scene title:  teens with big tits share foot play performers:  boni, marry morgan site:  lesbea  ◅  sexyhub (really useful) production credits:  none listed trailer l: boni, r: marry morgan after two relatively intense scenes back to back, it was nice to finish off the 14th with an undemanding european scene with no story or character conflict, no dialogue other than the occasional "yes" or "sí," and a gauzy set that manages to be suffused with light without blowing out the camera lens. huh, it's almost like actual photographers know how to handle light. not that it was perfect: boni's skin tone could be oddly yellowish at times (porn doesn't know how to light black people, part one million), but she was lovely anyway: and as if to make up for her last appearance on lesbea, when i complained that she got relatively little attention in the threesome (because someone always does in a threesome), marry spends the bulk of the running time p...

scene title:  honey, it's not what you think! performers:  bridgette b, romi rain site:  hot and mean  ◅  brazzers (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: romi rain, r: bridgette b i'm not going to lie, i did a small dorky dance of excitement when i saw that bridgette b had a scene i could review this month. i have no particular views on her as a person, but as a performer, she's one of the best in the business, oriented particularly around character and narrative, and so one of the great improvisers of dialogue not just of her generation of porn stars, but likely of all time. maybe i just think that because her particular tics of things she thinks of to say are things that i find hot, or maybe the slight hint of her spanish accent does it for me; but for my money when she's really feeling a scene there's not a better dirty-talker in the state of california. if she wasn't really feeling this scene it is undetectable: playing the...

scene title:  sapphic curse of the crystal skull performers:  adriana chechik, kissa sins site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.) trailer l: adriana chechik, r: kissa sins i have complained so much about stills by alan's day-to-day girlsway work that i may have given the impression that i don't think he could be a competent director. but that's not true; it's just that on the usual schedule he maintained of two scenes per day over the past couple of years, he took a lot of shortcuts and attempted very little quality control. when he was working on more ambitious projects, like the features that first made girlsway a name to be reckoned with in the industry, but which had more recently slowed to a trickle as the engagement metrics failed to support them, he could produce work at least as good as the average shitty tv show. here, he uses a combination of drone footage over desert landscapes, shots of his stars hiking in t...

scene title:  facesitting performers:  sienna g, zina b site:  abbywinters production credits:  giulia (dir.) trailer l: sienna g, r: zina b the promise of amateur porn, that for a significant reduction in production value you get real, authentic, unmediated sex, is, quite apart from the truth of the claim, profoundly uninteresting to me. watching real, authentic, unmediated sex sparks in me not voyeuristic lust but an equally human reaction of regret at having intruded and an immediate desire to let these strangers alone to conduct their intimate business in the privacy they deserve. what i want out of porn is not authenticity, but entertainment: i want to be conducted by professionals through a fantasy. sienna and gina seem like very nice canadian women (i have no idea whether abby winters exclusively recruits their talent pool from canadians staying in amsterdam hostels, but it certainly seems that way), but i am no more eager to watch them have r...

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:  soft girl obedience performers:  jenna sativa, kayla paris site:  when girls play  ◅  twistys (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: jenna sativa, r: kayla paris i've always been a little skeptical of jenna sativa. not in the sense of the standard girl/girl fan "oh she's not really a lesbian" moaning, or even in the more discerning porn fan's belief that her white-of-the-eyes orgasms are over-the-top and inauthentic. i am one who appreciates any effort performers put in to convince the camera they're having orgasms, and i don't expect any girl/girl performer (whether exclusively so or not) to be a six on the kinsey scale. girl/girl porn is made for hetero consumption; if queer people are able to enjoy it too, that's a bonus rather than the objective. no, my issue with jenna sativa is that she rarely feels committed to the scene. i don't mean the sex: she's one of the top three or four all-time g...

scene title:  mastur-baiting mommy performers:  emma hix, dee williams site:  mommy's girl  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  craven moorehead (dir.), fistopher nolan (scr.) trailer l: emma hix, r: dee williams the seventh girlsway scene i've reviewed for the month of april, and the third director to be called in as a replacement for stills by alan. craven moorehead has been a gamma contractor for a while now: he's filled in when alan couldn't maintain the onerous schedule throughout 2018, and he's the main director for pure taboo. not that this is shot anything like a pure taboo scene: it's still the pretty standard girlsway setup, but with a better eye and a cooler, less oversaturated color palette. dee in particular is highly flushed by the end of the scene, but rather than glowing bright red, as she would have under stills by alan's camera, she's just a delicate rose color. the subdued colors are suited to a scene that take...

scene title:  vagina vendetta performers:  abigail mac, kendra spade site:  girls gone pink  ◅  mofos (mindgeek) production credits:  none listed trailer l: abigail mac, r: kendra spade oh god i said i wasn't going to talk about what gets me hard or wet, so i'll just note here that i have discovered, much later in life than i would have imagined possible, that i have a fetish i didn't realize i did. this is the second girls gone pink scene i'm reviewing, and kendra and abigail follow through on the handheld-camera premise much more extensively and imaginatively, and with greater narrative justification, than the silly gym antics of milana may and mackenzie moss. kendra is mad at a cheating boyfriend, and invites over the best friend she was cheated on with to film themselves fucking each other "better than he ever did." they trade off holding the camera while they go through any number of positions, never forgetting to remind the viewer ...

scene title:  untreatable part 2 performers:  sofi ryan, kenna james site:  digital playground (mindgeek) production credits:  françois clousot (dir.), zach (scr.) trailer l: sofi ryan, r: kenna james i'm a little disappointed that this is the first digital playground scene i've been able to cover all month. it seems that starting in april, digital playground has stopped producing stand-alone scenes under the flixxx brand and are only focused on features (full-length movies with four to five scenes aimed at the dvd market) now. this is of course a reversion to the studio's original purpose long before they were bought by mindgeek, but it does mean fewer scenes, of less variety, every month. it might also mean more budget for the features so that the overall quality is better, but as a girl/girl viewer, for me it means hoping for scraps from every production instead of being sure of a few scenes a month. the scraps in this production are sofi ry...

scene title:  my summer part 3 performers:  emylia argan, alexis crystal site:  sexart (metart) production credits:  andrej lupin (dir., ed.), david "tata" jones (scr.) trailer l: emylia argan, r: alexis crystal it feels like this month is not showing off sexart at its best. not that this scene is bad at all, it's just something that any viewer of european erotic porn has seen before. alexis crystal and emylia argan are two of the most prolific czech performers, with alexis a rarity in europe, a performer who primarily does girl/girl. in keeping with the scenario of beach fun that turns into further intimacy, both of them are wearing hairstyles that keep their hair out of their face, alexis with pigtails and emylia with a messy bun. which is great from a verisimilitude point of view, but it's not particularly glamorous. the scenario, by the way, is about all that connects this to the other "my summer" episodes on sexart, the remainder of ...

scene title:  are you ready for this wild twosome performers:  sydney cole, victoria june site:  wild on cam  ◅  cherry pimps (pimp.xxx) production credits:  none listed trailer l: sydney cole, r: victoria june another week, another girl/girl wildoncam show featuring two performers i've never watched before more engaged in playing to the live audience than in interacting with each other. camming is my least favorite of the porn formats, mostly because i'm exclusively a girl/girl consumer and the (demographically accurate) heteronormativity of camming as a genre is relentless. of course flattering the male viewer is the way performers make money during a cam session, so i can't begrudge them that attention. it's just not what i'm here for. sydney cole and victoria june may be new to me, but they've both been around for several years, and are very personable and good at what they do. they've both done plenty of girl/girl, and aren't shy a...

scene title:  black sheep cousins performers:  kendra spade, eliza ibarra site:  webyoung  ◅  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), zombie (ed.) ossienelson4 (scr.) trailer l: kendra spade, r: eliza ibarra if, as i hope i've made clear i wish to be the case, these last few scenes directed by stills by alan late last year are the last i ever see from him, then it's appropriate that at least one of them show off how terribly unimaginative he could be as a director. the blandness, stupidity, and tediousness of this scene should be remembered as his hallmarks, just as much as the novelty of his work as it first appeared back in 2015-2016 (when bree mills was still much more directly involved in girlsway). that blandness, stupidity, and tediousness can only partly be laid at the feet of the performers, both of whom i've seen better work from but who did not appear to be trying terribly hard on the day of this shoot. they'...

scene title:  operation catfish performers:  chanel preston, jane wilde site:  whipped ass ◅ kink production credits:  fivestar (dir.) trailer l: jane wilde, r: chanel preston i can't help feeling a bit spoiled that both kink scenes that have come up for review have featured wall-to-wall spiegler girls. you're always in safe hands with spiegler girls: they know what they're doing, they know what they want, they know how to perform to the camera, and they can act, so the scenario doesn't get dropped in favor of whatever fetishy acts kink has hired them for that day. this scenario worked better than the casey/kira/whitney one, i thought. it was still dumb as rocks, but it remained consistent throughout and chanel even thoughtfully explained in dialogue why she continued to torture jane with orgasms even though she failed out of the covert ops training that was the ostensible reason for the sex in the first place. military or security-service re...

scene title:  lesbians make out and eat pussy performers:  sovereign syre, victoria voxxx site:  zero tolerance production credits:  mike quasar (dir.) trailer l: victoria voxxx, r: sovereign syre i've talked shit about zero tolerance before over the course of this month, and i probably will have reason to again, but scenes like this make their shotgun approach to releasing bucketloads of content seem sensible. it's the fourth and last vignette from is it wrong she's my stepmom? volume three, and it's the best of the bunch. most of that is due entirely to the central performances. as in the three previous scenes, the "stepdaughter" gives a brief voiceover introducing herself and her stepmother. but it's unnecessary, because the encounter that sovereign and victoria actually play out is far more engaging and full of personality and character than any of the voiceovers. sovereign walks in on victoria masturbating, and attempts to use it as ...

scene title:  jenna foxx's hotline performers:  eden sin, jenna foxx site:  spizoo production credits:  none listed trailer l: eden sin, r: jenna foxx oh, hey, a spizoo scene with a scenario. not that it's much of one. woman fucks plumber is just behind woman fucks pizza boy as one of the hoariest porn setups. and this runs through the paces in an even more desultory fashion than most. eden sin (best wishes for her recovery ) doesn't attempt to be convincing about discovering a bad smell in the sink; once jenna foxx arrives as a plumber with very dangly earrings, the overall acting prowess ticks up a couple notches, but it's a relief when the awkward attempts at small talk end and the sex begins. the sex itself is only okay; eden (who i've never seen before) seems tentative and even inept, while jenna (who i've seen lots from and really enjoy) is smoothly professional. there's still virtually no communication or attempt to keep the scenario u...

scene title:  midnight love performers:  marry morgan, naomi bennett site:  viv thomas (metart) production credits:  nik fox & tom veller (dir.), john sweet (ed.) trailer l: marry morgan, r: naomi bennett sometimes it feels impossible to have everything. viv thomas sets such a high standard of lighting, photography, and staging that virtually every us production company could stand to learn from even the dullest of their scenes; but their scenarios are so limited, the european talent is so frequently limited in their acting ability, and the sex is often so perfunctory that the finished product may be beautiful, but it hardly engages me at all. the specific talent here doesn't help. slovakian marry morgan appears to be brand new, and is very awkward even in the limited pantomime of scrolling through her phone; czech naomi bennet is more experienced, but neither of them reveal any hint of personality, letting the delicate photography and exqu...

scene title:  lesbian legal #14 [scene 2] performers:  sarah vandella, hannah hays site:  girlfriends films production credits:  b. skow (dir.) trailer l: hannah hays, r: sarah vandella it hasn't yet been two weeks, but i'm just sick of girlfriends by now. the lame scripts, the awkward performances, the miserable camerawork, the snail's-crawl pacing, the minimal-effort sets, the total lack of glamour or artifice. i know that that's the selling point, that girlfriends' audience believes glamour and artifice to be another way to say lies, and they like it because it feels real. but as the sidebar that highly accomplished pornstars serene siren and sarah vandella as lawyers take before conferring with their teenage clients demonstrates, just doing things while being filmed is awkward and unappealing: artifice is how you make the audience feel the things you're doing, and glamour is how you make those things look good. the plot makes no sense, and ...
