Hurt by a flagging economy and changes in technology, the adult film industry is making fewer feature-length narrative movies in favor of shorter, Internet-ready “vignettes,” according to a July 7 New York Times article. Is writing a porno feature different from writing a regular feature?

Yes. For one thing, the scripts are a lot shorter. Whereas Hollywood screenplays generally run between 90 and 120 pages, porn scripts clock in at 25 to 28 pages, for obvious reasons. Your average 90-minute porn film will have between five and seven sex scenes. At five to 10 minutes each, that leaves only about a half-hour for dialogue. As a result, there’s not as much room for character development, plot, surprise endings, and all the other dramatic elements you associate with feature films.

Porn writers also get paid a lot less. Whereas Hollywood screenplays sell for anywhere from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, pay for porn scripts for even big productions generally caps out at around $1,000. (Writers unions don’t accept porn writers unless they also work on mainstream film and TV projects.) And since adult films usually have low budgets—a few thousand dollars—writers can’t compose scenes that would be expensive to shoot, like fighting sequences atop a moving train. They try to limit the action to the rooms of a house—bedroom, bathroom, kitchen.

Myrtle Beach police have charged eight people — including some UNCSA students — with filming sex acts near the Myrtle Beach pier on Second Avenue.

On July 1, officers patrolling the area around 200 North Ocean Blvd. responded to a report of indecent exposure on the beach.

Police say witnesses saw Hancock performing or simulating sex acts with Flanders under the pier. The witnesses, however, told officers that they did not see any nudity

I have found the Holy Grail of lesbian dirty movies. I have read that you (like me) are more attracted to straight and bisexual women than to lesbians. My taste in porn dates back to the ’70s and my dad’s collection of Penthouse magazines that my brother and I would find under the bed. I have often wondered why there is no lesbian porn like that — really erotic, beautiful women who look like they are into it.

“Girl on Girl” material for straight men is usually disappointing, with lots of giggling and glancing at the cameraman. I feel like I should watch so-called dyke porn, but starting with “On Our Backs” and now its heirs like “The Crash Pad,” those lesbian-targeted products adhere to a different aesthetic than what I can relate to. Lots of piercing, tattoos, boi models, etc.

I just discovered a couple of studios that use hot women who genuinely love women, with an emphasis on psychological connection, drama, passion but with the focus on hardcore action. Check out “Sweetheart Video,” anything by Viv Thomas, and also Girlfriends Films and a few others. A good Web site to check out is lezlove.com. They cater to straight men, lesbians, couples — a peaceable kingdom of pervs. This video is a YouTube appropriate PG-13 mash-up I made with clips featuring the gorgeous, passionate Samantha Ryan. She also does mainstream adult films that are unsexy and inane, but in these indie films she is an amazing artist and apparently a black belt in lesbian sex. I hope it cheers you up!
