Editing was half the fun.
Maybe more than half. Running through the video to select and cut out sections, digitally splice them back together, working out what worked on screen and what to just delete, allows you to relive the scene itself.
You can fast forward anything that drags, or watch in slow motion what really turns you on. You can chose a sound-track that suits the style of fucking, hard rock for faster thrusting, or soft classical for close ups, slowed to let the viewer really take it in. Not that we had close ups first time around. Not even different camera angles.
It was Sarah's idea to make our own. She had caught me watching videos on porn sites on my laptop. Instead of being upset, she had been curious, and we had started watching them together. From the comfort of our couch. Cast onto our sixty-five inch wall mounted screen, instead of the thirteen inches I had been privately watching on.
Not just watch. Sarah liked to comment too.
"They're not married," she said, the first time we were watching one together.
"Probably not," I agreed. "If you were married and living in that place together would you put together a porn video and put it online?"
It was a Penthouse video. The bedroom was more luxury hotel suite than standard private home. A great backdrop to a beautiful couple fucking one another, but not the way most people live, or look.
The video cut to his cock head, opening her hairless cunt. Full screen. On our large screen television his cock head was now football sized, her cunt was stretched wide by its massive flange. Just as well she was as slick and wet as she obviously was.
"Plus, there is no way they took that shot themselves," my wife commented. "There's obviously a cameraman getting in and close to take that."
When it came to the cum-shot, she spotted something else. It was repeated several times, from different angles, but the guy only really came the once, directing most of his semen into his partner's open mouth.
"That had to be more than one camera," she said.
"You really know how to spoil the erotic mood," I laughed.
"Well come on," she said. "Aren't there any that are a bit more realistic? How is anyone supposed to compete with models like that?"
By realistic, Sarah meant real people, normal couples, you and me, videoing themselves. The answer was, there were. Plenty of them. The platform I had found had literally thousands of videos, catalogued by themes, couples, threesomes, gang-bangs, cum-shots, mixed race, cuckold, young with old, blindfolds, restrained. Whatever you could think of, it was there. It mixed professionally made stuff with paid porn stars, with videos that were nothing like the same quality, poor lighting, bad framing, muffled sound, and not so beach toned bodies.
So Sarah had a point. The professionally made videos were part of the body-shaming industry. I could sympathise with her. I do not have a wash-board stomach or pecs that stand out inches proud, so I could not compete with the guys onscreen. Sarah, presumably felt the same about the perfect figures of the women they were fucking.
Not that we are Homer and Marge. I do not have a beer gut, and Sarah is quite a looker. I love her body, not least that she has legs to die for, and breasts that are pleasantly full and still sit proud without support. She may not be the front page of Vogue, but I love her face, her high cheek-bones, blue eyes, and succulent lips, and the way her hair tumbles down to just below her shoulders. Even if it is all natural and not styled by a salon, it all looks good to me.
I had been watching more the Penthouse quality videos, and I guess another difference is the clothes the actors wore. Skin-tight dresses, high class lingerie, leather-wear. My wife wears standard issue jeans and tops, summer dresses, with her two or three clubbing dresses kept for special occasions. It fast became clear that Sarah wanted to watch couples more like ourselves, not fantasy.
"Try that one," she said, as my mouse hovered over the sixteen stills of potential videos offered on the screen.
A nondescript bedroom, the full bed in the still photo, the woman naked on a plain white sheet, wearing a mask that kept her face from being recognisable. I clicked the mouse.
The guy appeared, went down on her, his head pixelated, a side view, her leg obscuring his head. She writhed around a little. Soon he moved up her body, kissing his way as he went, until he was ready to penetrate. He fucked her for five minutes. They came together. Then the screen went black.
"Play it again," Sarah asked.
I started it again from the beginning, intrigued at why she wanted to watch what had been a pretty boring video.
"That's real," she said, as if the other scenes of couples fucking one another had been fake.
"I mean, my guess is they're married, or living together at least," she said. "Look, photos on the bedside table. Normal bedroom. That's where they sleep. The camera isn't moving. It's on a stand, or leaning against something. They're just recording it themselves. It's real."
Her hand was on my leg, but moving north. It found my cock. Unzipped my fly. Angled its way inside. Gently stroked my slowly thickening shaft. She slid from the couch, moved round in front of me, eased my cock out, and started licking at the head.
Happily married for five years, our sex life had been bordering on the routine. Maybe that was the reason for my casual viewing on my own. We always used the bedroom, so this was different. This was my wife giving me head in the lounge. Not just head. When she had me good and ready she climbed onto me, knees on either side, skirt hitched to her waist. She eased her panties to one side and lowered herself onto my rearing cock head.
No need for any foreplay on my part. Her cunt was wet. My cock slid in so nicely. We fucked right where we were. More than the five minutes that the couple had lasted on the screen. Sarah gasping with pleasure as she used her thighs to lift and lowered herself, again and again. My own pleasure almost unbearable, the nerve endings in my cock head wanting her to slow, to ease back from the almost agonising intensity, yet still wanting more.
She came. Crying out and screaming the way she used to in the first years of our marriage. Shaking and shuddering and shivering and trembling. Grabbing her own breasts through her blouse and bra and squeezing the flesh as if she wanted to torment her nipple stubs, but could not quite find them underneath her clothes.
I came. Semen spewing from me, shooting through my shaft, hitting the glans and jetting through the eye. I sensed it filling her cunt. Overfilling. Oozing from her. Staining the fabric of my trousers. Not that that mattered. Not then. Not until later, and inconvenience of the dry cleaner visit and the cleaning charge.
"Wow," Sarah groaned, as she came back down from heaven. "That was so good!"
Which is why we started watching porn together every night.
I still preferred the professionally made stuff. I even carried on browsing it when Sarah was not around. Just for amusement. Not to masturbate to. My semen was strictly for my wife, not to be spilled for selfish pleasure.
Sarah liked the amateur stuff. The real people, in real homes, real bedrooms, real lounges, real showers, real kitchen tables.
We analysed the videos. Sarah loved that part of it.
"I can't believe she sucks him off that long. Did you get the way she took his balls in her mouth? Should I do that to you?"
"How did they get that shot? I mean you can see his tongue right at her clit."
"You'd think they would have made the bedroom a bit more tidy!"
"There's got to be someone else there. Do you think they invite someone in to video them?"
We would take it in turns, after twenty minutes or so of joint viewing, to go down on each other. Sarah allowed me to watch the high-definition porn of my choosing while she lapped and sucked my head and shaft. She would watch her 'real people', while I licked her out. Then, when we were ready, we would fuck.
Sarah even liked to do what she had been watching on the screen. Including sixty-nine. Including doggy. Including her bent over the back of the couch and taking it from behind. Including lying on our sides and facing one another, and her leg crossing over mine to guve me access to her cunt. Including her legs bent to touch her ears with the sides of her calves, while I nailed her to the couch.
Good fucking. Reinvigorating our sex life. Then one video inspired my wife to take things one step further. A 'real-life' wife with a pretty good figure, blonde, like Sarah, on the petite side, like her, and with pleasantly full breasts and wide areolas, similar to Sarah's own.
Sarah gave a running commentary, right from the first scene, full screen on the wife's body, lying on her back, legs in the air, a guy already with his cock onside her, slowly thrusting, just his groin on screen.
"Do you think it's real?" she asked.
"It looks real to me," I said.
"I mean, the way she's looking at the camera, with that little smile on her face, saying 'look at me'. Do you think she's really making it to tease her husband?"
That was how the site had billed the video. "Cheating wife makes video for her husband".
"Maybe," I said. "Maybe it's her husband fucking her, and they're just pretending that she's cheating, to get more views."
"So who's filming them?"
The answer came on screen. Sarah almost laughed.
"Did you see the selfie stick?" she said. "I can't believe she's doing that!"
The screen changed. She had her legs bent right back, almost to her ears. The shot was taken from the side. Her arm was stretched out towards the camera, just her upper arm visible, but it was pretty clear that she was using the selfie stick to take the shot.
"I love the way she keeps looking at the camera," Sarah said. "Those teasing looks, I mean. It could be real. He might not be her husband."
She reached for my cock. We were in robes, and she was just feeling me through the fabric. She grinned.
"You're hard," she said.
"I always get hard," I pointed out. "And she does look a bit like you."
