Here's the situation: My "Knee Pad Nymphos" series contains 10 scenes in each release, usually consisting of 5-6 BJ scenes and sexual positions as well as BJ's, including at least one creampie. The focus is young starlets and an oldfart (me). From time to time, I have relented and allowed some 35-42 year old women to put on the knee pads and give me head while I try to keep the camera from jiggling too much.

In the past, I've always tried to "bury" such scenes by inserting them as one of the 10 scenes, usually sandwich-ing them between scenes with hot young chicks. Thus far, it seems to be OK as AVN reviews have awarded review ratings of AAAA to three of the six reviewed releases thus far (and two AVN Award Noms last year). But, I am thinking about starting up a new series called something like "Seasoned Knee Pad Nymphos" for release every so often when I've accumulated so many scenes that I'll die of old age before I get around to sandwiching them all into releases with nine young actresses.

For your Internet viewers, do you think it's best to keep my present "sandwich-ing" procedure; or, go ahead with a "seasoned" release every 8-10 releases?

Thanks,

Dave

I am not sure if the market is big enough in video sales only. ( I do not know the market as well as you, but it always seems that there is not as much niche stuff compaired to net. )

But I bet a mature/milf type BJ site would do well.

Dave I'd put the mature scenes on one DVD and see how it sells - market it as MILF.

hey here's a good title for your older chick DVD, a spoof on Richard Simmons - 'Dave Cummings' Sweatin With The Oldies!'

Wow, Dave Cummings on Oprano....one of the few "video" guys I know and one of the few I spend a few $ on DVD's of...

Market the shit out of those mature ladies as MILF's...don't wait for the other guys in the video industry make something a "standard", be some kind of pioneer and plaster the shit out of the market with it.

One reason guys buy/rent DVD's with barely legals is...there is very little choice......give them a choice

Dave, I was wondering something you might be able to shed some light on. How important are AVN reviews towards sales of adult VHS/DVD sales?

Does a good review actually produce a noticeable increase in sales?

Yes, Brisk, a good AVN Review helps; but, because the initial sales/distributions have usually happened at the same time the video is sent to AVN for review (and due to lag time getting it published), most sales increase is in the "legs" it gets from the Ordering agents who see the review and order for their stores later.

Dave

P.S. I'm an almost computer illiterate oldfart----I tried clicking on the quote to include Brisk's post, but.....! How does a dummy like me do it, by copy/paste?? It's hell to be old, inept, and stupid:-)))

Hi Dave,

Long time fan of your videos! Congrats on your immense success!!

Yes on the mature gals. I'm 46 and an old fart too. LOL. I think older women are just plain sexier and more confident then the younger girls. There's just something different with them that's very arousing and stimulating.

Keep up the great work!

Ass Clown,

I would go ahead and create a secondary series. I for one, love the 35 - 45 content and I think many others do also. I love the older women for few reasons.

1. They are usually more experieced and comfortable.
2. They are quite often doing it more for fun than money. Just because they enjoy it, sure they make some money but they quite often just look like their having more fun in the scenes.
3. I love curves and many of the older girls have nice curves, yeah they may wiggle a little but thats all the fun

Sincerley,
Rob
