Seriously Ronnie I think it's great that all models are different and all shows are different. I really don't like the idea of a training video to teach models how to become accomplished performers. Some models are naive and others are precocious. They have different personalities and techniques and styles, different capabilities and strengths and weaknesses. And, as you say, we all have our own preferences 
It's because we all have our own preferences that I ignore other people's reviews when deciding what models to visit or take private - I might not like a model who other members have raved about, and I might like a model whom others don't. For the same reason I seldom write reviews and I never contribute to "Who Is The Greatest Model Of All" or similar threads 
Vive la différence! 
I agree with your first para, Jeffie. Interesting how we reacted differently to photomanpa's suggestion that the Matt Tyler VOD should be a training VOD. Your reaction was "we don't need a training VOD" and mine was "lets check it out and see if it is that good". Both perfectly reasonable reactions.
You made the fun point that models don't need training to jerk off (although it is another job I would like to apply for here! They wouldn't let me have the Official Measurer of Cocks post, and you saw the state I was in after I did the job of Daily VOD Inspector .....

)
There might be scope for some models to get tips on doing better shows (cam position, long shots, close ups etc) but that is a bit idealistic. I love the way that the member who pays for the show is effectively the producer and director. That provides lots of variety, in addition to the varied talents of the performers that you mention.
I broadly agree with your second para about performer reviews. There are so many reviews which say "xxxxx is the hottest guy on this site" and my reaction (pretty well everyone's reaction) is usually on the lines of "I will be the judge of that". However, informative reviews from trusted reviewers are helpful. The number of different reviews (or lack of reviews) can be significant. And I always think that VOD reviews are very important. There are so many to choose from.
Good topics to discuss over a drink
