As we've mentioned many times before, succeeding in porn requires some serious physical prowess — and, in some cases, skills comparable to those of an Olympic athlete. (Seriously. You try taking a baseball bat up the ass sometime.). And what do we like to do when confronted with a group of people with amazing physical prowess and mad skills? Why, pit them against each other and make them compete for a meaningless title!

With that in mind, we welcome you to the preliminary round of Fleshbot's Extreme Pornstar Showdown (and thank the ever helpful Malzy Wheels for the suggestions.). Here's how it works: Each week, we'll pair up two pornstars and present you with some samples of their work. Then you, the people, will decide the winners of each round. Those winners will go on to face new opponents ... until at last, only one pornstar will be left standing.

But before we get to that point, we need some competitors. So tell us: who would you like to see? Sasha Grey vs. Aurora Snow? Belladonna vs. Gauge? Nominate your favorite stars in the comments — and let the games begin!
