A New Kind of POV Porn
My review of Up Close
Heads up: this article contains nudity (you’re welcome!)
No one knows what POV means anymore. And it’s probably because of TikTok.
For a good long time, POV was a pretty simple idea. It’s a video where the camera’s point of view is also meant to be your point of view, like the camera is strapped to your shoulders.
Simple. Straightforward. Easy peasy.
But then TikTok came along and changed the meaning of all sorts of words.
Now I’m technically an accountant, even though I royally suck at math.
Whenever anyone mentions corn, I have to quickly wonder if they mean regular corn or wink-wink corn.
And all of a sudden you started seeing POVs that were shot from the third person perspective. Or maybe it’s second person. I don’t know - I just know they weren’t first person anymore.
Instead, POV has become more of a shorthand for something that’s meant to be relatable.
So now you’ve got “POV you need a nap” and it’s someone struggling to keep their eyes open.
“POV you’re that one friend who can’t keep a secret” and it’s a girl accidentally mentioning that your friend’s been banging your ex.
Or “POV trying chimichanga for the first time” and it’s just some asshole taking his first bite while you watch and can’t even pretend you’re the one tasting it.
I’ve seen it confuse some people, but honestly I’m here for it. I’m fine with POV meaning two different things and I got fully accustomed to the new meaning. When you get the hang of it, it’s a pretty handy shorthand.
And once there was a new version of POV in town, it was only a matter of time before we got a new kind of POV porn to go along with it.
Gorgeous Girls Staring Right Into Your Soul
I don’t have to tell you what standard POV porn is like.
You’ve seen it before. Probably lots of it, if you’re really being honest with yourself.
There’s a girl or two on the screen. There’s a guy too, but you don’t really see him because he’s holding the camera.
You might hear him awkwardly improvising some dialog. Maybe you’ll see his hand when he reaches out to squeeze a tit.
But mostly, you’ll see his cock sticking out from the bottom of the screen.
It’s a way to give you a front row seat to all the fucking and sucking this lucky guy is experiencing.
Unless you lucked out and found some good female POV porn, that’s basically the gist of it. It’s a pretty standard format, so I always know exactly what to expect from a POV scene.
Or at least, I did until I watched a few videos from Up Close.

I started with the Leana Lovings scene because she’s really hard to resist and I happen to have a thing for girls in glasses.
It opens with a closeup shot of her adorable face. She’s having a low-key flirty conversation with Robby Apples. They’re speaking softly and slowly, which gives the scene an almost dreamy quality.
They’re complimenting each other. He’s asking her what her ideal sexual encounter would be like. She stares into the camera while describing how she wants to be teased and touched.
So far, so POV.
But then we see something we’re not supposed to see in POV porn. We see Robby.
He walks up to Leana and touch her hair, stroke her skin, and ask her more questions. She keeps talking to him, touching his thigh, and complimenting his hands. But she’s not looking at him. The entire time, her eyes are locked in with the camera.
It feels oddly intimate, like she’s really connecting with me. She’s fucking Robby but it’s not from his point of view - it’s from mine.

I found that a bit disorienting at first.
But then things start heating up and I totally got it.
Because there’s a lot going on here that you don’t usually get in POV porn. Or when you do, you don’t see it all that well.
With the camera’s free to go wherever it wants, we get clear shots of Robby’s hands on Leana’s body - both hands because he doesn’t have a camera to hold.
We can see her from head to toe instead of being stuck with a few close angles.
And we get to see Robby go down on her, which is something that’s always missing from scenes like this because POV pussy eating would just be an uncomfortably close shot of a girl’s FUPA.
They even go down on each other, which looks hot as fuck. But again, 69ing doesn’t normally happen in POV porn because all you’d see is a girl’s ass pressed into the camera. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s a whole other porn category.
I watched Leana suck Robby’s cock, get fucked by him in a few positions, and take his load on her tongue - all while she looked right into the camera.
Once it was all over, I had to go watch more of this stuff. Not just because seeing two hot people fuck for 45 minutes is a guaranteed turn on, but because this second (third?) person POV was really intriguing and I wanted to experience more of it.
This time, I went for the scene with Emma Magnolia because - well because just look at her. She’s not just a regular hottie - she’s the type of girl you’d open up your marriage for.

The scene opens the same way the first one did, with a closeup of Emma’s face while she’s talking to Robby.
There’s a bit of banter between them, but it’s not as slow. And neither are they. It’s only a few moments before she’s getting felt up - and not much longer before she’s undoing Robby’s shirt.
They share some casual banter. They make out and get lost in each other a few times. It almost feels like they forget we’re watching, but Emma’s eyes always find their way back to the camera.
She’s forward and confident, telling Robby exactly what she wants and taking it without shame. The action moves at her rhythm because she’s the one taking charge. And Robby’s letting her lead without being passive. Instead of acting like a dick for hire, he touches her sweetly, manhandles her nicely, and dishes out the dirty talk.
And there are some real moments of sexual communication between the two of them, which is always sexy.
The sex looks genuinely pleasurable. It’s squirty and messy. It’s sweet and dirty all at once.
My personal highlight has to be Emma taking a good, deep prone boning - twice! All while trying her best not to break eye contact with the camera. Which is kind of impressive, because I don’t think I could keep my eyes open while getting fucked that good.
But I guess that’s why she’s the pornstar and I’m just the girl writing about her.

POV for People Who Get Off on Intimacy
I kind of assumed POV porn stuck to its basic formula because that’s the only way to actually pull it off.
But nope. Up Close does it differently and it totally works.
If anything, it works a bit too well - at least for my taste. I’m painfully shy and I don’t feel worthy of having these stunning babes looking directly at me.

Still, I couldn’t stop watching. The shots are beautiful. There’s a closeness to the way the girls are framed that I really enjoy. And having their eyes looking right at the camera made it feel surprisingly intimate.
It works great as POV, but even better as cuckold roleplay. Specifically, the gentle and loving kind I personally enjoy the most. The kind of cucking where she looks right at you while sucking off another guy, getting her pussy eaten, and talking about how good he is at fucking her.
I’m impressed that they managed to break out of the usual limitations of POV. You still get the one-on-one feel without every shot being based around the cock at the edge of the screen.
And I really appreciate them taking advantage of that by including lots of touching, plenty of pussy pleasure, and some really fine positions. That’s what great sex is like, and seeing it on screen makes good porn even hotter.
