Behind the Pink Door: The Herstory of Femme Porn
Welcome, dear Readers, to the wonderful, fun-filled world of feminist pornography! I'm Goldenmuse, and this is my butt kicking, epic, multipart tribute to the 'her'story of femme porn.
This series will cover those adult films -- both mainstream and cult -- that address the subject of female sexuality in a mature, stimulating manner. And others I just mentioned because the actors were particularly hot, and for once they weren't shoved out of the camera angle so FiFi Lorraine or whoever (Ladies, roll you eyes with me and insert the name of your boyfriend's favorite porn girl here) could get more screen time.
Behind the Pink Door will concern films made from the 1970s to today. And it will emphasize the true broadness and diversity of a genre that some consider novel -- or even narrow. The truth is, some of the most beautiful love stories ever told can be found in the genre of femme porn. Case in point: Immortal Desire, a time travel fantasy released by Vivid in 1993 by Philip Christian. This literally timeless love story takes us from 1692 New Guinea to 1992 New York and also counts Europe (both in Victorian times and during the days of World War I) among its exotic settings. And while the dates and places change frequently in this time travel romance, its plot remains a radiant constant: the story of two people who pledge to love one another forever -- and who, through a mystical blood rite, realize their immortal desire.
These films also take the form of top-notch erotic comedies (Hardbound, Candida Royalle's Stud Hunters), beautifully filmed romantic travelogues (Candida Royalle's Carribean Heat, Fiesta), series of beautifully filmed
erotic vignettes (Playgirl's Private Pleasures), naughty bachelorette party favorites (Erection Services), and even thought provoking erotic thrillers (Lovers Lane).
So what doesn't constitute femme porn? Any movie that depicts sexual violence or coercion of any kind (this doesn't include consensual, playful bondage). Any movie that showcases unattractive, barely coherent males who, through some stroke of cinematic good fortune, are making it with stunning babes. Any movie in which the heroine seeks 'sexual liberation' by becoming a hooker or a stripper, by getting kidnapped, or by finding out that her clitoris is actually in her throat. Fates preserve us. . .
To find out more about what does constitute femme porn, check for future installments of Behind the Pink Door; an exclusive feature of The Blue Room.
Week
In terms of feature porn, there was little doubt that Curse Eternal: Collector's Set was one of the best reasons to get off your ass and check it out. Starring Kaylani Lei and Jessica Drake, this modern fantasy about a killer mummy looking for lost love, literally sucking the life out of anyone in her way, proved to be an early bet for title of the year. The two disc set included a wealth of extras and a lot of fuck for the buck, with an outstanding cast of talented performers. The technical values were such that director Brad Armstrong can once again look forward to the multitude of award nominations but in the end, the ladies made the flick what it was in nine scenes of heated fun. As Don put it; "Curse Eternal was cursed with the high quality Wicked Pictures has long been known for, raising the bar yet again for others to try and surpass." Wicked Pictures even has a contest where you can win a collector's edition shirt by visiting their Website and answering a few easy questions about the movie.
Next up on our list of fun shows to watch are a couple of adult reality television shows where the rules get tossed out the window in favor of spontaneity and thrill seeking with Shane's World 38: House Party and Shane's World: College Invasion 7. Regular fans of the Shane's World Series already know that when you get gals like Penny Flame and Julia Bond in the mood to party, they aren't going to stop until they drop, with lots of civilians thankfully caught in the crossfire. While some of you may prefer staged scenes that follow a formula, both of these flicks were full of the kind of Spring Break action you wish you saw in person, but they certainly qualify as the next best thing to being there.
Okay, so you aren't into features and your idea of fun is the kind of pure, driven energy offered up in your favorite gonzo title? Well, we got you covered friends with some of the most value-oriented releases of recent weeks spotlighted in this next segment. From the Jules Jordan swan song at Evil Angel with Tunnel Vision (almost five hours of free for all fucking folks!), to the ass worship of John Leslie's Crack Her Jack #5 (featuring Naomi), to a collection of scenes by one of porn's former first ladies in The Best of Jewel De'Nyle, to the best bang for the buck in months with Joey Silvera's epic Service Animals 22 (over 300 minutes worth of sex!), to the domination theme of Kevin Moore's Obedience School (almost four hours of stroke material), to a few of the more perverted offerings of the week with 2 On 1 #23, Penetration 10, and Cream Pie POV 4; you'll find far more hardcore sex than you can shake your dick at this time. Clearly, Evil Angel is attempting to set the pace for the other companies to try and keep up; offering quality AND quantity in copious amounts designed to finish off the stoutest fan repeatedly.
If your kink is more youth driven than balls to the wall gonzo, you could do worse than pick up Teenage Anal Addicts, Teen Idol #3, Spring Chickens 14, Initiations 17, Barely Legal Innocence 4, or Barely Legal Corrupted 6; as each of them caters to the under 20 crowd's needs. Our reviewers often find it interesting when a company tosses in a few older girls to the mix but by and large, the ladies in these flicks provide an antidote for the well worn faces so many of you rail at in our forums. With some of the keenest minds in porn working the cameras to capture these hotties as they follow orders, formulas, and their libidos, all angles were covered this time with this veritable plethora of pussy served up in a variety of ways to add some spice to the industry. Many newcomers with lots of potential were on hand to strut their stuff for your hand to gland pleasure, making all of them worth a peek.
Watching 18 year olds fuck is fun but some fans want something larger than life to enjoy in their porn so we offer up a trio of titty flicks where a number of Texas sized titties are presented for your approval. John Strong's 110% Natural #9, Manuel Ferrara's Big Giant Titties, and Brandon Iron's Photographic Mammaries 5, all showcased gals with bountiful bosoms, with a lot of casting diversity to cover everyone's type of gal. Granted, each of the movies provided a good look at the skills and talents of Gianna, but there were White, Black, Asian, and Latinas at work here, providing far more tease than average as well as a bunch of other breast related footage to enjoy repeatedly. For tit lovers everywhere, these three titles were the breast news they could hope for.
Next up were a trio of features that combined some humor, drama, and heated pairings to the mix. In the spoof Re-Penetrator: SE, bringing back the dead takes on a new life as a popular cult classic gets the porn treatment; complete with a cover clearly inspired by the original. This was followed by another look at classic porn by our own Disco Dirge as he provides a more mainstream look at Neon Nights, a favorite blast of ass from the past; complete with a solid selection of extras to enhance the experience in this re-release. Lastly, we have one of the more intimate looks at Vivid contract gals Monique Alexander and Lexi Marie in Out of Place where the dup get lost in the wrong neighborhood but use their skills to make things work out just fine.
Last up this week are a trio of titles designed with women in mind, hot women at that, as they mix it up with each other, by themselves, or with a handful of men with She Licks Girls 2, Blue Collar Fantasies, and Jack's Playground 29. The first two offerings are strictly lesbian fare but of such quality that they pass the rigorous tests employed by Mistress Liss of the infamous Playgirl Posse for porn we all can enjoy. Jack's latest outing even showcases a scene from long ago with Julia Ann taking on Nacho Vidal. There's some good stuff here to enjoy with your significant other. Oh, and the wild rumors of a challenge by Mistress Liss to Don Houston for a foam wrestling match at a coliseum of his choosing seem to be picking up speed but you won't guess what each of them is putting up as the prize. In all, there was a lot of well made porn worth checking out this week but let us know if you think we missed anything worth talking about.
One of the common misconceptions about porn stars is that they are all druggies, cold hearted, and have no interests outside of their chosen field. While there are certainly a lot of them that fit that profile, there are many others who are more like the girl next door (at least if you're super lucky). One such gal that combines a beautiful face, hot body, and lots of sunny personality is the lovely Kelly Kline. Originally doing only scenes with her personable husband Richard, Kelly expanded her boundaries to include a wide variety of practices on camera, including features (like Are We In Love? and this month's big hit Curse Eternal),
lesbian (Strap On Divas and Girl's Play), solo, orgies, and hardcore action that surprised even Don in terms of the kind of powerful antics this cutie did to get off (in On Your Knees Bitch).
Interestingly enough, Kelly is a horse trainer by profession, owning a large ranch in North Carolina though originally born in Florida. Her appeal has long been the shy cuteness she exudes though in recent years she has been working diligently on changing her sexual repertoire by working with a variety of men. Fans of foot fetish material probably know she has a size 8 foot just as the lovers of all natural bodies appreciate her C cup breasts and ability to dirty talk a load out of a partner easily. Kelly looks to be staying with porn as a hobby and second career for awhile but here's a number of her other worthy performances that fans may enjoy: Teen America 10, Stripper School Orgy, Teagan: All American Girl, Grudgefuck 3, Shane's World 36, Writer's Block, Mouth 2 Mouth 4, Top Notch Bitches, Teen America 2, Mood Ring, Blue Angels: The Second Coming, and Top Notch Anal Bitches.
Adult Toy Talk: Taking Matters into My Own Hands
Buzz here...after a few weeks break from toy reviews I'm back in action. This time I've had to take matter into my own hands with two toys designed for when you need to have a little 'me' time. The first product I test drove was The Fleshlight - shaped like a huge flashlight, The Fleshlight has soft, flesh like inserts (which are interchangeable) that give you a fairly portable and pretty discrete sex like experience. When you purchase The Fleshlight you get a choice of liners - I got both the STU (stamina training unit) and the "speed bump" but there's also a "wonder wave" and "super tight" version. The liners are designed to be heated with warm water before using to make them feel more flesh like. A little skeptical when I first got it, it took only a few uses to make a believer out of me. The Fleshlight provides a nice and often intense alternative to just spankin' the ole monkey with a sensation that is in the same universe as 'the real thing'. One downside to The Fleshlight was that I found that the interior liner stretched out a little too much while I used it. If I were to order it again I'd probably opt for the tighter version. One of the best things about The Fleshlight was just how well it cleans up, an essential aspect for this kind of toy. All in all The Fleshlight is absolutely worth picking up.
The other product I gave a go with was the Optimum Power Blow Job Stroker, unfortunately it couldn't hold a candle to The Fleshlight. Like The Fleshlight the Power Stroker has a fleshy liner. However it's far less fleshy and much less substantial than The Fleshlight. Another real turn off was that the liner was so full of powder that it got everywhere, even places it really didn't want it to go. My complaint list for the Optimum Power Blow Job Stroker is pretty long: no clear instructions, the need for a boat load of batteries to make it go, and the lack of any real stroking from the toy. Ultimately I found the Optimum Power Stroker to be an extremely ho-hum experience. The toy looks like it could be something fantastic, but the test drive was a lot of noise and little action. The worst part of the whole experience was the clean up. The Fleshlight has an easy screw cap end for quick and easy cleaning. The Optimum Power Blow Job Stroker was impossible to clean. While the liner is removable, the chamber of the toy traps water like you wouldn't believe. I haven't tried a lot of toys that left me not wanting to give it another go, the power stroker was the first that I actually considered tossing away.
Like all toys, these two wouldn't replace normal solo play, but of the two The Fleshlight provides an extremely enjoyable treat for when you want a little something more. Be sure to read more adult toy reviews at AdultToyTalk.com.
Overlooked Titles
Don seemed to appreciate Teen America 4 as he claimed it: "was very entertaining to me and managed to rate a solid Recommended for the way in which it provided a substantially pleasant amount of fuck for the buck (though not as much as the last volume I got to review). The cast was attractive, the technical values decent, and my impression of the series was that gonzo fans should quit being snobs and check this one out. It offered a lot of anal sex, plenty of tease footage, and a playful sense of humor often missing in the current marketplace. Robby D. has the right combination of technical skills and sense of sly humor that never takes itself too seriously so you can almost bet that a volume of this series will be worth buying."
Rob then pointed out that Big Wet Asses 6 "is great for people who want to see sexy girls partake in anal sex. But there is still a twist. In an effort to accent these lovely gals' rear ends, they get covered with oil. In the beginning of each scene the girls briefly tease by showing off their goods. Next a guy shows up and pours oil on their butts and fingers their holes. Afterwards, the sex begins. I enjoyed the "wet" (oil/lube covered) asses. It made for an interesting look and did a pretty good job accenting the girl's lovely rear ends. Overall, this is definitely worth checking out."
Next up was Writer's Block, "a movie about two writer's (Julia Ann and Steven St. Croix) that are faced wit a deadline and a growing lust for one another. Unlike many of director Jonathan Morgan's recent movies, this was made on a small budget, and that gave it a more down to Earth and personal appeal. I think couples will enjoy it as much as fans of the hot lead…" and "was the type of movie I'd suggest for anyone not into the circus act sex crud currently overwhelming the porn market these days but also for couples that don't mind a little story to go with some warm sex scenes I'd say were very couples friendly. Julia Ann was very attractive, Steven St. Croix played a guy most men could identify with, and the amount of heated scenes seemed a very nice contrast to companies that equate a "couples" movie with a short running time. Thanks in no small part to some decent extras adding plenty of value, I gave this one a rating of Recommended and I look forward to seeing how well director Jonathan Morgan fares with future project on so intimate a scale as this one."
Michael sure liked Guy Capo's Pros 2 last year, pointing out that: "This feature starts out with a disclaimer stating that "the Men who participated in this project wished to remain anonymous, with their faces obscured". During the entire flick, the guys have their faces blurred out like a bad rap video. And I liked it. From beginning to end, Guy did a fantastic job on this disc. Besides his able direction, he's assembled a cast of some extremely sexy ladies and puts 'em through their paces. If two hours filled with sexy girls fucking and getting fucked isn't hot enough, this disc also features seven scenes of each of the girls masturbating that's sure to get a rise out of you. GREAT job, DVSX!"
OK, Ladies; are you sick of your man bringing home virtual sex DVDs with titles such as "My Plaything: Jenna Jameson?" Are you ever tempted to scream out in a fit of rage, "Let Jenna do your laundry and fix your meals, Bozo!!!", said Goldenmuse having been frustrated at the male-oriented titles she was reading about so she looked for something far more appealing to the ladies, coming up with A Day with a Centerfold, stating "If so, then here is your chance for revenge. "Day With a Centerfold: Warren Northwood" takes the viewer on a virtual date with this stunner. And while this disc does not feature actual sex acts or allow the viewer to choose scenes or actions, it nonetheless provides one of the most personal, deeply erotic viewing experiences a woman can have.
Lastly, Mooninite told us about The Young and the Raunchy, stating: "The recent wave of Suze Randall/Pure play titles have all been really solid entries as of late. Randall seems to have a knack for getting the hottest women in the industry on camera at their best and even when she's not directing (as is the case with this latest DVD) her photographer's touch is still evident throughout the proceedings. Damn, I said damn, this is some pretty hot stuff. Just when you start to get jaded on watching smut movies something like this comes along that is nice and creative and even reasonably artistic but simultaneously so ball burstingly hot that it renews your faith in porndom."
Upcoming Titles
In the next few weeks we expect to get early glimpses of some of the finest porn available. One of the most promising appears to be Naomi:
There's Only One , John Leslie's latest showcase title where the booty-licious Naomi gets more screen time than in any other movie to date. If you like gals that can tease, please and drop to their knees, you're going to find John's admiration for this incredibly gifted hotty quite understandable as the newcomer shows fans yet again that she has the right stuff to make it big in her new career. One look at the cover and you'll agree that she's one to keep an eye out
for.
Private's famed director, Antonio Adamo, seems to have another two part winner with Code
Name: Mata Hari where: "Greta works as a stripper at a strip club, and her code name is Mata Hari because she is really a secret agent.
She's on her most dangerous mission to date and she'll suck and fuck as much cock as possible to ensure that she succeeds! Katy Caro is back as Greta, the super sexy secret agent, code named Mata Hart, and she's determined to save the world once again. In this second feature, Mata Hart gets undressed and goes undercover to get fucked over and over again in a frenzied bid to hold on to a top secret formula and
completing her second dangerously orgasmic mission!"
Disco Dirge is expected to provide a full report on Sex
Fetish where it has been reported that: "Pale beauties vamp out their make-up, don tightly fitting pvc-wear and slip into fishnet stockings in Sex Fetish a gothic-flavored XXX-ploration of the darkest recesses of sexual psyche. Don't miss five scenes with six goth vixens in two hours of non-stop action!" Richard De Montfort directs gals like Kat and Demi Marx so keep an eye out for the review if you're into the kind of darker ride on the wild side his vision tends to
offer.
No one was more surprised than us when Vince Vouyer left his home at Red
Light District to help start up another company, Vouyer Media. After all, he was responsible for bringing in many of the talented directors and performers that made RLD a success but his first new outing, The
Gauntlet, seems to have some of the newly rekindled energy that the studly director has long been known for, including a scene with the hot cover girl Maya Hills; an 18 year old Russian hotty. We'll be counting the loads swallowed to ensure all 20 find their way home as the cover advertises but Vince's track record speaks for
itself.
Namrufmot is prepared to tell us all about Bubble
Gum Babes soon, explaining in detail the relative strengths and merits it has compared to the rest of the series. The advertising tells us that: "Five sensational acts of hot babe hardcore make this one of the sexiest bubblegum movies to date! See Jo fucking herself as Katie takes a stiff cock from Mr. James. Watch Tiffany enjoy a fat dick in her cute ass while Davina receives a hard screw from Randy Clarke. After this, Suzy beckons a perving fan to join her in a dirty fuck and suck session, while Jamie and Nikita serve up a hot lesbo scene that's not to
be missed!"
Other upcoming titles of interest include Caribbean
Dream, a movie that Playgirl Posse member Mistress Liss will be checking out to see if the quality of Private's lush Tropical line is as appealing to her sensibilities as it was for some of our other reviewers over the last few years. This being the twentieth title in the series, we're hoping to find the beauty of the scenery to be as endearing to us as the star studded cast though we've come to trust Liss' assessment based on past observations she's provided us. Tropical islands aside, the anamorphic widescreen photography by director Alessandro Del Mar is a sure bet to make everything looks its very best so keep an eye out for
our review.
Another title for our Playgirl Posse, this time to be reviewed by ringleader Goldenmuse, will be Snapshot
where we're told: "Have you ever had that special feeling of excitement when a certain man walks in the door? The feeling that makes your whole body quiver and ache with a desire so strong, all it would take is a kiss to send you soaring into climax? Jassie was all work and no play, shooting covers for a women's high end entertainment magazine. That is, until Evan walked through her studio door. All it took was a Snapshot.
Passion leads the heart, and Evan holds Jassie's heart between his thighs!" If that doesn't float her boat, nothing
will.
Our look at classic porn in recent months continues with one of the earlier lesbian titles ever shot at VCA with Feemes
On Fire; the Henri Pachard golden oldie that was shot completely in Paris, France so many years ago. Seeing Barbara Dare and Sharon Kane in their prime is reason enough to give this one a look but the early word is that The Mooninite has unearthed another winner in his quest to revive the good old days of porn when the mechanical act of sex on film (not video) was still in its infancy and before the cookie cutter formulas kicked in to stagnate the
genre.
Last up is a hopeful look at American
Daydreams, a movie starring some of the most desirable ladies to ever grace a porno. Let's face it, putting Katja Kassin, Katie Morgan, Courtney
Cummz, and Mary Anne in a single title seems almost excessive in terms of using top end talent but director Brett Brando shows that Naughty America is poised to become a force in the porn world and reviewer Rob Randell is going to show us
just what they have to offer.
