Wow, Deez...Yeah I remember days when they had those smaller tapes, forget the size, but not 16mm, anyway back in the day...some drinking buds collected together after drinking some, one sez, hey wanna see some Johnny Wad in action? I mean at the time everybody knew who John Holmes was, right? So this guy had a player which projected on a small white screen and he could run it at regular speed, slow motion, or in reverse in slow mo, or regular or fast...anywho...the copious loads that guy did, then in reverse he was like a vacuum cleaner.. Kinda gross talking about it now, but at the time it was hilarious...but nobody could watch that too much, everybody got up to go somewhere, and get with their main squeeze of the day...again, just looking back, which is not so good. Johnny Wad...had a lot of chicks clamoring to be in flick with him. Bad ending tho...

The house had a several 16mm film reels. There were a few black and whites that must've been shot in Mexico. The females all looked Latina in garter belts and silk stockings. Of course, the guys were hairy, wearing their black dress socks while doing the horizontal Mambo. Johnny Wad, Seka and Aunt Peg were the Swedish Eriotica brand 8mm film faves. VHS came into popularity after I graduated.

Well, maybe I haven't seen the right ones, but there weren't any moves I noticed that inspired me to awe or imitation. There is admittedly a kick in watching gonzo vids as opposed to slick, orchestrated and hyper-edited professional porn, but watching an endless BJ performed mechanically with little variation in tempo or technique by a fugly laundry lady gets old fast. Same for seeing some overweight monger pounding away in mish or doggie at an equally overweight provider. Add to that the generally piss-poor lighting and the single unchanging camera angle, and you've got a vid with little pud-pounding appeal. On the other hand, I have seen one or two where the provider figured out she was being recorded and went off! Those were mildly entertaining.

When you say "went off!", I take it you mean she got into it and really became turned on as she figured it was to cement her performance as good or great for posterity or she might get a copy later or it just unleashed her instincts, in any case she performed better than if she just was going through the motions? Could happen I am sure...am sure we all know some who enjoy making a lot of noise especially when they have to know it will be heard beyond the walls of the room she is in...had one provider who knew the more noise she made, the more she turned on her partner and even the mms and girls at the place would get off on hearing her perform. The mms worried that sooner or later it might be an issue in case LE came in at the time going on. I was with her in action once at a nameless joint when the owner had a phone company doing a security upgrade and the crew had to go on the roof of the building during the install, and we could hear the workers up there above us...I protested to her that they most likely could hear us and she told me, don't worry about it, they are workers busy with their job and you are paying customer here to enjoy, and I want you to have good time...bless her heart...she convinced me and we both got loud as hell, I figure the workers must have been up there sporting wood and creaming their jeans, but their super gathered the team once they got done and got them all in the truck to leave. I would not put it past any of them to come back on their own time though. This chick was wild as hell, no fake sounds from her...my former ATF.

Uh, I guess I wasn't clear. When I said "went off," I meant not in a good way.

"What this? What you do? You bad man! Motherfucker!"

most AMP providers are against any photo/video, and feel very insecure, for obvious reasons. I read about a couple of cases where a hidden cam was discovered by the provider, and it got very ugly afterwards.

Somebody recorded crazy Julie in Anaheim!?

Yeah, that's true. Occasionally AMP or AAMP providers will let me snap a pic of them in BD suit/working attire.

There was a Chinese provider working at the 6 off of Westminster and the 405 who wanted new pics for her BP ad. After the session, she asked me to snap some with her iPhone. I tried to be serious but it was funny trying to take pics and trying to keep her face, nips and the cooter covered. LOL! I never saw her ad with my pics, tho.

Oh yeah, now I finally get ya. I remember some talking about them catching someone trying to record with their phone camera without asking permission. Ya, if someone trys that without them knowing, no doubt they fear the worst, and they might even be paranoid that if they gave the OK, or it was discovered by management they might lose their jobs too because management is going to assume they knew what was going on. Another reason why privacy is valued by all involved.

I can imagine and the guy probably got banned, or at minimum they might check his pockets, etc.
