Dear Ms. Kianna,
I couldn't agree more. I think my least favorite episodes involve 3-ways. Invariably, one of the threesome gets isolated and this upstages the two guys left fucking/sucking/etc. It is a major distraction. I think possibly the absence of more cameras on the set contributes to this too, but even our best
Broke Straight Boys models occasionally get sidelined to jack off by them self and seem at this point so expendable. When guys get it from both ends (not including orally), most seem to have difficulty, even the more experienced guys, keeping in sync and, therefore, break the momentum of the scene.
The fantasy of a 3-way far exceeds the actual reality of a 3-way. I think at its worst is the "middle guy" desperately trying to keep entertained both other parties with a blow job having long pauses due to switching to the other guy. No additional camera can help with this disruption factor.
If two's company, then I believe three is a "crowd" and necessarily less than just the two. 4-ways can be great but you need cameras, cameras, cameras or you are missing out on something. I feel the best deal for the money is to keep it simple and have an orgy scene with just two hot guys.
Keep it simply hot!
I completely agree with both you, and Ms. K. Not only for the reasons you mentioned, but also the logistics make it impossible for many viewers to fully enjoy the scene to its full potential.
An example of this is the recent scene with Dr. David, and the two other guys on
College Boy Physicals. This scene featured something that is practiced far too seldom across the
Broke Straight Boys/
College Boy Physicals suite of products: Cum eating! And because it was a three way, while the cum eating was going on, the camera was instead zoomed in and focused on the last man standing continuing to boringly jack off his cock by himself, all the while the other guy had just cum and the patient was sucking the cum off his cock which was completely unseen to the viewers because of the camera choosing to focus on the last remaining guy standing there jacking off by himself.
What porn peddlers have got to realize is they are shooting these scenes for the viewer, not for themselves! What is hot in reality (i.e. underwater sex...very hot in real life, but I have yet to see a pool or hot tub scene that was even close to being erotic or hot...not to mention visible due to the horrendous lighting, and impossibility of clearly seeing what's going on) is NOT hot on film to viewers who are attempting to watch it! With much the same reasoning, orgies and threeways are simply impossible to portray in a 15 minute video shot with one to two cameras. Then throw editing into the mix and you leave out everything the other 50% of the viewers wanted to see! No matter what you do, you're going to annoy approximately 50% of the audience by focusing too much on the models some of us DIDN'T want to see. And it never fails, in orgies and 3ways, every time I see them I end up totally annoyed because the camera concentrates intensely on the one guy I like the least and want out of the scene altogether (which is usually the camera hog, never the underdog). And there are plenty of us out there who tend to root for the underdog.
Even worse yet in 3ways and orgies, the directors and producers seem to find it ir-resistable to get the scene participants to partake in positions and activities that would NEVER be performed in real life (unless they were grand standing for each other, or a crowd). Things like daisy chains, train fucking etc. are just completely out of the norm, and rarely done in real life comfortably or erotically.
What I like about
Broke Straight Boys is the reality genre, and an amateur look and feel to it. But when you start having these guys do orgies, 3ways, group sex (and daisy chains, train fucking, etc.), it completely throws the amateur reality sex idea right out the window and makes it seem like it's trying to become a Falcon porn movie or something...which it's not, and never could be (which is a very good thing...I've never been a fan of falcon porn).
I say let the big name studios stay in California, and keep making DVD's and high budget porn with fancy sets, props, music, etc. They can have their frequent orgy and bath-house scenes that they charge $79.95 per DVD to purchase. I much prefer hot, amateur, intimate sex or sexual situations between two broke straight guys!
