Vice Explores The Makings Of A Good Porn Script

Anyone who has seen a porn knows that there's just frankly not a lot of work that goes into the script writing process. As a matter of fact, those of us that fancy themselves writers often cringe in horror when a porn gets to a dialogue scene. It's not unlike a cut scene in a video game, you just want it to end so you can get back to the good stuff.

In a continued attempt to assert themselves as actual journalists, Vice (link below) decided to investigate the creation of porn scripts to determine what makes one good. And what better place to start that investigation than by talking to pornstars extraordinaire Manuel Ferrara and Kayden Kross on the set of their newest film, Manuel DPs Them All.

Kayden and Manuel began the writing process by setting “parameters,” or outlining the type of sex they'd have to include. In this instance, they were tasked with plotting out four DP scenes with four different girls, which would take place over the course of two and a half or three hours. They mentioned that the story is not normally of consequence, nor is the dialogue. As Kayden told me, “At the end of the day they want what makes them aroused—so if the dialogue contributes to that, great, but 70 percent fast-forward through it.”

At least they can acknowledge that most people don't give a shit about the plot. And lest you think pornstars are not literate, Kayden would like to dispel that rumor...

“The thing is that every story has already been told," Kayden said to me. "There are only so many archetypes—everything kicks back to another previously told story.” She rattled off a few narratives she’d like to bring in, including a porn rendition of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. 

Yup, you read that right. The Fountainhead, the legendary story of a visionary architect who rapes a woman and then creates a nude sculpture of her because "you can't tell him what to do, he's a capitalist dammit!"    

Here's the entire script, in all its glory, for your perusal. Good luck getting through it.
