Always Ending With Facials - Why?

Post by Turbid1218 »

From the perspective of a straight male...

A lot of Cock Hero videos seem to end with you being told to cum to a series of women getting facials. I get that this is a porn industry standard, something of a "coda" that defines many genres, but it feels like a lack of imagination to me. CH videos are defined by the unique touch of the creator, so why do many creators default to something we see in almost *every single* porn video?

Beyond that though, I just prefer to orgasm while watching something with more "action." A lot of these facial shots are more focused on the dick, while the women are just passively sitting there (oftentimes not seeming to enjoy it, which is pretty understandable TBH). I suppose it might be tricky to distinguish the "cum" portion of a CH video from the rest without using a series of facials?

At any rate, I realize a lot of this is subjective...perhaps I'm in the minority here.

Just my opinion, but I think that pretty much is the reasoning. Which, admittedly, isn't very good reasoning.. since a lot of CH videos end each round with cumshots/facials as well. Maybe a better overall reason is that facials are just easier to visually portray and associate with cumming.

Yea, that does make sense. This is probably a more specific preference of mine, which is for videos that do a slow buildup with lots of softcore/teasing and then use the fast beats/hardcore stuff very sparingly. That gives you room to build toward an action-packed climax and have it actually feel different from the rest of the video, instead of just "okay, now here's anal scene #23."

I think Cock Hero Scratch is still my all-time favorite, with the slower buildup to the intense 11:27-14:10 portion...but alas it goes into the cumshot/facial stuff right after that :rolleyes:

Let me join in the club, that's my thought exactly.

When it comes to sideshots and I see a dick and the face of a girl who probably not even likes it... meh, it kinds of ruins it for me. A sideshot only works for me if it's far enough, so I can look the body of the girl.
POV facials can work too, probably because usually I can see more from the girl and I can "replace" that dick with mine much more easier.
But I prefer a scene with more action or any other non-facial POV cumshot is much more appealing for me.

I think my favourite is when a girl cumming / squirting, but I guess it can only work with solo, maybe lesbian content.

Yea, love a good montage of that so I can cum at the same time as her

My perspective might be a bit different than most having some sissy tendencies, but the whole facial thing is kind of a turnoff for me. I don't really enjoy giving them (I'd rather cum on like any other part of their body tbh), and I don't like receiving them either (I'd rather just take it straight down the throat or somewhere else). My favorite endings usually involve cumming on tits or just a straight joi with a countdown. POV can be really good as well when done right. The slow buildup from softcore to hardcore is also nice, especially on those hour long ones that can get fairly monotonous after a while. Getting off topic at this point, but also don't really like seeing 20 girls in a 5 minute round when 5 would do just fine. Having 1 girl for a round is my personal favorite, back when I used to watch these all the time. I'll go back and watch Cock Hero 15 every once in a while because it's probably my favorite, then I usually cum to something else at the end because it's a facial.

Agreed on JOI and countdowns. And yeah, I definitely appreciate when the video has a narrative that focuses on a small number of "characters." It adds a lot of anticipation and excitement right out of the gate for me.

Big facial fan here, I love a good montage of facial shots (especially when the girls appear to enjoy them) when I am ready to cum

Many, but not always! ;-) Some of my favorite productions do not do that!

Well, judging from the responses, you are not alone. :lol: For productions that I don't like as much, that have a less than exciting ending, I often rewind to a passage where a girl is having a great orgasm to get my reward.

If your video is too fat, there's a solution!
Spoiler: show
The generated output of your video editor may be bloated, too big for not any significant benefit. One thing you can do is use HANDBRAKE with the H.264 (x264), RF18 Constant Quality and Web Optimized / Fast Start options, all other options by default. You'd be surprised how smaller the video becomes, without any impact to the quality.
:yes:

Interesting for further details about the process.

Same here. If she looks into it, it’s a super turn-on (which I guess my CH videos illustrate). I love watching women get off too though, whether it’s through sex or just playing with herself. So maybe I just like orgasms. ;) Luckily, my wife is playful and open-minded enough that it all works out for both of us.
My latest Cock Hero is Sweet Mammaries, a Cock Hero Quickie.

I've also made 4-play, 4-play 2, Getting Down With The Thiccness, Fuck Hard Cum Harder, Filthy Cute and Kittens & Cream. You can stream them all on SpankBang or search up their announce threads here for other options. :)

Yea, usually there's some hot action during the countdown *before* the facial montage, and I find that a better place to finish

I think a facial finish works well, because it makes it easy to put yourself into the picture and cum.

However there is always room for experimentation and trying something different. For me the most memorable finish was cumming while Guerlain stared me in the eye :).

I've been working on gently introducing my wife to a few of my vices, including Cock Hero. Facials are not my favorite but they are an absolute dealbreaker for her. It has been surprisingly difficult to find suitable videos for us to play together when any other finish to a round would be fine. The purely softcore videos are not especially arousing for me. Xity's Chroma 2 & Chroma 3 and the Nubile Films Do Not Cum Challenge are the only videos I've found that thread the needle. Hopefully I will have a chance to test those with her soon and see whether we like them.

I understand that Cock Hero videos reflect the qualities of the underlying material - all collage does. I would encourage creators to try breaking free of the tyranny of the money shot, especially if you're interested in making videos suitable for women or hetero couples. For myself, an all creampie reward round would be much hotter. I'd like to try my hand at some Cock Hero short films if I can find the time, so maybe I'll be able to find out how difficult that constraint is to deal with soon.

Yeah, that's how I feel too. Seems like some unexplored creative space.
