Just so that we are all in the same page for this one:
When a scene has more than 1 girl and more than 1 man, I call it an "orgy" scene.
And when there is only 1 girl and more than 2 men, I call it a "gangbang" scene.
Ok let's get started.
Back in 2013 when I joined, a lot of scenes were 2 or 3 girls and 2 or 3 dudes. So orgy scenes.
I don't have the numbers but, to me orgy type scenes felt like 60% of the total of scenes, maybe even more.
Someone could verify this if it
really matters (scenes come up with published date).
Anyways. Orgy scenes are more expensive to produce,
because usually, ladies get paid a bigger amount of money than males, or so I heard over many years.
and so having 2 or 3 girls makes the scene significantly more expensive to produce.
this fact is very important, profit margins depend on sales and production cost.
For an expensive scene, such as an orgy scene. you need to offset the cost with big sales numbers.
But the thing is that producers are not thinking, "I hope that at least, I get my money back",
the reality is that they want to get as much money as possible. So efficiency comes into play.
How can I spend the least amount of money and get the biggest return possible, within a set time frame.
is what they are thinking, the how becomes secondary.
Somewhere around 2014 Gonzo realized that fans preferred to buy gangbang type scenes.
As their sales charts indicated.
and they started prioritizing those, Giorgio realized this probably like week 1 since he started here, or maybe he already knew
and Sineplex took a while longer because you can kinda tell
they liked doing orgy scenes regardless of what sells better. (Most of their scenes are orgies)
But in mid 2015 they started doing more and more gangbang scenes. Probably because of money issues.
If you recall, they moved to Mexico to save some money and presumably film more scenes, release them faster. (However that didn't really happen IMO)
But the key thing was, gangbang scenes were cheaper to produce and were selling better, thus the profits were bigger.
I remember one time when XXX said in the forum that he was surprised people liked buying gangbang scenes over orgy scenes.
Probably becasue back then, logic would say that more beautiful women, increase sales.
The big problem about Orgy scenes for me, is the camera work.
I think an Orgy scene is too big of a challenge for a film maker to do,
especially because ideally, it has to be filmed everything in one go (to make the sex the most believable possible)
and with just one camera (to keep the cost low?).
SO with so much going on and with everything being so spontaneous and in the heat of the moment,
Orgy scenes are really hard to do and really easy to upset fans.
Ultimately the action could be the nastiest in history, but what matters is what happens in front of the camera.
And that goes without saying that maybe the other lady in scene "ruins" the scene for you.
With Gonzo I never really understand why they move the camera the way they do. (during orgy movies)
I often feel like they move the camera at the worst possible moments, lol. (they switch the focus to a different girl when the previous one was getting fucked really good)
And often I don't like how they squeezed 2 or 3 girls into the frame of the video and chopped parts of their body out of view,
or things are happening too far away from camera and you can't see things as you would want,
or the camera is too close to a girl and you can't see the others, etc, etc.
Giorgio has a much better understanding of "what people want to watch" tho, therefore he produces much better looking ones IMO.
Personally back in 2013 and 2014, I was often buying gangbang type scenes, that had girls I didn't even liked.
There are scenes that had so much pissing I was like "I'm never watching this" (I dislike pissing) but,
because I wanted to send the message, "produce more gangbang scenes". I added them to my collection.
Also, I became really annoying for the orgy fans here in the forum, as I was constantly bugging this place with "gangbangs are great" propaganda.
And this is really the best thing you can do, to shift the meta once again.
You can yell at the top of your lungs here at the forum but in the end, Money talks, you know?
Now that the meta changed to gangbangs I can be picky, muahahaha!
But the reason why I like gangbang scenes, well reasons, are that is easier for the director to capture on video everything we want to see,
and seeing how a woman reacts to all the mannerisms the men can throw at her, it's really fun to watch, I really like that fantasy of a woman who can't get enough.
Honestly I wish the sex in the scenes lasted for a longer period of time.
One of the current trends that I don't like at the moment is that 3 on 1 scenes, and 5 on 1, 10 on 1 scenes, you name it, all last the same amount of time.
And that doesn't make sense to me.
If 3 men can continuously fuck a woman for 30 mins non stop
(what the scene usually last if you remove the sexy striptease, dildo play or sexy dance or the last 15 minutes of GG scenes where there is no sex going on)
then, why 5 men, doesn't bump the duration to 45 mins or 10 men to 60 minutes? I mean she has the same 3 holes, not matter what.
How is that more men get satisfied in the same amount of time?
How are 10 men cumming in the same time as 3, is absurd to me.
The price goes up but the duration of the movie stays the same.
We don't pay extra just to see 2 or 7 extra dudes,
we do it to see the fantasy of a woman who is so sexy and hungry for sex, 10 men are barely enough for her.
we don't like seeing men jerking off most of the time or not being in the shot to hide this,
we want to see them climax as a result of fornicating her...
That's why we want to pay extra, we want to see the girl fucking for longer amounts of time.
The thing is, if you could get 3 men that could fuck the woman, non stop, and climax 60 minutes later. That would be better than any 10 on 1.
Except maybe the 10 on 1 with Blanche, that one was fucking legit :P
I'm totally biased towards that one.
WTF was that? lol
