ADULTS: Do you prefer amateur porn, professional porn or both? Favorite genre? Have you ever been to The Hump Film Festival?


I will be at an amateur showing in San Francisco in a couple of weeks with my sister and some of our friends at the Hump Film Festival.

It is like about 15 short home made amateur films, 5 minutes maximum for each, chosen from hundreds that they review every year. Many are just shot with cell phone cameras. How would you like to be one of the judges that goes through all those to select the best ones? ... lol

They give all audience members a sheet of all the film names and ask you to vote like 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and drop it off on your way out. Then they award prizes to the best amateur porn films based on the audience votes. It is a lot of fun!

We have shot amateur porn many times but only for private use. Many of our friends want us to enter our films in this one, or other amateur contests, to see if one of ours would be selected. They think we would win first place... lol. I doubt it, and we do not aspire to become porn stars anyway, so it's like "No thank you" :)

I know many people dislike, or even hate porn, so obviously this post is not for you. But for those of us that do like it, tell us if you like amateur or professional and what genre of legal porn do you like? Gay, lesbian, bisexual, anal, BDSM etc? ... PLEASE?

  • I never heard of the Hump Film Festival. Luck for you to be going! Sounds interesting. I'd like to vote on the best videos.
    Also, right on to you for making your own personal videos. Maybe you SHOULD sell them and make some money. :-)

    I swear to god, I wish there were places to give suggestions to porn producers, directors and/or cameramen because, for the most part, they suck. It's like they just go to work and go through the motions, as if following directions for building the same model car every day.

    I much prefer amateur stuff. The people are genuine. Most of the women seem to really like sex and their orgasms are authentic. A lot of professional porn stars are terrible. The men just do what they think will make the best video shot but sometimes, based on the way then behave, I wonder if they even like women or know what women like. And the professional women often look like cheep whores, saying stupid shit that they think men want to hear and acting like they are being ripped apart or orgasming when they are not. And then there are the fake tits and over done makeup.
    Plus, every video is formulaic. The first half is blow job. Mouth, cock, slobber, slobber. Golly, how exciting. (sarc.) A minute or two of that is sufficient unless the video is explicitly about blow job.
    Then they proceed to clips of various positions with too many close ups taken from low angles. I like when the camera moves around, and some close ups are fine, but they should show more full views of women's bodies - bouncing, sloshing tits, shuddering hips and thighs, etc. One angle that is almost never shown is of a woman's back, shot from above her head and pointing down toward her ass when she is on her knees with legs spread. A woman's narrow back flaring to soft, wide hips and round bottom; the dimples on her back; the way the fat of her ass bulges to crease where it meets her back; the crease where her thighs meet her hips. It's one of the sexiest things about women. POV shots from behind aren't the same, plus they are almost always to close to get a full view.
    Effort should be made to keep hands, arms and legs from blocking the view.

    I don't really care about story lines. When I watch porn it's to see beautiful female bodies and watch them move while they are being well fucked. And real orgasms are hot as hell.

    The only downside to amateur videos is that the camera is usually static. Or it is hand held and gets POV shots from limited angles and too close.

    Lastly, what the fuck is up with standardized convention of facials? They call it "the money shot" but I I think it's an anticlimax. Did anyone ever take a poll? What guy fucks a woman and then jerks himself off forever in order to get off? Are those guys gay or what? And the women is sitting there with her mouth open but the guy deliberately aims to shoot over her head, in her eyes and up her nose. I'd rather see the women suck him while his cock and balls throb and pump her mouth full. Or have HER jack HIM off at the very end and aim directly into her mouth at close range. Again, why would a guy jack himself off when he is with a woman?

    Those are just a few of my thoughts. Lol Maybe it's too much information or maybe it will inspire some ideas for your next video. Hahahahahaha

  • I wouldn't mind being a judge but, it might get kinda boring.
    I'll go with either one, but, a lot of the pro stuff is kinda fake and easy to tell it's fake.
    My fave kinds are lezzies with toys, creampie, gang bang creampie, SOME bizarre stuff but not most of it, fucking machines, dildo panties, vibrating panties is usually pretty funny, girls drinking their own cum, girls playing with themselves (golf balls, marbles, balloons, eggs, eggcetera) and, in SOME cases, girls acting like it's their first time but, like I said, because it's fake, it tends to get wanky real fast... suddenly, after about 5:00, she knows how to do EVERYTHING!!!

  • Honestly, I wonder why anyone would pay one single cent to see lewd pornographic movies when you can have it free of charge if you know where to look for it.

    What is so different in a cinema where all kind of creepy people have sex than watching it at home? Are those porn movies any different than the ones on those sites?

    • The kind that I am referring to are the kind that you watch at home. I have been too respectful porn theaters that were nice places but the last time there was sex going on in the theater so I didn't sit down and left and don't go to them anymore

  • I've never heard of this event but agree it sounds really fun ! Trying to imagine what might be going on in that audience during the screenings lol !!

    And, yes - amateur stuff is super cool - the people in it are so much more realistic, and it's so much less scripted - lots of fun :-)

    • Now that you bring it up, the preparation for the screening is so hilarious! They talk about how they have had people think that it is OK to disrobe during the films. So they tell all the girls that they have to keep their tops on and the guys that they have to keep their pants on... ... I AM NOT KIDDING! I think if they would allow it more than half the audience would be nude, and doing... well, you know the rest... lol

  • Both. Interracial rough anal.

    • OH MY! ... lol

    • You like?

    • Yes, good choices :)

  • Your friends want you to enter your films into the festival right? What do you have to lose? I think it would be fun to do, you don't have to show your face if that's what your worried about. I'm assuming your friends have seen your videos, because they're telling you to enter them in. I've been known to be a good friend, we should be friends!

  • We attended the 'Hump!' in Rhode Island back in '17. We had fun. We were inspired to submit our own films in '18 but my husband (who I wasn't married to yet) & Dan Savage had big phone & e-mail arguments that later turned into a feud that also involved Dan's husband which led to them dropping our entries from the '18 & '19 festival. I plan to submit "new" material (actually recorded in '19 & '20) for next year but we have yet to settle our differences with Dan and his husband. I will "by hook or by crook" attend next. I passed on this year due to Covid.

    • Did you ever submit content?

  • I like actual home made porn. Lots of OF content creators are pros who self produce. A lot is paid sex workers. It shows when a genuine wife or girlfriend is having good sex for pleasure.

    I have some real, homemade, short videos on well known porn sites, either with past gfs or couples I met for mfm. One ex girlfriend still loves getting new comments 10 years later, knowing strangers are turned on seeing her. A few close friends have seen my stuff, really liked it, were curious about what it's like to have threesomes, complimented me on my performance etc. A big turn on.

  • I mostly love amateur porn, but prefer lesbian.

    • YES! :)

  • Stories

  • I watch both types of porn.

  • When I do watch porn it's definitely homemade amateur videos. Like you say it's much more relatable and realistic to me.

  • I never heard of it but that is interesting , I guess someone has to do it lol as for porn i dont really have a favorite but if the girl is hot then i will watch it lol

  • Yeah I do like both pro porn and amateur one. BJ, anilingus, cunnilingus, and stuff. Or rough sex in the public, etc. That would turn me on soooo well.

    • Wow lots of triggered libtards here downvoted my comment, I guess? :D

    • I am suspecting it is one person that has multiple accounts. They did it to others as well and they all seemed to show up at the same time. ... not to worry :)

    • 😂😂😂😂😂

  • Love the sound of the festival. lol. its on my list of things I'd love to do. Only amature porn I love is a little movie I'm in. Lol. Sounds big headed but it really is amazing. Or that could just be my opinion. Lol. Couldn't enter the festival as it's 19mins long. And don't think I'd be into being a porn star. lol

  • Love amature stuff. I really prefer it over the pseudo glam stuff from the studios.

    But there is no way in hell I will be heading to San Fran or any other event in CA.

    Sorry, but that place has problems and Im avoiding it like the plague.

  • I like home made stuff the most.

  • Either armature or professional girl on girl porn. Their expressions get me the most.

  • professonal porn that is made to like like amateur with a theme. like the schoolgirl. i usually watch the japanese schoolgirl porn. there different parts of the videos I like. first off the schoolgirl wearing the uniform, wearing the regular panties underneith, the schoolgirl is being shy, and the voyuar part where the schoolgirl has her patnies showing on accident in upskirt or low angle. I say regular panties that means a lot of styles, bikini, briefs, hi cut breifs but usually full back. so those are kinds I like a lot of the japanese videos I've seen are bikini style not my favoritie kind of panty but it will do when you see American porn its all thongs. i love seeing something thats not sexy and not ment to be seen cuz its a untended treat. i like the groping chickan gangbang of the schoolgirl girls too, the moment they rip/cut her uniform off and she's left in her regular panties and bra i usually cum. yes i like granny panties, but i like it. cotton panties briefs/hi cut briefs from brands like hanes that come in a pack with the writing on the waistband ever since i was a kid i loved it poking out in the back.

  • I like amature or good quality high def videos of hot girls. A closeup view of a pussy getting eaten, pounded by a dick or dildo gets me off pretty quick.

  • It's nice to mix things up and enjoy all types. Amature, Pro, 80s, all good stuff.

  • Hump film festival? Cool when is it?

    • It depends what city and state you live in, it is touring the US now.

      Go to their website at... https://humpfilmfest.com/

    • You've been there?

    • Yes, this will be my 3rd year :)

    • Show All
  • I prefer amature. I like the idea of the people actually enjoying themselves, but some porn you have to go pro for since it's niche.

    Like incest, female on male "rape" and so on.

  • Porn is really hot.
