Michelle & Stefan: Behind The Scenes

March 4th, 2010

Get the Flash Player to see this content.

As I promised recently, having shot Michelle Thorne with her new fella Stefan, I had something to reveal which I thought would be best said by them in person from an exclusive clip taken from the video shot that day.

To mark my return to shooting, I decided to chronicle the days events as a behind the scenes so that you could see what actually goes on on the day of an actual shoot, right from the packing the car to the drive to the couples home, the chit chat that ensued on the run up to the photo shoot, the video shoot, the breaks, the socialising and everything that makes a Real Couples shoot what it is.

I was surprised to think how things I take for granted actually appeared interesting when it came to condensing the 8 hour day down to the mere 10 minutes and 30 seconds run time. I could have easily had it run to 60 minute feature in itself but decided it was more engaging told in the time it ended up being.

Most interesting to see and hear myself getting all Reverend Al Sharpton about producing porn and new talent. You'd have to hear the lot in context  to know what I was talking about.

Sorry for the lack of quality of the video but it was shot on an avchd HD POV camera which is not as high quality as the camera I use for the actual shoot as you will spot the obvious difference with Michelle & Stefans “revelation towards the end of the video.

I would welcome feed back if you think this is a feature we should include as a regular fixture  in the members area as bonus content and intro the clips here for those who are not members. Members will get to vote on this on the poll inside the site but we aso welcome visitors opinions too.

Cindy & Lee: Home Made Movie #2

March 3rd, 2010

Cindy takes Lee in hand (and mouth) in the bath

Cindy and Lees POV home made video

Cindy and Lee's second home made video has been updated to the site and Ive noticed that Cindy has done a lot of really naughty porn with men other than her husband. You hussy Cindy!

While I wont fly the flag for how hardcore her scene is compared to her more professional efforts, I will say that this is a heartfelt performance with her partner, doing what they like doing. Not every wife? partner likes it up the Khyber Pass (thats ass to our american fans). Well thats not to say we dont like watching it, its just when we know couples are doing it we like to see that they are having a good time doing so and they dont come much realer than a private home made video which was nicely shot by them at their home.

Next time you see them on the site it will be their exclusive scene I shot with them in late 2008.

Poll results: Scene Lengths

February 28th, 2010

We ran a poll in the members area asking people to vote on which scene times they thought were best. The runaway winner by a voting mile was 25-35 mins which I think is a good time to get a typical scene across. Most of you know that the scenes consist of more than just a sex scene and offers you a look into the couples as people in as far as they will allow of course. Also this tells me you like the scenes edited and packed tight. So kind of the way it is at the moment then anyway.

The runners up was 15-25 mins which someof the videos, particularly the viwers submissions stuff has been running for at least. In truth these scenes are usually what they are and probably wouldnt warrant a longer run time anyway, averaging out as they do about the 17 to 20 minute mark.

Third result was 15 minutes. Again, unless the partner made her fella shoot his wad quick we wouldnt have too many scenes at this length anyway and not sure how I would do justice to a scene if I had to whittle away a scene in post to arrive at this length. it can be done but htink about all that really good stuff I would have to compromise to get in at that time.

I can only equate that too going to a restaurant and ordering a steak and the waiter coming back with a quarter pounder!

Thanks to all our members who voted. I do take the results of these polls on board as an indication of what you like and will always work to the needs and requirments of you, our members. Thanks again.

Michelle Thorne & new boyfriend Stefan Hard

February 23rd, 2010

When i said show me some pink I didnt mean you Stefan!!!

When i said show me some pink I didnt mean you Stefan!!!

I'm not sure this shoot would have ever happened if I had not been driving past Bristol a few weeks ago. I have this tendency to call people if I'm in the vicinity and pop in for a cuppa as one tends to with their familiars. As it happens Michelle was on her way to London and through conversation dropped in all matter of factly that she was seeing someone from the porn industry to which my next question was obvious. Who was the new lucky fella?

I was kind of suprised because this is the first time that Michelle has actually gone out with a guy who had performed previously. Her previous two partners did not start out being porn stars and nor did they end up being regular performers with the exception of one other who ended up settling down with Michelles now ex.

Stefan has been on this site before with his then ex Elizabeth Michelle Lawrence but that was so long ago, like 6 years long ago where he admitted he was actually quite a shy guy. I remember him being so too

All I can say is it was a welcome return to Real Couples and I can lay claim to one other thing now: That I'm the only person I know to have filmed Michelle with all her boyfriends over the course of 10 years knowing her.

Zoiks has it been that long!!!!!

Be sure to stay tuned in as I have a revelation to make about these two that would make for good gossip, but you will have to watch it. Let me just get my hair in rollers, my pinny on, light up a cigarette and lean on the fence with a rolling pin. Gimme a couple days on that will you?

Actually its so good that I had to get their blessing on this and I have to edit a special part of the video to show you…Yeah its that interesting. can you guess what it is yet?

Broadcast Expo and Beer and Bollocks

February 19th, 2010

Beer and Bollocks with Linzie Dawn McKenzie

Lynsey Dawn Mckenzie...Also available with boobs

What a jam packed day it was on wednesday. i went to the broadcast Video Expo at Earls Court to ogle the latest in video cameras as well as pick up the odd bits and pieces. You cant go to these things and not end up spending money and to be honest you can get a few bargains there cheaper than out of the exhibition so its all worthwhile. I was invited as a VIP and was surprised my head actually fit through the door! Not that being a VIP meant anything mind, excpet maybe get you into areas that the general public couldnt or probably wouldnt want to go.

Check out the stereoscopic cameras and was very impressed. This is 3D to you and me but not sure about Real Couples in 3D anytime too soon.

Big fat shout out and thanks to the Epoch chaps for throwing a nice spread for the webmaster community over at Beer and Bollocks. Got to chinwag with an affiliate who I think talked his ears off so hard about porn that his ears caught alight. Still it was nice to see the odd familiar face, jerry Barnet at Strictly Broadband always gets an unfair kicking but takes it with a big smile on his face. Recently made reducndant from harmony Jason Maskell (didnt look down and certainly far from being out)….ooh-ooh-ooh and Disney Lawn Mackenzie…ha ha she had a giggle at me calling her that. I shouldve asked her if she'd be on Real Couples. I slipped up there then. Anyway I hear shes contracted at Blue Bird so fat chance of that then.

Can't believe we all were in the same room and not one fight or quarrel was had. Made my day you all did. Goes to show we can all get along and make merry when we get together. I wish it was like this everyday. LOL

Outdoor fun at night with Bex & Lee

February 16th, 2010

Bex and Lee get rude outdoors at night

The view was great from where Lee was standing

Gotta hand it too Bex and Lee. They had so much fun the first time out that they wanted a second outing with us here at Real Couples.

The gold shoes and red stockings were no fashion faux pas neither because Bex wanted to be a trashy slut, a ghetto queen getting it hard in the mouth and pussy on the grubby stairs of the estate where they lived. All done tongue firmly in cheek mind, except when she had Lees big cock jammed in her mouth sucking on it ravenously. For th ins and outs of this you will have to read the diary in the members area.

The weather and time of day just added atmosphere to the proceedings. All we needed was thunder and lighting and it would have been so cool if Lee flung her down, screaming and kicking on the bonnet of a car in the torrential downpour but the reality of this is, I'm not covered by insurance if they got struck by frickin lightning as you can bet that is the sort of thing that would ruin a perfectly good shoot. So we kept the action inside the stairway of the building. Just to play it safe.

Colourful prose aside, Bex and Lee eschew all the values that we look for in our couples and they are an absolute joy to work with and Bex promises when she returns again she wants to do something even ruder. I fo rone like the sound of that.

Coming To A TV Near You Soon: Lisa & Tommy

February 11th, 2010
Lisa & Tommy did it to pay for the wedding

Lisa & Tommy did it to pay for the wedding

Just finished my interview with RTL with regards the couple that did porn to pay for their wedding. I was asked some interesting questions and hopefully these will make it to the final edit but you never know. Such is the risk of doing tv and the edit is in their hands you can never be sure of the outcome but I never let that put me off as long as the site is given a mention, which I was asssured that it will be unless it is turned around to warn couples that I am some dodgy pervert  to be avoided at all costs in which case its suitcases packed time and litigation city here I come!!!!

It was interesting to note, and be asked my opinion about Lisa and Tommys regret doing porn. it seems their regret was based on both their mothers finding out. Now how exactly did that happen when the frickin video isnt even out yet or even due out this year even!!!!! I hardly had to pause for thought on this since it was them that went out of their way  by telling all in Love It magazine recently (see here on this blog)…Then I know for sure they wouldnt be doing this TV spot with RTL for nothing so hardly sounds like a regret to me unless its done in a “Ok so we got busted by our parents so lets rinse this for as much as we can” Mty concience is clear as far as Im concerned. They got in touch with me. i shot them for the site, paid them and got consent paperwork signed. I am not peoples moral guardians as Ive said. people are old enough to decide for themselves what they want to do in life.

You can see my response to their regret doing porn on the report when it comes out. I was asked some other relevant questions to what I do and all in all both chaps seemed like they were just doing their job well and non judgemental so hopefully it should turn out ok.

If I had one regret, its that I wont be able to exploit er….(cough)…capitalise on the use of the video in time for the aired broadcast of their report and the truth of the matter is, while Lisa and Tommy asked me as a favour to help them out it wasnt done with the promotion of the site in mind. You might think me annoyed but in fact I am not because in some roundabout way there is no such thing as bad publicity and helps the public awareness to the site and what I do that can only mean more couples will be interested in appearing on the site.

Doing videos seems to be the sign of the times and while some may regret doing it (as Lisa and Tommy have said)  then if they didnt do it how were they to know they would regret it? Its that old saying about try anything once….” Lets face it, deep down you  know you are going to get found out  and I'm sure thats part of the turn on in doing it in the first place.

The other way of looking at it is that people are so blinded by the glitter and lure of making money they forget that their actions have consequences later and its not as if I dont discuss this with couples who raise the topic of  them being discovered. I cannot provide guarantees. How can I when it comes to the internet? I dont know you or who you know

This wouldnt be the first time RTL have interviewed me either since RTL2 featured a spot on me in my gonzo producing days nearly 10 years ago so they seem to be friendly to us in porn.

I will keep you posted as to when this show will be aired

Couples Caution: Doing Porn Can Wreck Your Relationship!

February 9th, 2010
Elle and Ian: Still together and going strong

Elle and Ian: Still together and going strong

I bet you'd never thought I would say anyhting that would put you off doing Real Couples did you? well, not so much put off but inform you of the realities of your decision in case you are interested in taking your wants and needs to the next level.

Couples doing porn for the first time can expect it to be an exciting  and liberated thing to do but it can also have explosive consequences of the dramatic kind if not thought through properly.

I was on facebook talking to the female half of a couple I shot way back in the early days. I will leave her name out of it as it wouldnt be fair to discuss something that was private but the topic was relevant.

This particular couple got into the porn industry and it was the beginning of the end of their relationship as they knew it. This was of particular concern to me because it pricked my conscience thinking that I was doing something that was destroying a relationship rather than liberating them. It turned out I did,  if they just stuck to working together and didnt go all out in porn to make that money by working with other people.

To my mind, couples agreeing to do porn is an adventurous thing not unlike Bonnie and Clyde going on robberies and holding up banks then going to some sleazy hotel throwing the money on the bed giggling like mischievous delinquents as they shagged each others brains out silly so I delved deeper with my questioning to find  I was in the all clear because the root of their problem was deciding to perform without each other being present.

Couples deciding to do porn are usually in love and exhibitionist enough to let other people see them having sex. Hell, some go out of their way to get caught knowing that someone is watching them getting it on and even more exciting if they know that someone is jacking off furiously watching them. Humans are so complex in that way.

Anyway, so back to this couple. They were married, got into porn with the full understanding it was work and even had a target amount of money to make £100, 000 was there goal and they were out for good back to their home country to buy a ranch and raise kids and never look back. The reality was, they exceeded  this goal, went back home and then it all went to hell. They did more than just porn to meet that goal. Escorting, parties and generally anything that made money and brought them closer to their goal.

The boyfriend became a drug addict, the wife resented her fella for fucking so many girls, resented girls who enjoyed him and wanted extras after the shoot (this does go on), then they seperated and went their own ways but then over the years their feelings returned and are thinking of making a go of it again. She admits that the excess of their lifestyles were at the core of their love destructing the way it did.

Its not even as if they cheated on each other, which Im sure a lot more people could understand, or even fell out of love.

I think, if there is a moral to this story then it is if you do this as a couple, then dont sell out for the money. Be absolutely sure that both parties are ok with everything you decide to do. If either of you end up doing something as a threesome then this is ok but be mindful of your partners feelings too. Expect they will enjoy the person they are doing the threesome with because if you have any insecurities it could set in like cancer and rot out the inside of your relationship beyond repair.

So take heed. I dont act as moral guardian on these issues and maybe I should put up a legal diclaimer but feel this is not necessary as working with adults should also mean they are emotionally stable and mature enough to arrive at decisions like this by themselves

Return to the trenches

February 4th, 2010

Looks like Sunday the 21st of February will mark my return to shooting for Real Couples. It will be at least 7 months since my last shoot with Kelly Mariner and Pascal who was close to giving birth and already has since October.

I'm keeping silent as to whom Im shooting for now until I am actually at her house physically taking pics and shooting video of her in sexual congress with her new partner in case I jinx it by saying. Working with couples is not merely a job. We are talking about feelings here and if the balance isnt right on the day it could easily go wrong and not happen….So, sshhh!

It could easily go wrong in the middle of a shoot anyway as it did a  fair few years ago when she was with her previous partner and they did the unbelievable thing of having sex while constantly sniping at each other (but  that content is not aviable on this site, though it should be). I got as far as shooting the behind the scenes stuff but they never made it to the sex so the shoot stopped there.

I dont intend to repeat that.

Worse case scenario, if I dont get a shoot the main reason I decided to go along with it is because she has also granted me an interview for the documentary movie I am shooting about the UK porn biz. Thi si the first time I have even written about this outside of a bunch of fellow associates in the biz so we'll see if anyone actually reads these revelations.

Her entree would be the 5th  I've covered so far which isnt bad as I had earmarked a dozen contributors from the porn world to be in on it but it may well be a lot more. Anyway, time and place. All will be revealed in due course.

Do I hear a round of applause?? Anyone? Hello?

Echo…echo..echo…..
