[preliminary assessment] The things you hated

[jstwolf]

Not a hate, but a dislike, I dislike when the reward round is only one gal, generally the author may really be into her, but others may not be, so if it ends with a gal I'm not into I'll just play the first round of thick & juicy 1 and finish there. It's nice to have a variety of scenes for the reward round, I feel, to hit various tastes.

I also dislike when the whole CH is the same body type of gals, especially if they're all skinny with no curves to them, I understand if the episode is about that/themed, that's cool, but I like some variety.

My fav vids are the thick and juicy episodes, curves, and boob/ass focused CH's.

IMHO, one girl who does nothing but talk. I refer to it as the anti-reward round.

One thing that I hate in certain CH vids is a crazy beat thrown in. Difficult beats are part of the game but beats that aren't rhythmic and require you to focus on the beatmeter rather than the action is crazy, in my opinion.

As far as the video action goes, no surprises like the shemale that was added into whatever CH vid it was.

Crazy beats are irritating. More so, IMO are the really slow beats, or long breaks for no reason. Especially during the softcore scenes. Unless they follow an edge, or a good bout of double time, it sometimes becomes a challenge of keeping excited and not getting bored.

Just like the Boss Fights in the Flux episodes, especially the one where the dude is jerking off and cumming on some chick who is supposed to be his sister. The Flux episodes are among my favorites, but I skip the Boss Fights.

I hate when the cutting back and forth between scenes is too slow and not fast enough, or more simply when the scenes are too long and drawn out.

I hate too many guys and men in scenes, I wanna see women.

I hate when it is all music and you cannot hear the moans and or dirty talk of the women.

I hate it when the woman looks uninterested in what she is doing.

I LOVE dirty talking to the camera and smiling and when she is saying "pump it" or "stroke that thing" or whatever type of saying that feels she is actively involved with you.

My dislikes:

- Music with guy(s) singing really turns me off.

- Video with guys in it(most of the time). Focus should be on the viewer(POV) or exciting the viewer(girl-on-girl, masturbation, etc.).

- In POV with a male in it, hearing the guy moan or even talk in the background is usually a turnoff.

- No reward round or one that assumes my orgasm is over in ten seconds. Especially with such a buildup there is a good chance I can drag out my orgasm past 1 minute.(It's not over when the ejaculation stops, for me at least.)

- Most hardcore stuff doesn't really do it for me. Although that might partially be because most focus 30-40% on the guy again.

- Short pauses after edging sessions. If you're going to make me edge, let me recover from it before returning to normal stroking. For me the feeling doesn't go away in 10 seconds.


My likes:

- Slow & Sensual. Girl-on-girl kissing, touching. POV stuff with 100% girl.

- Well written text that tries to add flavour and get me to cum too soon.(Though again I don't want a guy talking to me in text.)

- Beat-meter or whatever you want to call it. Knowing what's coming up makes it a lot easier to follow along. Especially with the more difficult patterns.

- Forced edging and holding.(Not too soon.) Really turns up the heat for me.

- Surprises. Like rounds lasting longer then announced for example.

Im going to keep this short.

Bad Video quality.is a no go.
Really complex beats.
too easy/too slow beats.
strokemeter and beats off music. Thats just sloppy editiing.

Similarly, I'd say I also don't like when reward rounds are less intense or arousing than the rest of the video. For me, having a CH video with hardcore action in it and then a reward round that's just a handjob (ManoJobs / handdom) or especially JOI is just... nothing. I have to hop over to another video for my reward. I'd say 1 JOI scene out of 10 is actually stimulating.

You seem to have nicely summed up some major elements of what my answer would be.

If JOI or handjob material absolutely must be used in the reward round - I've never thought it did, but that seems to be an unwritten rule among the creators - consider using the audio but splicing other stuff in on the visual side. There's a really good editor of porn music videos called Shantotto who's been mentioned here from time to time, and even had some of his work used in a CH video or two - his "I'm A Slut" video does this really, really well (it helps that it uses one of the rare JOI vids I've seen that actually somewhat turns me on in itself, but he does a lot more than just that).

Another thing I've complained about is going off theme. Of course, I mind this a lot more if it's a theme I really like (that's typically teens in my case, for someone else it might be big tits or BDSM or whatever). If you say you're doing a particular theme, do that theme throughout or at least don't wildly deviate from it. Both of the ostensibly teen-themed videos I've seen here, as I recall (it's been a while since I looked at them) had at least two scenes each where the girls were nearly the opposite of what was advertised. If you say you're going to show me a bunch of pictures of kittens, don't throw in an alligator or a tarantula, no matter how cute you personally find it.

Would be good to know who the stars are of the round (some have a list at the end, or a list in the forum).
