I’m not a big fan of POV scenes. I’m also not a fan of closeups. I prefer watching two fully nude bodies pleasuring one another during a sex scene. I’m also not much of a fan of lingerie or stockings. Not a fan of guys wearing t-shirts or hats during a sex scene. I’ve always preferred watching a sex scene when the lovers are all fully nude. I am in full agreement with you that filming POV requires more work & takes away from the full experience, as you put it, for the reasons mentioned. However i have used this filming technique in the past also but mostly for anal scenes in order to validate to the person viewing the film that there is no doubt which part of the anatomy is involved & which would at times difficult to see from a regular camera angle. The main reason why i’m not a fan of filming these types of scenes is that the camera always shakes during intercourse & makes it somewhat irritating to view. However filming & watching it in POV is enjoyable to both film & watch if the scene involves fellatio. Holding a camera while lying down, sitting or standing up requires much less exertion & with the pulse rate being considerably lower any possible shaking of the camera is neutralized. It adds to the overall shoot.
