What exactly is it about girl's assholes that we love so much? Mike John continues his cautious exploration of the sweetest pucker there is, reminding us all to stop and smell the rosebud from time to time.

We believe it was Shakespeare who first drew our attention to our unyielding love of buggery, winning us back from the savagery of De Sade with his elegant poetry suggesting that a rosebud by any other name would stretch just as sweetly. We're sure there are countless allusions to sodomy deftly woven into "Romeo and Juliet," or at least enough to warrant further scholarship and a Masters in Fine Arts.

Since then, few have assumed the exploration of the asshole with the same benign curiosity that once possessed the famed bard...until Mike John came on the scene. His Jules Jordan series dedicated to ass fucking, like so much else that he puts his signature on, is nothing short of pure poetry. The success of the Elastic Assholes series, as evidenced by the ever growing number of volumes, relies not so much on the subject matter--anal sex--as it does on the approach. Anyone can show Lexi Love, Kristina Rose, Charlotte Vale, Chayse Evans, Dia Zerva, and Holly Fox getting their puckers pried wide open by monster man meat and ruthlessly drilled. It takes an artist to do it with the kind of finesse and style that Mike John brings to bear upon this his 8th offering to the world.

"Elastic Assholes 8" comes out next week on June 15th. Check out the sneak gallery now below.
