Point-of-view pornography

Point-of-view pornography (also known as POV porn) is adult entertainment filmed to look as if the watcher were experiencing the sex act themselves.

In POV porn, the shooting style is generally similar to gonzo pornography, with the person receiving sexual gratification holding the camera themselves—aiming it down at the actor who is performing the sex act.

This yields a view that would not be obtainable directly through the eyes of a person while experiencing the sex act.

Hamedori is a genre of Japanese pornography in which a male adult video (AV) actor or director serves as the camera operator.

The term "hamedori" came into use about 1988–1989, but it was only a small niche area until it was popularized at V&R Planning by director Company Matsuo.
