I have an appt soon with a very lovely lady, who doesn't get reviewed here, but is with body miracle and E2k.

I am going to have the opportunity to film our time together but wanted to know if there is a pill, or drink out there to increase your "load volume".  I have a good refractory period and can keep wood, but she loves facials, and aside from "refraining" I am looking for a good way to increase VOLUME for our next encounter.

In particular I was looking for fasteddie's or singleton's take on this as they are old hands at the snake ranch.

v/r

I used a couple bottles of a pill called Volume Pills the last few months, you can buy them at www.volumePills.com I think, lets just put it this way on a recent trip to Vegas, I popped nine times in about 3 1/2 days and not one was any less in volume than the other, So I guess you could say they worked. or maybe it was all in my head

But I think other than those, just eat right, hold off for a few days or a week if you can and you should be fine

A lot of the "Load Volume" you see done in movies is pina colada mix shot with a turkey baster (ROTFLMAO).

faithless, as an aside to the question you've asked, I hope you have some experience behind the camera and understand lighting. If a major part of your fantasy is shooting video of your encounter, there are a number of technical aspects to your "shoot" that you need to consider and carefully plan out. Of course, this assumes you have the permission and co-operation of the lady in question.

Even if you don't have "pro" gear (i.e. lighting kit), there are many articles available on "guerilla" lighting (i.e. how to use cheap reflector-type lights to 'fill' and 'spotlight').
Good Luck,
Humboldt

i'm not sure what you mean by "snake ranch" ... well, i can GUESS, but not sure ...  frankly, "snake ranch" sounds a bit like the title of a gay video!  LOL

and while i'm flattered that you should mention me in the same breath as FastEddie, i've videotaped only ONE (real) pornstar (Samantha Sterlyng) but it did instantly supplant a rather large library of tapes from years of doing it with GFEs.  frankly over time i've erased most of them (as "nasty" as the GFEs got) ... cuz when you get a real PRO it's a different thing, that porn-STAR quality just oozes off the screen! ... so good luck starting your personal porn library  


as for load volume ... i tend to go with the urban lore:  zinc, celery and high-protein foods (but no meat, that stinks up  your "essence") ... not sure why, but they do seem to work

faithless, humbold is right. this is essential for a high-quality shoot. it used to be for years people mistakenly thought (some still do!) that quality is a film-vs-video tradeoff (which it isn't cuz video actually has better effective resolution). the critical element is pro-lighting (which in the golden age of porn, no one bothered with) ... these days judging from their products, only Vivid seems to bother with doing it "right"

but this being said, i think the amateur porn-videographer can still get a rather decent rough-n-ready product with just some common sense. i have pro-lighting at my disposal but i don't even bother drag it around or set it up (only for some incalls). frankly, you'd be amazed how "smart" today's mini-DV camcorders can be. my "pro-sumer" Canon ZR40A set to low-lighting mode can function for decent gonzo in the least friendly of lighting environments (but it will have the grainy gonzo "look" of course).  i'd say just make sure you have even lighting (dramatically very boring, but effective for a see-all porn "documentary" of the event)

You can get relatively good lighting using the Halogen construction lights sold in any home center and turning the lights on in the room.  For a nice soft glow bounce the lights off the wall.  Other than that just have fun and relax, it couldn't be any worse than some of the dreck now being released as porn.

If you plan to distribute this anywhere you will need a model release.  Enjoy yourself!!

A decent lighting kit, including two tota-lights with umbrella's, stands, a single 'spot' plus barn doors and case will set you back about a grand or so, but it is worth it. Don't forget to bring along an electrical box to plug the lights into!  (AND, make certain you have more than one battery and/or charger!).  

Another gentleman suggested bringing along a 13" Monitor because trying to see what you are shooting when all you've got is a camcorder's LCD display is difficult.

Also, block out your shots! (i.e. determine how 'close' you want your shots to be; then use gaffers tape to mark off a 'camera safe' area. That way you will stay in the frame).

What has "worked" for me is to get the lady involved in your production. If you are going to meet with her for 'x' amount of time, specifically set-aside a portion of that time for your "shoot". Use an egg timer! That way you won't spend all your 'play' time trying to tape the encounter...and getting frustrated at the experience that you are paying for!).  Another suggestion: if this is an "outcall", set up your lights, camera, etc, before your "talent" arrives. Why spend her time and your money watching you set up lights and camera angles!
Good Luck,
Humboldt

getting the ladies involved is a good idea. in my PSE session i was getting so frustrated having one hand "tied behind my back" (more so than usual, cuz this was afterall a bonafide PORNSTAR and one that i'd madly lusted after for years) that during some of the more difficult acrobatics, i just handed her the camcorder and she took over and to boot did a masterly job of shooting me some great gonzo ... in fact my ATF GFE (who is a film student) after having seen this tape now wants to direct my next encounter!  LOL

i think if the talent is staying in an upscale hotel, the video-in jack on the TV in the hotel room should suffice in lieu of a monitor (which is handy indeed) ... if not that then a laptop

my key advice to newbies would be to bring a tripod at the very least. that and extra batteries, cables and tape (not to mention a 2nd digital camera for stills cuz DV vid-caps won't be as good)

Yeah, I'll let the woman shoot alot of the stuff also, Sara Jay does a great job working the camera while I'm sure it was very hard for her to do so with her legs behind her head Also some others will say hey I think you should shoot from this angle or make other comments about what they think you should do to make the video as good as possible. I meet only ladies who allow me to video tape (except for Lovette, a little pricey and sprung the price on me only after we agreed to meet and I got to location), I have over 30 adventures on tape since I started March of 2002 and hope to get many more

The learning curve is pretty steep on these things, and I learned the hard way to plan it out in advance, vice ad-hoc and have to compete for concentrating on the experience over the documentation of it.

the gaffers tape and setting fields of view was a great idea.

The hardest part is going to have to refrain for a week.
Again thanks for all the great tips, didn't mean to be particular in seeking advice.  I'll see what those volume pills are about as well.

I have been reading a little here and I must say I am impressed with the advise Singleton is giving.
Zinc for volume.  Celery for flavor. A tripod a backup equipment!
I could not have done better myself.

Ah, you know what "Gaffers Tape" is! OK, you can do this.

FYI, several companies, one called Sunpak comes to mind, make a remote controlled pan/tilt head. It costs less than $200 and attaches directly to your tripod. Your camcorder attaches to the pan/tilt head. Depending upon your camcorder, the remote for the pan/tilt head will also operate the zoom function of your camera.  It takes some practice to become proficient at its use, but it is a great little accessory.  A friend of mine liked it so much, she uses it for her live video streaming. You can purchase from B&H Photo as well as Marketek.

Now should we discuss editing?  
Good, uh, Shooting

what lens cleaner is best for wiping off splooge?

It depends upon whether it is on the Lens or You

Most of the concoctions for increasing load are urban myths... However, there was an item in Maxim a few months ago that claimed that lecithin, a dietary supplement that helps emulsify and break down fats in the body, taken daily, twice the regular dose and on an ongoing basis increased seman volume... I've tried it and it does seem to work.  It's available in most drug stores where vitamins are located, and it's very inexpensive.

But I've found that the best "trick" for maximum volume is simply to be well hydrated.  Drinking a lot of water (which I do as a matter of course) seems to dramatically affect the ejaculate volume.   As a guess, I think Gatorade might be useful, since it not only hydrates the body, but it contains electrolites and zinc (I think) as well.

Plus, I always travel with a turkey baster and a can of Coco Lopez... if I don't need it, I whip up a batch of delicious pina coladas LOL

Dude,
I've read somewhere (maybe BS, but it actually does it for me, but then again, maybe just in my head.  The top one.) that some male pornstars eat boiled eggs for the protein the day before a shoot.
