Porn Valley Life

You know who’s nice? Olivia O’Lovely. You see enough pictures of a porn celebrity in a confrontational pose, looking  – I don’t know, sternly? – at the camera and you think that perhaps she might not be accessible, or friendly. Not that they owe it to you to be either of those things, but it’s [...]

The petite Cayenne is one of the many treats in Private’s well-presented  Ibiza Sex Party 2. One of the handful of European porn stars who crack a smile, she is carried to a sandbar and pretty much ensalinated for her courteous nature while, far offshore, sailors on a Liberian freighter strained at their spyglasses.
People who [...]

Despite the hyppe it has received, I enjoyed Not the Bradys XXX, especially Jasmine Byrne, whose dirty talk I found compelling despite the lack of “Gram!” utterances.
To prove her flexibility and sexworthiness, here Byrne bites her own knee. I think this gestuure should replace the double middle fingers in ppornic iconography.
Her own knee. Now that’s [...]

This is the type of movie I can use as an example of porn I appreciate even if it’s not right for me.
A lesbian BDSM romp featuring Michelle Aston and Amber Rayne, Bleu Productions’  was shot by Maria Beatty on a shoestring plot. Aston both worships and whips Amber Rayne, who is willingly subservient. Rayne [...]

There is a lot to say about Joe Gallant’s latest movie, The Skin Trade, that doesn’t include cover girl Sasha Grey, but she is definitely the cherry on this cake someone left out in the rain.
For those of us who have only been watching the same kind of rechewed porn for a few years (and [...]

I was on the set of David Aaron Clark’s “No Man’s Land: Asian” watching the barefoot Jandi and Kitty remove the vestments of the fabulously hair-extended Ange Venus.
“It’s like you’re removing the robes of the queen” Clark said, adding, “as it were.”
Clark is a pragmatist and said “as it were” because he remembers that this [...]

I’m visiting Belladonna on the day Ashley Blue is shooting a foot fetish movie in her house. Whenever I’m in certain nicer neighborhoods of Porn Valley, neighborhoods that achieve a nice balance between residential and upper-crusty, where there are neither warehouses nor McMansions, I always wonder if the neighbors know.
“Well, we’ve got the truck with [...]

I really liked Naughty America’s DVD compilation Naughty Flipside Vol. I.
I watch a lot of porn and I know a lot of porn stars. Because of the latter, I often don’t enjoy the former. For me, the people who perform in porn movies for a living are routinely more interesting and fun in person than [...]

There is a Filipino restaurant across the street from my office called Good Ha. Vivid’s new comedy label is known as Vivid HA. There is no connection, other than the Filipinos always laugh at me when I try to order.
I like porn that is intentionally funny, because somehow it makes the women seem hotter. I [...]

Puritan America associates porn, with its guarantees of release and guilty pleasure, with not trying too hard. And the porn world takes seriously these low expectations, routinely misspelling the names of its stars on its own boxcovers. To say that director Joe Gallant is a smart guy, then, is to add an unstable element to [...]
