When Terrible Premises Collide
I'm very confident that my editor is beyond sick hearing me complain about the word interracial. But it has to be said. Saying interracial makes no more sense than pointing out that straight sex is intergender. Race should not make any kind of serious difference in porn, and there is way more to our preferences in who we like as talent beyond just race. Calling the mixing of races in any way controversial is taking us back a half century socially speaking. Let's grow up about this a bit, eh? What I have a bigger problem with is internal cumshots. Because they're always shot the same way. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, cum, and then they have the woman do this squat, hoping she leaks out, and having her probe herself with a finger to find the cum if it doesn't. It goes from anything erotic in the sex to something that would probably qualify for credits in medical school.
Ultimately, Jules Jordan does this better than most studios, but that isn't necessarily saying much. I rather like Nikki Sexx's scene, so I'll focus on that one for this film. Normally I don't have a thing for blondes, but Nikki has some dark pantyhose on (I'm powerless for that) and has great legs and a nice, curvy body. The tease sequence starts off rather oddly, with Nikki way up higher than we are. She's way off in the distance. Now Nikki's a bit closer, on the staircase, slowly working her way down to us. Now, after another fade edit, she's in front of us still doing the tease bit. She's a flexible one, getting the back of her leg straight up to her mouth. I don't like the crawling bit, though. There's something dehumanizing about it to me, and it's done so much, it really strikes me as one of the things in porn that needs to go.
We get close enough to see that she has a buttplug in, and we're right to modern porn cinematography, where the camera level never leaves the crotch when it is in view. Why do we do that, especially during a tease? Show us her entire body and I guarantee that you will increase the allure big time. Now Nikki's top has gone down, which is nice as she has rather nice, large breasts. But Nikki spreads her legs to play with herself, and again the camera goes right to crotch level. Ugh, this is so immature and unimaginative camera work. Then there's a guy just sitting there at the top of the stairs, and instead of going to her, he just waits there while she crawls to him. That's just the wrong way to do this. Misogyny is a word I'd hear thrown around with this kind of portrayal. I think I've been blinded by all of the precious metals on this dude's watch. Also, his pants are falling down, but not in the way they're supposed to. Also, the non-stop pimping of the XXX Life clothing line in every "interracial" film is getting a bit old. Somehow the camera work manages to be terrible during this sequence, just zooming at the wrong times and otherwise not getting what they should be getting. There's kind of a boring blowjob that gets going, the kind that is a bit obvious in porn as giving head because she's supposed to be giving head. Too much ball sucking by the way, and I hate ball sucking. But more than anything, there just isn't any heat to their interaction. There is some anal, so that's nice, but the action never quite gets to the point where they seem to be enjoying each other or performing all that hard. Also, the camera is still always, always at crotch level and nowhere else. That should be done so much better than that. And then there's the internal cumshot squat.
Look, I've seen far worse in this, but I'm just not a fan of the internal cumshot films, and I think highlighting race the way it is so often done in porn is simply insulting. We need to be better with the social elements of porn if we ever want to be anything other than an embarrassment in mainstream culture.
