Look at how Kristina Rose protects Fleshbot readers' tender sensibilities by obscuring Rocco Siffredi's cock with her foot. Perhaps this is why Siffredi later puts Bobbi Starr's head in the toilet. You and your Puritan reservations.

Review by: Gram Ponante

There is so much unnecessary hype in porn that when someone like Rocco Siffredi comes out of retirement because he can't resist someone like Bobbi Starr, it's a shame when so little is made of it.

Siffredi channels Randy Newman in both his love of L.A. and in boxcover font choice for his stateside comeback extravaganza, "Rocco Ravishes L.A.," in which "The Stallion" and a troupe of foreigners (Mark Davis, Marco Banderas, and Tony Ribas) are violently serviced by Starr, Dana DeArmond, Adrianna Nicole, Jamie Elle, Lexi Love, Jada Fire, Kagney Linn Karter, and Kristina Rose.

One of the persistent myths about any porn, but particularly this type of clinical, graphic, and forceful material, is that the women in in don't like it. While this is certainly true some of the time, it is most often not the case, and we can see this in scenes with Starr, Karter, and Adrianna Nicole, in particular.

"I was star-struck," Bobbi Starr told me a month after the Siffredi shoot, which took place in January, 2009. "He wasn't originally going to put my head in the toilet, but I kind of begged him to."

This movie is dirty, dirty, dirty but, lest you think it is dirty in that disaffected European sterile way, "Rocco Ravishes L.A." has heart. Rocco is clearly delighted to be back in the catbird seat again, as are his gracefully aging cohorts, each of whom drops loads spiced with a little gratefulness.

Kagney Linn Karter was new to the business when this movie was shot, and Lexi Love had just returned to it after a hiatus. Both are great fun to watch. Jada Fire is like an ominous storm cloud washing over both Lexi Love and Mark Davis, and she looks exquisite.

"Rocco Ravishes L.A." is one of those movies that is both a great snapshot of porn in 2009 and an education in the style of a guy who has been teaching hardcore fucking for more than a decade.
