Popular Types of JOI
JOI content type is not one-size-fits-all; it can be tailored to everyone’s individual needs. Here are some of my favorite types of JOI content, as well as some of my fans’ favorites:
• Cum Countdown: This is probably my most requested type of JOI video. You begin by teasing the viewer, telling them how to stroke, how fast and so on. The twist is that it concludes with counting down to zero and telling the viewer when to cum. This can also involve cum denial, depending on the execution. You can throw in some curveballs, pausing mid-countdown. For example, “Eight… Seven… Hands off! Don’t touch your dick again until I say so.”
• Small Penis Humiliation: This is very popular among fans who love to be degraded and humiliated. The spectrum can range from gentle degradation in the form of pity to completely tearing someone down and attempting to hurt their feelings with potentially triggering phrases. Just keep in mind that everyone has their own limits, so consent should be clearly established in advance.
• ASMR: Focusing on soft, breathy whispering, this type of JOI really dials in on the senses. The aim here is to give the viewer goosebumps and tingles and to fully relax them. The focus is generally on the voice and soft sounds of moaning, licking lips, breathing and such. If this is something you have a strong interest in, I recommend researching ASMR-friendly microphones and possibly investing in something high-quality. It really makes a difference.
• Cosplay: Some fans love to imagine doing sexy, dirty things with their favorite characters from video games, movies, TV shows and manga. Cosplaying those characters can give your fans a chance to explore their biggest fantasies. If you already cosplay, you will definitely want to add this one to your repertoire. Bonus points if it’s a character you also know and love.
• CIM: Cum-in-mouth (CIM) JOIs are for fans who want to be told to cum into their own mouth. While I don’t commonly get requests for this one, it can be a lot of fun for the dommes/doms out there, as it can be coupled with cum denial, a cum countdown or twisted into a form of BDSM punishment.
Planning and Preparing
Whatever type of JOI you are producing, something you came up with or a fan request, it is important to map out the shoot in advance. What’s the premise? How will you set the scene? What tone will you use? How does it end?
Let the premise guide your decisions about things like wardrobe and tone. If it is a cosplay JOI, it helps not only to get the costume but also to study up on the character. In terms of delivery, you may want to sound dominating, or affectionate for a girlfriend experience. Do you want to include a striptease or stay fully clothed? It all depends on what you want to create or what the fan requested.
How Long Should the Video Be?
Now that we have set the premise, tone and mood, how about the length?
Length can be easy to tweak in a cum countdown JOI, since the countdown can be dragged out for however long you want. I like to take my time with countdowns, counting slowly, pausing and teasing in between. Just don’t get so sidetracked that you forget what number you were on!
On the other hand, ASMR is meant to be relaxing and soothing, so you should definitely take your time with this kind of JOI. Rushing ASMR is not a good idea, so be sure you’re committed to the length of time needed to give an amazing ASMR experience.
The Finish Line
Finally, how would you like your viewer to cum, if at all? This is where you can decide whether to really edge the viewer, or possibly even deny them. Perhaps they’ll have to wait for a sequel, and only cum next time. Or maybe they can cum only if they do so on command, in a specific way that you dictate. Have some fun with this and feel out what your viewers love when it’s time for them to cum.
With time and practice, you will learn what JOI style you excel at. The more comfortable and confident you can be when delivering a JOI, the better! You might not be a pro at every single type of JOI, but once you find your personal specialty, you can perfect your craft and take your rightful place in the vast and ever-growing JOI category.
