Just as scripted television series have waned in recent years, conceding prime time slots to less costly reality fare, so too have big-budget porn productions.

In place of these legendary movies of subpar plotlines and elementary acting has emerged a new genre of adult entertainment: “reality” porn. And it’s grabbing the country by the balls.

Gary Blumenthal, Webmaster for OnTheHUNT.com, a spin-off of Manhunt.com that invites its members to be filmed having sex with other members, says that the reality porn genre kicked off a few years ago – the same time video Internet started gaining steam. People were looking for a change, he says, something they hadn’t seen before.

“I think reality porn has been around forever, as far back as stag films from the 1950s, but what has changed is that there are now actual venues to view it.

"Sites like XTube and GayTube have given amateur exhibitionists a place for people to view their homemade porn. In addition, many video distributors and video-on-demand sites have sprung which specialize in this type of homegrown reality amateur porn.”

OnTheHUNT, which is on the cutting edge of reality porn is as real as reality porn gets. When it launched, the site received more than 4,000 inquiries from Manhunt members interested in meeting other members to have their sexual encounters taped.

“What makes us unique is that we send a famous porn star like Jeremy Hall or Collin O’Neal or Matthew Rush to the participants’ home to film the hook up just as it is happening,” Blumenthal explains. “In the editing process, we leave in about 99 percent of the footage so people can see the good, the bad, and the in-between.”
