I really think some of these people would be better off just watching real porn rather than expecting AVNs to have the same density of sex acts and lack of story.
Absolutely. I don't wanna sound too pedantic, but AVNs are predominantly based on written words ("novel") as a medium. If you don't enjoy reading, and you resort to skim through the text to reach a handful of sexy images or a few seconds loop animation, you're probably looking in the wrong place for sexual gratification.
Granted, many AVNs suffer from an overabundance of text. And being a visual medium, the balance between the visual and written part of AVNs can differ, according to preference and skill of both the writer and the graphic artist, especially if they are the same person. That's where the personal taste of the player comes in. But if one's premise is "I don't like reading, I like to look at the sexy pictures", he will be let down most of the time, and he shouldn't be surprised that other people can enjoy reading some text and find it as stimulating as the visuals, and prefer their AVNs like that.

Except they shouldn't watch any adult movies prior to 1984, because during the golden era of porn movies there were actually scripts to many of the films.
Yep. Some were absolutely slap stick at times, others were highly dramatic costume period movies. Katharina und ihre wilden hengste (Kim Novak) comes to mind. Some versions of this movie had a duration of more than 2 hours

Very true. In the days when they thought they were ushering in a new age where explicit sex was an acceptable part of mainstream movies. Outside of Europe, it's been few and far between.

That's why I like to watch those from time to time. Low resolution, but a refreshing change. One of my favorite movies that tried to be explicit and mainstream was Alice in Wonderland.

But yes, once all one needed was a video camera, the market became flooded with flimsier and flimsier stories. That's how I view the modern trend of step-fantasy. All shot in one house without having to explain why the people involved are in the same house.
I cant even watch non storyline porn it's just not compelling enough for me. I need at least something emotional to hang the sexy times on.
I know what you mean. I will watch hours of modern porn until I find something that sparks my libido. Sometimes it is story, sometimes there's something about the chemistry. I ended up subscribing to the original Dare Ring videos and liked that amateur feel. I keep thinking about subscribing to Lost Bets, and I did go with Ersties because it is usually about people having fun.

One thing I look for is actresses who look like they are genuinely enjoying their work. Aaliyah Love, Natasha Nice, Lena Paul, and Nala Brooks are some good examples, IMHO.
I have to admit. I never did follow her, but I find it a bit difficult to view those actresses who took their own lives. A part of my mind always remembers.

There were a lot of them! Not only Alice in Wonderland above, but many others. Barbara Broadcast was cute showing an alternative earth where sex was a very casual thing, sometimes offered on the menu of trendy restaurants. One of my favorite stars of the gold age was Annie Sprinkles. I follow her and her wife on Facebook and even met her at my place of employment one time. She's a kick.

Yeah, quality went straight to shit with VHS to appeal to the lowest common denominator (and to get as many copies into as many VCRs as possible). Few USA films match the old classics like "Behind the Green Door," "The Devil in Miss Jones," "Alice in Wonderland: An X-Rated Musical Fantasy," or even "Insatiable." Though exceptions exist, one being "Pirates" (2005).

I still need to see Pirates one day.

One good thing about the move to video--it was harder for the mob to control it. Back in the day, they were often the only ones who would process the film. At least on the east coast. I don't know if it was the same in San Francisco (where Behind the Green Door was made).

I think how the camera quality wend up, the quality of x-rated movies went down. I was young in 80', but if I compare it to today it's just stupid. Things are getting worse, every year. Some stupid movement and rules are there just to make it even worse.
When you opened any daily newspaper, titties. Their parents fought for that in 60' or 70'. Nobody was upset. Today is just like the clock go backwards.
But on the other side, today kids are just following some stupid challenges and get injured or worse. The easiest way to get killed in traffic is to read it on your smartphone about somebody someone else was killed in traffic accident while crossing the road.

Some old porn I really like is the Taboo series I think they were from the 1980's
Today it's all step porn god I hate that.
Old man voice: "In my day, Taboo porn involved characters who were biologically related family members, damnit! Not this mamby pamby step bullshit!"

Seriously, I think it's the same thing we deal with here with Patreon--fear of losing billing options.
On the other side, step incest allows equal opportunity casting. No need to limit oneself to a fairly narrow ethnic profile to make biological incest believable.

This Game has to have the record for longest time between an update with not getting the abandoned flag.
There are at least 190 games currently awaiting an update with longer development cycles than this. That's not counting those in the past. As mentioned by Kellermann in the previous post, LOML is currently at 17 months.

Abandoned: used in the following cases:

The mods and NaughtyRoad are aware.

And now, so are you.

Do you really think someone (assuming they played fairly well in before) would want to start all the way from the beginning, including the boring parts? This is a HUGE game and almost all AVNs the beginning is boring (ie no sex scenes.)
Yes. You refresh your memory on the story and the anticipation for the sexy parts makes them that much more satisfying.

This got me thinking of the good old days. For reference: I was born in the end of the seventies, and my first contact with porn movies was with "Bra Breakers vol 1".

...

Sorry, I reminisced about Ebony Ayes and got distracted. What was I saying? Ah, yes, the good old days.
I think the best thing of that era is that a full-blown porn experience was not granted. You had to look for it, and be resourceful (the family VHS was not available on a whim, after all), and in many cases make do with what you had. And if you got a taste for it, you didn't have all the porn in the world at your disposal: every experience was probably difficult to obtain and numbered, and this made it unique and flavorful on its own. This also made reviews and "curated content" (even if only by word of mouth) all the more valuable.
Trying to be objective, what I don't miss are soundtracks and dubbings: I much prefer direct capture. But it's a small blemish, especially compared to today's affairs (some actors and actresses screech so much, and so vapidly, they're an automatic turn off).

Now for today's offering: it's plentiful, and convenient, of course. But it's also like chewing some gum: the taste fades quick, and you're soon left with some flavorless gunk. Sometimes you want a gourmet meal, is all.

In my day....

Seriously, first were the mags and cheap trash novels with a B&W photo evry couple pages. Then I got a 'deal' on a 16mm projector and 3 reels. So Debbie does Dallas and Deep Throat on 16 mm were my intoduction to Filmed porn. Insatiable came right behind those :)
