scene title:  katrina jade and gina valentina wash each others pussies performers:  katrina jade, gina valentina site:  elegant angel production credits:  sid knox (dir.) trailer l: gina valentina, r: katrina jade every year gonzo studio elegant angel releases several all-new compilations featuring major contenders for the big avn awards: this scene is from performers of the year 2019. it's the only girl/girl scene on the disc; angela white (who won poty for the second year running in 2019), kissa sins, and abella danger were all in boy/girl scenes. we've seen all of them here over the course of the past month, if not necessarily at their best. we've also seen gina valentine and katrina jade here quite recently, and this is gina's third appearance in a gonzo scene this month. like her girlfriends scene with whitney wright, it opens with a dual interview to camera, although because elegant angel is a much better studio than girlfriends the interview ...

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 5] performers:  carolina sweets, paige owens site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: carolina sweets, r: paige owens it seems as though each scene in this release is aimed at a different segment of the girl/girl market: lacy and gina for the romance fans, ana and kenzie for the gonzo fans, reagan and jessica for the milf fans, emma and darcie for the glamour fans, and now carolina and paige for the fans of the "teen" category. i've said my piece about why i despise that category, and i won't repeat myself here; i'll just note that both women are in their early twenties and despite being styled in youthful fashions in the intro they do no pretending that they're younger than they are. i've reviewed carolina working for girlfriends and paige working for brazzers, and while i wasn't enormously impressed by either of them they are both perfectly competent at...

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 4] performers:  darcie dolce, emma hix site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: darcie dolce, r: emma hix as i suspected, darcie dolce isn't incapable of giving an intimate performance; she just has to be paired with the right partner. she still isn't wholly vulnerable here: her go-to move of blowing a raspberry on her partner's genitals, which has always been indicative to me her preference for high energy over maintaining a connection, rears its head once or twice. but emma is patient and genuine with her (she always initiates communication, which seems necessary with darcie), and by the end of the scene they both seem to experience real satisfaction. the filmmaking is spectacular. the room is as echoey (all hard surfaces and open areas) as the ana/kenzie scene, but instead of being on a couch they're on a large ottoman, so the cameras can shoot them like they're on a ...

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 2] performers:  ana foxxx, kenzie taylor site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: kenzie taylor, r: ana foxxx at about the four-minute mark i was about to start complaining that the underlighting of these scenes meant that ana foxxx' dark skin was muddy and indistinct, and then someone either turned a light on or adjusted the camera's aperture properly, and for the rest of the scene the lighting was exceptionally beautiful. the setting is a faux-leather couch in an echoey hall rather than a bed in a muffled room, so the sound is worse than the previous scene: and kenzie and ana are naturally louder performers than gina and lacy. this isn't gentle and romantic, but energetic and cheerful, with silly porn positions (including reverse cowboy on a dildo stuck to a glass table; ana is such a champ) and plenty of dirty talk. both of them are grown women who know what they like an...

scene title:  axel braun's girlfest 2 [scene 1] performers:  gina valentina, lacy lennon site:  wicked pictures production credits:  axel braun (dir.) trailer l: lacy lennon, r: gina valentina the hollow laugh i gave out when this five-scene collection popped up on the last monday in the month, the second-to-last day before i will be free of this goddamn project. back deep in the archives now, i expressed surprise and delight at how many wicked scenes i was getting to review, because they were usually so sparing with their girl/girl. two weeks passed with only boy/girl releases, and i felt we were back to normal. then of course axel braun drops a wall-to-wall girl/girl release, as if to taunt me. wicked is known for their features, but like everyone else they keep the lights on with "all-sex" releases, themed compilations of story-free sex between good-looking performers who are pros enough to either have real chemistry or to fake it well enough tha...

scene title:  marley brinx first ggdp! performers:  marley brinx, ivy lebelle, lyra law site:  lesbianx  ◅  xempire production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: ivy lebelle, c: marley brinx, r: lyra law phew. i'm glad that there was at least one manic strapon frenzy on lesbianx this month, since that's one of the site's primary niches, along with squirting and anal. the pre-scene interview continues to be back, and this time petite marley brinx is the star, doing her first girl/girl double penetration scene. ivy lebelle, who was in the last lesbianx scene, and lyra law, who has popped up a couple times now, including in the first scene i reviewed for this blog, are her pseudo-studs. but girl/girl double penetration isn't really a very common type of scene outside of lesbianx: the symbiotic relationship between gonzo and relatively extreme acts strikes again, since those acts are difficult to build into a narrative (pace kink), so gonzo g...

scene title:  4 on 1 lesbian gang bangs #04 [scene 1] performers:  daphne klyde, naomi bennet, victoria pure, antonia sainz, jenifer jane site:  doghouse digital (mile high) production credits:  kk (dir.) trailer l to r, standing: victoria pure, naomi bennet, jenifer jane, antonia sainz, c: daphne klyde one other reason i might have liked london river's gangbang so much is that i was already subconsciously comparing it to this, which i knew was coming up next, and which i could tell just from the preview images would be, for my purposes, unsatisfactory on every level. doghouse digital is mile high media's european sub-brand; best known for romantic, script-heavy imprints like sweet sinner and sweetheart video, mile high uses doghouse as a generic clearinghouse for mostly-gonzo, mostly-hardcore stuff that caters to particular fetishes. their girl/girl material in particular is exclusively either younger/older pairings or this kind of pointless n...

scene title:  we like girls: cadence and serena performers:  cadence lux, serena blair site:  we like girls ◅ girlsway (gamma) production credits:  bree mills (dir.), clit eastwood (ed.) trailer l: serena blair, r: cadence lux this is the fifth entry in the we like girls project, one of several original series bree mills is producing for adult time, gamma's attempt to create a netflix-style porn destination with high-quality content, a vast licensed back catalog, and entries in every major porn genre. because it's girl/girl it falls under the girlsway umbrella, but traditional girlsway fans are mostly turning their noses up at it: they want the shitty stories and lame acting, they don't want to see the girls talk to the camera or see behind the scenes as the camera crew and makeup artists get them ready. they want fantasy, and they think that seeing the director interact with the performers kills the fantasy. so what do i think? i think it's ...

scene title:  epic lesbian super squirters performers:  ivy lebelle, giselle palmer site:  lesbianx (xempire) production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: ivy lebelle, r: giselle palmer the to-camera interview on lesbianx returns! i guess mason was just experimenting, or perhaps making a specific aesthetic choice for the eventual dvd collection, with the previous scenes. regardless, the five minutes or so we get with ivy and giselle talking with mason before the scene starts is immensely helpful in giving me a way into the action once it heats up. i've mentioned before that i'm not particularly a fan of scenes built around squirting. as i like to say, i believe women, and various performers have gone on record as saying that in squirting scenes the orgasms are mostly genuine but the fluid is mostly urine. far be it from me to say what does or doesn't feel good to release; but i think i have the usual human distaste for waste product (even if it...

scene title:  girly bedroom performers:  kate rich, elin holm site:  ultra films production credits:  fredy riger (dir.) trailer l: kate rich, r: elin holm a light and silly amuse-bouche as a palate cleanser between two long and tedious scenes (i'm only guessing about the next one in sequence, but i know what's on the schedule). i typically think of porn scenes as being between twenty and fifty minutes long, but this one, at not even sixteen minutes, struggles to fill its running length. some consumers would say it isn't even porn, but erotica, since the two of them only touch each other intimately with underwear on and once the panties come off they only masturbate. i've reviewed elin holm before under the name elin flame for viv thomas (and yet another variation on her name is coming up), but kate rich is new to me; they're both russian, though, and speak not a word throughout. they're certainly cute, and appear to enjoy themselves, but that...

scene title:  hot lesbian seduction performers:  alina lopez, anne amari site:  lesbianx (xempire) production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: alina lopez, r: anne amari speaking of mid-2000s gonzo, here's a scene straight from that school, with only the ages of the participants, the highness of the definition, and the zooming trap beats that open it marking any difference in the passage of time. i know and deeply respect alina lopez, one of the strongest young performers of the present moment, but this is my first encounter with anne amari, who appears to be less than a year into her career. because mason has stopped doing the brief interview to camera where she asks the girls what they're doing and how they feel about it, i have no feel for her personality beyond what reactions alina, who is very much driving the scene throughout, is able to elicit with her snakelike tongue and boundless energy. but they're both beautiful young women and giv...

scene title:  a hot date performers:  jasmine jae, victoria voxxx site:  cherry pimps (pimp.xxx) production credits:  dean capture (dir.) trailer l: jasmine jae, r: victoria voxxx it's my understanding that cherry pimps has become one of the leading glamour sites over the past few years, thanks largely to dean capture's delicate, gauzy photography. but their parent company, pimp.xxx, is still a notably second-tier network, unable to compete with industry behemoths like mindgeek or gamma; so they do a lot of throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. the wildoncam sub-brand is part of that, and so is this scene, halfway between a cam scene and a traditional glamour-site scene. firstly, it's gonzo, with no particular scenario: statuesque british legend jasmine jae and ringleted all-natural victoria voxxx introduce themselves to the viewer already in lingerie, and in victoria's case spend a lot of the scene eye-fucking the camera. but because ...

scene title:  rocky loves kate obsession performers:  kate kennedy, rocky emerson site:  spizoo production credits:  none listed trailer l: kate kennedy, r: rocky emerson i've talked at length about my feelings on gonzo already; and if mason at lesbianx produces some of the best gonzo in porn, the mostly uncredited and wildly variable production crews that produce content for spizoo produce some of the most consistently mediocre gonzo. which is a shame, because i like the ethos behind spizoo a lot: founded by 2000s-era porn legend jessica jaymes, it's closer to a partnership with the performers who use the service to host their content than it is a corporate employer of talent. but not every performer has the best eye for or interest in quality control; so spizoo's output is, as i say, variable. i know kate kennedy and rocky emerson more by reputation than through having seen much of their work; they seem like perfectly lovely people, and fully e...

scene title:  all natural anal lesbians performers:  georgia jones, izzy lush site:  lesbianx  ◅  xempire production credits:  mason (dir.) trailer l: georgia jones, r: izzy lush i haven't talked about gonzo here much yet. partly that's because the girl/girl audience tends to be much more invested in story and character than in just wanting to see sex acts, so scenario girl/girl porn is better financially rewarded than gonzo girl/girl. i've certainly expressed that preference here. but there's good and bad gonzo, as there is good and bad everything. gonzo porn has developed a reputation for being more extreme, rough, and even degrading than scenario porn, but there's nothing inherent in the format that means it has to be. "gonzo porn" was coined in reference to gonzo journalism, in which reporters acknowledge their own involvement and impact in the story instead of maintaining the traditional view-from-nowhere pretense. gonzo porn, then, ...

scene title:  fast fisting orgasm performers:  angel, victoria pure site:  fister twister (g max division) production credits:  none listed trailer l: victoria pure, r: angel surprise surprise, the reviewer who wants porn to have beautiful cinematography and narrative structure and engaging characters and people who reflect the actual diversity of the world hates european fetish porn. i'll keep this brief. you know if this kind of thing is for you. it isn't for me. story and personality, not medicalized anatomy, is what i find erotic. the act of fisting specifically i have no problem with, it can be a beautiful expression of intimacy; it's the fetishization of it as spectacle, the circus-performance aspect on display here, that grosses me out. nevertheless, it has its place. i take it the performers who engage in it enjoy it, or at least don't mind it and enjoy getting paid. angel, the one receiving the speculum, the giant racialized dildo, and fi...

scene title:  lesbian sex #19 [scene 4] performers:  gina valentina, whitney wright site:  girlfriends films production credits:   dan o'connell (dir.) trailer l: gina valentina, r: whitney wright despite my disdain, girlfriends is just about neck-and-neck with girlsway as the most prolific girl/girl porn brand in the industry; and thanks to the happenstance of when the weekly schedule falls on the monthly calendar, i'm reviewing two girlfriends scenes before even one girlsway. this one is from a dvd that was released in november 2018, from a line that is the closest girlfriends gets, in their stodgy, uninflected way, to gonzo. gina and whitney sit down with each other and ask pat questions about each others' sexual histories and how they deal with the stigma of being in porn. after about twenty minutes of gina's stoner philosophy and whitney's practised generalizations, they smile awkwardly at the camera and we cut to kissing. they are much more c...
