LENGTH: 150 mins with bonus material

If there is one thing that is sorely lacking in most hardcore hierarchies, it's a sense of consistency. Take your favorite series, for example. You've been following the XXX antics of Johnny Drillhead and his Dong Loving Dreamboats (not a real porn product, but if he sees the name used in the future, the Dirge is certainly gonna sue!) over all of his 14 fun-filled compilations. Every time you visit your local smut peddler, your eyes immediately race to the "Js" (or maybe the "Ds", depending on the literacy level of the store's employees), hoping to see another telltale title from your favorite (insert personal proclivity and/or fetish here) champion. Sure enough, Drillhead Does Dubai #15 has just arrived and your crotch can hardly contain itself. Out pops the Visa, in pops the DVD, down goes the shades and up goes the lotion lid as you personally ripen and ready your rod to stain some furniture. Hand on hickory stick you begin the first flaccid strokes when it suddenly hits you. This new scene set kinda sucks, and not in the openly oral way you expected. The camerawork is crap, the settings seem seedy and the formerly hot Dreamboats now resemble smelly skank stevedores from a local dive bar. Still, this is Johnny D you're talking about, a guy who guided you through 14 other autoerotic episodes, and he's never let your loins down before. So it's back to the pud pulling. But as the movie meanders and the fucking turns fetid, you find yourself doing something you've never even considered before. You turn off the home theater system and resolve to check out what's on Cinemax After Dark.

And that's it. It's happened. For the first, an adult title that usually guaranteed some manner of crotch rocking has let you down. And it's all because it couldn't maintain its consistency through several incarnations. That's what's so wonderful about Seymore Butts. While there are some who just can't get into his self-centered gonzo goof-balling, the Dirge has to admit that every title he's ever seen by the Showtime star/home made hardcore entrepreneur has been absolutely sizzling. American Tushy 2 is no exception. Over the course of four fabulous scenes, Mr. Butts and his babes – known to all as the "Tushy Girls" provide untold moments of tool tightening delight. And the amazing thing is that he, without fail, delivers the delicious dicking by basically fleshing out the same formula over and over again.

The DVD:

As with all of Mr. Butts works, this video diary/day in the life centers around Seymore and his persona as a porn producer/director/distributor and star. The plot is very basic, and though the film clocks in at over two-plus hours, there are only a few fantastic sequences of sensual sharking. Using a 'captured in real time' dynamic, the scenes here are passionate, plausible, and complete penis (or pussy) pleasing. It is safe to offer up an overall score right now, as not a single spunk spree on this DVD is a let down. On the Disco Dirge Peter Meter, American Tushy 2 earns a resplendent 9.5 out of 10 and is highly recommended. The only thing keeping this title – and other Butts product like it – from the DVD Talk Collectors call are things like the lack of production value, the movie's sometimes strange cinematic style and the dearth of digital bonus material on the disc. Otherwise, this is as hot and horny as hardcore gets.

For those interested in the story, we catch up with our incredibly lucky bastard as he is showering, preparing to go on a date. McKalya Matthews, the lead lady of this DVD, enters the bathroom to tell Seymore that his foreign friend Hakan has just arrived. McKalya also wants to make sure that Seymore has taken care of a little pre-date dick draining, ala the hair gel scene in There's Something About Mary. When he fails to see the need, Ms. Matthews begins with the bawdy basics:

Scene 1: McKayla Matthews, Seymore Butts

Fresh from the shower, McKayla clamps onto Seymore's cock and gives the limp noodle a nice, stiffening suck. After her job of blowing is over, Seymore towels off, grabs his camcorder and inserts his rod into McKayla's back door. The vaginal doggy is supplemented by anal bow-wow, and it's not long before Seymore is slammin' his happy housemate with long, powerful strokes. Using the mirror in the bathroom to provide a different set of angles, we witness toe sucking and a few more butt pumps before Seymore shoots his stored up slop all over Ms. Matthews's ass. She provides a little A to M to finish off this pre-rendezvous regiment. Though the reflected nature of the action occasionally makes the humping hard to see, this is a great way to start off this film. The sex is superb and the randy relationship between the couple is readily apparent.

Scene 2: McKayla Matthews, Hakan

Seymore is ready to leave and is looking for McKayla and Hakan to say goodbye. He finds them fornicating in the living room, McKayla beginning the balling by blowing on Hakan's Teutonic tool. Before offering his farewells, Mr. Butts settles down to watch – and record – the action. McKayla works the stiff shaft and the blistering balls before Hakan starts hankering for hooter. After a little tit sucking and face sitting cunnilingus, (with supplemental ass and snatch fingering), the fucking begins. McKayla and her man spoon, Hakan's cock deep into his lady's love canal. The position shifts into pile driver mode, then into reverse cowgirl. Suddenly, it's shitter sampling, as dick goes into rancid rosebud for a little backward bronco bucking. Grabbing his gal, Hakan spins McKayla over onto her back for a session of straight anal. With a little jousting and some gaping, our Germanic hunk explodes, spewing his seed right into McKayla's mouth. As well paired as Seymore and McKayla were, her combination with Hakan is twice as hot. This long session of sex is absolutely amazing, with plenty of incredible copulation.

Scene 3: Darla Crane, Seymore Butts

Seymore has returned from his date with Darla and the couple is contemplating their next move. Butts goes over to start a fire, and when he turns around, Darla has a banana up her ass. Yes, you read that right – A REAL BANANA UP HER INCREDIBLY TIGHT ASS! The scene shifts into overdrive here, and the sex skyrockets into the stratosphere. There is kissing and cunnilingus, with the telltale fruit still stuck up the poop chute. Seymore finally removes the snack and peels back the skin. He then shoves the sticky sweet treat into Darla's douche domain and after a few quick flicks, he eats the well moistened produce. Seymore continues the pussy plumping (with additional g-spot fingering) and he occasionally climbs up a bit to suck on Darla's delicious – if apparently fake – fog-hats. With such a pre-pork appetizer out of the way, the pair commence rig frig formation. First, they try some straight vaginal. Then a little direct stimulation of the clit, with the head of Seymore's schlong doing the diddling. They partake of some doggy – with V to M moments – and Seymore can't resists reaming the rectum with his hands. Next, the bottle of olive oil comes out and Mr. Butts' boner is covered in beneficial fat. He slams his stiffee into Mr. Crane's ass-crack and the dumper doggy begins. After what seems like an eternity - but a very erotic one, mind you – Seymore unfurls his flesh fluid directly into Darla's mouth. She swallows the ball brine with a happy smile. There are just three words to describe this scene – HOT!HOT!HOT! Darla is one horny honey and Seymore responds with compassion and caring. This is the best sequence in a sensational set.

Scene 4: McKayla Matthews, Alberto

We shift continents to Europe. Seymore and McKayla are in Brussels, Belgium for an awards show/convention and we see them hob knobbing at a swanky bar. Ms. Matthews mentions a man she has her eye on and Seymore shrugs it off. The next morning, Mr. Butts arrives at McKayla's hotel room to make sure she is up and packing. Turns out, she's awake, and stuffing something. Alberto, a beefy bohunk is naked in bed, ready to help load Ms. Matthews's junk trunk. As Seymore sits in, McKayla and her man kiss and fondle each other. The foreplay turns to fur fluffing as Alberto snacks on McKayla's snatch. A finger or two also finds their way into the womanly wetlands. When it's his turn to be tasted, McKayla makes Alberto pay with plenty of dick, ball, taint and salad tossing action. The fucking then comes fast and furious. The couple starts in reverse cowgirl mode, then moves to spoon in a patented skin spin special. There is some anal manipulation before man member takes a pile driving dip into the hot hinder. There is some gapping amongst the butt banging and Alberto unleashes his foreign flow all over McKayla's open asshole. But the best is yet to cum. Al is not quite finished, and he moves up to McKalya's mouth and pumps his peter one more time. Out comes another solid spray of shaft soda pop, much to Ms. Matthews's delight. Again, as with Hakan, McKayla looks great grappling with the pretty boy parameters of the animalistic Al. It makes for an incredibly erotic and exciting scene.

And that's it. Four scenes. Four hot as Hell exchanges of bodily broths. This is great sex captured in a very freestyle and fetching manner. It's amazing to see how Seymore can handle a camera and fuck the fire out of a gal while never missing a stroke or a shot sequence. And when he has passionate performers like McKayla and Darla onboard, who really needs clever concepts or real movie machinations? The secret to Seymore's success seems to be in finding the right fuck buddies and pairing them up. Everyone in American Tushy 2, from the twat talent to the tool masters, look like they love what they are doing. Sometimes, women in porn can seem passive, or even pissed off, that they are once again taking it up the orifice for a dollar. But there is a feeling of authenticity and actual physical connection between the couples here that translates into sizzling hardcore happiness. The story and the settings are unimportant. And all gonzo wannabes can learn a thing or two from Mr. Butts. Adult films are not about the quantity of babes, or the number of positions you can plow through. The real genius is in finding performers who PREFER to plook on camera. Just seeing the people porking in American Tushy 2 makes you believe in the ability of porn to provide good, clean carnal knowledge. This is one of the best adult titles on the market.

The Video:

Clearly filmed with handheld equipment in less than technically perfect conditions, Seymore Butts' American Tushy 2 looks remarkably good. The 1.33:1 full frame image is clean, colorful and missing those usual transfer issues (flaring, bleeding) that come from a video shoot. While details can be diffused and faces washed out in the extreme close-up conventions of his filming style, Mr. Butts still offers a good picture and professional print.

The Audio:

Since most of our lovers are very LOUD in their responses, the aural issues in American Tushy 2 have nothing to do with volume and everything to do with depth. The soundtrack is very flat, with little to liven up the sequences. While this sonic vérité ideal may seem authentic and realistic, the audio limitations make it a rather plain, if proficient, presentation.

The Extras:

One area where Seymore and his crew need to step up their game is in the bonus feature department. Sure, we get an additional sex sequence, and some trailers/ads (including a HILARIOUS infomercial for Seymore's Bachelor Party service???) but a Behind the Scenes – or better yet, an episode of his Showtime series Family Business – would help give the DVD a little merchandising heft. With other companies piling on the extra product, this near bare bones bonanza seems a little skimpy. Even the supplementary Sappho sister scene is rather sparse:

Bonus Scene: Venus and Mari Possa

Our ladies are licking and sticking each other in a vanity/ dressing room and the same old lesbian logistics apply. There is pussy eating, pussy licking, pussy fingering, pussy playtime and pussy popping. Mari and Venus eventually break out the numerical nonsense and engage in some 69. But once the toys take to treasure trove, it's a lot of hard hand racking for the rest of the sequence. Mari and Venus create a decent couple, but as with most same sex pairings onscreen, it's difficult to really feel the heat. Score: 4.5 out of 10.

Final Thoughts:Get ready for the repetition, but American Tushy 2 is a fantastic fuck fest, a steamy sampling of quasi-amateur, 'off the cuff' log rolling that really feeds the libido. It's one of those titles that will turn you into a Seymore Butts fan, even if you weren't already privy to his other pooper-pounding product. On the Disco Dirge Peter Meter, the 9.5 stands and the high recommendation is duly recorded. Couples will climb all over each other after partaking of this pole and pucker pleasure cruise, so a Cohabitation Certification is certainly deserved. There may come a day when Seymore stumbles and puts out a product which fails to expand the dimensions of satisfactory sex (and maybe, it's already arrived. The Dirge can't watch EVERY porn title in existence). But until he witnesses it, 'D to the D' will be well aware that any time he happens upon a Seymore Butts slam jam, he'll be getting his gonads worth. Consistency is a rare commodity in hardcore. Seymore Butts is that always dick-tingling anomaly. So naturally, American Tushy 2 is a great XXX title.
