The pros and cons of different scenarios

[sorrownaut]

After being member here for quite a while I had some idling thoughts about the different categories of recording scenarios. Basically these are: members recording themselves, outdoor, Hotel, and neighbours roommate.
Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, which I like to list here, and I am curious what your thoughts are...

members
Usually the best, most clear quality, and usually the longest, most complete recordings. But to me, that peeping sensation of "behind the curtain" is somehow missing. That's why I prefer the other categories. Still great sometimes.

Outdoor
My least favourite. Due to very high risk of getting caught, most recordings are very short, and very distant, and thus often of poor quality. Also often lots of disturbing noises. And little content, because captures are limited to summer.

Hotel
Pros: usually good quality due to thin walls and doors. Many people are often careless about being loud bc of anonymity. Party mood and vacation further increase chances of success, so lots of captures.
Cons: lots of interruptions and early cuts.
Probably my favourite category.

neighbours
Pros: usually longer sessions with very few interruptions. Little risk of getting caught. Planning is often possible.
Cons: thicker walls/ more distance to doors usually brings poorer sound than hotel recordings. Roommates are the exceptions, but here, the lovers usually try to be quiet.
My second fave.

Any opinions?

If I can choose: neighbours
But more important is that the girl has fun and shows it with intense, enthusiastic moans. Bonus points for throaty, animalistic grunting, basically loosing all inhibitions and just letting it out

In terms of sound quality and action, members may be the best, but I find the neighbors or hotel category more exciting, because there you hear people who don't know that they are being recorded and that has an exciting side. If the quality is good and you can hear what they are saying, these categories are better than members.

Disagree with this. I've done hotel, neighbour and outdoor recordings.
Outdoor ones are easily the least riskiest. But yes, it's very difficult to get
good quality outdoor captures.

#1 Neighbors. It’s often people the recorder knows. I know that greatly added to the appeal to me years ago when overhearing neighbors, roommates & friends. The particular scenario and the recorder’s excitement listening to the woman is often more of a turn-on to me than the sound quality.

#2 Swingers, etc., where the husband / boyfriend is masturbating to his wife / girlfriend having sex with another guy, whether he’s in the room with them or overhearing them (whether they are aware or not). Not something I’d be comfortable doing at the moment and maybe that’s why listening to those who are turns me on?

# 3 Hotel / Motel. Again, where the recorder joins in from his own room listening to his/her neighbors. The chance occurrence, the spontaneity, knowing or not knowing what they look like all add to the excitement. And maybe, as was my case years ago, the recorder not caring if they can hear his / her self-pleasuring.

Neighbors category gets my vote, because it's the greatest chance of hearing actual lovers making love... laughing, talking, having fun and sharing emphatic "shock and awe" reactions with each other. Neighbors captures usually will not sound at all like a boring porno film soundtrack, where a woman just says, "Uh..." for a half hour without uttering a word.
