Golden Age of porn.
I've been saying for a while that it felt for a long time like we - right now - were living through a golden age in terms of porn. I've recently gone back and watched some very very low res old scenes from the early 2000s and while I still believe we are in the golden age currently. I only believe this to be so because technology has provided us with the highest production quality porn of all time with the lowest barriers ever. So anyone - literally anyone - with an iPhone and laptop can slap together some of the clearest most high definition production level porn you can imagine. However, some of the blurriest, 240p, square aspect ratio scenes I've watched over the past few days - at least in terms of performance, dirty talk, energy, chemistry - all the intangibles that simply cannot be upgraded by buying new hardware. The gap is HUGE. Gianna Michaels, Flower Tucci, Kelly Divine, Jenna Haze could all carry scenes off their energy alone long before you get to their looks and the things they could do with their bodies. There are so few stars now that have the same level of magnetism. What do you think? Is it better to have higher quality, higher production level, super consistent accessible porn? Or was it better when the porn looked like shit but the performances were off the charts?
