No more storylines in porn movies


From worstpreviews, When pornographic movies first started including storylines and dialogue, it was a big deal and changed the industry. But that is now over, since pornographers are focusing less on narrative arcs and more on the action (sex). The reason.... the internet.

"On the Internet, the average attention span is three to five minutes," said Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment. "We have to cater to that."

Vivid, one of the most prominent pornography studios, makes 60 films a year. Three years ago, almost all of them were feature-length films with storylines. Today, more than half are a series of sex scenes, loosely connected by some thread that can be presented separately online. Other major studios are making similar shifts.
