This is crossposted from my blog, Waking Vixen. I couldn’t help but want to spread the word about good porn.

I watch a hell damn lot of porn. And after keeping this up for a few years, I feel pretty jaded by it all – even by the stuff I like. When I heard about Eon McKai’s Neu Wave Hookers, my first thought was “Oh! I can’t wait to see the packaging and design!” – immediately followed by “Packaging? Somebody kill me.” But whatever, I relish being turned on by sexy design. The point is that I often look past the (frequently unremarkable in-out) sex and have these thoughts about design and production values and stuff, and the sex becomes secondary.

I was jolted back into paying attention to the sex by two really amazing porn flicks Jane and I watched last weekend, movies that had me squirming in my seat within moments, grinning the stupid grin of good porn discoveries. And elbowing Jane in the boob and exclaiming – “Did you see that? So! Hot!” as if she couldn’t see for herself.

First up: Buck’s Beaver, by the ultra-awesome man with a pussy himself, Buck Angel. “THIS is motherfucking alt porn,” I declared to Jane while we were watching it. You can’t get more alt than a tattooed transman topping the man who is fucking his pussy and saying “Fuck it, bitch.” Scene by scene it’s a pretty damn hot movie, with lots of gender-bending, power play and plain old hot fucking. And - safer sex. Lots of it.

But it’s not just the fucking that’s hot in Buck’s film – he’s got a whole lotta sexual intelligence working for him. The sex scenes are interspersed with an interview, and Buck handles the questions so well, even when they get borderline offensive, like when the perplexed interviewer asks “So who is ‘the man’ in your sex life?” and he laughing responds, “I’m always a man!” Plus he smokes a cigar through the interview and during a lot of the movie (and even extinguishes it on a girl in the first scene – hot cha!).

This weekend he’s in Vegas with hordes of other porn folk, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for him because “Buck’s Beaver” is the first porn with a FTM in it that has been nominated for the AVN “Best Transsexual Release” award. Though I haven’t seen it yet, you might also check out “Allanah Star’s Big Boob Adventures,” in which Buck gets it on with a FTM.

Secondly, but no less awesome: At the behest of Cherry Bomb and Tony Comstock, I got myself a copy of The Crash Pad, a virgin venture by Pink and White Productions. It’s a pretty impressive production – a clever plot device has the whole film shot in one location, which is budgetal without being lame. Also, I love the lighting, which isn’t overly bright, but is atmospheric without obscuring the good parts. Blah, blah, blah – onto the fucking.

The thing about porno sex is that a lot of the time, it isn’t “real” sex – it needs to be done in a way that lets the camera in on the action and often includes retarded but athletic positions, is done on a schedule and often between partners without chemistry. Such is the business. But by golly, this movie has real sex in it. So much for lesbian bed death – the dykes in “The Crash Pad” really show how good sex is done. The performers’ bodies shine with sweat and you can almost smell the hot lesbian pheromones poring off of them. There’s lots of strap on play, enthusiastic tongues and fingers and real (and real powerful) orgasms. Two of the scenes have really impressive squirting in them – I mean, I have seen some impressive squirting in my day and holy bejesus that was good.

Both of these movies will make you happy in your pants – or at least in the area where your pants should be but won’t be, because your pants will come off super fast. Actually, go ahead and take your pants off now, in anticipation. Isn’t that be
