Topic, not disliking people who prefers those, but I’m using devices like the Handy, I feel like an actual scene makes me more invested in…
What do you think?
I definitely prefer scenes and series over music videos and compilations.
I don’t know who likes pmvs and hmvs, to be honest. I thought they were just made because they’re relatively effortless to script compared to an actual scene. Seems like some on-the-spectrum shit to me if we’re being real.
Yeah I agree, I watch actual scenes 95 percent of the time. However, a well-made pmv with music I like, fit girls, good script and high-resolution imagery will beat most normal scenes. That sex toy rhythmically dancing on your cock, omg, mind blowing stuff. That’s an expericence only sex toy can provide. It’s my go to when I want a quick session, I won’t last long. Plus another advantage is that pmvs have a higher replayability imo.
There are some MVs that are incredibly creative and perfectly suited for toy syncing. An example off the top of my mind is how Tracer’s teleportation is synced to the music here:
I don’t agree that MVs have higher replayability, but I can see why you’d feel that way.
95% HMV enjoyer here.
I can appreciate a good PMV. The tricky part is that PMVs have three components that must be good; video, script AND music. I’ve found several good PMV videos where bad music (music that I don’t like) ruined everything.
A well made PMV is definitely not effortless. First of all, you need to be perfectly in sync with the beat. Script matching movement doesn’t matter if they are a frame or two out of sync due to the fact that movement isn’t that precise for the most part, at least not compared to a beat.
The creativity in creating good patterns that match the music, and to some extent what is happening in the video, is also something that differs between good and bad scripters.
However, there are tools that can automate scripting based on the beat (available in the software section somewhere) and that makes it easy to create a basic script for the music in a PMV. However, that is comparable to AI scripting IMHO. Parts might be good, but it doesn’t measure up to a hand made script by far.
Your not the only one who prefers actual scenes although I can see why you might think that. I think you just see more videos and stuff because scripting an actual scene is very very very very time consuming.
I really hate slideshows
If it’s not a slideshow I can’t really call it hmv/pmv anymore even if it’s a music video
It depends. Sometimes I prefer a scene, sometimes a PMV, sometimes a Cock Hero. All have their pros and cons. So when I get bored by the banality and linearity of scenes, music might add some aspects or two, if it is done well. And if I’m up for gamifying it, a good Cock Hero might be the choice.
And just like sentinel said, for a music script to be good, the beats have to be spot on and even one or two frames off can be felt if the error is not constant. And I do like to “feel the music” so to speak, so not only the main beats have to be spot on.
And from a scripting perspective there’s also a pro for PMVs/CHs: When experimenting with Multi-Axis (OSR2+Twist) I’m trying out a lot of patterns in different speeds to figure out what would feel what way, which can also enhance the way to script for a normal scene.
I like both, and there´s a mood for both.
What´s definitely a factor for me is, that pmv´s/hmv´s are more make or break. The patterns need to be well done, there´s a too simple and too much. Then there´s the quality of the pmv itself adding to it.
All in all a stellar pmv can be really intense if it´s creatively made and have a much stronger effect than a normal scene, regarding the script and the visual overstimulation (just take as an example the average noodledude-pmv)
Then again a well done scene with just the right amount of bounce etc can be as intense, but here I have to say that in scenes multi axis makes a huge difference for me; good thing the devices get more common, to leading more scripters doing those.
At the end of the day I have to say, looking into my finisherfolder with the scripts that I like to use last, there´s way more pmv´s and similar content, likely due to the higher ceiling you can reach, doing creative and really intense things “normal” sexscenes would never be able to do.
I´m glad about the mix on this platform, you pretty much get something for everyone and every mood, triggering my hunter-gatherer-mind…good thing I upgraded my drives a while ago, or I would be in trouble already
To restate some of whats already been posted: a good MV can be mind-blowing if both the video and the script are done well. The right music, good content mix, script synced with the beat AND content synced with the beat, conscientious choice of script patterns/rhythms, etc. Unfortunately, getting those all together at once just doesn’t happen very often --at least to my tastes. So I end up wading through a lot of subpar MVs and MV scripts (again, IMHO).
In comparison, my take is that scenes have a lower bar to be enjoyable. No music to take into consideration. Scenes are usually pretty narrow in scope on the content (same girl/girls throughout) so the viewer already chose the scene based on their tastes. If the scripter is even mildly competent, following the action is usually an enjoyable experience.
There’s still stuff that can ruin a scene though. “Creative” scripters including extraneous stuff. Actors that can’t fuck or suck worth a damn. Bad production. But generally scenes are like pizza, as they say: even when its bad, its still pretty good.
And, similar to MVs, if you get the right combo of perfect content, great production, and nice script, a scene can absolutely transport you to another world. Staring into Agatha Vega’s eyes while she rides me in passthrough VR with a Realcumber script pumping away is almost a transcendent experience. I just don’t think that MVs have that capability (barring substance use).
There are great videos with music, but they are more likely to be dance or mmd for obvious reasons

I just wanna say I love when a discussion gets going and the community can have their voices heard by each other.
Thank you for bringing this topic up @ebia141506
I generally prefer actual scenes, but I like to mix it up sometimes with PMV and compilations videos as well. I probably have about a 5 to 1 ratio in my downloaded library.
I do like scenes but rarely.
For me sex and porn are 2 different experiences and at least in the context of the handy I’m not trying to replicate real sex. I most often enjoy scenes in VR. But flat almost never.
I actually am more a game mod player than anything.
I watch HMVs that uses clips from FANZA games, or visual novels in general. These scenes are often short animation played in a loop, and are usually locked behind plot or paywall. HMVs are a quick and dirty way to enjoy the sex without having to grind the game or pay for gacha.
You apparently have not seen the greatness that is noodledude PMVs. If you havent, i sugggest you check out “Kawaii vs Goth” or “I want your cum”. The man is an artist I tell you!
HMVs/PMVs are pretty hit or miss for me. I think the main thing is that I much prefer action based scripts, and most hmvs/pmvs are beat based.
