Porn for Straight Girls: POV Punk Ass With James Deen

James Deen is probably the only porn star who could make someone wish they'd gone to Hebrew school. Yes, we know, he's corrupting The Youth of Today! And Tumblr. And Bret Easton Ellis. But isn't that why we love him? Oh, and because he's smart, funny, cute, and has a ridiculously huge cock.

For me, chemistry can make a scene that integrates things that don't necessarily turn my crank -- say, male-oriented POV or anal -- sizzle. While Deen is only one half of the equation in "POV Punx 6: The Anal Edition," the way he communicates with his costars and his obvious enthusiasm and humor creates a crackling connection that would easily be lost in a typical stunt cock situation. What's especially cool about having a personality like Deen behind the cock and camera is that it subverts the typical rules of a male-oriented POV porn where the male talent is a faceless stand-in for the viewer. Not so here, because Deen's presence is very much a part of the experience, and that will attract and turn on female viewers who might not otherwise be interested in either POV or anal porn.

Similarly, those attracted to the Burning Angel aesthetic -- queer-friendly, pierced, and tattooed -- will also find a lot to like here. Burning Angel performers Severin Graves, Brittany Lynn, Sparky Sin Claire, Akira Raine, Mariah, and badass (Non-BA) Annie Cruz end each scene with a delightfully flushed complexion, orgasm-dazed expressions, and a thin glaze of jizz on their faces. If they're faking those whimpering, moaning, squealing, screeching, occasionally terrifying orgasms, then I am as doe-eyed and innocent as Bambi.

Deen also has the excellent ability to put his costars at ease. He's complimentary, he's funny, and although he's horny and dirty-mouthed, he's just this side of sleazy. Although sleazy can be hot, too, it doesn't really fit into the aesthetic of the punky but giggly grrrl vibe. For instance, in the first scene Akira Raine talks about why this is her first onscreen anal and how nervous she is. Deen gives her a high five for banging people in the butt during the Folsom Street Fair, gushes over queer girls, and then says, "I am flattered that you chose me to bang you in the ass for your fantasy porno."

Each of the performers has a different energy, and so does their scene. The scenes get a little kinkier as the DVD progresses, from fairly vanilla to hair-pulling and slight roughness, all the way to choking and slapping in the last scene with Brittany Lynn.

While I definitely dug Severin's adorable Midwestern accent and crooked smile and Annie Cruz's ferocious fucking, Mariah's scene stands out. This was her first time for anal sex, and I'm really, really hoping she was working up to James Deen's Frankencock ahead of time with toys or something, because it makes my bits pucker in empathy. Right off the bat, she informs James that she's "pleasant, peachy, [and] prepared" for her big scene, which won me over immediately. Deen prepares her with a thumb and lube and coaches her to gently push back against him once he enters her; there's no crazy ramming or anything, and once Mariah is in the zone, there is no stopping her. Seriously, I had to turn the sound down for fear my neighbors would think I was skinning a live animal or something. She has many, many orgasms, and they are amazing. I am fully for performers making wild crazy noises and scary faces during sex. It is hot. I support your unstoppable, wonderful, guttural orgasms, Mariah! I salute you!

I don't generally seek out POV porn or anal porn, although I did really enjoy Bobbi Starr's "Vicarious." I personally find the limits of the POV genre pretty limiting; I prefer to see the bodies and faces of everyone involved and unencumbered by expensive electronics while they screw. "Vicarious" worked for me because there was at least one other camera to offer an objective view of the scene and because Bobbi would sometimes put the camera down while she went to town on her costar with hands and mouth.

Each scene in "POV Punx 6" was fairly formulaic: oral sex for Deen, vaginal sex, anal sex, more oral, occasionally more vaginal (can we pretend they stopped and washed his dick off or something between takes?), anal with her on top facing him, and then a facial. Therein lies the problem of having to work a camera while screwing -- you don't get to do fun stuff like kiss, bite, eat pussy, rim, or do much fingering. Which is, frankly, the kind of thing that I like to see and what gets me off. Then again, seeing people have sex (check!) and orgasm (check!) also gets me off (check check!), so under this rubric, "POV Punx 6" was successful.

Why this porn is good for straight girls:

· James Deen. I hate to gush, but golly, he's just so adorable even (especially?) when he says things like, "Goddammit, baby, you look so fucking hot getting your ass fucked." If someone cast him and Danny Wylde in the same scene, I think my head would explode.

· It's a cool way to see women really enjoying anal sex. Some of the performers have more experience than others with putting things in their butts or in the butts of others, and the rhythm and action is tailored to each performer's desires and needs. It's great to see someone like Mariah being eased into it (heh heh) and others like Annie or Brittany jumping right in. Deen doesn't go all out fucking Mariah in the ass until she asks him to, for example; she controls the pace. It's subtle but incredibly important. Some of the performers have roaring orgasms when they are having anal sex, and some, it seems to me, do not. Maybe they do, but who's keeping score? They all seem to be having fun. Butts! Do stuff to yours today!

· Dirty talk can be awesome and super hot, and while there is definitely some filth coming out of these here purdy mouths in POV Punx 6, it can also be fun to talk about sex with words like banging and butts and buttholes. Sex can be fun and funny.

· Orgasms! Worried you're the only one who looks like Linda Blair in The Exorcist when you're about to come? Freaked out about the crazy sounds emanating from your chakras as your eyes cross in ecstasy? Check out these lovely ladies and rest assured that really great sex makes you look both incredibly hot and utterly silly. Stop worrying about how you sweat off all your makeup or what angle shows your second chin and get it on, already.
