From Friendship To Lust

This blog is generally filled with politics, legal news, and "straight" reviews of television and film. But, yes, there are a few posts about "adult films." Not too surprisingly, a lot of the limited hits are to these entries.

I think late nite films on cable -- I do not count fully explicit channels like Playboy and such here -- are slack these days.  There is a ton of shows, on a ton of platforms.  But, the Life on Top type show? Not so much from what I can see on HBO, Showtime, and so on.  Am I missing something? 

Soft porn films also seem of lesser quality.  No more Brandin Rackley-type spoofs like the quality of The Devil Wears Nada.  The Showtime "adult" collection includes a series (including Erotic Couture) of films with familiar faces -- an older actor who fills in speaker roles repeatedly pops up -- of cheap-looking products.  

In comparison, Erotic Eats -- which I talked about some months back -- is almost high quality. I find the beginning amusing -- the caterer has a "dramatic moment" when she is anguished to still be having sex dreams (including the opening scene) of her ex.  

Ditto Hot Honeymoon Surprise, a porn title obviously.  That involves a big-boobed woman with lots of makeup being stood up (after the guy makes sure to have one more "go at it") and meeting up with a newlywed couple (the woman is a bit less fake looking) at a resort.  The guy is a familiar face.  The hotel clerk -- a bit older these days -- might be familiar to some.  

Okay, so the title film, with the woman star pictured.  I can do with the hair not being so long.  She is cute enough, including teasing her friend early on by standing around nude in the bathroom.  The film cut also has her have basically the shortest shower you'd ever seen (she pops in and out of the shower).  The heavily tattooed neighbor [not a fan of heavy tattoos, but seems to be a major thing these days in porn] also looks familiar.  

Nothing too interesting overall though you see a quick bit of pubic hair in that bathroom scene (that honeymoon film also has a bit of the guy's butt, which also seems not to be a big thing in these things).  The film overall is fairly dull -- boring looking guy and a woman friend are new in town, go to a party, and we see the tattooed woman have sex with a guy (tattoo/creepy looking) and the woman.  The guy has sex with a fellow acting student (okay).  And, in the end, the friends ... well there is lust and stuff.  

I think the honeymoon film is sort of more interesting.  The level of the artificiality of the woman (including in her lace underwear) is amusing and there are actually tiny bits of plot that carry things along okay.  Check out that woman.  We are not talking full Jazy Berlin, but lol.

(The picture doesn't quite do her justice. Recognize the guy?)

But, we need better soft porn.  Let me not even get into Pornhub, which is rather boring.  As an NYT article argues, "sex is good," and so can porn. 

(There is also an open letter to NYT criticizing their trans coverage. This has led to the usual "stop reading them"! comments. Where do people get the level of the content found there?  I doubt all of the places do not have their own issues on some level.)
