Bisexual experiment from Anna Span
"Sex Experiments" is an experimental film from British porn filmmaker Anna Span, not entirely successful but vastly interesting in its point-of-view. It suggested answers to many questions raised recently by women directors working in Adult Cinema.
The feature is split into two parts; first two vignettes spotlight bisexual sex action, while the last two are interviews/stroke sessions in which the unseen director chats with male porn stars, finding out about their work history and encouraging them to jerk off. That amounts to a sort of feminist reinterpretation of the hundreds of tiresome Playgirl TV DVD segments issued by Wicked Pictures under the defunct label malesolos.com.
But the first two threesome stories were eye-openers for me. I had watched a handful of videos back in the '80s, with Sharon Kane and other stars, in which two guys and a girl would have sex as a pretext for the guys to hump each other, violating the general prohibition in mainstream porn, which exists still today, against mixing straight sex and gay sex in the same package. Of course, lesbian scenes have always been a part of Adult Cinema, now finding a wide audience in all-female-cast DVDs, but the boy/boy action has always been ghettoized in its own separate niche.
First scene has an officious landlord played by Lucy Law, who harangues two young flatmates who are two months in arrears on paying their rent. As she inquires how they will manage to earn the money owed, they let slip that they find work as male prostitutes, with guys as their clients. Intrigued, she asks them to hump each other, and masturbates -aroused at the sight. She soon joins in for a threesome with fully explicit sex performed bareback.
This vignette is interspersed with the sound of director Anna yelling orders at her cast on what to do and what positions to take, left in the finished print due to what I concluded was the usual sloppiness, but it serves another purpose. It forces on the viewer the conscious realization that this somewhat outre porn is being directed by a woman.
What makes this even more interesting is the varied content integrated into this particular scene: interracial sex between Irish kid Chris and mulatto boy Marcus; the fact that the scene seems pro-am, as Marcus keeps looking toward the camera for assistance; and the guys being of jail-bait age, dominated by a MILF.
Second scene follows a similar pattern, titled in vulgar fashion: "Wipe That Off Me!". Matronly Alyssa Jenkins is an office manager, berating two young painters who left quite a mess in the office in their unfinished job, paint all over the floor. She orders them to clean it up and paint it correctly, but while she's away they're up to their old tricks and she catches them having sex together instead of working.
Nonplussed, she bosses them around further, intent on teaching the boys how to give a proper blow job. The resulting threesome includes her treated to anal sex, though this time a condom is used. It's an interracial scene as well.
With my favorite women directors Nica Noelle and Dana Vespoli lately directing homosexual story-line films for Nica's Icon Male label (as well as a slew of transsexual films) I had wondered what the ladies' connection was with this content -it seemed like a strange career choice, especially for talented filmmakers with extensive experience as both actresses and directors of lesbian features.
The interview/jerk-off segments by Span gave me some insight here, as she is genuinely turned on by watching the studs - a female voyeurism very similar to the oh-so-common male ogling of the female form. The segment with Neil Bow is rather dull and unenlightening (he's obscure and not an interesting personality), while Brit Porn star Steve Hooper is far more revealing in his personal comments about the industry. Anna has her make-up lady Abby chime in with some dirty personal stories that turn Hooper on, and both women seem intent on helping him achieve his money shot by delivering erotic monologues. Perhaps Anna's on to something, and in future the purchasing power of women may be applied to unknown territory like Gay Porn. In any event it is fascinating to see low-down, explicit sexual content unapologetically from a woman's point-of-view.
