I'm betting that it will be a hit, but not because of its title; American Ass is not that original, even though it's probably perfect for it. And not because of the relatively new distributor, Fusxion (FEW'-shun?) although it's most likely that whoever's running it is probably an experienced player in the game.
I'm betting on a guy that's been performing for a few years, but never made any waves on the set. And although I directed him several times, he was never known for any slick acting skills, but always showed up on time to slug it out until he patiently got his dialogue down. I don't think he considers himself as some stunning knockout, but every woman he worked with -- whether she knew him or not -- always came away feeling good about herself and her performance. When he fucks for the camera, I've never seen him degrade or physically abuse any woman.
I'm betting on this quiet, confident professional that takes neither headlines nor prisoners. He's Pat Myne.
He's the director of this new all-anal slammer that ships tomorrow; and if he shoots his stuff the way he likes to perform, it's most likely to reward its users with simple and consistent ingredients of hot-looking women and the men who truly know how to fuck like warriors.
Now I'm not bringing this up because I've always liked Pat and respected his work; he doesn't need me or anyone else to do that.
But I'm using this new all-anal line as another example to comment about a recent topic that's stirring up a lot of reactions on Adult DVD Talk: "Why is There so Much Anal Sex in Porn?"
As readers probably know by now, I use this site very frequently for things to write about, because so many of its contributors share more passion and know more about this business than most of the pros in the game today.
Of course the reactions to this topic of "so much" or "too much" ranges from complete agreement to total disagreement with its author, "Canadian Girl"; it's for this very reason that so many of us take notice; and begin to wonder more just why this it true. There are probably more porn vids that feature anal sex exclusively than ever before; and this trend seems to be growing.
Over a year ago, I wrote an article on a similar topic concerning anal sex scenes, and I suggested that its popularity was a result of both the men and women hired to perform in these scenes would stop performing and become more real and honest with each other once the guy's dick got up in her ass.
What I was sensing at the time, was that too many performers were trivializing their sex acts on camera; perhaps even wanting to conceal their feelings and not wanting to become intimate around a bunch of people standing around with their clothes on. Intimacy's a real bitch at times because it's a higher definition of trust that can't be faked.
But now, fuck, I don't know if this is what compels the user to become so fascinated with watching anal sex in porn. It's probably just as likely that the bigger reason is another thought that the best porn to watch is not what we do, or even want to do, but what we only want to watch.
But I think we all have to agree that most people on the planet don't fuck each other up the ass on a regular basis, and it's still a "no-no" in most, if not all cultures.
What I'm beginning to sense now, is that there's so much porn, with either some, none or all anal sex, that many users have become so desensitized from it, that it's not giving them that kind of previous rewarding experience that once compelled them to return to it as frequently as before. It's also why I think there's been an increase in the kind of violent, or degrading, or multiple cocks in the ass, stuff that's getting shipped to the stores and found on the Internet.
And even this kind of stuff isn't likely to remain all that successful, because in the long run, it too, lacks what truly compels users to return to it; it's meaningless.
I think guys like Pat Myne and other directors who used to earn their livings by fucking on camera will sustain both the end users and themselves just by shooting what personally works for them while being easily identified with those end users who identified with their performances.
But ultimately, I'm becoming even more convinced that there will only be two kinds of porn that will endure the longest. And the reasons are because there will be very few of them available because both will be too hard to do.
One will be the kind that's not only sexually erotic, it will be also be so entertaining that the user will not realize that his viewing limits were celebrated instead of challenged.
And I think the other will be the kind that's never shared by its users. The porn that's never confessed to watching is what will compel the viewer to use it over and over again.
And that's something we'll never know.
