Do You Know What Gonzo Means?
Hey fellow pornies,
 A lot of people don’t really know what Gonzo means. Before I tell you, I’m going to share a secret with you guys: Use Wikipedia for this type of stuff…Most of the time, it’ll be usefull and your understanding of the expression will be clear.
Here’s a fun test to try..Use Wikipedia and check what a “Dirty Sanchez” is…You’ll love it, I’m sure…( BTW, I found out about Dirty Sanchez while readind about the sex tape scandal starring Screetch in Save By The Bell). And no, I’ve never tried it.
So, what were we talking about? Oh yes Gonzo…Ok, I like to say Gonzo is standing between amateur and “pornstar”(the niche)…
“Pornstar” is obviously professionnal. Lighting, make-up, a storyline, a team of producers, cameraman, editing…
Amateur SHOULD be nothing of the above…The actors in such scenes handle the camera..no special lighting, third party camera angle, etc…Actually, the true amateur videos are mostly homemade stuff..You know the type of video you and your wife would do in your bedroom..Actually, lots of our solo girls stuff is true amateur…Check out Christine Young…
Gonzo is amateur, but with a little more technical help like lighting, and maybe a cameraman but nothing really fancy… No storyline, just straight to the point hardcore action…Hardly any editing. Most POV scenes are actually gonzo…

It’s really popular because it’s the real deal. It’s straight”in your face” porn. Shooting a scene takes an hour or two. The result is pretty close to what happened on the set. On the other hand, ”pornstar” porn takes hours and hours, lots of editing, many different angles, etc… The advantage is clearly in the quality of the result…
There are obvious advantages to Gonzo like low cost production and you get the feeling of being closer to the action. There’s also the  advantage of not  hiring a complete team of people to produce porn.
I hope this will have helped you understand the meaning of the Gonzo niche…To complete this class, I guess a couple of recommendations of hot Gonzo sites would be…

and much more…Anyways, you’ll have about 2000 scenes if you click on Gonzo in the list of niche, so have fun!!
