Sometimes, it’s not what you watch. It’s how you watch it.

Kelly Christiansen knows that she's the one you paid to see.

Back in the old days (and for me, that was the late 1970s and early 1980s), if you wanted to see a porn movie, you basically had three choices: 1.) Go to a peep show emporium; 2.) Set up your 8mm projector in your basement, watch one of those old Swedish Erotica reels and hope the sprockets didn’t break; 3.) Go to an adult theater.

I don’t know about you, but I usually opted for No. 3., which entailed the following: 1.) Finding a seat as far from another person as possible (for obvious reasons); and then 2.) Sitting there and watching the entire movie (or movies, usually) from beginning to end, meaning all the sex and all the plot/acting in-between, hoping and waiting for something good to happen. And if it did, I’d have to wait another few hours if I wanted to see it again. Watching a porn movie was a very frustrating, very linear experience.

Of course, all that changed with videos and, then, DVDs, and, now, high-speed streaming videos online. You know, there are times when I pine for the days when I’d go to the adult theaters in Bay Shore, New York and Syracuse (the Westcott) and sit there for hours watching Desiree Cousteau and Seka. And then I come to my senses and think, “Idiot, those might have been the old days, but they definitely weren’t the good old days.”

Now, we watch what we want when we want it and in total privacy. We used to have to sit through a half-hour of Jamie Gillis making believe he was acting before getting what we paid our five bucks to see. Now, if I want to see Kelly Christiansen giving a blow job and not watch the setup, I can be there in seconds. Cum shot? No problem. I’m there. Instant gratification, and if I want to watch something again, I do it. No waiting. And no creepy seatmates, either. (One time at the “Triple Treat Theater” in Show World on Eighth Avenue in NYC, I noticed that the guy two seats down had his cock out and was jacking wildly; I moved just in time.)

Which brings me to the point of today’s Blog: How do you watch hardcore (or even solo) videos, either on SCORELAND or on DVD?

I’m guessing that a lot of you watch a scene straight-through (meaning from start to finish) the first time, then for all subsequent viewings, you jump right to your favorite moment or moments. But maybe some of you NEVER watch a scene from start to finsh. Maybe you’re always fast-forwarding and jumping around until you get to the key (jackable) moment. Of course, if you never watch a scene from start to finish, you might be missing out on some good stuff.

What’s your adult video viewing technique?
