" &amp;quot;How would you feel if you had your legs spread wide open on a giant TV in ultra-high definition like this?&amp;quot; asks porn star Tori Black as she stares at an 84&amp;quot; Sony XBR 4K television. &amp;quot;Why would anyone want to see my razor burn? I have a slight scar you would be able to see. Not cute!&amp;quot; In the Magnolia Design Center inside Best Buy in Burbank, CA, Black and fellow adult star Allie Haze gaze at a smiling infant displayed on the mammoth television screen. You can actually see each wisp of peach fuzz on his chubby face. The screen has over eight million pixels (3,840 wide by 2,160 tall), four times the number of current HDTV. The price tag on this set, the largest in the store, is a hefty $25,000, but the picture is so lifelike, it&amp;#039;s uncanny.  But how clearly do you want to see the picture in this context? Is there such a thing as too HD for porn? Our culture is obsessed with sexy people. We are obsessed with porn. We are obsessed with television and technology, and we love watching people have sex. We want to be aroused. We want to get off. Maybe twice. Haze twirls her long curled locks and pauses for a moment. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a horndog, and I watch porn all the time, but if I&amp;#039;m so mesmerized by the picture, how am I still going to enjoy my porn?&amp;quot; she asks. &amp;quot;I think it may just be too real. It&amp;#039;s just really creepy and overwhelming, and it would feel like these guys are in my bedroom with me.&amp;quot;  She doesn&amp;#039;t own a 4K TV yet, but she recently shot a porno in the format with production company Naughty America, which has invested almost a million dollars into ultra-high definition recording. She claims that shooting with the 4K camera didn&amp;#039;t affect her work, but when the film is released, the close-ups could be uncomfortable. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s when I wouldn&amp;#039;t want to look at myself. The average porno watcher wants it as HD as possible. They always want more. But I don&amp;#039;t understand that. I&amp;#039;m not getting any younger.&amp;quot; For the record, she is 26 years old. Naughty America founder and CEO Andreas George Hronopoulos believes that with the 4K content and new TVs, they will be able to bring people&amp;#039;s fantasies closer to reality. &amp;quot;You want to get as close to a person as you can be and as intimate as possible,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;The stars in these movies are beautiful people and they are real. There is no Photoshopping here. Eventually people will get used to what they see in new video technology. Anyone who says otherwise is basically saying &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t want to see what people really look like.&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  Porn legend Ron Jeremy agrees with that philosophy: The higher the definition, the better, especially if it can decrease pirating. He doesn&amp;#039;t care what camera a director uses or what television you watch it on. &amp;quot;The minute things are ending on set, after the cock shot, I wash up and leave. I couldn&amp;#039;t care less if they are shooting on a 4K camera,&amp;quot; Jeremy says. &amp;quot;I mean, you can see every pimple, follicle and ingrown hair, even on the nipples. I guess you&amp;#039;ll have to have the makeup artist work overtime. I think it&amp;#039;s funny.&amp;quot; Keep in mind, you can watch any quality picture on a 4K television, but to view the full effects of it, you must watch content filmed with a 4K camera. The editing process is difficult. It requires a lot of storage space, and that storage space is not cheap. One of the first people to employ the new technology was porn director-producer-screenwriter Lee Roy Myers. His company, Woodrocket.com, was preparing for the future and decided to film two adult pictures, The Sex Files and Tru, on a 4K Red camera in 2009. Two years later, he shot Horizon on 5K, which has a bigger sensor and is even more challenging to edit. &amp;quot;We shot everything at a higher quality than was necessary at the time. But it looked great. I mean you could vividly see the sweat dripping down the person&amp;#039;s back. People want high quality,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;But the question is when they are going to want it.&amp;quot; The company spent nearly $10,000 a week on the shoots, but Myers sees the expenditure as an investment to improve the art form. &amp;quot;As technology advances, people will get used to it. I don&amp;#039;t think there is anything but evolution here,&amp;quot; Myers contends. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m more interested in seeing the monitors, computer systems, video cards and mobile devices that can keep up with 4K. It won&amp;#039;t just be about television anymore. I think that is more important to the adult industry because of porn&amp;#039;s high Internet and mobile presence.&amp;quot; The female performers have less technological concerns. &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t want my butthole shown in 4K,&amp;quot; says Haze. Black, on the other hand, isn&amp;#039;t of the same mindset. &amp;quot;My butthole is cute,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;But I would (still) be worried.&amp;quot; Fetish porn is something to consider in a new 4K reality, too. It&amp;#039;s one thing to see a penis or breasts in near-lifelike fidelity, but more unusual and invasive scenes open up new problems \u2014 sometimes literally. Haze regales a story to Black about one of those scenes that would &amp;quot;that would look really intense on this TV.&amp;quot; Black faces her, laughing, and responds, &amp;quot;I would freak out if I put my foot in anyone&amp;#039;s vagina.&amp;quot; There is a moment of silence between the two of them. She adds, &amp;quot;But I wonder what that would look like in high-def?&amp;quot; Pretty soon, we all will know. That is, if we want to. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
