My new 1 just passed the 30 minutes-mark so I was wondering: how much longer? 8-)

it depends on the mood, but I think it should be below 45 mins

I think there's already a lot of longer ones out there, I'd like to see some shorter ones, not everyone has the time/energy to put aside 2 hours after work for a tease :P

The longer it is, the more difficult it becomes for a creator to keep the viewer engaged. It's a simple truism. So the trick is, to keep adequate variety and spice going on well into the latter portions of the vid. There are several ways this can be done, of course, but my best experiences have been, when the creator brought about some kind of foreshadowing during earlier rounds of what will be happening in later rounds. You have to remind us, in round 4, that round 1 told us how hot round 7 is going to be. Foreshadowing, building upwards from softcore to hardcore at a reasonable rate, using the same girls in accelerating degrees of undress or hardcore-ness, etc.. Also, getting the viewer to go into "the zone," also known as "the stare" or "highway hypnosis." If you can get me into that mental state, where I'm focused on the screen with kind of bug-eyed obsession, my stroking is basically taking place "on its own," and the stimulation of each new scene is something that I am just "into" automatically, THEN the length of the video can be further extended. If to the contrary you start to annoy me with beats that are simply literally too fast for any human hand to move, or with complicated insertions of novel ideas in the beat or in the scenery then I'm likely to lose interest. It's the same for making a CH vid as it is for making any feature movie -- the degree of keeping the viewer's interest with novelty, as opposed to losing the viewer's interest with excess novelty, is a very subtle judgment call, something that even the experts cannot always master. Good luck! :)

Uhm yeah. What book_guy said. :-D

It depends on the difficulty and quality of the whole video. If it's good and engaging it can go on forever (kinda ;-) ) and it would still be fun. If it's bad and poorly executed then 10 minutes might already be too much.
