Gonzo pornography is a genre variety of pornographic films in which the actor is involved in sex scenes and becomes one of the direct participants. Also, gonzo pornography is characterized by large naturalistic filming plans, and often some freakish behavior of the participants. This kind of porn got its name from gonzo journalism, where the reporter was completely immersed in the action that he had to describe, and he himself acted as one of its elements. By analogy, gonzo pornography involves the active participation of the cameraman or the shooting director as an actor, which is fundamentally different from the standard approach to shooting such films, in which the performers of sex scenes and the shooting staff a priori cannot intersect in the frame.
