I Am the Last American Male (Not Into Anal)

OK, that's a slight exaggeration, in that I have nothing against it, really. It's just not my first choice, and not even my third or fourth. If the person I'm with wants to have anal sex, I'll probably go along with it. Even if she wants me to be on the receiving end (I've taken a good pegging in the past more than once).

But for the love of all that is kinky, what is it with the preoccupation in porn these days with all things anal? I went to rent a porn DVD a few nights ago. Haven't had any new porn in quite a while. It took forever to pick one out. Part of the reason for that was the local video store had re-done the way they handle adult DVDs. (They used to provide opaque black bags for you to put them in before bringing them to the counter, so that casual shoppers in the family part of the store didn't have to see the cover of Cock Gobblers 18. I guess not enough people followed this rule, so they now have a plain blue box beside the real box. So once you pick a flick, you still have to see if you can find the blue box.) Almost every disc I wanted was apparently checked-out. But part of the reason was that there just wasn't that many different choices. Oh, there were hundreds of different discs, just not that much choice.

(At this point, I start getting explicit. I also review the one disc I finally settled on.)

It is an exaggeration to say that all the discs were anal-themed. Not much of one, but an exaggeration all the same. But even those that weren't outright titled as such, I could be sure would be full of the bangin' of the ass. What is the overwhelming fascination with this? In this day and age, I find it hard to think that anal sex is really that much of a remaining taboo. Hell, kids in high school are using it as birth-control, blissfully unaware of the other health risks it brings with it.

Oh, and speaking of health risks, who decided that "ATM" (Ass-to-Mouth) was going to be the new "in" thing? Is this some sort of degradation/humiliation fantasy thing? Maybe it's a way of saying, "I own this person-- she'll do anything I want her to!" But in an industry that is so keenly-aware of the risks of disease, can that many people really be unaware of how dangerous this is?

I'm not talking about scenes blocked or cut to look like the guy is taking his dick right from her ass and sticking it in her mouth. I'm talking about scenes that have no cuts in them, where it is clearly happening. And not just that-- alternating the cock between the ass and the vagina repeatedly, too. Are these girls that gullible, that they weren't worried about the infections this could lead to?

This isn't just a random screed, here. I did in fact come home with a DVD, one called "Women of Color #9". It featured a woman on the cover called "Sativa Rose", and from the back it looked like she would be fun to watch. And the other women looked promising, too.

Before I get too tangential, let me point out the good:

• The women were all very real-looking. No enhancements. Not a single fake boob to be found.
• The first scene was a threesome with two women. It started out with just the two of them, and that part was amazing. They kissed passionately and deeply, not the tip-of-the-tongue wagging that you usually see. When they were going down on each other, they were going down, with enthusiasm. When the man joined in, they double-teamed sucking him, including a lot of sloppy kissing around the head and shaft of his cock. The scene was just plain hot.
• The selection of women was good-- a nice mix of Latinas and blacks. Before viewing, I was under the impression Sativa Rose was probably Indian (with a name like Sativa), but she's Mexican. So rather than getting three ethnicities, I got the two (though the last girl claimed to be half-Japanese, half-Panamanian, so not sure where to categorize her). All of them were cute, and in keeping with the "real" look, all of them were people I felt like I had a reasonable chance of chatting up in a bar, should I happen across any of them.
• The enthusiasm behind the sex was very convincing. Everyone seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves, especially the two women in the first scene.
  

But as good as all of that was, every scene had some degree of ATM in it. The worst had to be the last scene, with an actress called Keanni Lei. She was doing a 3-way with two men. At one point, when one guy pulled out of her ass and moved up so she could suck him, she said, "I love the taste of my ass." You know, maybe you truly do... but I sure wouldn't want to kiss you afterwards. And she was one of the cutest of the bunch. Certainly the most wholesome-looking. You can never guess, these days!

And to ice the cake, all the sex was bareback. This isn't an old video from the 80's, recently re-mastered onto DVD. This is so new that most of the adult-oriented online rental shops don't even have it in their catalogs, yet. PEOPLE! No matter how recent your HIV test is, unsafe sex in porn just is not cool. As hot as the action was, I couldn't detach myself from this last point. I cannot in good conscience recommend this video to anyone. I don't know if this is usual practice for the production house, Anabolic, or not. But I don't feel very inclined to check out more of their product to see.
