[edit] POV

If I got it correctly POV is 1st person pornography. Please verify X-Rated Critics Organization gives out awards for POV movies. Note that there is several separate categories for gonzo pornography. I'm quite sure that they are two different things. --Easyas12c 20:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, but I find it's closely related to Gonzo, at least in terms Gonzo pornography is defined here at wikipedia: "This filming style often tries to create the illusion of placing the viewer directly into the scenes. Gonzo puts the camera right into the action -- often with one or more of the participants both filming and performing sex acts -- unlike conventional porn, which usually depicts less-intense sexuality."

I think the difference is that POV can be of high quality and doesn't have to be amateurish at all. The films are shot in a way that makes the watcher feel (s)he is part of the action, but the scenes can be shot in a studio environment by experienced cameramen, instead of the pornographic actor himself. In return gonzo pornography seems to be just pornographic gonzo. --Easyas12c 09:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

At present, I feel someone (with better english and knoledge than me) should place a note linking each article (stub) to the other, describing what they have in common, and also a note (more important) describing the differences, and how can somebody classify a film in one category or other.

[edit] Links and Stub message

'This pornography-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.'

- hmm... "expanding" might not be the right word here...

...and the links, are those really necessary?

Be brave. --Easyas12c 01:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok. As you're not a registered user I'll remove the links. One of them doesn't even work. How ever I do understand that such links are given pointing to an example. But of course it is hard to know which example would be most appropriate. Anyone willing to shoot POV pornography for Wikimedia Commons? ;-) Just joking. How ever I do believe that the article can be improved in some ways. Maybe having a peer review would be a good idea. --Easyas12c 01:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
