Reality porn
Encyclopedia
Reality pornography is a genre of pornography
where staged scenes, usually shot in cinéma vérité
fashion, set up and precede sexual encounters. These scenes may either have the cameraman directly engaging in sex (see Gonzo pornography
) or merely filming others having sex. The genre presents itself as "real couples having real sex". It has been described as professionally made porn which seeks to emulate the style of amateur pornography
. The niche's popularity grew significantly in the latter half of the first decade of the 2000s. Examples include the Girls Gone Wild
and Girls Who Like Girls Series. The work of Bruce Seven
has been called reality porn, due to his not using scripts, and asking his performers to act naturally in their own character.
For legal reasons, the vast majority of so-called reality porn involves professional actors and actresses posing as so-called "amateurs." Even though the women who perform in these films typically appear on many reality websites within a short span of time, most of these websites claim that each female is an amateur.
Another variant of reality pornography consists of normal couples that are filmed by professionals, in which case the only obvious distinction from amateur pornography is the higher quality of production, filming and editing.
