You see that Suelyn Meidoros (?) sextape? That shit DESTROYED her career. The world found out that she wasn't the sex-god that she appeared to be and it moved the hell on. That shit was lame as hell. Then you've got sextapes like Farrah from Teen Mom - that are just... well, its clearly the sex that many don't like to see because of the bolt-ons, and overracting, and general trashiness. There's a balance to it. Its somewhere between that and X-art. That's where the hook is.
What was interesting was his convos about gonzo but his distaste with extreme stuff as a means to make the sex better. To him the problem is one of detachment. Which to me is why he's such a hit with people like myself. He kisses, grabs tit and fucks like there isn't a cam in the room. I prefer that to a guy basically being a fuck doll because "he might ruin that 5 min steady shot of areola."
It's what makes him good - but he's a rare case. He gets to do that because he's the superstar. He's the rare male talent that actually brings the best out of his partner consistently. And he does so without making the scene about him.
The problem is, he's such a pariah when it comes being awesome that certain (crappy) directors (that suck) can't help but make the scene all about him. Whether it be closeups of him, centering on him, or ManuelPenisWorship that they outright ruin good scenes before they even get to editing. I think both he and Tommy Gunn are both top-tier male performers but the problem is that some directors just don't know what to do with them since letting them be awesome on their own is too hard. Or something.
