Directed by Tristan Taormino

Starring Claire Adams, Chayse Evans, April Flores, Sinnamon Love, Adrianna Nicole, Dylan Ryan, Bobbi Starr, Madison Young, Mark Davis, James Deen, Shane Diesel, Richard Mann, Nathan Menace, and Orpheus Black.

The second installment of the AVN Award nominated series from award winning author and filmmaker Tristan Taormino. The scenes are based entirely on the real fantasies of female performers, which run the gamut from dominance to submission. Through deeply personal interviews, you’ll discover their definitions of rough sex, why they love it, how they establish trust with their partners, and what they need to feel safe to play on the edge. With scenes that are part documentary and part erotic vignette, Rough Sex dares to challenge conventional wisdom about the fantasy lives of women.

They create the scenes. They choose their partners. They control what happens. Mistress Claire takes her pet April on an unforgettable ride. Bobbi tastes total submission at the back of her throat. Ponygirl Madison gets trained. Chayse and Mark double team slave Adrianna. Madison bakes a cake for her Mistress with interesting results. Sinnamon serves her Master (and his friends) at a poker game. Each woman shares her most intimate desires, tests her own boundaries, and rides the seductive line between pleasure and pain. Witness female sexuality at its most extreme: raw, rough, and real.

With food fetish play, facesitting, strap-on sex, pony play, flogging, training, clothespins, forced orgasms, spreader bars, bondage, wrestling, slapping, spanking, dominance and submission, service, punishment, knife play, hot wax, and faceslapping, Rough Sex 2 is a lot kinkier than Rough Sex 1. It explores some of the most alluring and taboo elements of BDSM.

Hello,

I’m Violet Blue: bestselling and award-winning author, and educator who speaks from UCSF and UC Berkley (Boalt) to Google Inc. Tech Talks on my field of expertise — exactly what this Facebook group page was about.

My page did not violate any of the reasons stated for deletion. It was under constant attack by people who disagreed with our point of view, and constantly reported our posts and images, even though we were very careful not to violate your Terms. May I find out why the page was removed? It is my utmost priority to follow and uphold Facebook community rules and standards. With national media attention to the page, questions will be raised and I hope to be able to furnish answers. Especially with a higher minded page of over 3000 members seeking community and discussion around a topic that did not target any group, threaten anyone, or link/depict/suggest inappropriate content. In fact, I policed the posts hourly for spam and attacks on our members, of which there were many. We never posted obscenity in links or images, though innocent user photos seemed to be increasingly mysteriously removed.

I feel that our page was targeted, and that we did nothing to violate the community standards of Facebook, which we sought to uphold. Any help to find out why this has happened would be deeply appreciated. I do not want to be talking to press about this in the next few days and be left guessing. We sought a safe place to discuss sex culture in media, and that is all.

I sincerely hope we can resolve this. Salon and Examiner wrote about our page as a signifier of community organization around women’s empowerment, calling it a new movement for women’s rights. I could tell we were under attack by those who violently opposed our discussions and representation as a community intersection for enriched discussions about important women’s rights issues. This development is confusing and saddening.

This fostering of group community around female empowerment and the page topic stems from my work as a talkshow guest (Oprah), international conference speaker, and columnist for various national and international magazines and publications (Oprah Magazine, Forbes.com, MacLife, etc) and media pundit (Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, Esquire, Redbook, Wired, etc).

Please help me understand what I can tell media outlets asking about this, and the over 3K member we had in the page group.

Sincere thanks,
Violet Blue

Nostalgia (2009)
Studio- Reel Queer Productions / Good Releasing
Director- Courtney Trouble
Cast- April Flores, Kimberly Kane, Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Madison Young, Trouble, Pepper Sox, Sealu Sideshow, Destiny Prince, Selena Raven, Tina Horn, Kimberlee Cline, Carson, Sadie Lune, and Carol Queen

In case you haven’t heard, GoodVibes.com now has its own adult porn production studio, GoodReleasing.com and I am overjoyed.  Two of my favorite girl-girl directors—Courtney Trouble (NoFauxxx.com) and Madison Young (MadisonBound.com)—are producing woman-made queer porn under Reel Queer Productions and were nominated at this years AVN Awards.  I have reviewed quite a few of both their films on PopMyCherryReview.com and also her on SexCarnival that you can also check out.

Nostalgia (2009) is a super-cool porno by up-and-cumming director, Courtney Trouble.  As the tile indicates, it has a nostalgic feel and pays homage to the late great Marilyn Chambers who sadly died of an aneurysm in April last year.  Marilyn Chambers was best known for her portrayal in Behind the Green Door (1972) in which her character Gloria gets kidnapped and “raped” before a live sleazy circus-like audience.

Scene 1- (Homage to Behind the Green Door) All girl three-way starring Jiz Lee

Two women are making out on a couch, one in a feather mask who is “warming” the other girl up (Gloria) to get her ready for the circus-rape orgy scene.  Killer tunes play in the background.  “Gloria” is then lead blindfolded into a dungeon scene where several spectators await including Carol Queen with a crazy voyeuristic smile on her face. “Gloria” is then “ravished” upon a stage by one the feathered girl, when in walks Jiz Lee, likewise feather-masked sporting a big strap-on.  The audience claps as both feather-masked women play with her, while Jiz mounts her, first slowly, then hard and fast.  She orgasms? Then both masked ladies squirt fem ejaculate over her.  This scene doesn’t have the impact that my memory has of the original film, but then I was probably pretty impressionable back then, and I can remember it being pretty “Wow!”  What may have lacked during this scene for me was the “rape” element.  In this film the scene is very “consensual” and doesn’t have the scary rape-fantasy scenario that many women fantasize about.  And, while I don’t agree with nonconsensual sex in real life, in fantasy having rough sex and being taken is hot.  Also, I remember the audience being more involved in the original than they are here. It was way more like a circus freak show, and being a freak, I loved the edgy atmosphere of the Behind the Green Door much better.  Of course, this is Courtney’s own take on it, but it just didn’t work for me as well as the original.

Interlude- Courtney & Pepper

Meanwhile, to begin the film and in between each episode, Courtney and real-life lover Pepper are making out as they watch the films via a computer screen. These are just short interludes until the end of the film.

Scene 2- (Homage to Deep Throat) All girl three-way with Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich and Madison Young.

In this homage to Deep Throat Madison plays a patient who can’t orgasm, or even feel any arousal what-so-ever from sex.  She comes to Dr. Syd for help as Jiz plays the trusty nurse in a blonde wig.  Sid is amazing in her geek glasses as the doctor, very hot and funny.  Got some great lines and definitely doesn’t fuck them up.  Madison does a pretty good job, but is very melodramatic.  Given that it is comedic she was most likely supposed to ham it up a bit.  Dr. Sid tries several methods to arouse Madison: bondage, a hitachi, strap-on; each to no avail.  Dr. Sid then discovers that Madison’s clit is in her throat.  “Ah ha!  I zink we’ve found it!”  Madison then hungrily gobbles down Sid’s strap-on and is a pro at it.  You would really think she is getting off by it and perhaps she is.  Once the cock squirts silver glitter and fireworks ensue, the three get it on and Sid fucks Madison with a golf club, which is very cool and has quite a technique.  “I do believe you’re cured”, says Dr. Sid.  Fucking awesome scene!  Very fun, hot and funny!

Scene 3- (Homage to Babylon Pink) with Tina Horn

I never saw Babylon Pink, so can’t refer to it for comparison.  But, this scene was really kind of boring and didn’t seem to have much focus or built-up progression.  It features Tina Horn (who was awesome in Seven Minutes in Heaven).  Here, you can barely hear them over the music, and I never get into it.  The scenario is three gals sitting down to lunch in this weird room that looks like an empty stage.  One is a vegan and is uninterested in the other two women’s discussion about meat.  Turned off I guess is more appropriate.  So she fantasizes about having sex, first as the bottom, then turning the tables and topping the other two.  Like I said, press FF and skip it.

Scene 4- (Homage to the Devil in Miss Jones) with April Flores, Kimberly Kane, Courtney Trouble and Pepper

I didn’t see the original Devil in Miss Jones, but saw 3 & 4 with Amber Lynn and Vanessa Del Rio which was uber hot.  This scene stars April Flores as a lonely woman who commits suicide and then finds herself in purgatory.  I really love the beginning atmosphere of the scene as April stares at herself in the mirror and then runs the bathtub where she will slit her wrist (which is hinted at with red glitter running down the side of the tub and her floating in the bathtub full of blood).  It could have been more alt, edgy horror-show, but was very artistic and April is fantastic.  So, she is transported to purgatory (which is a lot like hell) and the scene becomes more comical.  Kimberly Kane (the Devil’s assistant) meets her at the door to hell and tells her she has a chance to go back if she engages in one of the deadly sins, which she of course picks lust.  Kane then brings April into a room where Courtney and Pepper are making out.  A fuck-fest ensues, but mainly the couples stay together until the end.  Kane and April are seriously hot and I wish the scene wasn’t as cut up as it was, and focused longer on them.  Not that I didn’t get into Courtney and Pepper, I just wanted more of Kane and April.  By the end they are all having sex together in a massive orgy and assume a very cool position with April and Courtney are facing each other as they boink tits and their partners lay under them eating them out.  Great scene!  But give me more April & Kimberly!

The END credits are dedicated to Marilyn Chambers and then there is an inserted vignette that goes back to Dr. Sid talking into a recorder about his last patient Madison, as Jiz fucks her from behind.  Dr. Sid talks about discovering a pleasure spot in her throat and calls it the Blakovich spot.  Again, pretty funny and unexpected.  It left me smiling and wanting more, more, more!

This film also has killer glitter-trash tunes featuring The Need, Veronica Lipgloss, TWIN, and Two Ton Boa, and was nominated for an AVN for the music.

Overall, Nostalgia was very good despite the third scene which didn’t cut it and the first which could have been much more edgy.  A great attempt at honoring these classics, which are big shoes to fit into.  I really love that Courtney Trouble is trying to do something radically different with porn and take it into a new, or even retro direction.

A few Tweeters pointed me to Richard Abowitz’s article on why porn-for-profit is dying:

Every January, the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas is the biggest annual gathering of the adult film industry. But the biggest is suddenly a lot smaller. The 2010 AEE convention, which ran Thursday through Sunday, had shrunk from packing two floors of the Venetian’s Sands Expo Center last year down to one floor (and that one with lots of empty space).

“The AEE show is an example of what the business faces. There are fewer fans, less foot traffic, and less companies exhibiting,” said Steve Javors, editor in chief of industry trade publication XBIZ. “During the 2000s, porn kept expanding outward. We thought there was an insatiable appetite for porn, and there would keep being more companies and more porn stars. Now, we are finding out that is not true.”

He goes on to cite piracy, video on demand, the loss of taboo, online gaming and porn star hookers as the main reasons, but you should read the full article.

[via Ms. Naughty]

Candida Royalle says on her Face book-

Anyone catch Jenna Jameson on the Oprah show? Jenna trying to take credit for ‘feminist porn’ was a joke. Only thing worse was watching Vivid founder Steve Hirsch try to take credit for the ‘couples market’. Oh really? Was he even in business when I created my Femme line for women and couples in 1984? Oprah couldn’t h…ave looked more uncomfortable. I guess even Oprah has to play the game for November sweeps month.

So here’s the deal: I was called by the producers in June and worked with them for 5 months on that show…only to be canned at the last minute along with a bevy of other far more qualified and significant women who made a difference for women in porn…like Nina Hartley who graduated Magna cum Laude in nursing and has directed her own ‘how to’ vids for years, and Jamye Waxman who has a masters in Sex Ed and who’s written two self-help books for women and directed pro-woman vids…

In the end they went for the most famous, wealthiest and recognizable person who they hoped would bring in the ratings…it is after all sweeps month. I think the most telling moment was when a rather shell-shocked looking Oprah turned to her audience with a forced smile and asked, ‘Did we all learn something? Did we all have fun?’, and the camera panned the entire audience, and NONE of them, not ONE, applauded or had a smile on their face. They were completely bemused.

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex (2009)
Studio: Vivid
Director: Tristan Taormino
Cast: Adrianna Nicole, Christian XXX, Daniel Wylde, Derrick Pierce, Francesca Le, Julius Ceazher, Marco Banderas, Marie Luv, Mark Davis, Sasha Grey, Satine Phoenix

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex is brutally sexy!  It has a very cool and simple premise: five hot vixens dream up their best “rough sex” fantasies and get to live them out on camera with their most desired stud porn hunks.  The idea itself is a wet dream come true, and when these sassy (or submissive) sex kittens team up with guys who like to play rough, the sparks begin to fly.

If you are into naughty role playing and hardcore, rough sex, this film is for you. They don’t fool around and there is plenty of face slapping, humiliation, degradation, whacking and general “man”-handling action going down. The sex is pretty rough and the fantasies are fairly common role-play scenarios that many women have. There are three fem-submissive scenes about being forced or taken like Adrianna Nicole’s intruder alert, Marie Luv’s punishment and Satine Phoenix’s stranded damsel meets dominant stranger.  Then, there are the divas that turn the tables on their fuck obsessions such as Francesca Lee’s femdomme supremacy and Sasha Grey’s switch play.  Each scene features a prelude interview of the female cast member as she talks about what’s hot and what’s not, and why “rough sex” makes her wet.

Scene 1- Adrianna and Marco

Adrianna longs for fantasy rape by an intruder who breaks into her apartment. Just as she gets out of the shower, Marco steals up behind her, grabs her, and then clasps a hand over her mouth warning her not to scream.  Adrianna’s eyes go wide with fear and this scene looks like it is going to be really hot.  He slaps her around a bit, chokes her, and then drags her into the bedroom like a dog on a leash.  After that, the scene kind-of looses it raw edge and the intensity in those first few seconds is really never captured again.  Sure, it’s rough, but there is something lacking, like my connection with the performers.  While they both seem genuine, I never really get into it and I find myself critiquing it rather than enjoying the scene for what it is.

Scene 2- Satine and Derrick

Whoa!  This scene is perhaps the best in the film.  So fucking hot, it sizzles and the chemistry between Satine and Derrick is tangible. Not to mention that Derrick is to die for (bald, alt and tattooed, with a rock-hard body) and Satine is a sultry little minx. Satine’s fantasy is getting stranded on a lost desert road, where she meets a “kindly stranger” who offers to stay with her until someone comes for her vehicle.  The sun is hot, the sand is dusty, they are sweating and flirting, and then things turn a bit dangerous.  Derrick realizes no-one is coming for a while and he can have his way with her.  There is a lot of foreplay which becomes increasingly rougher as he realizes, hey, she likes it.  He starts pushing her around, groping her roughly, pulling her hair and smacking her face and tits and you can tell that Satine is getting so turned on and juicy before he ever starts fucking her.  I can’t tell you how many times I watched this scene and came.  Definitely jilling off material! Rough sex, lots of unique positions on the vintage jeep, and crowned by a choking messy forced blowjob.  These two rock the screen with a riveting performance.

Scene 3 – Francesca and Christian

Christian is a magnificent brute of a man (again bald and sexy) and Francesca is a hot busty milf.  She’s a bit fed up with her husband ignoring her all the time, being the perfect housewife and all, and thinks it’s time for a little pay-back. And, pay-back’s a BITCH in stilettos and corset, with a nasty attitude and the will to dominate her much larger opponent. I like my brutes dominant and my bitches submissive, so for me this scene didn’t hold a lot of sexual pizzazz.  Although, Christian is adorable and so submissive for such a big boy it was interesting seeing him dominated.  Still, all the while she was crushing her tits and ass in his face, slapping him around, and spitting cum in his mouth (yuk!), I was wishing he’d grab her and give her a few smacks of her own.  I guess for me there was a problem with the believability factor.  I just didn’t believe she could dominate him in real life, and didn’t like the way she shrieked orders at him and brutalized him, when he was being such a good boy.  Not that I don’t think that he can be dominated, as he seemed to like it.  She just came across as a bit shrill and lacked authenticity. Still, I’m sure this is a fantasy that would appeal to many women and men who would find it hot.

Scene 4 – Marie and Julius

Marie wants to be punished for fucking around and treated like the slut she is.  The fantasy sounded great and I was all for it.  But, then the action starts happening, and there’s not much cussin’ and a fightin’ goin’ on here, and I’m like “Whoa, wait a minute?”  Why isn’t he calling her nasty names and treating her like a little tramp, whore, slut, which she obviously wants and deserves? Man, give me ten minutes with her and I’ll have her crying and begging for more.  Again, like the first scene there was no build-up, no sizzle, and it didn’t seem very rough to me, but maybe my finger pressed the fast forward button by mistake and I missed all the good stuff.  Nope. Don’t think so.  Weak scene, but too bad as it had potential.

Scene 5 – Sasha and Daniel

Okay, did I say that scene 2 was the best scene?  Maybe I lied.  To tell the truth, this scene is so hot that it rivals scene 2, and they both win best scene in my book.  Smokin’ Sasha wants to play switch in a power play scenario and who does she pick?—my all-time favorite male porn star, Daniel.  Daniel is known for his rough play style in many alt porn films, as much as for his playfulness.  Sasha picked him because she thought he would let her slap him around, which he does and seems to like it too.  They talk about what they’d like to do and Sasha defines her only limit—No tit slapping.  So, the pair get it on and right from the beginning it’s a power struggle but Daniel takes over and does his nasty choking and slapping number on her.  The scene has a series of peaks as it continually builds momentum, switching back and forth, while they get lost in the passion of each moment.  And, then, Daniel forgets and slaps Sasha’s tits, immediately cringing like dog about to be punished.  Sasha pins him on the pool table and Daniel starts apologizing profusely, and then they are snickering and laughing and back into the hot rough sex play.  This scene was not only hot but so much fun.  You can tell they are both getting off on it and are enjoying the ambiguity of working together for the first time.

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex is overall a great porn if you like rough sex and some serious role-playing power exchange fantasies.  It is worth it just for scene 2 and 5 alone.  I applaud Tristan for giving the women in the film the chance to design their own scenarios and define what is rough and sexy to them.  The production quality is pretty good in most places although the sound was off a bit sometimes and some of the camera work looked a bit shaky.  The extras includes a Choking and Safety snippet with Penny Flame who teaches the proper way to choke to avoid injury which I thought was a very good idea, as no doubt a bunch of novices will see this film and want to start practicing without a clue.

Furry Girl, owner of FurryGirl.com, VegPorn.com, TheSensualVegan.com, and EroticRed.com is working on a new project: Cocksexual.com, slated for opening in February of 2010. It’ll feature “strapon porn for all genders and orientations who enjoy fun with cocks.”

She’ll be shooting in NYC Nov 5-7th and shooting lots of hot people.  She is still looking for cute bioguys who enjoy strapon sex and/or posing in their strapons.

View the casting call.

Furry Girl’s post about her dad finding out about her porn work:

One of the most commonly asked questions of sex workers is, “But do your parents know?!”, generally spoken in a mock-concerned, barely-containing-their-excitement voice, ready to hear about my inner turmoil of how I want nothing more than to be able to make my parents proud of me, yet am burdened with the shame of being a fallen woman.

When I started out, I wasn’t sure how my father would react when he eventually found out about the porn thing, and I had no immediate plans to tell him. He has post-it notes on his coffee table to help him figure out how to work his television remote control, so I wasn’t worried that my luddite dad was going to stumble across my web site.

A year or two in, a teenaged cousin found my web site. I’m not sure how this worked in his head, but he apparently decided that there was more satisfaction to be had in tattling on me to the family than there was in not telling the family a story that started out, “I was looking at porn, and…”

So, I got The Call from my father.

“Is this true- that you’re naked on some kind of internet sites?”

He sounded a touch angry, but not ragingly so. I considered whether I should just lie. I could get away with lying because he had no means of disproving me.

“Yes, it’s true.”

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out (2009)
Director- Courtney Trouble
Studio- Reel Queer Productions / Good Releasing
Cast- Carson, Puck Goodfellow, Joline Parton, Sophia, Tina Horn, Sarah Lee Sinful, Jae

Courtney Trouble (Reel Queer Productions) recently joined forces with GoodVibes.com and their new adult film production company Good Releasing, directing and producing four films already this year including Roulette, Nostalgia, Speak Easy and Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out.  In case you don’t know who Courtney Trouble is, she is the creator of NoFauxxx.com “the longest running queer porn site on the web” and her film Roulette won the Feminist Porn Award for “Most Deliciously Diverse Cast” just this year.  Her film company, Real Queer Productions “documents authentic, edgy, queer sex and culture with relevant, intelligent films inclusive of the many sexualities that identify as queer.”

And, the timing couldn’t be better.  Queer Porn is the new alt-porn of the adult industry, an up-and-coming genre that is making waves across the pornosphere with directors like Shine Louise Houston, Courtney Trouble and Madison Young, and queer adult film actors like Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Dylan Ryan and many more.

“Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” is Trouble’s answer to reality porn, in which she gathers a amateur cast of diverse queer women and a transman Puck Goodfellow, puts them in a slumber party environment to play spin-the-bottle and Truth or Dare, and films the sexy frolicking that transpires.  With no script, no rules and no limits, the cast are free to explore their fantasies and desires with whomever they choose, a few of which part-take in every experience and scene they can get themselves into like sex-starved, greedy little hedonists.  Two of the cast have never participated in an adult before and talk about their experience in behind-the-scenes interludes.

As you may imagine, what emerges is a fantastic fuck-fest featuring strap-ons and gang-bangs, spanking, role-play and power exchanges, fisting and fingering, lessons in cock sucking, kissing, fondling and playful teasing.  Where one scene ends, the other begins and the sex and play seems to go on forever, with bodies changing places, a new strap-on here, a new twosome, threesome or foursome reveling in hot, sexy, authentic, queer, smoldering, diverse, inter-racial hardcore sex.  There is never a dull moment, and the chemistry between the cast and their enthusiasm is evident in their sparkling eyes, laughs and smiles, and orgasmic moans.

This film is every queer girl’s wet dream, and certainly one of my all-time fantasies.  I won’t go into a scene-by-scene, as you really have to see this film for yourself.  So, if you are a fan of queer porn and Courtney Trouble’s work, or if you are curious to what it’s all about and want a great jill’in off experience, go buy “Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” now from GoodVibes.com.

The 8th Day (2009)
Studio- Adam & Eve
Length: 265:34 minutes
Director- Ren Savant
Cast: Kayden Kross, Tommy Gunn, Aaron Wilcoxxx, Kylie Ireland, Jandi Lynn, Derrick Pierce, Krissy Leigh, Tyler Knight, Bree Olson, Tori Black, Poppy Morgan, Darryl Hanah, Violet Marcell, Evan Stone, Amber Rayne, Sledge Hammer, Cheyne Collins, Trinity Post, Chris Cannon, Jerry

The 8^th Day is the newest “blockbuster” adult film by Adam & Eve.  It is epic, and by that I mean long.  It has two disks for the film itself with over 4 hours of “action” and 9 hours of DVD extras on two other disks.  It has also been getting some great reviews including the coveted XCritic Pick and is currently the “#1 Adult Movie in America”.

This is a porn with plot film.  If you are more of a gonzo guy or girl, you won’t like this film.  However, if your favorite films are Pirates or Fashionsitas, you may get into it.  I happen to love Pirates and Fashionistas, but had a different reaction to this film.

Plot

Modeled after the post-apocalyptic dystopian actions films of the 70s like Mad Max and Tank Girl, The 8^th Day features Kayden Kross, a Barbie-doll blonde with fake tits in the lead role of Samantha who awakens from a cryogenic slumber to find the world has been destroyed by technology and is now a nomad’s wasteland with warring tribes of survivors.  Turns out it was her father—a scientist and the guy who put her into suspended animation—that is responsible for destroying the world.  So Sam goes out into the now near deserted LA and wanders around for a long, long, time, occasionally finding deformed humans to have sex with or run away from.

She is then kidnapped, but quickly rescued by scavenger Mel (Amber Rayne) and taken to a desert oasis called Elysium Fields where the inhabitants down technology and follow enigmatic leader, Prince Amir.  However, once Amir–whose real name is Dave–finds out it was her father who destroyed the earth, Sam is strapped to a cross and sacrificed to die in the desert.  The end.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?!  While the premise of this film is cool, and the setting, costuming and special-effects make-up stand-out including the awesome tribal tattoos that most of the adult performers sport, the film is slow, long, and the sex scenes mediocre to bad.

Sex

Rather than bore you with a scene-by-scene breakdown, I’ll talk about the one scene that really shines starring Amber Rayne with Cheyne Collins and Sledge Hammer.  Amber Rayne who was awarded the 2009 AVN Unsung Starlet of the Year award, is amazing.  Not only is she a believable actress which is hard to find in the adult industry, she has lots of other talents.  She really takes on these two guys who are supposed to “cleanse her” of bad technology from her wanderings in the city.  She is the most enthusiastic and skilled cocksucker I’ve ever seen on screen.  And, while I’m not usually into cock-sucking scenes, she had me riveted.  She chokes and gobbles down two cocks back and forth with an animated “Ha!” each time she goes back down and stuffs these huge cocks down her throat like they were putty.  She also is amazing at anal (something she is known for) and DP as well, and these guys can’t get enough of her.  They are crazed as she orders them to give her their cocks and she drives them wild.

The other scenes are far less fantastic, featuring mutant-sex between Kayden Kross, Tommy Gunn and Aaron Wilcoxxx; a phony domination scene featuring Kylie Ireland and Derrick Pierce as sex slave Jandi Lin watches on; an incredibly annoying girl-girl scene with Bree Olson, Poppy Morgan and Tori Black who howl like sex-starved cats gone mad the entire scene; and a fall from paradise inspired scene with Darryl Hanah as Eve (who looks identical to the real Darryl Hannah),Violet Marcell as the snake and Evan Stone as Adam.  There is also an orgy feast featuring many of the above and a final scene with Kayden, Violet and Evan, none of which are worth mentioning.

I didn’t bother watching the extras, because it took four hours of monotonous “action” to watch the feature, and I only have so much time I can spend on a review of a product that in the end, bored the hell out of me.  This is of course my opinion, and you may enjoy the film like so many other reviewers did.  It is definitely worth it to see Amber Rayne’s scene and I suspect she will win another AVN award for this one.

You can check out the trailers at the 8^th Day or purchase the The 8^th Day DVD via AdamEve.com.

The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976)
Studio- VCA / Crescent Films
Director- Henry Paris / Radley Metzger
Cast- Constance Money, Jamie Gillis, Jacqueline Beaudant, Terri Hall, Ras Kean, Gloria Leonard

“The Opening of Misty Beethoven” is a Pygmalion porn-story of a pathetic prostitute (Constance Money ) who is transformed into a New York “socialite”—or more accurately an elite passionate cocksucker—by “sex researcher” hedonist Dr. Love (Jamie Gillis).  If you have ever seen any of Jamie Gillis’ films he usually plays the part of a sexist (if loveable) pig quite well, and Misty Beethoven is no acceptation.  Many of his roles are in bdsm films featuring him as a cruel Top who like to humiliate and beat his subs, but he is often on the submissive end as well.

The film is seriously dated and like many 70s triple-X films features a pornocopia of orgies in lavish settings, hairy snatches, kitschy dialogue, dreadful acting, bad hair-dos and worse outfits.  Dr. Love teaches Misty how to suck cock like it’s her last meal, and there’s lots of other fucking as well as some girl-girl action.  In one scene Dr. Love tells Misty: “Most women stop sucking at orgasm, but that’s when a real woman starts sucking.”  The focus on the film is male pleasure and little is paid to want Misty (or a female audience for that matter) might want or enjoy.

Misty debuts as a fantastic pervert at a party orgy, where Dr. Love humiliates her in public by taking credit for her newly acquired skills.  Misty gets fed up with Love and splits, but then returns to surprise suck/fuck him as one of his maids.  Meanwhile, Love can’t forget about Misty and is perhaps wishing he had treated her better?  The end of the film shows Misty transformed into the “teacher” and Dr. Love as her slave in chains of bondage in an “ironic” twist.

If you are into retro porn, The Opening of Misty Beethoven is a classic, more so for its “porn with plot” than titillating sex scenes, though.

I love reviewing porn for Babeland, because they always have the most interesting, unique and sexy films. This week’s review is Sugar High Glitter City, by Sir Video.

Sugar High Glitter City is set in a retro-dystopia where sugar and candy is outlawed and addicted candy ‘hos have to sell their bodies to feed their sweet obsession.  Of course, the cops are just as bad as the prostitutes and pimps, keeping the girls in supply for special tricks and treats.

The film features all dyke hardcore porn with an array of sweet candy-colored glitter dildos, saccharine pussy eating, and finger-licking good fisting sex.  The mise-en-scene is retro reminiscent of 70s sexploitation films with glitter make-up and strange spandex costuming, a Puss Puss Glitter Palace whorehouse, mean graffiti streets, and disco balls.

The sex is authentic dyke porn, but I had a hard time getting into some of it because of the poor lighting in several scenes.  But, you do get a lot of different scenes, various body types and genders including lipstick lesbians, dykes and gender-bending bois.  This film had great potential, but fell short of my expectations, mainly because the camera and lighting was rather shoddy.

Atomic Vixens: Escape from the Valley of the Sluts (2005)
Director: Ron Royster, Winky Tiki
Studio: VCA Pictures
Cast: Ashley Steel, Jade Star, James Deen, Justine Joli, Kyle Moore, Lacie Heart, Leah Luv, Marie Luv, Tyler Houston, Mika Tan

With such a catchy title like “Atomic Vixens: Escape from the Valley of the Sluts“, the promise of sexy super heroines out to cure Viagra limpy dicks with their superpowers of seduction, and a retro “Austin Powers”-styled aesthetics, I had the feeling I was in for something a little bit different, and I was not disappointed. Atomic Vixens rocks! And here’s why.

All star cast of sexy alt girls including Jade Star, Justine Joli and Mika Tan. These girls are hot, know how to perform and are excellent in this film. Great film aesthetics including set design, costumes, hair and make-up is outstanding and sets the whole mis-en-scene into a believable faux retro atmosphere. Someone should have won an award for this. Groovy tunes and psycho-billy rock that sets an upbeat feel for the scenes, making them that much more fun to watch. A fairly silly, fun storyline using comic inserts between scenes and voice-over dialogue to move the scenes along. Excellent lighting, camera work/angles and exception quality of the DVD. Most important, are the hot sex scenes where the sexy vixens really shine.

Scene One with Jade Starr and Mika Tan is a pretty sexy girl-girl scene. The girls are uber sexy and hot (love the big hair), and there is some great double-dildo action at the end with a glass two-ended dildo. There is some interesting sushi eating at the beginning (not the kind you are thinking) which is something a bit different. Some great birds-eye-view shots of the scene from above as well as great angles and close-ups through-out the scene.

Scene Two with Justine Joli is the sexiest solo scene I have ever seen. She is a little sex kitten and smiles at the camera the whole time she is seducing you. She sucks her own feet and while I’m not into feet she is amazingly hot as she does this.  She is amazingly flexible and talented, doing some very unique contortions during her performance. I can’t get over how extremely fucking hot this scene is.

Lacie Heart and Ashley Steel are Fembots in a spacecraft when their communications goes on the blink. Again cool set and these two blondes with California tans are cute. They use this airbrush pen to diddle each other with which is unique. They have this great space-cadet glow going on and in the end enjoy swapping each other’s spit.

Tyler Houston and James Deen get in one in the back of a 50s double deuce convertible in a garage. The car is hot and their scene rocks. Tyler is an expert at giving head and doesn’t mind gagging quite a bit as she sucks him deep. Lots of spit sloppy dick sucking as she foams at the mouth. Tyler also has a nice natural looking body with super tits. Numerous interesting positions and a good overall scene.

In scene five we get our second solo scene with Marie Luv a foxy black girl with legs that go forever and a wicked booty. Her make-up is psychedelic and she masturbates in the bath-tub with the shower nozzle and soap day-glow body paint soap. Original.

Leah Luv (not related to Marie Luv) and Kyle Moore finish the film. Again, amazing set design and costumes. Leah Luv sucks cock well despite her braces. She looks barely legal with braces and pigtails and is pretty cute. Some good close-ups of the action and she does some anal as well.

This film is hot. If you like Austin Powers or the 007 films within a retro porn framework you’ll enjoy film. There is enough diversity for most people to like at least some of it, but especially those who like girl-girl and girl solo. It is kind-of bubblegum hardcore and the vixens are serious eye candy.  You can check out these and other porn flicks with instant access at Video On Demand SextoyTV.

This Aint Star Trek XXX (2009)
Studio: Hustler Video
Director: Axel Braun
Cast: Aurora Snow, Cheyne Collins, Codi Carmichael, Evan Stone, Jada Fire, Jenna Haze, Nick Manning, Sasha Grey, Tony DeSergio

TV parodies are the big thing these days in porn, with big companies producing retro porn TV show spoofs from the 70s and 80s like Happy Days, The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, Three’s Company, and Bewitched.  And, why not?  These porn spoofs are all the rage, because making fun of 70s and 80s pop culture is very amusing.

And, while I like all of the above, I must admit I am a die-hart Trekkie.  Ya, I love Captain Kirk and Spock (cool ears, I wonder what his cock looks like?) and all the groovy outfits and girls with big hair.  I’m not so weird like my brother and go to cons dressed up in character, although I admit I have been tempted.  But, I don’t think your measure of fan-hood needs to include dressing up in silly costumes in public.  I prefer to be a private cult devotee and masturbate to my fantasies.  In fact, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve masturbated to the idea of being gang-banged by the guys in Nex Gen…  But, that’s another story, and hopefully another porn spoof in the making.

In “This Aint Star Trek XXX” the crew has a mission “to boldly go where no cock has gone before.”  Sweet!  You can see right away how Star Trek was made to become a porn.  Unfortunately, they don’t seem to use all those nifty one-liners enough.  For instance, I’m sure something could have been done with “Bone’s boner” or “Spock’s cock”, but these and other opportunities never emerge.  Evan Stone hams it up quite a bit behind-the-scenes and if the director had of been paying attention, he should have added some of Stone’s adlibbed lines to the script.  Stone is the perfect Captain Kirk, to be sure and he even got his lovely locks shorn for the part, but I feel the direction was very “stiff” (and not in a good way) which held Stone and the other cast members back a lot.  The director, Axel Braun, seemed more concerned with getting the atmosphere and production quality right (which he does amazingly well) rather than the comedic aspects that could and should have been emphasized.  In all fairness, he didn’t write the script, and it is hard to write comedy.  Maybe they should have let Evan Stone write it?

And, while “This Aint Star Trek” was a let down in that way, it excelled in every other department.  The cast is stellar and the sex rocks.  Stone is amazing as Kirk and has Shatner’s abrupt stuttering swagger down.  I really hope Shatner gets a chance to check out his performance.  Tony DeSergio is a pretty good Spock, even with his British accent.  Jenna Haze is the perfect cock-devouring alien love slave, and Sasha Grey makes for a sexy Vulcan undergoing “pon farr”, the Vulcan equivalent of unrepressed sexual passion.  Jada Fire is the hottest Uhura in her three-way with Stone and DeSergio, perhaps the best scene in the film (or a close runner up with Sasha Grey and Stone’s scene).  Nick Manning plays Khan and over-acts quite a bit, but it was somewhat appropriate to the role, I guess.

This 2 set DVD also has “a blooper reel” and “behind-the-scenes” as well as three bonus scenes from other films featuring Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze and Aurora Snow.

Overall, I enjoyed “This Aint Star Trek” quite a bit and look forward to watching some of the other spoofs, like “Not The Bradys XXX” (review coming soon).  Although I was hoping for more comedy and silly dialogue, the sex was great, and I guess that is all you can ask for in mainstream porn these days.
