I've added CH Prime Fitness to my Mega sharing zone (see .sig below).
... This one may be a favorite of a lot of people. It could be (for those who have the aligned preferences) the ideal mix of softcore posing that leads up to hardcore action. I can see that the author is moving in that direction, probably trying to bring about an effect like that. Lots of people will appreciate it for that fact.
For me, however, it's not really getting me all horned up. I didn't find this particular video as enticing or sexy as some other videos in the cock-hero genre, perhaps because it's just not exactly my style... Not enough horniness in the softcore and in the reality-based non-core (uh? right word?) because that's what softcore and non-core generally ARE intended to do, but also not enough horniness in the hardcore, though for a different reason. Just my experience, won't be everyone's.
Well, I said an AWFUL lot to explain this effect on me. I don't mean to denigrate this video as much as the length of this review (particularly the negatives in the previous paragraph) might imply to a casual reader. It's a really well done video, in terms of editing and technical mastery; furthermore, this one is likely going to be among the tops for many people with mainstream and straightforward interests, and it tends toward the softcore, with reality-scenes (sexy "real world" workouts, dancing, Fraules twerking, etc.) which is a nice new trend in cock-hero production. (Hmm, just wondering, do the Fraules girls also do escorting? I can see a nice cross-over niche there for the lucky average bloke who lives in ... Frankfurt? whatever city it's in ...)
I give it a solid A-minus, maybe B-plus? It's not an A or A-plus because that's reserved for a few of the mega-famous ones which have stood the test of time (Fail, Next, Temptation 1, f.e.); but it's DONE as well as those. And for ME personally, it gives me a B-plus or B level of experience, a little lower than the norm would be; it may be better or worse for you personally.
Great work!
Thank you so much for the VERY in-depth review that I had to cut-down a bit for brevity in this post. It's true, when I started this Cock Hero, I made a choice to straddle the fence and mix the hardcore with softcore components. I also don't enjoy really long EDM tracks, so showing very drawn-out softcore posing wasn't something I wanted to do. My primary message was more-or-less "everything can be sexy, life can be sexy, the daily things that girls do can be really fucking hot" so I decided to take the music-video approach: start with the tame set-up and then ramp it up at an exponential rate to some good, albeit short-lived, fucking. It's a style that some might like and some might not, but I mostly wanted to show that the line between flirting/posing and outright fucking can be blurry, and that line can be crossed when the chemistry is just right. I wanted to showcase that chemistry.

I think the video is a little on the long side considering it sticks strictly to the fitness theme. When you have one theme and one music artist, it can start to feel repetitive/fatiguing at this length.
Overall, I think this video is best for softcore enthusiasts who don't mind a little hardcore mixed in to keep things interesting. And despite my (hopefully constructive!) criticisms, this is solidly in the "A" class of great Cock Hero videos. Thank you so much for making it!
Thank you for the constructive criticisms! Yeah, in retrospect, I should've split this video into two different releases. It is absurdly long and even I have trouble watching through the whole thing. I just got carried away while making it, something I'm trying to avidly avoid in my next release (due VERY soon). I only went with this one theme because of my obsession with fit girls in sports bras, and though a singular fetish route is almost never the way to go for an hour-long Cock Hero, I felt that there were enough variations in the theme of "fitness" to make it work. Then again, I'm the one with the sports fetish so... ;D
Concerning the music, I love listening to entire albums. I think albums and EPs, and the way they order their tracks, have an artistic ebb and flow, and that was something I wanted to portray in the visual format with porn. Some Cock Hero's (obviously not Psytrance) tend to be musical hodgepodges, where I'm listening to reggae one round, then it abruptly shifts to Taylor Swift, and then to hip hop. Maintaining a single featured artist is a handicap that I think pays dividends, at least to me.

I had fun playing the first two or three rounds, and I remember thinking to myself that "this video is weird, but in a good way" and that it was really "a nice change of pace - something different from the usual content".
After that though, the video just didn't keep its hold on me; kind of like the novelty wore off or the arousal kind of just plateaued after those first few rounds.
I don't really have anything negative to say, or really that much criticism: there were a few parts where the beats kind of blended in with the music too much and it was semi-difficult to keep the beat, but that's about it really.
I just didn't connect with video while I played it.
I hear ya, brotha! After taking a break from working on it, I started re-watching this Cock Hero and realize the pacing takes a huge hit after the first few rounds. But hey, I'm fixing this in my next release! I won't tell you HOW exactly, but I hope you'll be gripped throughout the duration of my next Cock Hero. ;)

I never usually post comments (I know, I know, I'm selfish and lazy), but goddamn, wow. This has quickly become my favorite CH. I mean, of course there are the classics that may have garnered an A+, but what turns me on evolves with time, and when I go back to those videos, they don't get me off as much as they did when they were first released.
The first comment will be on the selection of talent. I don't think there has been a single video where I didn't get turned off by a a good number of the girl selections (although the girls in the MMA scenes turned me off a bit); this one was insanely awesome. Also, when each theme got revealed, I got nervous and horny as fuck, especially for the ballet and weight lifting themes (squaaats, mmm). Athletic bodies like the ones you featured in the video are so fucking hot to me, and it was able to carry me through the lack of hardcore content. I'm shocked that more people haven't commented on your video having probably the best selection of women with beautiful or cute faces, with incredible bodies. Natural, beautiful and fit as fuck.
While I really enjoy a story with a great plot, I'm really into design and most cock heros are terribly ugly in terms of font selection, colour schemes, background, etc (don't get me wrong; I get off lots and I'm extremely grateful for them being made). I loved how minimal and simple this was, and the lack of plot was refreshing, ONLY because the content was strong enough to carry it through. After going through weird stories about oracles and temples lately (again, don't get me wrong... I LOVED the Island series, one of my favs, but oracles in my porn is pretty weird), it was nice to see lots of girls I'd actually hang out with, doing hot things (chilling with an oracle would be a novelty, I guess).
Thank you so much for the high praise! First, the girls I pick are the ones I can see myself falling for easily. The performers that can show off their personality in a scene are the ones who make my heart flutter. Second, I think you'll like my next Cock Hero a lot. There's a strong story, but judging off of what you wrote, I think it'd resonate with you particularly well!

The "edge now" prompts came a bit abruptly and not really at times where there was a reason for me to be close to the edge. I had to rewind maybe 10 seconds at some of them to get to the edge so I could follow along with the video. Also sometimes the beat was changed a bit abruptly, I think giving a 5 second heads-up for every beat change would be better, as in supermokkori's CHs.
I started to feel the same way when I played through this myself. A fix has already been implemented in my next release. :)
