I actually stopped watching American porn years before I even got into JAVs. And yes there was a scene I'd stumble on here and there but I was through actively looking for porn to watch. All the women looked the same to me and more focus was placed on the dudes than I cared for. Majority of the time the dudes would never shut the hell up to the point that it was becoming a distraction. And the women not only looked to much like they all just got off of their plastic surgeons operating table but they kept saying the same shit over and over again like they were just reading off cue cards during sex. It felt so phony and just killed the fantasy aspect. Like what was said earlier, the American porn from the 90's and earlier is so much better than what it is today.
Now I had seen a random JAV scene long ago but turned it off immediately due to the mosaic. That just blew my mind. How can that even be called porn? Well one day I watched another JAV scene with this beautiful milf. It was none other than the big fan-favorite, Natsumi Kitahara. I just watched her performance and I was sold from that point forward. I was a Natsumi crack fiend and I needed my fix. Eventually I saw others and that was the beginning of my journey into JAVs.
Where as American porn just seemed so phony to me. JAVs came off as completely genuine. They concentrate on the details of foreplay & sensuality & providing a storyline, instead of it being just 2 people randomly showing up, the guy shoves the woman's head down on his cock, and then straight to the penetration.
And the real killer for me on how JAV's are WAY better than American porn is how they take advantage of any and every fetish that people might be into. I hadn't really experienced that until I started watching JAV's. Lets have an example:
Long Tongues & Big Lips!!! I'm a big BJ lover, so a woman with either of these is immediately in my crosshairs. In American porn I was a big fan of Lethal Lipps, Kakey, & Menage.
Never understood why they never concentrated on exploiting such an obvious turn-on. Sure they would mention it and give some close-ups ever so often in a sex scene. But those assets were never truly the focus. It was always all about the sex. But in Japan it is the complete opposite. If those JAV companies hire a woman with such distinctive features eventually they will take full advantage of it by shooting films that base the all sexual acts around how they can show off those features. And that is what I love. In JAV's they actually try to provide something for everyone in the absolute best way possible. They don't half-ass anything.
JAV's aren't perfect though. Like what was mentioned earlier, every once in a while the woman's moaning can get overbearing, the use of mosaic is so damn frustrating, and they rely to much on that microphone vibrator. 10 out of 10 times I usually skip that scene. But the pros out weigh the cons. I'm a JAV fan for life.
