Image of Sex

This is a solid porno movie, but nothing really special. We only get to see boy girl scenes in this one. There is a total of 5 scenes were Eva Angelina, Tiffany Hopkins, Missy Monroe, Taryn Thomas and Randy Wright take on one guy each. The sex in this movie isn't that rough. For example we don't even get to see any of the girls take it up their ass. But one thing is got to be said, and that's that all of these girls are really great moaners. All the girls moan like they are really horny and we even get some dirty talk, mostly from Taryn.

The best scene is definitely the scene with Eva Angelina. I haven't seen that many scenes with Eva, but every scene I've seen with her has been really great. This girl is born to do porn. She's hot as hell, has both a really good looking face and body, and she has great energy in her scenes. Eva is also the porn star that looks the best with huge implants. Her body just looks better with huge tits. In this scene we get to see Eva take on Steve Holmes and his huge cock. What's really nice about this film is that we also get to see the guys give the women oral pleasure. Nowadays there isn't enough scenes were the girl gets her pussy eaten. More often than not we only see the women suck the cock and then get rammed in the pussy and ass in a boy girl scene. Here Steve gives Eva a good lick before she sucks his prick. Now I haven't seen too many of Eva's scenes, but to me Eva doesn't give that "spectacular" head. She gives OK head, don't get me wrong, but to me Eva seems like the girl that should give "spectacular" head. Well, I should really see more of her movies before I make up my mind. One thing is sure and that is that this girl really enjoys getting her pussy pounded by a large penis. Eva has a really good facial expression when she gets stuffed by a big sausage and her moan is spectacular. She also uses her body in a good way when she has sex. Too bad we only get to see her from behind in the cowgirl position. A reverse cowgirl position would've also been nice to see. I can't wait to see more scenes with this firecracker.

It's funny to see Tiffany Hopkins and Missy Monroe in average boy girl scenes with no anal sex what so ever. These girls do their best work in the really rough scenes were they get two large penises or more to work with at once. I'm not really satisfied with seeing these girls with only one guy because I'm so used to seeing them in really hard DP action. However, both scenes are quite good. But if you compare Tiffany's scene to her boy girl scene in "Private XXX 23" you get to see her real potential. In that scene Tiffany and the guy have rough looking sex in all kinds of crazy positions. So it's safe to say that her scene could've been better. What I missed from Missy's scene was that there wasn't any cumshot. The cumshot was probably internal, but it wasn't shown and that is a real bummer. The cumshot should always bee shown. If it's internal, then I want to see a shot of the cock pumping cum into the pussy and then a shot of the cum dripping out of the pussy! The scene with Taryn Thomas was also a quite good one. Taryn got a good pounding and she moaned good. What more can you ask for? The last scene with Randy Wright started out quite slow. At first it didn't seem like Randy was a good moaner, but as the scene progressed she started moaning more and more. At the end of the scene when Randy got rammed from behind she even demanded that the guy should "fuck" her harder a couple of times. Randy also looked really good in the reverse cowgirl position in this scene.

All in all this is a solid porno but nothing great. We get the quality chicks but the sex scenes should have been more intense and diverse.

If your interest tends to the current "hot sex scene is all" gonzo porn mentality, the previous blow-by-blow IMDb review will suffice. But if you are a film buff searching for nuggets of quality in a dwindling Adult Entertainment universe, I need to inform you of the inadequacy of "Image of Sex".

Even within the industry, in tatters though it may be with the onset of internet content (often for free) and streaming as the delivery mode de jour, there remains a distinction between "features" and "all-sex". Every BTS on a feature has the participants commenting on the differences, in performing, posing unnaturally for the camera angles, stop & start, etc.

I have enjoyed many of Jerome Tanner's features, but for this one he unwisely is working from a Cash Markman script. The prolific Cash is coming under my scrutiny simply because he has so many published (i.e., released videos) scripts making his work inescapable, and so far for me his batting average is near zero.

For this one he conjured up an idea, or at least a germ of one, that had me thinking of Aldous Huxley in the opening reel. Channel 6 is inaugurating a new subscription TV system that will permit its viewers to actually "feel" the action in the porn it broadcasts. This is analogous to Huxley's projection in "Brave New World" of "feelies", the new entertainment form where the viewer gets more of a sensory experience. In the real world the upcoming Virtual Reality entertainment revolution promises some of the same, but clearly falls short.

Tanner's execution of this Markman idea turns out to be wholly uninteresting, and insulting. The TV narrator (a poor man's response to "Outer Limits"' classic Control Voice of the '60s) intones to the viewer a rather nasty picture of us poor slobs reduced to remote voyeurism via the boob tube, and is clearly Cash's user- unfriendly attack on that very same audience which paid his bills over the years, for shoddy workmanship (in terms of screen writing) I might add. The audience surrogate is Alec Knight, a guy addicted to TV (and more relevantly, porn shown on TV).

His lovely wife (or girl friend, the script never makes clear which) Angela played by Randi Wright is a really poorly written character if I can call her that. She lies around asleep, complains of headaches and is so indifferent to Alec that hate would be far preferable.

At work he schmoozes with co-worker Evan Stone who is completely unsympathetic, basically telling Alec to "get a life" whenever latter brings up the subject of the rather expensive new TV service. Sex in the office, whether it be creepy boss Steve Holmes humping Eva Angelina and then firing her, in a poorly scripted -as usual - plot device to introduce replacement Missy Monroe, or Evan humping Monroe, eats up plenty of running time.

Rest of the running time is devoted to the transparent reason for Cash's initial plot device -a sort of loop carrier where we watch the TV along with Alec, sure-fire method for presenting unrelated sex scenes within the body of the feature. Manuel Ferrara is purely animalistic in his humping Tiffany while later on Reno does the dirty with Taryn Thomas.

Throwing any hint of creativity to the winds, the sensory gimmick ends up being Alec merely putting his cheek to the TV screen and "feeling" the woman shown inside. He even has a boring discussion with Evan of how he avoids "feeling" the guy on screen, a sop to homophobes out their in porn land. That is the sum total of development of what, in other hands, might have been developed into an intriguing premise.

Cornball finale has Angela turning on a dime to bed down passionately with Alec, her non-character abandoned and contradicted. Except for Evan's hammy dialog, the so-called feature emerges as gonzo crap under false pretense of being a feature.

Lest one thinks me too harsh on poor Cash, here's a pricelessly awful line of his delivered (poorly) by Alec in the final reel to Angela: "Maybe is as good as a yes to a man when it come {sic} from a woman". I will blame the grammatical error on Alec, but this level of dialog and attitude from Cash earns him a place in porn purgatory.
