Pretty sure it is, depending on your definition. But that tends to suck, too, so…
Actually, in my case, the specifics don’t even matter that much. There doesn’t have to be a goat involved, and if there is one, it doesn’t necessarily have to be wearing a tutu. It’s not really about that. And I don’t think I’m super visually wired, either, necessarily. I once watched a two hour feature, and only later realized that it was super softcore, with hardly even a pube showing. Pretty good story, though.
Although, that’s hardly optimal either. And if I’m looking for zero pubes and a good story, I can just watch regular TV. They even have nipples on there these days, or so they tell me. But if we’re talking about actual adult entertainment…
Ideally, I want an erotically charged psychodrama. Sex is mostly in the mind, after all. There needs to be some tension. Some charge. Maybe some conversation. Some lingering touches. Maybe watching some paint dry. But there should still be some action, to release the tension. I don’t want to be left on a hanging cadence, that’s no fun either. So, I want three acts, as it were. Theme, development, closure.
Now, concerning the aforementioned algorithm. Let’s be optimistic, and assume that my search isn’t a total crapshoot. I have made some notes in this regard. For starters, I’ve noticed that any porno only has a limited number of fucks to give in the imagination and entertainment value department, before it reverts to a state of SP (standard porno). SP is six different positions and a giant glass dildo. And, yes, this is also the title of my Opus 12, in E minor, for wind chimes and glass dildo. Don’t ask.
SP, as far as I can surmise, is the state in which a pornographic performer has a resting heart rate, and no particular emotional involvement in the current situation. I’m not sure how this works when such a performer is off-duty. I’m picturing some odd situations in elevators and at family gatherings. But anyway.
Of course, a lot of the time, pornos turn up without any fucks to give whatsoever. In those cases, I don’t know where the fucks went. They were probably spent at the lunch meeting. Sometimes, though, there are fucks left to distribute. It’s usually about five.
Different elements of a porno will use up these fucks at different rates. For instance, if there’s a threesome, you’re SOL. The concept of a threesome instantly burns through all the fucks, before the action even starts. In fact, I think you can science this, and find that I’m right. Now and then, you may have a situation where you have two active performers, and one who is just hanging out. After some time, the action may progress to where this morphs into an actual threesome. The second this happens, the fucks are expended explosively, and the porno reverts to SP.
Also, a plot with any kind of complexity is usually bad news. It seems that having a plot counts for about four fucks on average. If the plot is convoluted enough, it may actually go through more fucks than are available, and you end up with negative fucks.
Even with only a basic plot or scenario, though, the fucks are still expended at a steady rate. They’re usually gone after about ten of fifteen minutes. This is a problem if the ongoing erotic psychodrama, in which I may be rather invested at this point, has only progressed so far. You may have an erotic situation. There is tension. There is drama. There is development. And then, SPROING, whoops, all out of fucks, revert to SP.
I mean, at least pace yourselves, yeah? At least conclude the psychodrama. I understand the technical limitations, but consider the pacing. Don’t suddenly go SP on my ass in mid-eroticism.
You can see how this becomes an issue with, for instance, the subject under discussion, namely the incest scenario. Not that I’m particularly invested in this specific concept. Frankly, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a trend that can go fuck itself. But at least there is the potential for an erotically charged psychodramatic situation. The problem is that the concept itself is enough to blow through about three and a half fucks, at the outset, leaving only a fuck and a half, which doesn’t get you far into the development.
You might say, well, if ten minutes work, why not have ten minute pornos? If you can make any of those that don’t suck, that is, which they usually do anyway, for whatever reason. But ten minutes is usually too short for a decent product. I want at least about thirty minutes of running time, and ideally double that. Ever *had *sex for ten minutes? Well, I guess y’all have. But it depends on how you measure it. If you start the clock at the foreplay, then that counts as a quickie in my world.
However, all is not lost. One possibility is an episodic approach. Do ten to fifteen minute installments. Between these, recharge the fucks. Maybe save up some extra fucks for the final chapter, and Bob might just be your uncle. I have found two - 2 - cases of this approach being employed, more or less. It seemed to work rather well, although almost certainly by complete accident. I very much doubt that the producers had a clue what they were actually doing. But still, I think I might want to be on the lookout for that.
And there is further discussion to be had. BTW, I hope no one is confused by the terminology.
