Russian content shoots vs. US shooters - GoFuckYourself.com

Robert Day · 01-06-2010, 10:07 PM

Is it me, or are the Russian content shooters getting more business than LA and shooters in the states right now?

So far I see more high quality Russian content here these days.

NaughtyRob · 01-06-2010, 10:08 PM

One thing I noticed is that a lot more Eastern European girls are getting boobjobs. Yuck.

neonlights · 01-06-2010, 10:08 PM

hi, where can I purchase Russian made content ? is there a site ? IS it possible to order custom scenes or content ?

NaughtyRob · 01-06-2010, 10:09 PM

You can order some from me neonlights, but American girls and affordable!

Mutt · 01-06-2010, 10:13 PM

there are a lot of Russian programs and paysites now shooting their own content.

the big American programs are all shooting the same bunch of girls and guys in the same locations, same themes, same, same, same everything - and the LA DVD studios the same, there's no difference between a Naughty America MILF scene with Lisa Ann from a Brazzers MILF scene with Lisa Ann from a Zero Tolerance MILF scene with Lisa Ann from a Bangbros MILF scene with Lisa Ann .............. so I think this has given these Russian programs an opening, something fresh and different.

those skinny east euro/ruskie models are hot as fuck in the art/glamour stuff. something about russian hardcore always looks creepy though. maybe russians are just that creepy.

Robert Day · 01-07-2010, 09:22 AM

Wow... So those of us in the good ole usa are losing out to the Russians.

Again this proves that shooters in LA and around the USA are not very smart.

I do not think that euro women are superior to US women, euro girls are far more open minded and have less, so they will take three cocks in the ass at the same time on their first shoot.

You´ll find all kinds of women in every country, unless your opinion is based on prejudices. There are hot US girls, there are hot chicks from Europe.

You are a complete idiot, your statement proves it.

I am NOT prejudice, I said clearly I do not think euro women are superior.
All white women in the USA are European you idiot! Any white person in the USA is European. I may have been born in the USA, but I am English and German by race.
So you are an un educated idiot.

Also there is not as much money in Russia, so the girls take what they can get.
300 to 600 per shoot while girls in LA make twice to three times that amount per scene.

Sinister Angel · 01-07-2010, 09:38 AM

I am always looking for hot content NOT from North America. Looking for middle east and Indian subcontinent content too. anyone here know where to get REAL indian content and not some mexican with dots on their forehead stuff? [email protected]

with some of those russian shoots you can almost feel the heroin needles crunching underneath your boots.

If all Americans would be so very well educated and polite like you are, it would be hardly surprising that the US economy is ailing.

Fortunately most companies I delt with have proven otherwise.

Jay-Rock · 01-07-2010, 10:37 AM

Russian's shoot much cheaper from what I have heard, but being use to american girls in my personal life I can't jerk off to russian porn its usually very stale and the girls aren't as believeable and from what I hear it doesn't convert like hot american girls.

Yeah, I used to live in Russia.

It's fun sometimes to talk to old ladies who live in Russia and they tell stories of how they went through World War II.

And the old lady veterans say things like, "Oh, we were riding in a tank, and then the tank next to us exploded on a mine." - and things like that.

I´ve seen crap produced all over the world. Quality depends on the producer. Maybe more of that crap comes from Russia.
But you are right, it´s much easier to sell local girls in a local market. Maybe the surfer buys the illusion that he can fuck that girl who he is watching on the website.

Shooting hard core scenes for $300? wow.

The biggest market is still the US for Porn and they still want to fuck whats next door...
shooting Hot chicks is what sells wheteher Amateur, Glamour, Niche or Hardcore

Shoot one super hot chick like a "10" in quality and you can sell it a 100 times...the russians are just mass producing and I am sure any Program can tell you what converts and 90% of the time it is Hot girls and American Style Content and being best in Market.

I am sure that there will continue to be porn produced all over the civilized world, but Russian porn is simply not any competition for American porn. The kind of porn I shoot with fresh faced American girls who can be interviewed, can speak English and act out scenarios, just cannot be replicated in Eastern Europe. A lot of the North American fans prefer to see and hear girls they can relate to. In other countries as well they often prefer American porn.

Would you rather see palm trees, bikinis and your home country in the background while they have an English conversation leading to a sex scene or see some creepy looking Euro guy fucking a Slavic girl in a remote farmhouse somewhere with no dialog to speak of? Mutt's comment about the LA scene is also correct- same girls shooting for the same sites. At least with my shoots, I get brand new girls for my clients on a regular basis before they are all shot out, not the same LA porn stars bouncing from set to set.

Mutt · 01-07-2010, 01:56 PM

oh, i agree that American girls still are what the vast majority of surfers want because they want to see girls like they see and know in their own lives - it's just that it's the same girls being shot for 100 different sites and 100 DVD's and there's nothing that can be done about that. Nobody can recruit enough attractive girls to do porn to keep up with the shooting schedule sites that regularly update have to keep up with. Bangbros in the beginning was doing it but it became impossible for them so they became like everybody else relying mostly on the LA talent agencies for their talent.

Dirty Dane · 01-07-2010, 02:14 PM

When I look at sites like Met-Art, then I have no doubt where the most beautiful girls origin.
I also think 2257 has made the US models ... hmm... older. And harder to produce. General speaking?

To be honest I could care less if I was banned, I make more than any porn producer could ever dream at my normal career. I just market porn as an extra, it was more or less at test
of my marketing skills.

If you produce any big name DVD series, I am probably one of the guys who distributes it internationally, so be weary of who you are calling a big mouth.

again.... stupidity by nature. America known as the United States of America was founded by Europeans. So we are the same as any Russian or German race, dont need to know the language. lol

IMHO, the Russian girls, particularly the teens, are very hot and pretty much do everything. But the scenes are usually very cookie cutter and often the girls look bored/distracted/in pain/etc. In general, the content is not very good.

The guy who runs Nubiles is very smart and knows what he's doing. He hires good photographers, and he makes sure the content is up to his standards. And, I think I'm right in saying that all his shoots are custom shoots, which wasn't what I was referring to in my previous post.
