Really good points book_guy. I feel the proper balance lies in being unpredictable without being jarring.book_guy wrote:For me, the "surprise" event can be done effectively sometimes. Like, you're doing a slow and gentle scene, with maybe a hot girl just sitting there soft-core posing and smiling, and SUDDENLY you see same girl point-of-view blowing "you" (filmed so the visual angle is exactly as though you were looking at your own dick getting blown by her) and you have to stroke maximum speed for a few moments. This can be enjoyable, and can be a real threat to putting me over-the-top, if it arrives when I don't expect it and yet enjoy it.
Problem is, it can often arrive when I don't expect it and THEREFORE DO NOT enjoy it. It's a subtle trick to play, to insert something that is mildly jarring, and over-stimulating, without inserting it as SO jarring that the very nature of it makes it NON-stimulating. Of course, the threshold will be different for each viewer, for each girl, for each type of scene or action, etc. etc.. So, all I'm saying is, it's a subtle judgment call. People don't often get it correct, or, don't often get it to be effective FOR ME. I think there are a LOT of cock-hero videos with jump-cuts and other "surprise" tricks in them, which are more problematic than effective for me. The total batting average among all the jump-cuts in the whole genre is around .110 or so, for my own responses -- a little better than one in ten is actually enjoyable to me; the other nine or so, are turn-offs.
So, be careful with these tricks. I like it, but it's difficult to bring it off effectively.
Thanks again to everyone for continuing to provide feedback. This weekend is your last chance to submit scores for the Championship Edition. I've already done most of the editing work on the Championship Edition video so it should be posted pretty quickly after the deadline passes.
