Penetration #2

"Penetration #2" is collaboration between American video company, Anabolic, and veteran European director, Christoph Clark. It was shot in Europe, specifically what looks like Paris. Given their previous histories, the expectation is that this DVD should have major appeal to the raincoat crowd: Nasty, hard-driving sex with unknown sluts performing gross-out acts. Unfortunately, this video will disappoint that target audience.

There are seven credited scenes (more about that later) with the requisite unknown Euro-babes, but only three are even moderately exciting on any scale - and in the world of Anabolic Video "moderate" is not the word they want associated with their product. "Extreme", "volcanic" and "explosive" are the words that these boys want used in connection with their material. But, this DVD just doesn't deliver those goods.

The DVD opener is actually the best scene of the video: It is a two guy, one girl scene. Ana, a brunette with natural breasts and well-toned body, is only about as pretty as the girls who work at your local Starbucks, though her face may remind porn fans of the 1990s French porn performer, Channone. Anyway, Ana has the most sex/star appeal of any of the women in this video. The two guys, who are handsome (a plus for any female viewers) and are in very good shape, apparently only work in scenes as a "pair". They come back together for a two-on-one scene with Victoria, and in the group finale with Nadia and Daniella.

In the opener, Ana jumps right into the action with the two guys. She services both guys, singularly and together, with the smaller-sized guy pounding her ass. They go through every position, including several variations of double-penetration, but the action seems "directed". You can almost hear Clark saying "switch" in the background. In short, there is no "emotional heat" in this scene; and since all of the performers are unknowns, there is no "star fantasy" that can be substituted for this lack of natural heat. By the time Ana takes a double facial, the scene has taken on a strangely "mechanical" feel to it.

Another good scene is the group finale with "Nadia" and "Daniella". This scene begins with the long-legged brunette, Daniella, coming into a room with three guys, including the two guys from the first scene with Ana. The guys take turns getting sucked and fucked on a brass bed, with the girl usually having a dick in her mouth and pussy at the same time. After a short time, another leggy brunette, Nadia, comes into the room and watches from the sidelines while Daniella makes like Ginger Lynn with a triple penetration: Dicks in her pussy, ass and mouth. This gets Nadia hot, so she disrobes and begins to play with herself, with Clark giving her instructions from off-camera. There's a quick cut, and now Nadia is being DP'd on the bed, while Daniella is fucking the extra guy in the missionary position beside her. From this point onward, the pairings change frequently, with each girl taking a pounding in the ass from several positions (cowgirl, standing doggie, etc.) The scene ends with Daniella taking a double facial and Nadia catching the last guy's cum in her face.

The five other (credited) scenes (starring Julia, Viki, Nikoletta and Victoria) are so/so. Victoria is a leggy redhead, who does one scene with director Clark and another in a limo. The limo scene is a quickie before the finale, and is mostly her giving a guy a blowjob. The scene with Clark is more detailed, beginning with her masturbating on a bed before fucking the director. Victoria has a small, but shapely, ass, which the camera drools over. After some pussy/ass fingering by Clark, he lubes her ass with his mouth, and she sucks him off. For a guy in his late thirties or early forties, Clark is in excellent shape, and unlike some directors who insist in getting in on the action, Clark's performance, while not explosive, is credible. The scene ends after several anal position fucks and a facial.

The Julia, Viki and Nikoletta scenes are run-of-the-mill boy/girl scenes. In the Julia scene, the action is so tepid that, after the guy has come in her face and left, Clark steps into the scene for sloppy seconds - fucking her in the ass, which the male performer has neglected to do. Julia seems to enjoy this, taking his dick directly from her ass and sucking him. They finish the scene with a facial after a missionary fuck.

Next, there is an uncredited return of Ana, who was in the first scene. This time she does a one-on-one with director Clark (this guy really reaps the benefits of being a porn director) that is very good. She does some excellent cock sucking, and there is a beautiful shot of her sitting on him (reverse cowgirl). He also fucks her ass from several positions. The camera work in this scene is the best on the DVD.

The problem with this DVD, as suggested above, is that Anabolic (and most Euro-porn) DVDs tend to attract the rough-rider, raincoat crowd. This DVD will not appeal to them. The action is not rough enough; there is little emotion in the performances; and there is no humiliation or degrading/gross-out activity (Maybe there is in the European version?). So, if you're part of that target audience, "Penetration #2" will have as little appeal for you as a Vivid "couples" video. Finally, the "B" side of this DVD contains previews of a number of Anabolic's other features.
