Why are Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs so popular?

Hello everybody!

Yesterday I made a custom script pattern, because I am sometimes a bit unhappy with normal scripts. I often feel like they are either too fast, too slow, strokes are not long enough and some other issues.

After thinking about it a bit more, Cock Heroes / PMVs and HMVs came into my mind and why there so popular. I scripted some Cock Hero videos and they are extremely popular on FapTap. This video reached 11k views. And you know what? It took me ~ 30 minutes to script. And it’s not only this one. Other Cock Heros / PMVs are also very popular and reach several thousand views and many likes.

As a creator I find myself asking: Why should I spent HOURS scripting a normal video when I can spent 30 minutes to 1 hour on scripting a Cock Hero / PMV that generates way more interest and gets thousand views more?

So, I am gonna ask again:

Why are Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs so popular?

Do you prefer Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs over normal videos?
  • Yes, because…
  • No, because…

If you prefer Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs: Do you prefer an action based or beat based script?
  • Beat based, because…
  • Action based, because…
  • I like both

My theories why Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs are so popular:

  • Visually very stimulating, because you have many scenes in one video
  • Some offer extremely well done editing and are very interesting to watch
  • You often have full strokes in it, which seem to be the most pleasant for most people
  • Often lots of cool patterns in it with great variety
  • Often consistent speed, not too fast, not too slow and therefore finish doesn’t get ruined

I would love to hear the perspective on both, users and script creators.

Can’t say neither yes nor no on PMV, which I prefer over the others. The hard part is to find videos with both great editing/content and the right music for me. Too often I’ve found good videos with a bad selection of music (according to my preferences, others might love it).

As asking for opinions,

Not my thing at all. Prefer more immersion, which a CH, PMV is anything but (I also hate music in porn too lol…so there’s that). Sure, if you just want to get off, even a vid isn’t really needed, right speed and rhythm will usually do the job most of the time…I prefer a more one on one situation…porn isn’t (to me) really about getting off, it’s ‘who/her’ doing it for me. A PMV etc just is about as far away from that as you can get.

Same goes for compilations also…most of the time.

…personally i think it’s all about the rhythm, the constant beat that dictates the pleasure, it takes no prisoners, and it’s up to you to ‘fight’ it to the end. You really do get to be a hero! This also lends the script a dominant aspect, and as a kinky bastard, i do like to be dominated by a script. i find there’s a certain cross-over into goon / edging scripts, both of which tend to focus on a set rhythm to get you to a point, and force you to stay there, trapped in a toe curling vice.

Visually, the CH video has much greater artistic freedom, as it doesn’t have to visually present a specific sex act, or time it visually to a rhythm. One can be entertained by a vast range of erotic stimuli, and the delicious disconnect between the onscreen and the beat can be quite the most entrancing aspect.

In short, it’s all about the battle to be a hero… with your cock…!

What’s not to love…!

:biting_lip:

Just to add, i don’t ‘prefer’ them to scenes, i regard them as a very different beast, more like a training exercise, or a meditation. So i didn’t answer the poll…! Sorry!

It really depends on what im feeling that day. If i want to listen to the music i would load up my pmv/ ch folder. If i want to do animated stuff i load that, i i want to just go with a normal video again i pick that folder. So it really depends on my mood that day.

I always prefer action over anything tho. Even when scripting them.

I generally enjoy HMV that’s a remix of scenes from DMM games. This one for example. Actually playing the game means you’d have to spend hours of grind in order to see one particular scene. Whereas in an HMV you get to see a good selection of them, synced nicely to a song.

I think same thing can be said for other genre as well. PMV trims away the less enjoyed part of a film, strengthening its primitive pleasure by synchronizing the actions to music beats.

This doesn’t say about works which puts an emphasis on narrative and immersion, in which case I would attend the original over a reduced edit.

In the case for cock-hero I think they just goes very well with the nature of interactive sex toys. :wink:

It can be compared to watching a full-length movie and tiktok videos. People now watch movies less and watch short videos more often.
Speaking about myself, there are only a few PMVs in my collection that I like. I like to feel like I’m in a video when I watch it, and PMVs aren’t good for that.

So many regular scenes are a lot of faffing about, with only short sections of actual penetration before they go back to low intensity oral, or anal with 15% movement range. So you eventually need to switch to something with guaranteed proper strokes.

I didn’t realize they were actually popular. I thought they just flooded the script pages because they were easy to make… I have a near zero interest in them

Well, that depends… Some are “easy” if you only make them go down on a beat, sure
But so are scripts that people do solely by using MTFG. They have no soul and are even off most of the time.
I like PMVs/HMVs because they show creativity of the creator (don’t even get me started on multi axis ones like this one, I love it)
I wholeheartedly disagree that they’re easier than some of the normal video scripts here that people script using MTFG.

Personally I enjoy both normal and edited videos with music (exception is when the music has distracting vocal). As you wrote, these videos with music are usually visually stimulating with many scenes and they are well edited. They are planned in the editing process and it makes them more of a challenge that normal videos do not give.

I also like the feeling of not knowing what is coming next in these videos, especially in Cock Heros. You could generally predict what to come in normal videos.

I like both equally, BUT I hate this song… Please stop using it in videos lol.

So heres my 2 cents, i dont prefer the one over the other, however i will say that i tend to avoid CH over PMVs because whenever i look into PMV or HMV, i really enjoy the ones that have the editing style taken into account aswell, prime example is noodledudes PMVs, his music and editing style also matches with action, which makes the question if i prefer action or audio based more or less useless. a good PMV in my opinion has a mix of both, audio and action that matches editing and music…

with CHs i often have that bland feel to them, where its just a speed that you wont be able to comfortably play through to begin with, and then also scenes/action that dont have to do anything with the CH beat or rythm…

now how do i choose pmv or normal scenes? whatever mood im into i guess, i might start off with a pmv and then go with a full scene afterwards to slow things down…

so yeah, overall in my opinion, pmv/normal scenes > CH

I guess I prefer CH/PMV/HMV only when there is a funscript for it. Manually they can be a bit too much.
As for beats vs action, my preference is for beats because rythmic pumping is more pleasurable than the device just going crazy. Timing the action on screen to the beat is the best of both worlds.

I prefer normal scenes because I feel that CH/PMVs become more about the beat and music than the actual scenes that are in the video. Videos that match the beat to the actions/action based scripts are okay but I would still prefer a normal scene.

I also put importance on a scenes audio so I don’t like watching a CH/PMV and the scene is muted and I just hear the music, often using a repetitive beat or cringey song that completely takes me out of enjoying it. Hearing the normal scenes audio is a big part of it for me so if I can’t hear the moans, talking and other sounds I’m not interested.

Zero interest. To me, scripted porn and porn in general is all about immersion. Plus they are way to intense for me.

Thank you for all the interesting answers so far!

There are some interesting points and perspectives. It seems to be pretty mixed.

The music can completely ruin a video for me as well. Some of the songs I absolutely can’t stand and even if the scenes are good, I wouldn’t want to watch it, when the music is terrible. I feel like in most PMVs the music very same-ish. It’s always these techno / edm stuff or whatever this genre is called. And sometimes it has lyrics in, which I really hate in PMVs.

Yes, I feel like Cock Heros etc. are just there to get you off. Normal videos are there for a longer stimulation. It’s more of a journey with a rewarding ending, but a longer nice and enjoyable ride towards the end.

I see. So these Cock Hero videos provide a challenge. I often heard people try to “beat” the video / script and they want to make it to the end. They then try to watch the video / use the script, until they were able to beat it. The challenge aspect is definitely pretty interesting!

Absolutely! Like I said, some editing is insane and it’s really entertaining to watch. Also some videos provide a certain theme, which is then very interesting.

Yes. In normal scenes you always have some part / parts that are not interesting to you or that are rather slow. Cock Heros etc. provide constant action and little to no slower / break parts. And if they have a slower / break part, it fits with the video / beat / music and / or is part of a challenge theme.

That is very good comparison. TikTok and shorter videos become more and more popular and I think that’s the reason why Cock Heros etc. are also popular. Seems like people prefer the shorter videos, but more. Instead of watching a 20 min. video, they rather watch 5 4 minutes PMVs. They see more clips, have more variety and provide more action.

A good example is YouTube. You mostly see videos with around 10 minutes. That’s because that is the longest people want to watch a video. If it’s longer, they either don’t even bother watching it or they turn it off after 10 minutes. I feel like that’s could be for porn videos as well. You also start seeing this on pornhub. As a creator, I find myself picking shorter videos as well. Because I know users don’t want to watch longer videos, I am not bothering scripting them anymore. Why should I spend my time scripting something that’s not getting used anyway. I’d rather script a 10 minute video and know it gets watched / used until the end.

That’s a point I thought somebody will bring up. And I can agree. Some sections in some videos can be really boring. Why would you want some slow halve strokes, when you can get some faster full strokes all the time?

I also noticed MFTG gets used a lot and people don’t bother checking the automated strokes and just release it. I think it’s a real problem. The tool is great and I used it a lot as well. But I ALWAYS checked EVERY stroke and corrected it by hand. You can easily see, if somebody just let the tool run over a video and then call it a day. Very annoying and I think people should say it’s completely auto generated without them correcting it.

Cock Heros etc. definitely provide a lot of creativity when you script them. I think that’s the reason they are really fun to script. I still would say they are way easier to script than a normal video in my opinion. Because of the freedom they offer, there is no wrong to it. In normal scripts there is a wrong.

I agree. The random factor makes them very exciting. You never know what comes next and how it’s edited.

Yes, his videos are a prime example. However, it’s extremely hard to make the beat and action equal. Maybe I don’t know the trick to it, but I tried it myself and found myself frustrated giving up. I have no idea how this is being so well executed.

I think so too. Action based PMV scripts are often way too fast and therefore not enjoyable. I prefer having a script, which is based on the beat for a more consisted script.
As I said one above, having beat and action in sync is the best. As a amateur / hobby PMV creator I feel like it’s extremely hard to execute.

I am not also not a fan when the Cock Hero etc. has the scenes muted. I prefer having the sound in, in combination with the music.

When I first got my Handy I had the same opinion. Also, when I started scripting as well. I always thought “Great, another PMV script. Why do people script these and use them? These devices are all about immersive experiences and having a video match with the script.” I obviously changed my mind. I tried some and watched some videos and thought they are often very well made and the scripts are really fun to use.
But I get your point. I still think the priority should be on normal videos and create a script that makes the video and the actions there feel alive.

My opinion on this is:

I like both. It depends on my mood what to use. I like variety, so I find myself switching from time to time.

At first I never liked Cock Heros / PMVs / HMVs. I was never a fan of them and wasn’t a huge fan seeing so many scripts for these videos. After I watched some videos and used the scripts, I changed my mind and was fascinated and impressed by the editing skills. After I started scripting some JAV PMVs, I had the crazy idea to make a PMV myself. And so I made two JAV PMVs (god, they are bad ^^). And now I think it’s very fun to create PMVs myself and also very challenging. You have so many possibilities and endless creativity to make your own video.

What currently bothers me about the “PMV scene” is, that all videos these days are split screen TikTok like PMVs. Look, go to https://spankbang.com/s/pmv/?o=popular. What do you see? Yeah, pretty much every video is a split screen TikTok style PMV. I feel it’s so inflationary, it starts to become boring. I miss some cool themed non split screen PMVs. Some split screen is cool and can be used when it fits. But that much? Every video? The whole video? Come on… There is so much more you can do. But I guess people like it. They are getting a lot of views, scripts for these videos are getting a lot of views. So I guess they will stick around.

About MTFG, this is a great way to quickly make a draft script if you don’t need high precision. But the verification takes almost the same time as if you write the script yourself, so I stopped using it
