Porn Viewing: Do you know what you're talking about?

[RainDog]

49. Yeah. I think it has its own challenges

I'm not as disciplined about writing as I used to be when that was my primary occupation.

I did write something once on spec for a straight to vid b/c a friend was doing those things as money makers between film gigs (on the production end of not porn movies.) It never got made, even tho I had already picked out my porn film writing name. lol. Film is pretty formulaic for those things. I didn't have a lot of experience viewing porn, so I just decided to write something that was fun for me to visualize, and read scripts that my friend had had produced.

In those, the set ups and twists were the most important part, as well as a sex scene every seven minutes/pages or so - tho ten pp was the "rule."

The best "porn" I've ever seen was adapted from the novel Fanny Hill. (Fanny, in Brit slang, is the pudendum, not the arse.) Anyway, it's a "coming of age" story, so to speak.
