I have seen a few extreme movies(from my pov)i have seen Max Hardcore movies and not been into his films,i have watched loads of 666 John Thompson piss movies and consider that extreme and i enjoy watching them,But they sit alongside my porn collection that features everything from Jules Jordan to AlexD i also enjoyed the Hellfire sex movies and to watch Melissa Lauren,Sandra Romain and Julie Nite roughing up each other was great so yes i enjoy some extreme titles.On the other hand i have dipped by big toe into the pussy pump genre lol (no laughing at the back please)and reviewed a title that could be considered extreme..review coming soon,this was my final thoughts on it. Well that was my first pussy pump title,i am now officially out of control the next step is sniffing glue lol.This title had it all,from the lavish settings to the badly dubbed English voice overs to the fantastic anal sex scenes and that saxaphone music lol,pussy pumping,nipple pumps,penis pumping to kebab induced lips.There was face fucking,gagging,light slapping and spit play,toys,gaping,a speculum scene,i think only one scene had vag sex. The first 3 scenes were great the girls were hot and if you like hard anal action and you like a laugh thrown in then the old gammon flaps getting pumped up will have you shouting out wtf.This is one for all the family to sit down and enjoy,forget charades for some bonding time with the family just hold up this title and shout out "Pussy pumping anyone" and watch them eat up all there vegetables and rush to get the best seat at the television.This was like watching 3 or 4 movies in the one,give pussy pumping a try or your money back.lol
If im not mistaken "extreme hardcore" porn has been around for a couple decades, and up until about four or five years ago, the coined reference had always been a term more depictive of extreme "explicitness", rather than "abuse". The female talent as a whole, had always been afforded, and shown considerable care, and while the actual sex that took place may have been more physically demanding, if not arguably brutal at times, with its oldschool anal poundings, there was still a policy of gentleness, that was practiced, and widely respected throughout the profession. Less enjoyable to perform? Perhaps, but from my perspective, there was simply less BS that got in the way. Perhaps it marked the End of Innocence for Porn, but whatever the case, to the delight of a seemingly broad base of fans, along with a solid percentage of the performing talent, the kid gloves came off. The arrival of the edgier, rough style approach was ushered in, by way of a surprisingly unified, industry wide sanctioning, and granting of two significant new liberties to the male talent. One was their voice. and the other was their new interactive behavior. Both of which had previously been, virtually non-existent. Thing is, most act as if there was never much of a separation of the "rough" style, and its preceeding version prior, but there was once an undeniable distinction between the two, and most any pornshop owner made sure of it. Any titles hinting at rough behavior, were commonly grouped together, and filed under "S&M", or DOM, with a surprising degree of diligence. Its interesting how it crawled into the mainstream, quietly, under the guise of "extreme", rather than heralding its own distinctive call sign. This, particularly when every other subjective gradient to come down the pike, has trumpeted its arrival with its own personalized calling card. Creampies, POV, Milfs, reality, Big Ass. There have been a few titles, denoting the rough theme, but most seem to have appeared well after the infiltration period. Personally, my only beef with it, is the role has created an in picture director. One generally with attitude, that given the option, I'd prefer not hear. A role that appears to have been cut, directly out of the anal content, that I once paid to see, and enjoyed. Now, instead of uninterrupted anal fucking, I find a consistent appearance of more ATM, vag fucking, and male voiced direction. Edited by - Endless Loop on 1/27/2009 8:56:19 AM

"If a just turned 18 girl is abused on set its extreme porn." That's not porn. That's assault and there are laws against it.
No if she's legal, consenting and wants to be abused that is not extreme porn or assault.

If she's legal and consenting, then it's not abuse. It might be PLAYING at being abusive, but it's not abuse.

It's not abuse or assault at all, it's fantasy and entertainment. Regardless of whether she likes the double anal, skull fucking, etc or not, it's not abuse. She is an entertainer and is entertaining us by fulfilling all of the viewing public's fantasies. Starring in a Max film is the equivalent of an unknown actress starring in a "Saw" "Hostel" or "Friday the 13th" movie. She may or may not go on to bigger things. Lots of porn girls have done a Max shoot more than once and gone onto bigger and better. Edited by - knuckle kids on 1/27/2009 3:39:51 PM
"Regardless of whether she likes the double anal, skull fucking, etc or not, it's not abuse." I'm not talking about her liking or disliking something... I'm talking about consent. If there's consent, then yes, it's fantasy... If there's no consent, then it's assault. If someone consents to do something they don't like, well, that's their own damn problem.... That's between them, their bank account, and their conscience...
1. Question - How is the viewer supposed to know whether or not that occurred if he or she doesn't see it happen? 2. So. If a man takes a woman out for drinks, they go back to his place and he pulls his dick out, it's abuse? 3. I agree that the people involved should all understand one another going in and there shouldn't be any nasty surprises. But you are speaking in absolute terms and I think that's ridiculous. Edited by - randomprecision on 1/28/2009 1:36:41 AM
Well said. So why are we even talking about it as if it weren't consensual? The only thing I don't entirely agree on is the term abuse. Technically it is even if they consent, but who the hell cares? Everyone wins because everyone enjoys themselves in their own way (performers and viewers).

Someone under the influence is not legally capable of informed consent, so yes, it is abuse. Different places have different definitions of "Under The Influence".Depends if she's intoxicated or not.... Either way, taking the situation as read, it's a pretty uncouth move...

Juga - please send me some of whatever you are smoking.... But let me try to understand. I think this is what you are trying to say: "don't fantasize about anything that could result in someone making a DVD of the fantasy AND, in the making of this DVD, any of the performers could be put into any type of duress irrespective of the 'social acceptance' of the act in question (so, for example, 'two girls one cup' is much less socially acceptable than a 'kiss on the cheek', BUT if the woman who had to give a kiss on the cheek was put into duress in having to produce this act then, in fact, the kiss becomes EXTREME PORN!)"
That's a very strange way of defining what's extreme. Some performers seem to genuinely enjoy working for Kink, not feeling degraded or genuinely hurt even when they're chained up and whipped. Does that mean that such scenes don't count as "extreme"? On the other hand, there are a soft core models who've describing simply posing in the nude as extremely degrading and damaging. For example, the hardest porn Sarah Katherine Lewis (the anti-porn "former porn performer" who appeared in The Price of Pleasure) ever did was a couple of solo masturbation scenes. Do her feelings somehow make those scenes "extreme"?
No you just want to force your own views what extreme porn is. Are you a bible basher? Can't accept people want to do things you feel are "wrong" but still perfectly legal?
Extreme sex, such as gaping anals, DP's, and no-holes-barred gang-bangs I do like to watch as long as the lady appears to be a willing participant in it. But violence and sex together I don't like to watch. Because the violence often makes it look like the lady isn't a willing participant. Which is against my moral and ethical standards.

Moral standards just don't apply to porn, or even to art in general. The foundations of evolving moral systems rest on a complex process that sustains and preserves the human species. This is a dynamic process that drives the creation of moral and ethical standards. Every human action inspires a corresponding reaction whether subtle in nature or violent. Some people are more emotionally reactive than others. Emotions can get out of control if not regulated by laws, customs, moral codes, professional codes and even the rules of etiquette. Rules are a stabilizing force that enhance the survivability of individuals, families and nations. Mathematically, the initial point* evident in human behavior is the survival of the species. It is defined and redefined in many ways, such as a concern for public safety. The complexity of this process cannot be understated, and it is best described by cybernetic science. There is a considerable difference between the static term "moral standards" and the cybernetic process that creates them. A basic understanding of this process can be conveyed through a series of illustrations: For example, the evolution of traffic laws demonstrates the creation of standards of vehicular conduct directly related to public safety. Public safety itself is dedicated to increasing human survival on the highways. If an action on the highway consistently leads to unnecessary pain, suffering and death, it is an action discouraged by new rules and regulations designed to prohibit it. Thus, by the destructive consequences of human actions, the notion of "right" and "wrong" evolves. The standards of vehicle codes integrate seamlessly into cultural morality as illustrated by the example of consuming alcohol while driving an automobile. Here, the standards of behavior are statistical in nature. The probability that any outcome will occur is ranked from the first standard deviation to the fourth. Some of the facts surrounding alcohol abuse go back thousands of years. Alcohol has long been known to have a profound affect on human thinking. The destructive tendencies alcohol motivates is compounded in multiples if you add the simultaneous emotions that, for example, come from the breakup of a romantic relationship—or stress from the workplace. Put job and family problems together with a fifth of 100-proof alcohol and a fast car traveling 10 miles across crowded city streets, and you have the formula for a very likely accident. This destructive behavior conflicts with a fundamental value—self-preservation—and the preservation of others in society. So in time, rules evolve to restrict drinking and driving. Every time there is a tragedy produced by alcohol abuse, it reinforces and perpetuates a long history of the moral sentiments and laws relating to the use of alcohol

Personally, I am not that much of a fan of hardcore to begin with because I always have a tinge of guilt that I might have gotten my jollies off of a scene wherein a girl got an STD. That is why I prefer fisting, baseball bat insertions, butt plugs, whips and cattleprods. It is more difficult to get an STD off of them. That being said, I don't think males who like extreme hardcore are misogynistic. For one thing, the girls in those scenes actually volunteered to do them, so it is something they like. When I think of misogyny, things like pay inequality and culturally mandated suffering (high heels, breast enhancements) come more readily to mind. Now, I am most emphatically not saying anything against any particular performer who has chosen to get augmentations. That is their choice and not mine. What I am condemning is the culture wherein "beautiful=big, fake breasts" is so infused that women, whether they realize it or not, feel that they have to comply with this cultural mandate.
But doesn't making a fantasy dangerous stimulate a person? As far as "unhealthy" what do you mean by that? I'm just curious, and I'm not trying to hack your post.
I do not imagine anally destroying anybody nor am I into "underage girls." I do love anal sex and I love to make a woman's ass gape, it is really fun to me and to her. When a woman's ass gapes that means (to me) that she is enjoying it and relaxed.
I think you'd be amazed at what some people enjoy. I'm amazed everyday. I didn't mean to rip you at all SunShowers, I really enjoy your input. I have enjoyed everybodies input on this thread, What I don't understand is the "What makes your opinions better than anybody elses" idea. There seems to be a certain amount of "guilt" associated with some posts concerning liking "extreme" hardcore.
^ The entire point of Max Hardcore's movies is to foster the fantasy of sex with underage girls. It's not just the costumes and make-up, but all of the dialog is also centred around the girl being underage. Is that somehow different from liking underage girls? I would take your statement a step further (and at the same time, a step back). If you like underage girls, then you like underage girls. See a therapist? Why? They probably won't be able to do anything for you, if all the current research about pedophilia is correct. But don't watch Max Hardcore movies, because that certainly won't help your situation.

Comparing consensual sex to genocide and serial murder (excuse me for saying it) is pretty silly. You lose all credibility right off the bat when you say this. Edited by - randomprecision on 1/30/2009 9:41:35 AM
I don't think it's strange, perhaps unfamiliar. Audiences are more used to approach entertainment from their own point of view. When gladiators fought to the death in an amphitheatre in Rome the audience was excited. But was it good entertainment? How did the people who were killed for entertainment feel about it? I think I made my point with my very first post in this thread. If the performer only agreed to do the scene because she desperately needed the cash then it is extreme. If she is pushed to do more than she agreed to then it's even more extreme. It is not the sexual act that defines extreme, it is the situation and the performer's perception.
Absolutely. And I'm sure some strange guys got off of the idea that she felt degraded.
^From the audiences perspective your definition of "extreme porn" is virtually meaningless. How can a viewer possibly tell whether the porn they're watching is "extreme" or not? It's not a label that someone can apply to a scene without knowing the thoughts of every performer in it.
"Comparing consensual sex to genocide and serial murder (excuse me for saying it) is pretty silly. You lose all credibility right off the bat when you say this." Not really. I think genocide and serial murder are despicable and motivated by mental sickness. I also think Max Hardcore-type sex is despicable and motivated by mental sickness. They're all three negative things that, as I said in the OP, bother me by existing. I was making a point. And I think you're smart enough to understand that point without my having to explain it to you.
"Is that somehow different from liking underage girls? I would take your statement a step further (and at the same time, a step back). If you like underage girls, then you like underage girls. See a therapist? Why? They probably won't be able to do anything for you, if all the current research about pedophilia is correct. But don't watch Max Hardcore movies, because that certainly won't help your situation." Yes. Perfectomundo!
lol, I thought this post died. Anyway from reading the responses, it's exactly what I expected, a few people attacking people who love hardcore porn as Pastors, a couple of people whom falls in the middle, and a couple people seeing it as no different than liking anal sex.
I'm not much of psychiatrist but I'm pretty sure liking a certain type of sex is not a mental sickness. I love 'Jackass' does that mean that I have a mental illness, because I take pleasure in watching those guys do stunts that hurts them?
Max Hardcore type sex is not genocide or serial murder even if it may be despicable and/or motivated by mental sickness. It's just sex! You are comparing a dick sliding in and out of an asshole with Adolf Hitler and Ted Bundy. Do you not see a slight disparity there?
Well I don't see it. Maybe it bothers you that it exists. That, by no means, gives you any right to dictate to others what they should watch. There needs to be a real reason for any kind of censorship and not "Oh, well, it just upsets me that it exists!". Do you have any idea what kind of a world we have if we banned everything that upsets someone?
Well, I just don't see your point. Maybe I'm just stupid but a Max Hardcore scene never made me think about Ted Bundy or Jeffry Dahmer. The ones I saw made me wonder a bit about Max but I didn't see genocide. I saw butt sex and a whole lot of puking. Since continuous puking and simulated pedophilia isn't my cup of tea, I didn't get any more Max flicks and was more or less free of him. Until I had to defend him online because others simply couldn't do what I did. Edited by - randomprecision on 1/31/2009 8:18:06 AM
"That, by no means, gives you any right to dictate to others what they should watch."
YET AGAIN, I repeat that I never said ANYTHING about keeping people from watching this type of porn. I think it's creepy that there are so many people trying to trivialize this type of porn. I'm not saying you're one of them, Random Precision. I just don't get the mentality of those people. It would be one thing if they would simply say, "Yeah, we're fucked up, we like dehumanizing women, we deviate from normal sexual behavior, and our actions are probably putting negativity into the world." Instead, most of them put on as if all they're doing is indulging a fantasy. Some even claim they're making "art." One of them even goes to extremes to assert what a "nice, normal guy" he is in reality, how he has very normal relationships with women. Please. No one is ever going to convince me that what Max Hardcore or Khan Tusion or whoever does is ok within any realm. I don't believe I can keep other people from watching this type of soul cancer, but I'm not going to pretend like all it is is original, pioneering porn. It's fucked up, it's bad for human beings, and it's indicative of something seriously rotten in some of us. People have fantasies, but not all of them are healthy or normal for a human being to entertain. Even if one never acts outside of fantasy, he is still setting seeds in himself. And this is where the argument gets murky, because it involves individual ideas about the human soul and God. How far do sexual tendencies such as these extend? Before anyone jumps in with a "then don't watch it," I DON'T watch it. The OP asked for insight into the two sides, I gave mine.
You'll have to excuse me if I make too many assumptions or the wrong assumptions about your arguments because all I know about you is what I read and unfortunately, sometimes I shoot off my mouth without researching a person's posting history. The problem is that I've had these kinds of discussions with so many people who have similar opinions to yours and I'm as guilty as anyone of jumping to conclusions sometimes. I just see it and think "Here we go again!". Seriously. Do a search on "Max Hardcore" from the beginning of the forum and you'll see why people get touchy about it. It seems like we have a "Max" debate every couple of weeks or so.
I don't know what else I'm supposed to do about it. It appears to be consensual even if it isn't my thing. It can never be a bigger deal to me than it is to the people who were directly involved. If they didn't/don't feel as strongly about it as you apparently do, what more can be said by casual fans who don't really know anything? We know the government watches the industry. And we also know they watch guys like Max probably more closely than anyone. We might reasonably conclude that if there was ANY real question of consent, he'd have been taken down for it a long time ago. Do you think that's an unreasonable assumption?
The problem is that none of that is against the law and if we were to make it against the law, it would undermine everything. If a woman can't choose to work with Max, how can she choose to work with anyone else? You can always say something bad about porn or pornographers. You can always say it causes some kind of harm to the people who participate in it. And you might even be right. Where do you go from there? If Max can't say "This bitch is a stupid fuckhole!", I worry what's next. I think it's pretty awful to treat a woman that way unless I know for sure she gets off on it but she did sign up for it as far as I know. It's pretty apparent that the women at least tolerate it. Who are we to make any judgments beyond that?
Well, I've seen stuff made by both of them and the problem is they are obviously trying to make themselves look as abusive and/or extreme as possible. Apparently, that's what they feel their customers want. I really don't know more than that. From what I've seen and read about Max, I think he's probably delusional. I think he really is as sick as he appears to be. I'm not as sure about Khan Tusion but I don't like him. Beyond the fact that he does the abusive act (I'm just assuming it's an act, just to give him the benefit of the doubt because I've seen very little of his stuff), he is annoying, has stupid ideas for his scenes and won't shut up. However, it is possible that there could be someone like Max who was just putting on an act. I don't know what you mean when you say that nobody will convince you that it's "OK". They don't ask us for our permission. If Max had ever asked anywhere where I was posting, I would have advised him to make ordinary porn. Whether I think it's OK or not is not even going to factor into the thought process of someone like him. Also, I believe you said in an earlier post that you don't think it's possible that a woman could get off on this. I really have a problem with that statement because I don't think you could ever possibly know that. You can only ever speak for yourself. I'm certainly not under any illusions that probably the majority of Max's female costars didn't get off on any of it. But then, the majority of porn stars don't get off on what they do in anything. I don't know. It just gets really blurry when you think about it unemotionally.
Here's what I think you don't understand. The kind of people who really have those opinions of women were like that before they ever knew Max existed. Watching porn doesn't change people. Not that much, anyway. If a person is a jerk, they're gonna be a jerk one way or another. Now this is people who are true believers. People who say they really feel that way about women and especially women who do porn. There are others who say it turns them on as a fantasy. Now I don't know what to make of that but I have no choice but to take them at their word, not knowing anything else about most of them. I believe you're right about something. There is something on a very basic level in all of us that craves depravity at times. The problem with the people you're talking about is they completely gave themselves over to it and are proud of it. They want to disturb you with their darkness and their ugliness. These people always existed.
OK. But what? How are you going to prevent people from having fantasies that you think are abnormal and unhealthy? You can't. Noone can. And I hesitate to say whether anyone should try. You can say what you think (and you have) but I doubt that's going to have people unthinking their fantasies. I think people know what's right and wrong in the real world. Those who don't? Well, there's always them. If they choose to do something that harms someone, they'll pay the price and it will be one less you have to worry about. My main point is that those people will be there one way or another. Max didn't create anyone other than his own persona. Anyway, I understand you're just stating an opinion.

People do things they don't necessarily want to do for cash all the time. I don't know too many people who sincerely WANT to be janitors, ditch diggers, garbage men or factory workers, but the pay is good and dignity doesn't keep food on the table. Elevating pornography over any other job is part of the problem with having these types of conversations. I do things at my job that I don't want to do all the time. Yes, I could quit whenever I got ready to, but NV Energy wants their money every month, as does my landlord.
This is what I don't understand about the whole thing. Why is it different when it's sex? Or, a better question might be to wonder how far you take this? I've never known anyone who was in love with their job after a certain honeymoon period. Nobody. In fact, I've known some people whose jobs contributed significantly to their mental deterioration. These were just ordinary jobs. So why is sex different? I've never heard anyone adequately explain that.
I appreciate your viewpoint, Random Precision. I simply don't have anything else to say. There's no will in me to control other people. If someone wants to watch that kind of porn, they can and will watch it. But I have judgements about the people who like it and the people who make it. The OP asked, I responded. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. And I see that this isn't a revolutionary discussion for Adult DVD Talk. We're probably beating a dead horse at this point. As to me "dictating" what is normal sexual behavior, I guess you could say that anyone who has an opinion is "dictating." If I say "chocolate ice cream has a superior taste to vanilla," am I dictating? And if so, then why is that kind of opinion more acceptable than an opinion on porn? Just why are we so sensitive about our porn preferences? Could it be because we're afraid of what they say about us?
Yes, moral standards don't apply to inanimate objects. Moral standards apply only to people and their voluntary behavior. Which is why I won't watch any porn where the lady appears to be an unwilling participant. Violation of someone's rights and freedoms is against my moral standards, which I apply to my own behavior and choice. And watching someone else violate my moral standards is not something I can enjoy.
Good question. Although the most obvious answer to that question would be "yes" it still isn't the final answer. This delicate matter is perfect example of the fact that moral and legal restrictions are NOT universal and you should'nt use them to evaluate one's mental health. Simple example on the matter. AFAIK it would be illegal in any US state for an adult male to have sex with 14-old girl. Not to mention immoral in public view. I would assume that a grown male publicly expressing his wish to have sexual intercourse with 14-year old would be considered to be mentally sick to some degree. On the other hand such behaviour is both legal and mostly morally acceptable in many European countries. See the list yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe . So for an example a 21-year guy having a sexually active 14-year old girlfriend would not be considered to have some kind of mental disorder. I personally can't understand a desire to have girl so much younger (actually my GF is couple of years older than me) but that's my problem, not their. Anyway. If the guy from our example would take a 10-hour plane trip from, let's say, Germany to United States, would he become mentally sick during this trip? And be magically healed on the way back? All the above is just illustration of the fact that there is no universal moral truth. So I would have to agree that no kind of sexual preferences could be used to evaluate person's mental health. Some preferences are likely to be deemed immoral or illegal by the local community but this is just a matter of group of people setting the rules for themselves and has nothing to do with mental sickness.

I think this debate will go on until the end of time, and I agree with you that there is no moral truth. I think a lot of the problem with trying to analyze this as a "sickness" has a lot to do with the APPEARANCE of the girl, and not her actual age. Case in point: A lot of these "barely legal" series get criticized because the actresses (who have reached the age of majority" appear to be "children" i.e. very thin, little or no pubic hair, small breasts etc. On the flip side, there are some very grown looking 14,15,16,17 year olds out there. Have sex with them in America and you're likely to go to prison. Is one sick for fantasizing about a teenager that looks like a grown woman, or sick for fantasizing about a grown woman that still looks like a "child?"
Reminds me of a (different) forum discussion some years ago regarding midget porn, regarding if people who like midget porn are actually desiring childporn because "short stature = childlike". Interesting connection.

Dude, you just blew my mind. I love internet philosophers. So tell me Socrates, at what age is it okay for you to fuck an underage girl? If moral and legal restrictions can't be used to evaluate one's mental health does that mean fucking a two-year-old is okay, how about fucking and raping? Edited by - BlackSix on 2/3/2009 2:01:08 AM
