My friend in the industry said he received an email from one of the studios he works for stating filming won't resume until August or September as "porn" isn't considered an essential business for it to resume filming during Phase 1 or Phase 2 of Post Quarantine Lockdown. I also saw a female performer tweet about how things are still looking bleak for the porn industry.

When do you guys think filming will begin again? I understand why studios are waiting as long as possible but I do feel for the performers who need that money.

This is sad... but I do believe most of the businesses, including adult industry will be back to normal operation in August.

Probably this will be the catalyst for further change in the industry as more and more performers look to take control of their own content. If performers can find a way of providing higher quality material as opposed to the short snippets and dodgy angels, it may be difficult for the established porn companies to re-establish themselves.

Yeah that's the problem. A lot of performers do not know how to edit their videos or film good content which in result we get crappy short videos on their OF/JFF pages. I have seen some performers get really creative during quarantine and I do think many performers are going to start relying on their OF/JFF material as I can see the porn industry slowly fade away. Porn will always be there but with OF and JFF not slowing down anytime soon I'd say a decline is quite inevitable. Am now hearing people at Brazzers are even considering waiting til October. People seem to think that once quarantine is over everything will be open again but that's not true. There's going to be multiple phases before everything officially opens and experts are already saying Phase 1 can take several months to a whole year. Unfortunately the porn industry doesn't fall under Phase 1 or Phase 2. Concerts, festivals and shows are also not expected to return for a long time. My friend also confirmed that there is a lot of uncertainty with multiple studios and that even August might seem a bit optimistic but I'm hoping it's no later than August as I know people who in the industry who are struggling and unfortunately weren't qualified for stimulus checks. Onlyfans/JFF money can only take you so far. OF/JFF is easier money for women as they have a much bigger audience and higher demand.

I hope the quality of material improves when porn resumes but that probably requires a reduction in content, which for my mind is a worth while trade off.

Brazzers for example has lots its way, why it needs to have all of these stupid parodies or constantly matching young 20 something teen male actors with 40 year old milf actresses and having them act out a scene where the male actor pretends he has never seen a pair of boobs before is absurd and not funny - I am a big fan of young straight male performers like Tyler Nixon and Ricky but sometimes it looks absurd when some of these actresses have bigger thighs than their entire bodies.

Looking at the gay industry, I find the highly edited perfection porn of Bel Ami, Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher increasingly tiresome and Men is just absurd, people want to see people have hot sex, they don't need to be doing it in a swamp with an alligator watching.

Porn industries need to find a balance between the low quality but ultimately endearing reality and hotness of Only fans and the highly edited fantasy nature of porn right now, I used to love the snippets at the end of Sean Cody videos which included bloopers and just conversations with the performers, which made them real people, not just performing monkeys. I think I for one would be much more inclined to sign up to studios if they allowed their performers to show a a bit more personality - that is the real joy of Only fans.
