The Underrated or Severely Overrated Porn Stars Or Porn ANYTHING THREAD

I don't know if she's underrated since I don't know her popularity levels but Reiko is also one of my favourite matures. She has a great but mature body. She's not pretty but she's hot. Her fucking performances are really good. She know how to move. And when she orgasm (I should check if she fakes it) I literally explode.

Talking about boring actresses... What do you think about Honjo Shuzu? Her beauty is astonishing but I've always found her performances kinda lacking.
I don't know this actress. I will have to see if I recognize her. I hear she supposed to be good but...
 
There is a recent thread that relates to this, and there, I expressed my view on Japanese beauty. I took a look at Honjo Shuzu now, and even though she would kinda fit on my "Exotic Beauty" list in yet another related thread, I wouldn't call her astonishingly beautiful. Beauty is subjective, and yet, some girls (and guys) feel that they deserve special treatment just because they are beautiful. In my opinion, this is almost never the case with porn. Beautiful doesn't equal sexy, and sexy doesn't equal good wank material

Like, there is Tsukada Shiori whom I wouldn't call beautiful, and in some titles she doesn't even look that pretty, but boy, is she sexy. Then there is another almost unknown favorite of mine, Takagi Chisato, who is just plain-looking, and yet, for me, she is extremely sexy due to her skills and the contrast it creates ("such a plain girl has such great oral skills and lewdness potential?!.")

There are girls who are pretty, sexy and wank-worthy, and in JAV, I would name quite a few, including some of those in my Top 10, and some beyond that, like Amaharu Noa maybe, or Suzu Yamai, or Natsume Airi. Again, subjective, but I think those are all different things (i.e. beauty, sexiness and wank-worthiness are different metrics)
Noa is underrated. I hope she doesn't get too pigeon-holed with the hardcore stuff or that she burns out. I miss Airi Natsume. She was Tsubomi-like to me.
 
Overrated
1. Pretty much almost every single S1 exclusive actress. they only have big boobs and cute face but their performance are sooo boring
I have watched some S1 vids and I more or less agree. They just need better direction though
2. Yuna Shiina : I used to like her during her first run but ever since her comeback she became total boredom to watch
Someone already said that pre-retirement Yuna was awesome, and I agree
3. Julia : Just like Yuna Shiina, used to love her during 2010-2011 run. but now she's playing too safe and her movies are just boring
She plays is a little safe, but her hip control is more interesting than before. Her BJs are boring though
4. Mio Kimijima : I don't know how she's lasting this long. her acting sucks and her performance is mediocre
5. Eimi Fukada : Many already mention her. she's mediocre as hell
She is/was consistent but she's had her moments. Definitely overrated for the amount of attention she received though.
6. Aimi Yoshikawa : Same reason with Eimi Fukada
The worst of this group
7. Ai Kano : Obviously fake bookbs and obviously fake tits. there's nothing real about her. she's just living sex doll. i might overlook her fakeness if her performance and acting is good but it's not
I don't love the overly surgery look, but she has her moments. I've seen throw it back in a hot way. Either she isn't consistent or her direction isn't good. But she has potential
3. Yuu Kawakami : She's better than Yumi Kazama and Chisato shoda combined. has wide range and can play any role perfectly
I definitely disagree that she's better than Yumi. I've already cited EMU-054 and I've never seen a BJ video from Yuu that competes. Same goes for the soapland video.

Underrated!!! Mako Oda. The first one I think of "as my Auntie, Mommy, Wifey" dreams next to...
Reiko Kobayakawa another great actress. Both who fulfills my Mommy, Auntie, Wifey fantasies all-in-one.

Few actresses can do all three and not break the fantasy for me.

But I'm not talking about them, it's all about the underrated Mako Oda.
Beautiful woman with dimples and incredible big eyes. Long black hair. If she ever cuts it I will die:confused:

A womanly body that plumb in all the right places. Full big tits and big ass.
She is rather soft spoken in her movies but that what makes her gentle and warm to me.

She is one of JAV underrated who doesn't get enough attention I feel.
Most of her movies land for me because she is in them. So I might be bias.:p
Would love to see her do a bus tour guide porn IF she haven't already.

Minami Momo... I don't think she gets enough love.

Few years ago she starred a lot of movies but seems like in the last 2 years she just appears in those movies that feature more than 5 actresses.

Yeah, she's not pretty, but she has "something". A sexual rawness whose presence makes you skip a beat.

Actually, this gets us back to the whole beauty thing. Like, I wouldn't say she's not pretty. She is a bit pretty at least, and she is cute, and sexy (as in, like, if I was pounding her like in the first pic you attached, seeing her reacting like that, I would want to both pound her more and hug her at the same time, and kiss her, both out of passion and because I feel she is pretty and cute at least to some degree, same as most Japanese and Asian girls are, as I wrote recently in that other thread)

What she might be not is beautiful. Like, for me there are some gradual scales — and some independent

Sexiness (from "doesn't make my D move even a bit" to "raging instant boner")
Cuteness (from "I don't care what happens to her" to "I want to protect her with all my might")
Beauty (from "ugly", though it's all subjective and mean, to plain-looking, to pretty, to beautiful, to divine)

So, three independent scales
For example, that weather anchor from a Japanese channel that has had a lot of drama round her not so long ago is average in terms of beauty, but she is cute as hell. Sophie Dee is like 80/100 sexy for me at least, and she is still cute, though she was much cuter (while just a bit less sexy) when she didn't have the implants etc. Briana Banks in her prime is 90/100 sexy for me (though she has a flat butt), but she is hardly cute at all (I guess that's similar to "hate fuck", i.e. when you would totally have sex with somebody, but wouldn't even call them a taxi or give them a decent towel afterwards)

Thus, Minami Momo, though I haven't seen her in action (so, judging just by the pics), is from average to a bit pretty in terms of beauty, she is quite cute (as most Japanese girls are for me), and she is quite sexy (with those big tits, and I actually like them in that shape and sagginess), so...

Sexiness: 65/100
Cuteness: 60/100 (most Japanese girls are at least 55 for me on that scale)
Beauty: 55/100
Total: 60/100

Something like that roughly

I decided to give a quick self-reflection score to Kaho Shibuya...

Sexiness: 85/100 (best tits by my standards, though her butt is average; her skills are good at least in most areas, but she might be overdoing her reactions)
Cuteness: 65/100 (I followed her on Twitter for some time even, though you might have guessed that I have this mixed attitude towards her: "she has such perfect tits that if she ever gets a husband, and a baby, then I'll do my best to forget about her)
Beauty: 65/100 (I mean, to be honest, I don't think Momo and Kaho are that far from each other in this regard, but I still like Kaho's looks better)
Total: 71.7/100

Seems quite strict, right? But at the same time, it's interesting. Like, I don't really know a Western pornstar, for example, who would be very high on all three of the metrics

And just to give you some examples of those whom I find really beautiful: Kaise Anju is like 80/100, Natalia Vodyanova is like 80 to 85/100 when she looks her best, and Rose Leslie (specifically as Ygritte, in GOT, with red hair and freckles, which are one of my fetishes) is like 90/100. So, yeah, I guess it goes to show that I find a lot of Western girls more beautiful, but the Japanese are more cute more often


I gave it a little more thought, and I now think that there is an important metrics missing here, even though it's not about appearance per se: if we think about it in terms of porn specifically, sexiness is not just about looks, it's also about performance. I thought about it when Rion came to my mind: i think she has one of the best tits in the biz, and she is obviously pretty to beautiful, but she seems to be aiming to get by on her voluptuousness alone, not putting in a lot of effort action-wise (i.e. a sexy bod but a shitty lay)

So, if we update the metrics in accordance with that and apply those to Rion...

(v1.1)
Sexiness (from "doesn't make my D move even a bit" to "raging instant boner"), consisting of
  • Sexual appeal (the "three sizes", the "(potential) porn energy", the "carnal part of the charisma", i.e. the "animal magnetism" and all that)
  • Performance (how good she is as a sexual partner; roles can be different, but I think we can agree that still, there are "bad lays" and "good lays"... and then there are beasts like Hamasaki Mao, who has not just potential but actual porn energy going very high)
Cuteness (from "I don't care what happens to her" to "I want to protect her with all my might")
Beauty (from "ugly", though it's all subjective and mean, to plain-looking, to pretty, to beautiful, to divine)

RION:
Sexiness: 75/100 (appeal), 50/100 (performance), and I'm very generous with this one because I haven't watched much of her works... since the ones I have watched are quite boring
Cuteness: 60/100; surprisingly to myself, she is not that cute; she's one of those rare Japanese girls who are more about sexiness and beauty
Beauty: 75/100 (again, I would say that most people around the world would call Rion beautiful, myself included)
Total: 65/100

(This seems quite on point actually, since I would definitely put her considerably higher overall than Momo, yet considerably lower than Kaho)

I'm a sucker for asian girls, so even if I think she's pretty, I always talk down what I really think about their prettiness bc in my books, 75% of asian women are pretty. Something I know it's not real.
