming to my mind would be Samantha Anderson. Who, then, might be a different story again cause she managed to become a big name as a hardcore girl on the mainstream market first and only later started her own site. Moreover, with her host of guest girls Samantha is almost running a multi-gal site featuring herself as the main attraction. Indeed a particular case.

Now, has the situation really changed? One girl supported that idea. She said that back in those days when she started (around 2000) almost every girl had a good deal of hardcore on her site. Most of them have retired now while the newer wave of girls don't do that anymore. Is the market for single-girl sites doing hardcore just orphaned? Or is it really that difficult to score with that?

Another fact: when you check huge adult content vendors like CD Universe for BBW content, nearly all releases are hardcore porn. So the demand must be there. But only for mainstream/multi-girl products. What's the reason for such a striking discrepancy?

Here comes my theory: Hardcore fans are not that much affectionate or loyal to a particular girl. They mainly go for the action - and a girl that just looks 'good enough' is fine for them usually. That's why they go for the mainstream market with its galore of different girls and aren't interested in the more multi-faceted experience solo (amateur) girl sites have to offer, at least not to the extent that they would spend money on such sites.

Softcore fans OTOH are more addicted to the peculiar charms, the details of the attraction and beauty of their favorite girl(s), to all that what makes her special, to all these facets that become secondary in hardcore content due to the different focus, like different camera angles (closeups), males becoming a dominant part etc etc. Furthermore, here i am just repeating what models (who did their research) have told me: Alot of single-girl site customers are fantasizing 'their' model as their imaginary girlfriend. And seeing another man doing her means a turn off for them. More aspects could be added but those should do for my theory.

So i'm saying it's a different focus that is separating hardcore (mainstream) and softcore (single-girl site) customers, making it very difficult for a hardcore solo-girl site to become equally successful as a softcore single-girl site.

Also: for a hardcore single-girl site it will always be extremely hard to keep things 'fresh', entertaining and non-repetitive - in that respect it is in direct competition with the mainstream products with all the options there. I'm afraid to say here that most customers usually will cancel their membership after a month and shop for DVDs/mainstream porn sites etc till they eventually will buy another membership, after a year or so. Very tough business. A softcore and/or pinup-centric solo-girl site only competes with the sites of the same league - a way more easier challenge as long as the model is attractive for customers and has the technical means to bring her qualities across in her photos and videos.

The Distinction.

Most FUNDAMENTAL... and the porn industry should take it into consideration

Instead of an introduction: When you are a model, a pornstar or a person creating adult content and you are predominantly just doing the stuff you like most anyway - with only marginal second thoughts about your potential markets and audiences - then my lil article might not talk to you. Also when you feel entirely happy about your success in the industry you might not want to waste your time on my ramblings. All power to you !

So what's my deal here?.. Simple as that: I want to spend $$$ on BBW DVDs or videos but there's hardly any content available that is hot enough for me to watch it more than once. Yep, i'm very unhappy regarding the situation of BBW porn (videos)- both mainstream and amateur porn.

My perspective may appear kinda peculiar... but actually is so only in a quantitative aspect - as i might have spent more time on looking for BBW content than most other people. Not that i would be proud of that or something along those lines. But i'd guess i had a look on nearly every bigger gal that ever appeared on the scene, be it just through samples or more thoroughly. And so i can say in all honesty: hardly any of the released content gets me started.

To make that clear: That's NOT because of the domination of hardcore content in the videos. I've seen harddcore scenes that were presented in a way so that i went Wow ! Blazing hot !!

So: My dissatisfaction is all about the presentation... or better the perspective these videos are shot from.

Hardcore flicks follow extremely rigidly one standard pattern: Apart from a little playing with the girl's boobies at the beginning the entire footage usually is cock-oriented. We see blowjobs, anal, missionary etc etc and in the end the money shot plus its effect, the girl's messy face. And the camera predominantly would follow these actions of the cock, often in exhaustive detail by providing tons of closeups. Some movies must have way over 50% of closeups featuring a male's cock as the main actor.

I might say i could care less. First i'm not gay. And secondly girls i have sex with usually seem to be pleased with what i got to offer... But the deal also is: No content for me to buy on the market...

But why are nearly all flicks following this rigid, cock-centric and closeup-happy perspective? Hard to tell... Without a doubt there's a huge group of guys out there who want to see exactly this kind of cock-centric staging. Eventually this group 1) is most vocal. Also 2) most congruent in its preferences. And finally 3) Hardcore movies were always shot that way... nuff said.

Aha, i hear you say, what's your preference now? Very simple answer: I wonna see the sexy BBW in her curvy glory. I want to see her move, jiggle, change postitions and stage a galore of views and angles of her hotness. I don't mind whether that would be hardcore, softcore, BDSM, lez, solo or you know what. As long as she shows off the sexy herself, with her boobies, her belly, her booty, her thighs, her face.... or whichever focus she feels would render her most erotic and mindblowing. And as long as NOT any random guys and, their random bodies and cocks would block the view on that girl... and that way effectively render her as random too - as just as an opportunity fot the cock to unfold HIS ways.

So, finally, here's the fundamental distinction, the one that really matters. And that separates the porn audience in two very different groups:

Group A) absolutely wants to see THE ACTION. Like HOW dick is sucked, HOW anal is done etc etc. And HOW the result of the action, the cumshot, is accomplished
. DPs and gangbangs may count as EXPANSIONS of the more everyday-like 2-some intercourse and work as additional kick within the fantasies about the action.

Group B) gets its kicks by watching a curvy girl in motion. By getting as many and as great as possible views of her best assets and her different ways of staging them. They want maximum exposure of the girl. And the kind of action coming with this exposure (hardcore, showering, stripping/teasing, eating etc etc) is only of secondary interest.

I'm pretty sure that Group B) will be catered better.... sooner or later. I've seen tons of discussions recently and so this became clear: Group B) is way bigger than the porn industry would make us believe.
