Point of view pornography (POV), also known as hamedori (ハメ撮り?), is adult entertainment that is filmed to look as if the watcher were experiencing the sex act themselves. In POV porn, the shooting style is generally similar to gonzo pornography. The person receiving sexual gratification holds the camera him- or herself and aims it down at the actress or actor who is pleasuring him or herself. This is in contrast to having a separate camera crew filming the action. The effect is to give the viewer the sense that they are experiencing the sexual acts they are watching, as opposed to simply watching others as a voyeur. Some POV/gonzo porn sometimes breaks the strict point-of-view convention; for instance Amateur Allure has a trademark shot where the sexually performing cameraman circles a handycam around the sexually performing model's head, yielding a view that would not be obtainable directly through the eyes of a person while experiencing the sex act. There is however no third party camera work involved.
