In a recent pre-scene meltdown, (video), porn newcomer Megan Moore "really wants to understand" the scene about to be shot, because the director of a prior shoot at (rhymes with Naughty America) put the "8 second rule" of fear in her - meaning if she didn't vocalize at least every 8 seconds during the scene, "cut" would be called, and if it happened too many times, she risked being thrown off the set. Her claim begs the question, is the 8 second rule fairly common among porn directors?

Understandably, most directors don't want the prolonged awkward silence of something like the typical Mike South video - him slouched over the girl missionary like a praying mantis, sweating and tongue-wagging, and she staring quietly at the ceiling grasping at memories of happier times.

On the other hand, with an 8 second rule, a director runs the risk of the girl going overboard, like this girl at the 1:20 mark, who takes it to the next level and ends up possessed by demons - call the Exorcist!

In the end it's a toss up - not enough sound and the scene may end up stale. Too much and little missy's brain may melt under the constant scorn of the stopwatch. As for Megan Moore, she may come off as an incredible pain. I think she's just lovably wacky.
