So what is POV porn in details?
First of all, POV porn is a little similar to gonzo but these two types aren't the same. In POV scenes a shot between 2 characters is made by 2 people because the person who receives sexual gratification holds a camera themselves filming. They aim the camera down at the actor who is performing the sex act. It looks rather like having real sex than being only a spectator.
Of course, POV sometimes breaks the rules. Some shots are made as a circle around the sexually performing model's head. But as usual, in pornography everything is checked in many different ways, it makes it more attractive for viewers who look for new experiences and stimulants.
POV porn vs gonzo pornography
POV shots aren’t Gonzo Porn but they are similar a little. In gonzo shots are made by a person who doesn’t take part in the whole action. It means that for couple shot there is the third person - camera operator, not only 2 people who have sex together.
POV and gonzo are sometimes treated like the same things - for example prizes also for gonzo scenes are draw in POV categories.
Hamedori porn and its similarities to POV movies
Another type of POV porn is Japanese hamedori. In Japan an actor is also a director of a film. Hamedori shots were filmed in the early 1980s but the name started to being used about 1988 and 1989. It was only a small niche that was expanded by V&R Planning and its director, Company Matsuo.
Matsuo worked this way because it allowed him to make women more open and show their real emotions. In Japan, in hamedori acted mainly amateur actresses and it made these shots very popular among viewers.
Do you need VR to watch POV scenes?
VR isn’t necessary to watch POV scenes but some viewers use special sets to enjoy this type of porn more.
You can enjoy POV scenes from your smartphone or PC screen like “normal” adult movies. POV films are made with normal camcorder and thanks to this, your point of view is in the first person but scene width is normal.
In VR scenes are 360 width and viewers can have POV view but it also isn't a rule. There are also third-person options. So POV may be included in VR but VR isn't a necessary part of POV.
Is it worth to watch POV porn?
Some viewers (guys especially) do like watching POV porn. Why? Because they can feel like characters who have the sex they watch in real life. And some just don’t like watching other men on a screen. And it’s very interesting to see scenes from this prospective. On the other hand, there are also men who claim that they don’t like POV because the cock of the actor they can watch is always bigger than their one.
For sure POV porn may be an experience that you should have checked. Only then you can decide if it’s worth to watch it. But it’s worth to try because it’s something different than watching the scene being only a voyeur.
Is it hard to find POV scenes? No, it isn’t. There are a lot of various shots made with this technique. You must know that it’s popular mainly among heterosexual couples (there are a lot of shots with blowjob, for instance) but some videos are made by gay couples. The smallest part of everything are POV films made by lesbian couples. Don’t ask, why? Maybe it’s harder for girls to hold a camera? Or maybe it looks better with dick? No offense, but for sure a spectrum of view is bigger because penis sticks out and it’s more interesting to watch.
So you have already known what POV porn is. Now you can’t be tricked with a view that POV, gonzo and VR are the same, for example. At the end, you should also know that some webcam sites tell that they offer POV shows and you can understand it in 2 ways:
- it may mean CAM2CAM because then you can be with a model face to face with a cam
- it may mean VR technology because some platforms offer it for viewers.
For sure on webcam sites you can't use traditional POV option. But it’s available in many porn movies so it’s enough to find a title that may please you. Don’t be afraid of checking new things! Everybody should try POV. Maybe you’ll fall in love with this option?
