PMVs Explained: Porn, Music, Repetition, and Trance
236 Plays4 days ago
Porn Music Videos, often called PMVs, are a form of edited adult content that blends explicit visuals with music, repetition, and rhythm. They are commonly associated with gooning culture, trance states, and extended arousal, yet they are rarely discussed with nuance or clarity.
After being interviewed for a recent article on PMVs and gooning, I wanted to create a grounded, educational episode that explains what PMVs actually are, where they came from, why they enhance gooning for some people, and why they feel so hypnotic to the brain.
In this episode, I cover
• What PMVs are and their history
• How PMVs interact with gooning and extended arousal
• Why repetition, music, and pacing create trance like states
• How PMVs differ from guided erotic hypnosis
• PMV creators whose editing style and pacing stand out to me
I was recently quoted in an article exploring PMVs and gooning culture, which is linked here if you want to read the wider discussion and form your own perspective.
Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses adult topics in an educational context.

Introduction to The Slut Next Door podcast
00:00:07
Speaker
Welcome to the Slut Next Door podcast, where we dive deep into desire, unravel kinks and fetishes, and explore the deliciously naughty side of self-discovery.
00:00:25
Speaker
I'm Beatrix Vale, an erotic audio creator, and your guide to all things kinky and curious. So let's begin.
Exploring the world of Porn Music Videos (PMVs)
00:00:43
Speaker
Today, we're going to have a talk about porn music videos, or as people call them, PMVs. If you've come across them, it probably wasn't through a formal introduction. It was more than likely a recommendation, a link, maybe a late night click.
00:01:06
Speaker
And if you've never heard the term before, but something about the description feels familiar, now you have a term for it. I wanted to bring this topic up because I was recently quoted in an article that explored PMVs and gooning culture and then I thought about how I haven't covered this topic on my podcast.
00:01:28
Speaker
But PMVs sit at a really interesting intersection of porn, music, repetition and even trance. They're not just about explicit visuals.
00:01:43
Speaker
I think they're about pacing, rhythm, looping, and staying inside a certain state. This episode is not going to tell you what you should or should not enjoy.
00:01:56
Speaker
And it's definitely not going to be about diagnosing behavior or desire. We're just going to talk about what PMVs are, where they come from, and why they enhance gooning for some people and why they feel so hypnotic.
00:02:14
Speaker
Because, you know, when we understand the mechanics of something, especially something tied to pleasure and arousal, we can replace shame with clarity.
00:02:26
Speaker
And then clarity gives you choice. So we're going to start with the basics, what PMVs actually are, a bit about their history, and then we'll talk about how they interact with Gooning, why they pull attention the way they do.
Personal reflections on love and feminine energy
00:02:42
Speaker
And then I'm going to share a few creators whose work stands out to me, who I'm just huge fans of. So before we jump into the topic of PMVs, I'm going to do my segment called what's currently making me feel like a goddess and because i am a goddess.
00:03:04
Speaker
And i always like to say I'm in a very interesting no point of view in life because I am called goddess every day. This is my job being goddess Beatrix. And i do feel like a goddess every single day in and outside of my content creation as goddess Beatrix. But what's currently making me feel like a goddess is
00:03:36
Speaker
might surprise you actually. It's love. So I've been thinking a lot about the softer side of the human experience, like compassion, acceptance, love.
00:03:53
Speaker
And some people would call this the divine feminine or really just more feminine energy, you know, because we have masculine energy, we have feminine energy. Even if you're a man, you still have feminine energy.
00:04:10
Speaker
And I'm not talking about being a sissy or anything like that. I'm more talking about, you know, like me, i have some masculine energy. i like to be in control. I like to be the one making decisions.
00:04:26
Speaker
I'll go ahead and say, I love making money. These are all masculine. these This is masculine energy. And I also have a lot of feminine energy.
00:04:37
Speaker
But recently I've really been thinking a lot about love and i promise I'm not going to get political. I never want to get political because I understand that people that come to me often are looking to escape so the real world and i love being that for you. I always want to be that for you because I think it's important for us to have a place to go that is warm and accepting and a little escapism.
00:05:14
Speaker
ah but I just find this message so, so important. If... you know And I know a lot of you don't live in the U.S., so i don't know if this topic came up on your news feed, but here in the U.S. we had the Super Bowl.
00:05:35
Speaker
And I do not like watching sports at all, but I do love watching the halftime show. And this year, bad Bunny performed and brought up, I think, just a super important message of love is more powerful than hate.
00:05:54
Speaker
It was a message that was shown on a big screen there in the football stadium. And it just really stirred Something in me was something in that I needed to see, i think, as well and be reminded of that love is more powerful than hate. And I think what was so special about and something kind of more quiet and Bad Bunny's performance is...
00:06:25
Speaker
He shows, I think, that you can be a man and still take on some of those more feminine qualities like love.
00:06:40
Speaker
It's okay to be soft. It's okay to not have to take on those like hardcore masculine energy, which is still, though that type of energy is still important. Like i said, I,
00:06:55
Speaker
I pull on masculine energy all the time. um But, you know, i think that's just such a such a message that's been around for thousands, who knows how many years, that love is just this human emotion that that is so important and so powerful.
00:07:21
Speaker
And it's really got me thinking about how how i give love to you guys, especially the ones that listen to my more erotic audios.
00:07:37
Speaker
Those those are you know, my content is like a form of love. And especially, i think especially, when it is my mommy dom kind of content, it is love.
00:07:54
Speaker
And that it might sound silly because if you were to look at my catalog, some of my files are quite um kinky. Some of them are kind of dark on the darker side of things. But they're still there's still love inside of there. And it truly makes me feel like a goddess to know that I am a voice. I am this energy of or this source, I guess you could say, of love that I know that men come to me to feel and love.
00:08:32
Speaker
and It does. It just makes me feel like a like a goddess. It truly, truly does. So i definitely wanted to talk about that because that's just something that um really has been sticking with me the past couple days.
The art and evolution of PMVs
00:08:51
Speaker
But With that said, let's jump into the topic of PMVs, porn music videos. So PMV stands for porn music video. And at its simplest definition, a PMV is just explicit video clips edited together synced to music. That sounds so basic. But when you do see high quality PMVs, I think you can probably understand that it's not just some gooner that threw his favorite porn clips together. um But I think what makes a PMV a PMV.
00:09:41
Speaker
isn't just that there's music playing in the background. That's definitely not it. I think it's about how tightly everything is paced.
00:09:55
Speaker
The cuts that they do follow the beat, even the visuals, like woman bouncing, follow follow the beat of music.
00:10:07
Speaker
ah Certain moments are emphasized again and again. And even some PMVs tell a story or give a certain feeling.
00:10:21
Speaker
And historically, PMVs do not come from big porn studios or even really big platforms. They come from fans. They come from...
00:10:35
Speaker
normal people from people experimenting with editing software. They share their files on forums or on tube sites.
00:10:48
Speaker
And what I find interesting interesting too is they're, they're remixing long form content. Well, some of them are, some of them are using like, so like short form social media content, but they're,
00:11:03
Speaker
it has i think it also kind of shows how society we just keep turning to short form video. And here, this is where porn has done the same thing.
00:11:18
Speaker
And in my opinion, i think as porn became more and more accessible, even like limitless, the amount of porn that you can find, I think this is where PMVs came from. And I think there's a little bit of the The way that the internet kind of has widened our world as well.
00:11:47
Speaker
Because, I mean, PMV artists are kind of like me, just regular people that learn different skills, if you will, and create content.
00:12:00
Speaker
content And this happens even outside of porn communities and erotic ah communities. You've got people, you know, you can go online and find just everyday people creating things. I think that's something new within the past like decade to where people are figuring out how to use the internet to ah monetize things, to share things.
00:12:31
Speaker
um So I think that that's where PMBs came from as well. And I also think that something that often fascinates me is I think a lot of things were born out of the COVID experience, people being ah locked in doors and...
00:12:53
Speaker
You know, just many creative things happened. And so sometimes I wonder if that's why gooning exploded as well.
00:13:04
Speaker
People were locked in doors and had nothing to do but watch porn and jerk off. But ah yeah, so i see I really do think PMVs evolved like from abundance of porn.
00:13:20
Speaker
I don't think it's because people needed more stimulation, but people found just an interesting way to get that stimulation.
The hypnotic allure of PMVs
00:13:33
Speaker
And now let's talk about why and how PMVs enhance gooning. Now, if you don't know what gooning is, go through my podcast episodes. i have an episode where I explain what gooning is or do a quick Google search.
00:13:53
Speaker
But so we're just going assume you do know what gooning is. But I think PMVs are great for Gooners because for one, it removes decision making.
00:14:08
Speaker
So there's no like clicking around. There's no choosing. Most of the time, there's not even a narrative to follow. you turn on the PMV and boom, you've got this beautiful um piece of content.
00:14:25
Speaker
And what's very, very interesting too Our PMVs, a lot of them, not all of them, but a lot of them use split screens. So you've got, you know, the the view of the video and there are typically I've noticed there's three. Like so imagine the screen split into three.
00:14:44
Speaker
And so you've got one video, but you've got three views playing at the same time. And so that's an interesting thing because you've got, let's say, a three minute PMV.
00:14:56
Speaker
And within those three minutes, your eyes are taking in more than three minutes of content. You're actually taking in take three minutes times three, nine minutes of content in one view.
00:15:14
Speaker
And if you know gurning, you know gurning is all about edging, like not not climaxing and having an end. And so another very interesting thing about PMVs is is Y'all know, like if you've watched porn, obviously, like there're there are moments in the and this scene where things amp up and that's typically when the user is going to climax where a PMV is just giving you small little bits of hot scenes, but it's not giving you what you want, which is that like scene that's going to... um
00:15:57
Speaker
NICU Climax. It's giving you shots of quick visuals and that's actually perfect for gooning because you're not getting everything.
00:16:10
Speaker
You're getting lots of teases at once. And another reason it's just perfect for gooning, and we're gonna get into this a lot deeper here in a moment, is gooning can become trance-like.
00:16:28
Speaker
And PMVs, the way they are edited and the music just lends itself to that trance-like effect where there's time distortion,
00:16:43
Speaker
You know, time just simply melts away because you're locked into this a magical loop of visual bliss. And a lot of gooners are seeking that trance-like effect. They're looking to lose their mind, to to feel that mind-melting effect. And PMVs are quite hypnotic.
00:17:10
Speaker
And so I'll give you a little background too. i love to talk about this. So gosh, this was two or three years ago, maybe three, maybe closer to three years ago when I really first started doing gooning content. Like I understood gooning, totally understood it, but I had not experienced gooning myself. And i thought, you know, I really need to.
00:17:39
Speaker
i really need to experience what gooning is so I can best provide ah gooning content. And so in my Discord server, I planned a time and I invited my followers to join me that we would go into a voice channel.
00:18:00
Speaker
i would stream porn. And we would goon together because I just I wanted to experience it. And I figured it sounded more fun to me to do it with other people. So that's what we did is we ah stream porn. And was either two or three hours. i can't remember. Um, but it was very eyeopening because like, obviously I had masturbated in my life before, but I, I definitely, when I have my solo time, I am not prolonging anything. I'm getting to the point. Um, there may be multiple orgasms, but, um, I'm, I'm, I'm definitely not prolonging. I'm definitely not edging. So,
00:18:49
Speaker
Yeah, it that was very interesting. And what I definitely keyed into and that moment is I did feel that drug-like experience. I did feel a little high off of Gooning.
00:19:07
Speaker
off of edging rather and porn became just something else and especially the PMVs that's something I'll never forget and I think why I why i understand PMVs so well because In that enhanced gutting state for me, I just wanted PMV after PMV after PMV. I just wanted to keep watching them because it was just...
00:19:39
Speaker
it was just It was like giving me candy. I just wanted more and more of it. And the PMVs just enhanced that goon-like high.
00:19:55
Speaker
So I can say without a doubt and that PMVs were made for gooning. They're actually perfect for gooning. And i really understand understood too that...
00:20:09
Speaker
because i had masturbated to porn before and I know that the certain certain images, certain scenes are going to push me over the edge.
00:20:20
Speaker
PMVs do not give you that. They give you teases of it, but they do not give you that push over the edge typically.
00:20:32
Speaker
But let's get into now why PMVs feel so hypnotic because they really do and they are not hypnosis but they are hypnotic.
00:20:49
Speaker
They're mesmerizing. They can induce a trans-like effect and here are the reasons why. so Repetition is a very core piece of hypnosis and also for PMVs. PMVs can be very repetitive and repetition helps induce trance. And then throw into there the music that is chosen for the PMV that can also help induce trance.
00:21:28
Speaker
I don't want to say a trans-like effect because, well, sometimes music can be a bit trancy, but going on the same idea that repetition induces trans, music also has patterns and repetition. So that adds to it. And then also in PMVs, you have very fast cuts, like edits into new scenes or new visuals that, that overloads your conscious processing. That same thing is used in hypnosis, like confusion. um If you've ever heard hypnophiles, there's ah there's like multiple layers used sometimes, and that's on purpose because your your conscious brain can't really...
Appreciating PMV artistry and personal experiences
00:22:17
Speaker
grab onto anything. so then that helps your subconscious take over and just put that conscious part of your brain away.
00:22:30
Speaker
So you've got that. And then you've got in PMVs like very predictable rhythms. And that allows your brain to just let go when things start becoming more predictable. And then you've also got the idea...
00:22:48
Speaker
You know, we've all seen the pendulum swinging um as a form of hypnosis. When your eye goes back and forth like that, that induces trance. And PMV editors, I don't know if they know this, but when they use the three split screen thing,
00:23:12
Speaker
Your eye is doing the same thing. It's going back and forth, like trying to catch each scene, which becomes a trans-like ah effect because your eyes are doing the same thing that it does when you follow...
00:23:29
Speaker
the pendulum swinging, which is a classic hypnosis technique. So there's a lot of things going on in the PMV that just all the parts together equal a super hypnotic experience.
00:23:47
Speaker
And now I'm going to bring up some of my favorite PMV artists and kind of have fangirl moments here because I do truly appreciate these artists work. I think they are just so talented and i probably cannot link these because I post on YouTube and YouTube doesn't like explicit links. So definitely Google them if they if you have interest, if you've never heard of them.
00:24:20
Speaker
So the first... editor that I am the biggest fangirl of is xfifi he used to post on YouTube I don't think he's on there anymore um he is known for doing and I haven't caught up with his recent work so don't know if he's went into the more nude but when I first discovered him all of his content was non-nude so he's using a lot of social media clips and he's using a lot of
00:25:01
Speaker
just kind of teasing. ah So they can, even though they're non-nude, they're still very sexual, very teasing, very seductive. um He does such a good job. First of all, his music choices are top notch in my opinion. he uses the best music and his edits are so beautiful. They are so beautiful. And when I first saw his work,
00:25:31
Speaker
I immediately, and me it actually alarmed me a little bit because i don't like going into trans. I have control issues and like his his videos, immediately I could feel like I was going into trans-like state. They're so trippy.
00:25:53
Speaker
um He is so, so talented. Highly, he is just my favorite. um The next artist I think is just really, in my opinion, from what I've seen from the research I've done, really jump-started PMV kind of community is that Noodle Dude.
00:26:22
Speaker
Highly talented. i mean, the edits he's he's done are It's just impressive. For one, the the skill that he has is just unmatched. And i i personally love the themes that he does. It's very thematic.
00:26:46
Speaker
There's, um I think it's called Hot Girl Summer or something about summer, where you literally feel like you're watching these girls on on social media, like, ah vlogging about their summer vacations and then having sex. You know, like, it's just, it's so it was so well done. And then another favorite of mine is goth versus e-girl I mean just that he really tells a story so does xvp but noodle dude I think really really tells a story and he the way he uses color too I had the pleasure of interviewing him and he mentioned color I believe and
00:27:35
Speaker
Like i get super impressed that these guys, the amount of time they must spend collecting these sources, which I laugh because, oh no, they have to watch Sexy Woman dance around and and stuff. So I really don't think they mind. But for me, I think about the amount of time spent doing that is just very impressive. Um, but yeah, he's just, I think it's just a pioneer in the PMV world and something i meant to bring up earlier.
00:28:14
Speaker
i think what I really appreciate that I see PMV artists doing they they are leaving the names of the women that they got the source from. So like at the end, there's kind of like credits. And personally, if I were a visual artist, like on OnlyFans,
00:28:42
Speaker
I would want to be in everyone's PMV because that has to be the best form of promotion because it's free promotion really. um I've been in some of the Gooner communities and they'll be like, oh my gosh, who is that at minute 210? I need to know who is that? Who is that?
00:29:02
Speaker
like And so if you're if you have your own kind of OnlyFans whatever platform you're using, that's the best form of promotion. You've got a lot of eyes on you. and so I really appreciate that that seems to be a trend that they're starting to do is having the credits at the end, um naming who the artists are. I think that's really, really cool.
00:29:28
Speaker
um Another super talented, i mean, beyond ah Seriously, I i watch their their PMVs and my mind is blown. um They are named Source Girl.
00:29:47
Speaker
And funny story, a few years ago, i went to this online event where people were streaming. So they they have something called PMV Games where every year...
00:30:02
Speaker
people submit their PMVs and they get judged to who was the best. And so I attended this online event where people were streaming. i think they were judges.
00:30:18
Speaker
And so they were judging, but also streaming. um And I loved it because I got to see these awesome PMVs with a group of people. And I remember sitting there and this one comes on and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. That's that's my voice. Oh my God. Like it was so weird because um Source Girl did not like ask my permission, which I'm totally okay with because they credited me and their PMV. And like I said, free promotion. um
00:30:52
Speaker
And and i I just thought it was so freaking awesome. Like I think it's so cool. i I really wasn't mad at all. um But anyway, they had used one of my audios and made a PMV. like And so I got to see this visual representation of this of this audio I had created and it was...
00:31:17
Speaker
It was so well done. And so I promise I'm not including them because um I'm biased, but honestly, their work...
00:31:28
Speaker
over the past couple years even after they used that audio of mine has been even better. um I recently watched one and I... Oh my gosh. it it Again, it alarmed me of how quickly i fell into a trance. Now, what I like about Source Girl...
00:31:50
Speaker
is they do really lean towards kind of the hypnotic element of it. This one particular one use uses clicker training.
00:32:02
Speaker
And man, it is just, it is top tier PMV. I'm telling top tier. So highly suggest you go check out their work. it is It'll blow your mind, truly. It'll blow your mind, I promise.
00:32:19
Speaker
um And then my last favorite PMV artist, I believe, and I may be wrong, but I believe they don't do it anymore. I wish i hope that's not true, but...
00:32:35
Speaker
um Anyway, PMV HQ is what they go by. and holy moly. So I include them because so I experienced their PMVs during that goon session that I had that I participated in And when I saw their PMVs, when I was gooned out of my mind,
00:32:59
Speaker
whoa, like, whoa. I'm curious if their PMVs feel the same way when you're not edged and gooned, but I'm telling you what they are so strong. That is a strong editor.
00:33:21
Speaker
what ah What I also appreciated as it was just explicit raunchy porn. So it was just like, it was goon candy in the most decadent way. It's very high impact.
00:33:40
Speaker
The...
00:33:44
Speaker
it just takes porn. They're PMVs. It takes porn and somehow makes it a hundred times better. I almost don't have words for what I experienced.
00:33:58
Speaker
ah I'm just going to say, if you're a lover of porn and highly suggest their edits. So yeah, so that there was my quick little fangirl moment. Love those artists. I am i am big fans and um i hope they just keep creating just amazing things. So I'm going to stop here for today.
Conclusion and listener engagement
00:34:27
Speaker
If this conversation sparked any curiosity for you or if you want to see how PMVs and Gooning are being discussed more broadly right now,
00:34:38
Speaker
I was, like I mentioned at the beginning, recently interviewed for a great article that explores this topic in more depth from multiple perspectives too. And I'm going to link that article in the episode description summary, hopefully.
00:34:58
Speaker
YouTube won't be mad with that. I don't think so because it's through liberation and i'm I'm sure there's a more French way to say it but in in English I would call it liberation. It's the Liberation newspaper in France who published article. They have a sex blog where they have, you know, what looks like just really honest and smart conversations about sex and kink. um A lot of what I do here on the podcast. So I was very impressed. The article was so well done. highly suggest a read into it. But my perspective is in the article um and it comes from my work with trans erotic audio, really understanding how rhythm and repetition and attention shape arousal.
00:35:57
Speaker
And i hope this episode ah gave you context if you needed it, language around what PMVs are. um if you'd like to continue exploring, the article is in the episode description.
00:36:13
Speaker
i'm also more than happy to talk about it um with you. i have ways that you can reach out to me um or even explore my gooning content if you click on my link also and the episode summary. But thank you so much for listening to this episode and until next time.
00:36:39
Speaker
And that's a wrap for this episode of The Slut Next Door, where we dive deep into the raw, unapologetic truths of human desire.
