OK, this is the familiar "what do you hate in porn?" topic, but then, if possible, concretised by an example of a Rebecca scene that had much more potential. The first commandment is of course that it's never (NEVER EVER) the fault of Rebecca when a scene goes wrong but of the director, the cameraman, bad editing etc. It's obvious that personal taste plays a role here, but if enough people give their opinion, maybe a pattern will arise which could indicate a few "don'ts". Maybe Rebecca has also a scene of hers about which she was very disappointed when she saw it back.
A scene of Rebecca that could have been so much better IMO is her second scene (with Peter North) in the F-zone. The scene begins very promissing with Rebecca wearing a very nice outfit and with a nice hairstyle. But then points of irritation begin to accumulate. While Rebecca is giving a BJ, there are again and again long shots of the "wife" of Peter overhearing the scene. These shots are too long and that makes you lose the feeling of the action, you can't stay, eh, focused. Cutting from one scene to the other, interrupting the action, is IMO a big turn off. The lighting is too dark in an attempt to create an intimate atmosphere, that makes the scene much less intense. And then in the action on the couch, there are much too long close ups of Peter's tool pumping in and out of Rebecca's pussy. I really don't like it when there are long close ups of body parts, except of the face and in particular the eyes (and with that I mean of course the woman's face). Fortunately, in the cum shot, there's not a long close up of the actor's face. I really hate the usual long zoom in on the guy's face when he comes, that's never appropriate.
I do not like it when the director cuts away from the girl's face for the money shot, for example if the money-shot is directed on the bum. I don't want the focus of the shot to be the man's doodle (or man's face for that matter), I like to see the girl's reaction, shock, amazement, laughter etc.
If the point-of-splash is away from the girl's face, just frame the shot so it includes the face as well as the squirt.
I wish directors would not cut scenes too soon when the actors and actresses are laughing and joking (or interacting in any way) at the end of the scene.
As Axion suggested in another thread, you could even keep the camera going to show the clean-up/shower etc at the end.
Porn music is almost always horrible. But what makes it most annoying of all is when it is so loud that you cannot hear the actors.
A sex scene is best when you hear nothing but the talking, whispering, moaning, grunting, etc. of the performers. But if there has to be music then, for God's sake, KEEP THE VOLUME LOW!

I agree partially, bad music can force you to watch a scene on mute. But the right, discrete background music can keep the "flow" in a scene. F.i. in the DP black & white scene I found that the background music was a plus.
There was an 80's film I saw where the audio had none of the actors, but it was all music--the theme to The People's Court. I have no idea if it was meant as a parody, but it was incredibly funny.

Everybody's entitled to his opinion of course, but IMO porn and humour don't go well together, porn is not supposed to be funny.
I remember a Beavis & Butthead parody (Beaver & Butt face) in which Rebecca was actually very hot but which was totally ruined for me by the fact that an attempt was made to make the scene funny in Beavis & Butthead style.
