In this thread I'm posting an edited collection of my notes / ephemeral reviews, written since joining the forum. It's not an exhaustive collection, but, after the forum migration, I wanted to copy a lot of my more detailed posts into one place - partly so that I could remove dead links and partly for ease of reference. Some of the material which follows arose from forum conversations, so thanks goes, amongst many others, to Flashboy, Bawdy, GregandSarah and Dutchy. I haven't presented the material in any particular order, and not all of the movies I review are still available to buy. I don't necessarily still agree with everything I've said on the forum over the past six years, but I hope this 'retrospective' forms an interesting and entertaining commentary on the Private archive.

Although links made to images from the last incarnation of Private.com no longer work and have been cut, I will gradually set about attaching images to illustrate many of these re-posts. Mostly, these images will be appropriate screenscaps I've made personally from the DVDs under review.

This collection covers ephemeral material written between April 2004 and May 2010, lifted from the context of the original threads. Anything new I have to say will be posted elsewhere on the forum in the normal way.

Re: Laura Angel / Silvia Saint


Laura Angel is indeed a special star. I've not bought 'The Private Life of... Laura Angel' yet, but I've collected most of her Private titles over the years.

Here is a mention of one of my favourites, 'Hells Belles' (Pirate Video Production # 12).

The film begins with shots of Laura strolling around the tourist centres of Prague. She looks a total eurobabe in this sequence. Her long black hair is hanging loose and free, her heels are high and she's wearing a tightly-buttoned short-sleeved pink top which stretches fetchingly across her large breasts and leaves her midriff and belly button exposed. Matching her shirt is a buttock-hugging pair of creamy-pink trousers, and part of the fun of watching her walk through the medieval square is in observing the unsuccessful attempts of a middle-aged tourist to pretend he's not ogling her butt. A group of lads on the bridge are less self-conscious about staring at her behind as she walks past!

These colourful, picture-postcard shots are intercut with black-and-white, slo-mo footage of a horny scene taking place at the apartment which is Laura's destination: Silvia Saint is already busy giving a ball-chewing, helmet-licking blowjob to a lucky fella slumped back in a leather-padded armchair. Laura arrives and wastes no time in getting naked to join in the action, and she undresses with all the sexy expertise of a strip-club showgirl. There's a wonderful close-up of Laura's rear end as she wiggles out of those tight, creamy-pink trousers and exposes the golden globes of her buttocks. The guy reaches out to touch her bottom flesh, and as he does so there's an exquisite cut to a close-up of Silvia swiftly licking the length of his rigid prick.

Laura accompanies Silvia in the task of orally stimulating the guy, and the swoony spectacle which follows includes all the elements which make blowjob scenes with Laura so special: there's the sassy sexual confidence of Laura's facial expressions; the sense that she's as pleased with herself as she is with the cock; we relish the sight of her freckled shoulders; the pouting red lips; the darting pink tongue; the nimble fingers with the finely-manicured long nails... Above all, Laura's looks to the camera are dark and dirty, and perfectly set off by the wicked arch of her eyebrows.

Silvia screws the guy in the reverse cowgirl position while Laura withdraws to put on a pair of bright blue fetish boots and a black latex top with blue and yellow sergeant's stripes on the shoulders. Laura plays with herself while clamping a thick black crop between her teeth like a pup with a bone, but she's soon back in the thick of it and both girls are taken in the ass. The guy fucks Silvia's sweet bottom doggy-style while Silvia feasts on Laura's pussy, then Laura mounts the guy and is butt-fucked in the reverse cowgirl position. The guy cums into Silvia's mouth, on her tongue and over her chin and cheeks. Silvia releases a trail of spunk and saliva over Laura's neck, her scarlet lipstick slightly smudged. The girls then kiss, and the scene fades out with Laura lifting her fingers, which are wet with spunk, and licking the tips of them so that she can taste the man-juice while looking up longingly at Silvia. A classic!



I've just watched the first of the two DVDs in 'The Private Life of Laura Angel' double-disc set. I was really interested in Laura's interview, which links together the various scenes. 'The Private Life of' interview questions are standard, predictable and often inane, but Laura fields them all with patient smiles. She comes across as an intelligent, articulate woman whose responses are honest but pleasant - both candid and gracious. The viewers' enjoyment of Laura's scenes is enhanced because we get to know a little about the woman behind the performances, her background and her views about her work for Private. You come away from 'The Private Life of Laura Angel' feeling good.

Re: Pizza Delivery


Originally posted by The Decorator:

Erm.... a slightly strange request here, but it's been bugging me for some time.

Quite a while ago I remember seeing a Private video which which began with at least one of the male talents jacking-off to a picture of Lady Penelope in a Thunderbirds magazine. (Thunderbirds was a 1960s TV puppet show.)

I think the plot of this particular sequence involved some girls delivering pizzas. I also think one of the girls may have been Kai Nobel. (It was a long time ago...)

I'm not a Lady Penelope fetishist (or indeed a pizza aficianado), but in which video this sequence appeared has been bugging me. (A bit like having a tune in your head and not knowing where you've heard it.)

It was likely that it was on one of the early Private Video Magazine VHS tapes. Is it available now on DVD at all?



My reply:

Found it!

And the good news is that the scene is included in a DVD compilation, 'Big Pack', which is still listed in the online Private shop. The scene is called 'Pizza Delivery', and it does indeed star Kai Nobel. What the DVD Production Notes don't tell you, though, is that the scene was originally released in 'Private Video Magazine' #7. (The DVD Cast information lists all of Kai Nobel's PVM appearances, including PVM #7, but without identifying which of these appearances it is that's included in this particular DVD compilation. It IS #7, though, cos I've checked out the original vid.!)

Kai Nobel's co-star in the scene is called Sissy. Sissy is named in the DVD Cast information and in the Private Shop listings, although in the title sequence of the video scene she's called Morell. Unhelpfully, Kai Nobel is listed in the Private Shop as "Cajsia", while "Kai Nobela" is referenced only as the name by which she's "also known" - even though this name was the one by which she was principally recognised by her Private fans. 'Pizza Delivery' was shot in England and directed by Lindsey Honey.

The Thunderbirds gag is wonderfully delivered. The scene opens with a panning shot across three guys slumped on sofas with their heads buried in mags while having a wank. The soundtrack is a sassy brass piece, included as if to make fun of the guys. David Perry is wanking to 'Private' magazine #102; Frank Versace, sitting next to him, is jerking off to 'Private' #103. The camera pans over to the lap of a wanking Alberto Rey, who's sitting opposite the others - and then up, for the comic reveal, towards the book which HE'S holding: it's a Gerry Anderson fan book by Simon Archer, 'F.A.B. Facts', which includes on the cover a montage of Thunderbird 2, Alan Tracy, Tin Tin and Captain Scarlet. Cut to the page which Alberto is looking at as he masturbates: it s a portrait of the Lady Penelope puppet wearing a frilly bonnet and reclining in a chair. Cut back to the other guys' wank fodder, the Private porn. (David is wanking to pages 86-87 of Private #102, the cumshot finale of a photoset with a model called Maria.)

Kai and Sissy pull up in the driveway to the guys house. They've arrived in a car with the custom number plate, "2 Sexy". They're here to deliver pizzas but they're dressed to impress - like no other pizza delivery people! Kai has a mischievous grin on her face as she walks up to the front door to ring the bell. It's as if she's keyed into the offbeat sense of humour of the director, Lindsey Honey, and is enjoying every minute of being in this tongue-in-cheek scene. As the bell rings the guys hurriedly push their cocks back into their trousers and greet the pizza delivery girls. Alberto, the Lady Penelope fetishist, apologises that he has no money to tip the girls with, but he says he can offer them a sausage instead. He whips out his cock again and Kai is only too pleased to start sucking on it. Sissy zeroes in on the other two cocks, and the rest is history.



Glad to be of service! I didn't realise that Lindsey Honey was actually Steve Perry, although I should have guessed because I knew that Steve had directed Kai in other stuff for Private at that time. Yes, very typical of Steve's 'cheeky chappie' humour - both the number plate and the Lady P. gag!

My reply:

Yes, I agree with you about that cumshot, Adam. The guy aims his cock perfectly at Monique's anus. Once his ejaculation is over, we see his spunk seeping from her orifice, as he spreads her ass cheeks and turns her butt to the camera. What's more, the guy's orgasm involves plenty of 'co-lateral damage': a blob of pre-cum lands on Monique's left buttock, and one of the curly lines of spunk which splashes onto her haunches trickles quickly into her bum valley.

Re: Stacy Silver / Lucy Lee / Reality #17


In Reality# 15, 'Never Say No', Stacy Silver does a Lecastel scene called 'Blackmail For Sex' in which she goes to work on Steve Holmes and Choky Ice, gets a really messy facial and leaves us in no doubt that she is porn princess of the sultry pout!

In 'Rock Hard', the scene which Stacy shares with Jennifer Dark is a tour de force of first-rate fuck action - breathtaking stuff!

The 'Private X-treme' movie 'Deep Obsessions' features Stacy making out in the shower. The camera is all over her shapely naked form as she draws us in with her bright blue eyes and works the guy's cock for all it's worth.

In the 'Pirate Fetish Machine' release, 'The Fetish Garden', Stacy sports a sparkling belly stud and wears a shimmering rubber cape beneath her tumbling blonde tresses, looking every inch the sex goddess. (Not sure about those earrings, though.) She relishes her dp and waggles her pierced tongue about to good effect during the cumshot.

I have a question: when does a porn 'starlet' become a porn 'star'? To my mind, Stacy Silver is definitely a 'star' rather than a starlet - she's already glittering away, way up there, as the heavenliest body in the cosmos.



Originally Posted by Adam:

My reply:

Good call, Adam. I love the scene in this movie which starts out in the shower. Stacy pouts and gasps her way through anal penetration in two great positions: she gets butt-fucked in the spoon position, and then she takes it in the tail while leaning back over her man and doing him in the reverse cowgirl position.

This scene is a visual feast of humping golden girl-flesh, with some wonderful transitions between shots of the guy's prick sliding into Stacy's luscious ass and extreme close-ups of her expressive bright blue eyes.

Romagnoli's use of swaying close-shot zoom-ins reflects the delirium of fantastic sex like no other technique of skin-flick filmmaking I've ever seen.

The stud's orgasm in this scene is more of a series of dribbles than a succession of spurting jets, but the sight of Stacy's pink wet tongue lapping busily away at his bell-end during the emission is very special, and some nice white dollops of spunk settle on her chin.



Have you seen 'Living A Dream', a scene by Lecastel starring Stacy Silver with Lucy Lee and Steve Holmes in Reality #17: 'Anal Desires'? It's dynamite.

In some ways it's a straightforward, no-frills scene. The set is a room with a sofa - it's brightly lit but plain and simple, drawing no attention to itself whatsoever. All the attention of the camera is on the girls and what they are getting up to with each other and Holmes; the frame is almost always full of female flesh in fuck mode. There is not much of a story to distract attention from the sex: Stacy and Lucy get it together, then after a couple of flash effects Holmes materialises in the room, finding that the girls are already either side of him, ready to run their wet tongues and lips over the length of his shaft. I'm not even sure, thinking about the title of this scene, whether the dream is meant to be his or theirs, but it doesn't really matter, because it all becomes a dream of mine!

Stacy Silver and Lucy Lee go extremely well together. When girl-on-girl action precedes the unveiling of a cock in threesome scenes like this, I usually cut to the chase and forward-fast to the moment when the girls start work on the man. On this occasion, my doing so was entirely out of the question. The blonde and brunette stars of this scene are so hot, and they complement each other so well, that every second of their performance together counts. Each girl in turn teases the camera and then they caress and lick each other. Stacy's soft, slightly fuller face and cute pout are exquisitely pretty as seen beside the darker, well-defined and almost sharp beauty of Lucy's facial features. Lecastel's camera is right up close as Lucy presses her face and tongue against Stacy's generous bosom, and we are up close again, moments later, as Stacy plants her rose-petal lips against the perfect contours of the younger girl's butt.

No man could hope for more than what Steve Holmes enjoys in the rest of this scene. Having had his cock passed from mouth to mouth, Holmes lies back on the sofa while Stacy gives him a thrusting reverse cowgirl and Lucy spreads her pert arse cheeks over his face, allowing him to probe her pussy and anus with his tongue. There follows a series of equally exciting positions on the sofa - and then a memorable climax.

His cock stuffed tightly inside Stacy's butt, Holmes manages to withdraw just in time to unleash a first spurt of cum against the blonde girl's rim. Quick as a flash, and with cum spilling down, Holmes whips his cock across to the waiting Lucy, releasing a fountain into her open mouth and spurting further dollops across her face for a landing out-of-frame, probably in her hair. The final shot is of Lucy giving a spermy oral massage to Holmes' oh-so-lucky member, looking at us while she does so, with her head resting against Stacy's arse cheeks and little spunk bubbles glistening at the corner of her mouth.

I have to say that, despite all the appearances of hot American models in Reality #17 and in other recent movies, my first preference is still for the east European girls, like these two Czech stars of 'Living a Dream'.

Overall, Reality #17 passes muster; there's a nice range of different styles in it and I'm pleased I've bought it. Alexai Mai has a really cool scene, and so does Czech girl Soffie. The American talent includes Amythiest Stone and Melanie Jagger. 'Rap girl' Gina Lynn appears in a zippy little blowjob promo edited in MTV style, as well as being the cover model for this release.

I wish that Reality would limit itself to only one backstage report per #, rather than two, and maybe give us an extra sex vignette instead of the second report, but I shouldn't moan. The reports in #17 on the making of 'Caribbean Vacation' and 'No Job, No Blow!' are amusing enough, although the sight of Kovi in front of the cameras chomping on a huge cigar has the temporary effect of making my dick wilt… No disrespect to the guy - and not to worry, because Stacy and Lucy are next up!

Re: Gabriella Marceau / Dayana Kill


I ordered a 'Superfuckers' DVD 6 pack from the Private Shop last week and it arrived yesterday, leaving me with plenty of viewing material for a while.

Each film has its own beautiful hostess to provide all the links and introduce the scenes. The hostesses are: #1 - Dayana Kill; #2 - Gabriella Tchekan; #3 - Cindy; #4 - Barbara; #5 - Ann Kiray; and #6 - Gabriella Marceau. The hostess wears a different sexy costume (or goes naked) for each of her appearances in the film, and, except in #1 and #4, she herself gets a facial at the end of the movie. My personal favourites are Dayana Kill, Ann Kiray and Gabriella Marceau.

Gabriella Marceau's delicate prettiness melts my heart as well as fires my loins, and I’ve already decided that my next acquisition should be one of her other Private works, 'Bitches 2'. Gabriella shares her surname with Sophie Marceau, the distiguished French actress and 'Bond girl', and there's a definite similarity of look, especially around the eyes.

The girl on the box cover of the 'Superfuckers' DVD 6 pack is Dayana Kill. The cover image is of Dayana in an iconic pose which is sourced from one of her linking sequences in 'Superfuckers' #1. The sequence is edited together like a fashion shoot and shows beyond question that Dayana has the poise and body of a top-drawer model. She is facing away from the camera, in a squatting posture, with her back straight, her high heels on, her golden hair falling almost to her waist, her hands resting on her knees and her whole, beautiful form in a perfectly symmetrical pose.

The highlight of 'Superfuckers' #1 is the final scene in which a starlet called Emese is gang-banged. Dayana is on hand throughout this scene. She wanks a few cocks while the guys are waiting their turn to poke Emese, and she's happy for them all to grope her tits and thighs while they queue. Also, Dayana plays a part during the multiple cumshot sequence - she holds back Emese's hair and lends physical support to the younger girl as guy after guy chucks spunk over Emese's face. By the end of the scene, though - which is also the end of the film - one can't help feeling disappointed that Dayana herself hasn't been on the receiving end of some serious cock action... the sexy links she's been providing are terrific, but it's almost as if her role in the climactic scene has been confined to a glorified 'fluffer' (this is the American term for a girl employed on a porn set specifically to keep the studs hard in between takes).

Not to worry: there's a wonderful surprise in store for fans of Dayana in 'Superfuckers' #3 when the hostess of the moment, Cindy, asks the viewer: "Do you remember Dayana Kill from 'Superfuckers' #1?... You'd like to see her in action, wouldn't you?... Everything in its own sweet time, don't you think?" This is the cue for a fantastic scene in which Dayana gets the full works, courtesy of Woodman stalwarts Alain Deloin and David Perry. We can at last enjoy the spectacle of this golden-haired, golden-bodied beauty being well and truly shafted - with a dp to boot, and a finale in which she almost manages to squeeze Alain's and David's spent, bloated bell-ends into her mouth at the same time.

Bawdy, I remember you mentioned elsewhere that the use of authenic sound in 'Superfuckers' scenes is a definite 'plus' as far as you're concerned, as opposed to dubbed sounds of sex which predominate in other films. Authenticity is a trademark feature of the 'Superfuckers' series and there are two scenes which I'd especially recommend, starring Pierre Woodman himself: there's a 'casting' of Adrienne Klass in #3, and a threesome with Coreena and Sunny Blue in #6. In #3, the grunting maestro gets to cum inside Adrienne's mouth (or does he?), and, in #6, the sucking noises which Sunny makes as she fellates Pierre have to be heard to be believed!

Re: Athletic Positions / Tammi Ann / Jon Dough


Originally posted by Bawdy:

My favourite position is what I call "the up and over": girl's torso vertical, head and shoulders on ground, legs in the air or supported on chair or bed. Good for both vaginal and anal penetration, good for anal orgasms. Also a good position to shoot your load down onto your partner’s chest and open mouth. First saw this in the classic scene with Monique Covet on a boat in Sydney Harbour in one of the early Private Video Magazines. Would like to see more like this…


My reply:

When I first watched that Sydney Harbour boat scene, the athleticism of Monique Covet's performance and cumshot position hit me like a whirlwind!



Re: Films which deal with positions- Overall, the Black Label release 'Sex Secrets Of Kamasutra' doesn't explore as wide a range of interesting positions as the title might suggest, but lithe and leggy Melory, one of the film's leads, is especially adept at wrapping herself around her man in close bodily contact, and she, Vanda and Bettina are at various points arranged in some pleasingly picturesque fuck-action compositions. This is a cast to die for.

Re: Improbable displays of impressive athleticism - Does anyone remember an ff/m scene in which the agile Tammi Ann performs while suspended upside down, her legs bent round a wooden rafter in a bamboo hut?



Originally posted by Bawdy:

Yeah, Apocalypse Climax 2. Tammi Ann is a performer who I've grown to appreciate more and more over the years. Her sequence in Cum Shot Deluxe 1 is very well put together and showcases her abundant talent. She's also in Arrowhead which I noticed is 50% off this month in the Private Shop. The orgy sequence on the beach at the end is awesome, Tammi obviously enjoying and savouring her cumshot.



My reply:

It's been a few years since I've seen 'Arrowhead' and the 'Apocalypse Climax' movies, and I don't yet own copies, but I do remember Tammi Ann, Anita Blonde and Laura Palmer as an unbeatable trio of blondes from that era.

I also have recollections of performances in these films by Jon Dough, a beefcake who was prolific in American porn towards the end of the last millenium, sporting a big cock and dodgy perms (he used to have an especially embarrassing mullet cut in the style of Mel Gibson in 'Lethal Weapon')!

Tammi Ann always came across as bright, vivacious, perky and fit, with oodles of personality and a flexible willingness to relish whatever positions were asked of her. This is so even in her still-image work, such as 'The Magic Shell' set in Private magazine #134 (pp. 68-81).


Re. Jon Dough. I haven't seen him in anything recently, as these days I stick fairly closely to Private. I remember that he often used to get cast in porn roles which required some dramatic acting, and I think this is so in the 'Apocalypse Climax' movies. Endearingly, he was way too hammy to cut it as a serious actor, though he never had any problems in the wood department! The results were, by turns, funny and arousing, but never really dramatic!

Re. 'Arrowhead' / 'Apocalypse Climax'. The landmark use of pyrotechnics in 'Apocalypse Climax' is striking. It's not as explosive, though, as the sexual fireworks ignited by these films' blonde cast, which I ve listed above. Wasn't Monique Covet in there with them too?



Originally posted by Bawdy:

Think he mainly does gonzo now. He still has his trademark double barrel cumshot though.



My reply:

Fair play to the guy, and long may he squirt! Maybe the pretensions went out with the perms, though it's questionable whether the acting between Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen in 'Apocalypse Now!' is any less hammy than the stuff between Jon Dough and Melissa Hill!

I think that some of the 'high-end' producers of American porn movies sometimes used to focus too much on story, character and drama, at the expense of the sex, as if they had forgotten that the main talents of their cast were as sex performers rather than as actors. Maybe some of the directors, writers or cast had aspirations to cross over to mainstream Hollywood and were trying, ill-advisedly, to make their mark in this way.

It was rare for Private to make this mistake, a trap so often fallen into by its American rivals. ('Summer Wind' 1 & 2 is the only Private film I can think of which makes really false moves in the direction of serious drama - sometimes losing sight of the sex, and overlooking the fact that the actors are nowhere near as good at on-screen psychological exploration as they are at porn. Fans of 'Summer Wind' may wish to disagree with me!)

Private's movie ranges have given us some cracking, exciting tales, moody moments and brilliant, lavish parodies, but the emphasis has always been on good, solid sex, and it's always been the sex which has been of central importance in Private - first and foremost! Flagship films like 'Operation Sex Siege' and 'Private Gladiator' stand out spectacularly, above anything else produced in the adult industry... Private's "favourite sex position" is as brand leader!

Jon Dough always brought a larger-than-life charisma to his movies, especially in his heyday at Vivid. I, too, remember how he appeared as a gracious and humorous fellow in documentaries about porn. His friends in the industry have been paying tributes to him as "one of the good guys".

This is very sad news. Condolences to his family and to all who knew him personally.

Re: Sandy Style

Has Sandy Style yet done enough scenes for a 'Private Life of...'? This cute, blue-eyed blonde Czech girl is a favourite of mine, and I hope that she eventually will join the gallery of 'The Private Life of...' stars.

Check out Sandy in Gazzman's 'Surf Fuckers', a relaxed but horny movie shot in The Dominican Republic. There's a nice outdoor poolside scene which involves Sandy, Sue Diamont and a couple of guys. This scene stretches over time, with sequences taking place both before and after sunset. I like the way Gazzman uses Sandy in the cumshot finale of this scene. Sue's man explodes first, so Sandy turns away from her own guy for a while to join Sue and taste the spent juices of this first man. She gives him a good suck and takes her time over this before returning to her own guy to finish him off. He cums too, and thick trails of spunk hang down from Sandy's face to her chest, creating a creamy pool of goo below her neck.

There's quite a lot of behind-the-scenes footage linked to this scene in 'The Making of...' extra, together with a brief but cheerful interview with Sandy, whose English appears to be limited. There's also a 'Funnies' extra, which shows the happy foursome having some technical difficulties holding it all together on the poolside sunbed. You get the sense that doing this scene was genuine fun for all the performers.


Re: 'The Wild Circle', Scene 5: 'She Rules'

Sandy Style is an evil biker bitch and Gabriel Montoya is at her mercy. He's dressed like a dishevelled leftover from a Tarantino heist movie, in black suit and white shirt; he's gagged, helpless and sprawling back in a chair. Sandy is crouching between his legs, kneading and smacking his cock through his trousers while sucking on his finger. Her leather jacket slides off her left shoulder and opens up to expose her firm breasts and bullet-hard nipples. Straight layers of strawberry-blonde hair play out from under her black headscarf, wisping around the blue-tinted lenses of her trendy biker shades.

She fiddles and fumbles and at last his cock is out, thick and curvy, like an elephant's trunk. She licks the underside of his fat member, drawing her long pink tongue up and down its length. her cute nose and black nose-ring nudge against the upper cock-flesh as she laps at the swollen stem. She rocks a little, backwards and forwards, and her bare, expansive buttocks waggle in the air.

Sandy slaps Gabriel's cock to and fro against the wetness of her extended tongue. Her eyes are piercing blue, sapphires set against the dark shadow of her eye make-up and pencilled brows. She looks up at the face of her captive man with steady, cool deliberation, examining the effect which her oral ministrations are having on him. His ordeal has only just begun...

Re: Ivy Crystal



Check out Ivy Crystal in the scene called 'Catwoman' from 'Private Stories' video #4. With painted whiskers on her cheeks and a little button nose, she’s an incarnation of feline grace. Ivy's act as she laps at two lucky studs with her tongue in the style of a pussy cleaning her kittens has to be seen to be believed, as does the way she blinks her saucer eyes to camera while sucking cock. "I love to fuck for Private," she purrs, her face coated in cum. Or if you prefer cats with a more predatory nature, check out the stalking 'Wild Cats' of 'Triple X' video #13...






Re: Budapest




Originally posted by FF:

I don't think that many of private's movies have been shot in budapest - with the exception of Kovi's stuff and a few Frank Thring movies.



My reply:


Hi, ff. Private has been all over the world but I think that if anyone ever got around to doing a full location analysis we would see that Budapest has always been a staple of the Private movies - certainly if we included studios as well as exteriors.

Check out the Woodman-era 'Budapest Report' in 'Triple X' video #6 (1995). This follows Pierre and a bevy of his babes on location in the city and the surrounding areas. As the narrator says, "This time we've travelled to Hungary, an extraordinary country filled with beautiful locations, where we made many of the photosets and videos which you'll be able to see in Private's upcoming magazines and videos." Things were really taking off...

One example of a more recent movie giving scenic views of Budapest is Lecastel's '18 Birthday Presents' (2002). The very first shot of the film is a 'post card' cityscape taken from the hills of Buda and overlooking the Danube, as I was talking about earlier. Another example of location work in Budapest - chosen at random from many possible examples - is 'Across the Lake' by Andrew Youngman and John Walton, starring Sara Blue and Ginger, shot in 2003 and released in 'Reality' #22: 'Insatiable Sex Dolls'.



Bawdy, if you're staying near the Citadel, the Turkish baths to check out are the Gellert baths adjacent to the Gellert Hotel. This magnificent bath house is a must-see tourist attraction - grandiose and very refreshing






Re: Barcelona



I've just enjoyed a short break in Barcelona, in the heat of the summer! A wonderful city... and you guys at Private are lucky indeed to be based there! I spared a thought for you while tucking into seafood at Port Olimpic and knocking back the Sangria in the Barri Gotic. I even managed to sneak away for a late-night visit to the infamous Bagdad Sex Club, where I performed a brief turn on stage at the behest of one of the girls! (By the way, have you ever thought of signing any of the performers at Bagdad? - there's some serious talent there! I saw a couple of hardcore stage performances which might just as well have been cast by Woodman and choreographed by Adamo, they were that good!) On the mainstream front, the discotecas around L'Eixample and Av Diagonal seemed very quiet and subdued, as far as I could see - perhaps because it's August. All the action seemed to be down by the beaches! Overall it was an interesting experience... even including the clumsy attempt to pick my pocket on the Metro, which I managed to thwart!

It's high time that Petra Short got some serious attention in the Private forum! This young Hungarian is a naturally pretty girl with a body to die for, and she's an enchanting performer.

Petra's scene in Antonio Adamo's 'China Box' is very nice indeed. It begins in an Audi, with Petra's boyfriend driving her around while she has a cool disagreement with him about whether he should give up his work as a gigolo. Petra looks fantastic in her black halter top, which sets off her bare round shoulders and arms to perfection. The couple are obviously close, and it's clear that their argument isn't going to prevent them indulging in some steamy outdoor sex.

The guy parks the Audi beside a lake and soon the horny pair are out of the car and enjoying a serious smooch. Petra is wearing tight jeans shorts, and it's great to watch her press her denim-clad butt into her lover's groin as he leans back against the car and necks her. He pulls up her top to expose her pert breasts and he massages them with relish.

Soon Petra is sucking on her boyfriend's prick and balls. She affords the camera almost as much attention as the cock, involving the viewer fully in the intimacy of this highly watchable blowjob. There follows a sequence where the guy is leaning back on the seat of the car, through the open door, while Petra, now minus her shorts, is bouncing up and down on his lap, taking his cock to the hilt. He then does her in various nicely-posed positions across the silver bodywork of the Audi, including a snug doggy fuck. The cumshot is to the face, with the prick rubbing against pale pink tongue as it explodes. At least one dollop of spunk arches right inside the open, willing mouth. There is plenty of dreamy, post-cumshot follow-through, with Petra turning hornily towards the camera.

Re: Frank Thring

I'd like to comment on the extended cameos by Frank Thring in two of his Pirate Video Deluxe films, 'The Academy' and 'The Club'. In each case Thring himself gets to enjoy a girl.

In 'The Academy' Thring gives a comic turn as the oafish, bumbling director of a finishing school for porn actresses who likes to spy on Sandra Russo through key holes - and who can blame him? Sex goddess Sandra, clad in gleaming black fetish wear and boots, catches Thring in the act. She promptly squats on him and sucks him off.

This scene is called 'Dirty Frank Thring' in the dvd edition. Thring is an Englishman (at least I think he is), and the lecherous, inept buffoon he plays here is a type from British comedy. By no stretch of the imagination does he look the part of a stud - in fact, he bears more than a passing physical resemblance to plump English comedian Benny Hill in middle age, at the height of his fame. Yet Thring manages to hose Sandra Russo with his bulbous todger as if he was running a tap - the spunk flows onto Sandra's brow, nose, lips and chin, up her nostril and into her mouth. Thring's cream dribbles down the full length of her beautiful porn-star face.

In 'The Club', Thring is vigorously whipped and dominated by Ellen, a girl much younger than himself - and a right tornado of a bitch she is, too. Once again he discharges magnificently, lashing her face with spunk. Dirty Frank Thring, indeed!

It's perhaps surprising that Englishman Steve Perry has no cameo in 'Money for Nothing, Sex for Free', his feature movie for private. (At least, i don't think he has a cameo.) I say surprising because Perry, aka Ben Dover, certainly gives himself a share of the on-screen goings-on in the films he makes for his own label.

Re: Sandra Iron / Niky Bellucci

Sandra Iron is fantastic in Romagnoli’s 'Body Shock'. There are many wonderful moments in her scene. for example I like the bit during fellatio, as the camera zooms out, when Sandra pouts and lightly rubs the tip of the cock against the slippery pink curve of her lower lip... the next instant, she coats the cock hole with a foamy little emission of saliva from between her wet lips, and follows through with a suck which takes her mouth half way down the guy's swollen root. All the while, she maintains a steady gaze into his eyes. (This special couple of seconds can be enjoyed at: chapter run-time, 11.19 - 11.22.)

And what about Niky Bellucci's amazing scene? I love it right at the end... After the cumshot, as Niky continues to lean over the cock and wank and lick it, there is a dissolve to her forearm in extreme close-up (ECU). Romagnoli pans across Niky's wrist and then swerves the camera up - to the girl's busy hand and tongue. As the camera moves along Niky's arm we savour the sight of the patches of cum glistening on her skin, and we relish the spectacle of the sticky jism trailing down her wrist. The ECU of Niky's tongue flicking rapidy over the guy's helmet dissolves into an ECU of her brown eyes staring at the camera, then the scene disintegrates in a fuzzy explosion of white light... (chapter run-time, 14.40 - 14.52.)


Romagnoli's 'Sex, Lies and Internet' is an excellent movie for Sandra Iron. She has no less than three scenes in this one, and she brings to the performances her customary zeal and gusto. I love her wide-eyed stare and those intimate little snarling looks of lust which she gives the viewer in close-up. Sandra has an incredible body which just doesn't stop, and Romagnoli's camera roves around her and sways about as she fucks.

I like Sandra's hairstyle in this movie, as she seems to be growing her hair again. Blonde strands fall down her forehead, flopping over her right brow slightly - I find this cute.

A couple of Sandra's scenes in 'Sex, Lies and Internet' rework past Private triumphs but they do so in Romagnoli's own unique, exciting style. Sandra's scene with David Perry in the pouring rain, suffused as it is with blue light, recalls Laura Angel's sex-in-the-rain scene in Adamo's 'Sex Shot'. Also, Sandra's scene with David in the lavatory has its precedents - enough, perhaps, to constitute a new lavatory section in the Categories area of Private.com. ...? In particular, the scene ends up as a superior reworking of Gabriella Bond's scene in the Gentlemen's Restroom, from Woodman's 'Sweet Baby 2'. (This being Private, no golden showers are involved, thank goodness - just Sandra's golden body and a creamy shower of spunk to her mouth!)

More Sandra, please... I can never have my fill of this babe!

By the way, I couldn't discuss 'Sex, Lies and Internet' without at least a mention of Cintia, the movie's hot blonde cover girl. She's fantastic in the film, and certainly one to watch...

Re: Vanda


Hungarian brunette Vanda is a major babe and I declare myself a serious fan of her Private works! There are one or two other Vandas, but she is the most prolific one, known elsewhere as 'Vanda Vitus' .

Here are some references to a few of my favourite moments with Vanda:


'Pirate: Powerslave'

Anita's Dream 1 - hot young Vanda looks horny in shiny blue fetish wear. Savour the shot of her gorgeous butt as she crawls towards the four guys she's about to blow. Notice the polite little kiss that she gives to the tip of the dick at 35 mins. 31 secs., before moving on to the next cock.


'KamaSutra'

Check out: 1hr. 55mins. 25 secs. thru 1 hr. 58 mins. 43 secs. This is the movie's finale, an ensemble of Vanda and Melory with two guys. It's especially enjoyable to watch Vanda's beautiful face sway in profile, with her hair falling forward, as she's taken from behind (1 hr. 57 mins., 18 secs to 23 secs.).


'Indiana Mack'

Vanda feels up Sheilla Scott's two bound and captive studs in the hay barn, giving each a quick little grope with her slim hand while Sheilla looks on smugly, at 1 hr. 28 mins., 18 secs. thru 27 secs. oh, to be at the mercy of these two babes!

At the end of the scene, cum is endlessly spurted over Vanda's face - catch her cute smile to camera, cock to mouth, as jism drips down...



Vanda as Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa

'Mona Lisa' is a short film shot in Spain by John Millerman as a vignette for 'Private XXX 2'. Co-starring with Vanda are Frank Major as Leonardo, and Cristina and Estell (aka Melody Kord) (dvd scene selection 2).

Millerman's 'The Uranus Experiment' features the same girls and was released at about the same time: a Report on 'The Uranus Experiment' is also included in 'Private XXX 2' (scene selection 4).

In 'Mona Lisa' Millerman achieves a sweet simplicity, evoking an idyllic world of artistic pursuits and girls merrily at play. This sense of Renaissance charm is supported by the rustic setting, and by the use on the soundrack of life-affirming period music played on strings and the organ. Millerman exploits the physical resemblance between Vanda and Mona Lisa by posing the starlet exactly as the original, and coaxing from her an enigmatic smile which is so accurate that it's uncanny. There's an amazing computer-generated effect where the image of Vanda as Mona Lisa suddenly morphs into an image of the portrait itself: the transition is seamless and striking. (Chapter run-time, 1 min. 10-11 secs.)

Vanda is exceptionally cute and endearing in this scene. After she has settled down for her sitting, there are a few magical seconds when the painter chucks her under the chin. She (i) looks up at him with her wide, bright eyes and gives him her coy smile. Then she (ii) turns that smile to the camera, captivating the viewer in precisely the same way as does Mona Lisa in the actual painting. (0 mins, 53-56 secs.) These few seconds are worked into the trailer for 'Private xxx 2' - they are excitingly spliced between moments (i) and (ii) (and briefly intercut with the Private xxx series' opening 'techno' image of a bank of television screens). The coy smile is a good choice for use in the trailer, as it distils the essence of what this scene is all about: a spirit of innocent fun, and the sweetness of Vanda.

During the Report on 'The Uranus Experiment', Vanda and Melody Kord are interviewed sitting next to each other on a sofa, looking tarty and hot in very short skirts, and with their legs crossed. (5 mins, 38 secs - 6 mins, 20 secs.) As the girls are asked the usual questions, such as whether they have ever reached an orgasm when shooting, what their favourite positions are and whether they have boyfriends, Vanda giggles helplessly, making cute little dismissive hand gestures and refusing to take any of it seriously. Melody is asked, "What do you do in your free time during the weekend?" She keeps a straight face as she gives the mischievous reply, "I practise group sex with my friends every weekend," and Vanda completely cracks up at this. It's great to catch a glimpse of the girls' real personalities as they misbehave during the interview, and insights like this make watching their sex scenes all the more enjoyable.



Following on from this, I've uncovered more tantalising evidence that the real-life Vanda is totally cool...

Scene 3 of Gazzman's 'The Scottish Loveknot' is set in the rolling green hills above Loch Ness. This is a scene full of mysticism as well as eroticism. Tony di Sergio, sporting a kilt, is held captive by Jodie Moore, the Lady of the Loch. She has him chained to a stake and leaves him at the sexual mercy of Vanda and a second Hungarian girl, a blonde called Ginger. Both girls are wearing robes like Druids. When the scene begins it's still daylight, but by the time Tony's been untied for some full-on MFF fun with Vanda and Ginger, night has fallen. The sequences shot at dusk are rich in colour and particularly beautiful, proving that there's far more to Gazzman's film-making talent than hardcore gonzo. The DVD edition includes a Director's Commentary in which Gazzman and Tony di Sergio have a witty, entertaining conversation about the making of the film. They enthuse about Scene 3:

Tony: "Here we have two very sexy Hungarian girls... great bodies!" Gazzman: "Have you got a tilt in your kilt yet....?" Tony: "I did like these two... they were very fruity!" Gazzman: "They're beautifully tanned, too. There's no pasty white people in this!" Tony: "I have to take my hat off to the girls, they were really great here, given the conditions [i.e. midges biting their naked bodies as they fuck on damp grass in the cold at 3am!] ... That's my 'monkey face' - I very much enjoyed that, that was my first orgasm of the shoot. I waited three days for that!"

It's on this commentary track that we get some more 'real life' insights into how cool Vanda is - and Ginger too! Gazzman and Tony recall meeting the girls prior to the shoot. They explain that after the girls had been picked up at the airport everyone bonded really well on the journey up to Scotland. They passed their time playing card games and 'I Spy'. They also had a bit of a sing-song! Ah, bless!

Re: Lisa Sommer

I don't think I have any of the Lisa Sommer scenes on DVD, but I do have copies of some of the 'Private Video Magazine' originals. PVM #11 includes two scenes starring Lisa: one is 'Campfire' and the other is 'Anal Virgin'. In 'Campfire' she appears with Gina, two guys and a third girl whose name escapes me, all fucking round the fire on a freezing, snowy night.

My favourite 'Campfire' moments include the rear shot of a wriggling Lisa pulling down her jeans to reveal a boyish bottom covered by tight but old-fashioned knickers, which come complete with frilly hem.

I also like the sequence where Lisa is bent over and shafted from behind, naked except for her white ankle socks, and leaning for support against girl #3, who is kneeling in front of her. Lisa's body is rocked by the rhythm of the fucking, but she manages to turn to the camera and pull cute, lustful faces at us while her shapely tits slap against the face of girl #3.

Later there's a nice close-up of Lisa licking girl #3's tits while staring out at us again. Lisa's bright blue eyes are partially concealed by locks of the other girl's black hair falling down across her face, but she's still able to fix us with her stare.

At the end of the scene lisa pairs up with girl #3 to take cum to the face from one of the guys. he shoots his load and lisa has to blink several times while he waves his cock up and down with real force, right over her brow. This is rather endearing - have some flying droplets caught her in the eye?

Lisa is very sexy, but for me the priority chick in this vignette is Gina. The steam created by Gina's hot breath on this freezing night adds luster to the scene; and once Alberto Rey has discharged, Gina's facial performance and her playful manipulation of his wet cock against her mouth, cheeks and nose are nothing short of spectacular.

I have a copy of 'Private Video Magazine' #17 and so I'm currently able to enjoy Lisa Sommer’s scene, '2 in one'. Lisa's performance really typifies the spirit of fun which pervaded private productions at the time, and which changed how I felt about porn.

Lisa is given a wobbly dp on her cabin bed, and during this we're treated to a close-up of her glances to the camera - she conspiratorially winces at us with expressions mixing lust, pain and pleasure. My copy has German subtitles, and the shots of the two mighty cocks thumping away at Lisa's pussy and ass are accompanied by the text of classic lines such as, "Komm, baby, ich will deinen arsch nehmen," and "Oh, mein gott! Oh, mein gott!”

The cumshot is what I would call 'a face and shoulder special'. There is an artful dissolve from a high-angle tracking shot of the icy sea - as seen from the deck of the boat sailing 'full steam ahead' - to a sexy composition of the threesome in the cabin. lLsa is looking straight out towards the camera while leaning her body towards the guy on her right, grasping his cock with her left hand. Her left shoulder and arm are busy in the foreground, partially covering her tits as she wanks the guy. When he cums, the spunk rains down towards those semi-concealed breasts. Guy #2 is Alberto Rey, and he is positioned to Lisa's left, wanking himself just above her moving shoulder and pointing his prick close up to her face at mouth level as she looks at the camera. he fires off several streaky rounds: one volley splatters against her cheek at close range; one splashes off her cheek and plummets down towards her neck; two others fly in front of her face in graceful arcs across the composition; and a final, lower-level volley is fired just above her shoulder, finding a target in her nestled tits. (All this is what might be called a 'Rey-gun' spectacular!) Never once does Lisa stop looking at the camera. She smiles, she smacks her lips, and she opens her mouth to reveal her perfect teeth and her naughty pink tongue. The guys wave their spent cocks about and press them against her face. alberto rey holds the top of Lisa's head in his huge hand and she suddenly bursts out with laughter. She extends smiles of genuine mirth to the camera; and, for a moment, she's giggling at someone else as well, who's out of frame (presumably one of the crew). The camera is zooming in slowly for the fade-out, and some gooey strands of cum can be seen inside her mouth.

Overall, PVM #17 is a classic. Lisa aside, I have a real soft spot for Angelica, the star of 'Barbeque Ass' and 'Horny Horsegirl'. The two girls in 'Vulcano Island' are fucking gorgeous. 'Moon Dance' stars Zana, private's foxiest ever Asian girl. By this point in the PVM series, Kai Nobel has taken over from Betty as the subject of the sexy dance montage used as an occasional link between scenes. above all, 'Tanja and the Woodman' is significant as an early scene with Tania Russof, who was to become Private's flagship star of the 1990s...

Re: Gina


Originally posted by bawdy:

Gina is an old British favourite of mine. She has a hot scene in Virgin Treasures 2 and pops up in an old Private Video Magazine where she gets washed up on a beach and revived by 2 helpful studs (I assume this scene may be in some of her DVD compilations).


My reply:

Gina is a fine figure of a woman; a sturdy, strong-boned brunette with a face of handsome beauty, dreamy dark eyes, boundless energy and a clear enthusiasm for hot sex. The scene in which she gets washed up on a beach and revived by two studs is called 'A Girl In A Net'. It's from Private Video Magazine #10, and the studs in question are David Perry and Frank Gun. (This scene may well appear in one of the dvd compilations listed for Gina in the Private Shop, though it's not in 'Big Pack' or 'Beach Bitches' as I have both of these and they feature other scenes with Gina.)

In 'A Girl In A Net', sand sticks everywhere on the three wet, writhing bodies as they copulate on the beach, and the 2-on-1 facial cumshot is a tour de force which typifies the style of early Private videos at their best. Gina is clearly in the throes of an extreme attack of cock mania as she shakes her face around at furious speed between the two pricks spurting either side of her. Even after she has slowed down a little to savour the flavour of each spent tool between her lips, the motion of her head from one prick to the other is still a jerking one, as if to match the twitches of residual pleasure experienced by the two guys, post-climax.

For serious fans of Gina, check out, in addition to her Private works, a Magma movie called 'Cindy-Connection' where she is partnered again with her 'Virgin Treasures' co-star Alberto Rey for a scene in a gym which culminates in a facial cumshot of truly spectacular dimensions...

Re: Tania Russof / Kristina

Has anyone else ever strolled around the canals of The Red Light District in Amsterdam? Perhaps you've noticed the facade of a big shop of video booths which is covered in lit panels displaying photo images of Private stars? I think this store is in the same street as the famous Cassa Rosso Theatre and phallus fountain. If not, it's in one of the parallel streets.

At the turn of the century the striking centrepiece of this store front was a huge lit display of the beautiful eyes of Tania Russof. Only her eyes - but her eyes made up in Egyptian style as for her Cleopatra role in Private's classic feature film, 'The Pyramid'. The image was sourced from the pic on 'The Pyramid' box cover. Sadly, this store-front display has since been removed, and more recent images from Private have taken its place. For a few years, though, it was Tania who watched over the pretty canal, a canal which twinkles at night in all the pink and red neon light. Tania's goddess eyes gazed across the rippling water with serene disinterest, taking in the near-naked window girls opposite, as they were plying for trade; the endless procession of gawping tourists; the drunken lads on stag nights; the shuffling dealers and junkies; the romantic young couples holding hands; the speeding Dutch cyclists tinkling their bike bells - and me. Tania was there for us all, and she was out there as Cleopatra before Julia Taylor had even thought of donning an Egyptian robe (but not before Elizabeth Taylor)!


This display of Private stars is still there. The establishment in question is called 'Sex Palace' and it is indeed close by to The Cassa Rosso Theatre in Amsterdam's Oz. Achterburgwal. The canalside walkways are currently being repaved and unfortunately the monumental phallus fountain seems to have been removed.



Originally osted by t o m:

Who is the girl in the first scene of the first Pyramid movie?



My reply:

Hi, t_o_m! For this scene Kristina plays Betty, a young American tourist who asks a fisherman (John Walton) to take her on a boat trip along the Nile. The fisherman shows Kristina into the hold of his boat (which looks like a studio set), and there they get acquainted. Kristina has always wanted to make out with an Egyptian man and he, in turn, is attracted to her pale skin and blue eyes (or so we're told by the silky-voiced narrator).

John Walton licks out Kristina, gets a blowjob, fucks her in the pussy in four different positions and does her up the ass in two positions. Kristina is wearing a cute straw hat throughout the oral foreplay but her hat tumbles off her head when she starts to get shafted.

The cumshot is pure magic, and for me it's way up there amongst my favourite sequences by Pierre Woodman. Kristina leans over John Walton's midriff, her heavy breast pressing against him, and she expertly jerks him off so that his jism shoots up all over her tongue, chin and neck. She continues to massage his cock while sucking out the cum, and she flicks her tongue over the bell-end in a flurry of motion meant to induce spasms of pleasure.

Kristina's smooth round shoulder occupies the left hand side of the frame but the focus of the shot is her pretty face. Her face is tilted slightly to her left and her blonde hair sweeps down in a fetching bell alongside her cheek. Woodman slowly brings the camera in closer to Kristina's face. Suddenly she glances up at us, and she transfixes us with her bright blue eyes right through to the fade-out. She briefly narrows her eyes, giving out a lustful little message just for us.

She allows John's knob to pull against her lower lip so that we can see the set of her white teeth and the wet red underside of her lip before the lip springs back into place. A sticky thread of cum hangs from Kristina's upper lip and it trails across her tongue and lower lip before breaking. Kristina's eyes suddenly convey a sense of warm good humour. She pouts a little then curls the corners of her mouth into a crooked little half-smile. Again this is for our benefit, and it's very, very sexy.

A small drop of cum rests on her chin. She bites her lower lip as if to convey an admission that she's been a naughty girl, and then she rolls her lip out from under her teeth so that her mouth settles back into a teasing slight smile. She licks John's cock again, then she wraps her fingers around its length and encloses the bell-end in her mouth for a good, hard suck which draws in her cheeks and shows up her cheek bones. She blinks and pops the prick back out, swirling her tongue around it and giving it another series of quick liitle licks.

The fact that she stares at the camera throughout all this suggests that every subtle aspect of her performance is deliberate and that she knows exactly what the effects on the viewer are going to be.

Re: Porn in the Theatre / Soho, London / Porn as Foreplay


Until recently, the U.K. was trailing well behind most of the western world as far as the legality of mainstream hardcore porn was concerned, and for many years here, we could only get immediate access to hardcore movies through low-rent, unlicensed sex shops, shady dealers, badly pirated video copies and sleazy, unlicensed sex cinemas. Thank God that all this is changing, and the U.K. is at last catching up with the rest of the civilised world in terms of how porn is retailed, consumed, enjoyed and thought about.

I believe 'The Pyramid' was a test case by which a liberal censor changed what it was permissible to sell here through a classification for restricted retail - a decision which outraged the Home Office. Tania Russof seduced the censor, and Private and Pierre Woodman earned a place in British cultural history!

In the dark old days of U.K. censorship, hardcore porn was taboo - even high quality stuff like the early Private videos - so when watching the films in a dingy little cinema run by small-time villains, you'd often feel bonded with the other patrons by a shared sense of secrecy, illegitimacy and forbidden lust. This sometimes added a warm nastiness to the experience of getting off to the porn. Perversely, I now feel a little nostalgic about all this as I catch up with Private on its own terms and in the comfort of my own home. No wonder we Brits are fucked up!

There's a great Private short called 'Seduction Cinema' set in a movie theatre: while Richard Langin fucks willowy beauty Mona Lisa up on the silver screen, the aroused Karen goes to work on a popcorn-munching patron down in the stalls and is soon joined by another punter who's decided to clamber his way forward from the back row for a piece of pussy... the scene amusingly switches between the alternate realities of (1) Mona Lisa's celluloid seeing-to and (2) the m/f/m sex inside the movie theatre itself.

This short appears as 'Story 10' in the dvd compilation 'Private: Do It', and it was originally released as part of 'Private Stories' video #18. Ironically, I first saw 'Seduction Cinema' in a London sex cinema when the scene was still in its original format as a 'Private Stories' video release. Unfortunately there was no Karen around at the time to take care of me as I gazed up at the big screen. Alas, my only fellow viewers were a grizzled drunk and a wanking city broker!

It should have been illegal - if only the whole bloody business wasn't illegal in the first place!

Never knew those cinemas existed though. I thought there was only the Astral, still showing censored 70s flicks in the 90s...? There always seemed to be posters with lots of girls with heavy blue eye-shadow. If these places showed Private vids, blown up on the big screen, surely the picture quality was pretty grotty? And did people openly wank, or cover their laps with a copy of the Evening Standard?

By the way, ever been to the Raymond Revuebar? Closest thing to a live enactment of high-rent porn that I know. I've seen some beautiful girls there, and while the bloke is forbidden to have a full erection, it's still a thrill to see him menace their pretty faces with an alarmingly large semi!



My reply:

Ah, the Astral Cinema... with its faded Mary Millington posters, and grinning ushers in blue evening jackets and natty bow ties, this was a lurid Soho institution!

I chatted to Paul Raymond once, over a drink during the interval at his Revuebar show. He used to see the show regularly and enjoyed hearing feedback from customers, but i haven't been back in several years.

The Soho scene had its own charm, but the London sex cinemas to go to during the 90s were in Islington, Old Street and Kings Cross. At least three of the joints regularly screened Private videos. They were indeed sordid places; and yes, there was a fuzziness to the big-screen projections of pirated copies of the films. (There is, in fact, one nasty little cinema still left in Soho, which I think screens Private movies as well as American stuff. it's right next door to the Revuebar.)

Latterly, my experience of private products has been much improved by on-line consumption using the Private site, and by the new, off-the-shelf availability of original dvds and videos supplied by legitimate means to the licensed sex shops in Soho. All this has offered, at last, a respectable alternative to the legacy of criminality, sleaze, censorhip and copyright infringement which for too long compromised we hard-done-by porn fans in the U.K.

My greatest fantasy would be for the Private company to negotiate successfully with Westminster Council for the opening of a plush Private porn supermarket in Central London, and for the British Board of Film Classification to rate every Private film title there is as 'Resticted 18' so that all the movies could be available for purchase in the supermarket! That would hammer home the final nails in the coffins of both the prude and the parasitic, piratical porn dealer!

My reply:


I like the idea of timing a joint-orgasm to coincide with an on-screen climax. If the scene is a familiar and favourite one, and you're already on the brink of ecstasy at the point you begin to play it, the shared sense of anticipation and effort to stem the tide until the magic moment occurs on-screen is intensely exciting.

I can also understand why pointing to or celebrating favourite snippets of porn on-line, as in this forum, could be a sexy form of foreplay. Deciding what porn to highlight - like choosing candy in a candy store - and referencing those private selections of material in these here columns of cyberspace is a sweet indulgence.

Incidentally, I'm not as old as you might think. the weirdness of paying respects to ye olde sex cinemas of London has less to do with age than with - well, just being a pervy Brit.

I didn't see that episode of Friends, but I'd love to know which of the couples in the show got to watch some porn together...




Originally posted by GregandSarah:

Hey Baskkk, your description on porn as healthy foreplay is perfectly articulated. As for Friends, I recall an episode when Monica bought Chandler a porn video for a Valentine's Day present (accidentally slipping in a live birth video which ruined the mood), but I could have even referenced the one where Chandler & Joey cannot tear themselves away from their apartment because of a cable glitch ("Free porn! Free porn!") or even a Will & Grace episode where Grace decided (before ultimately copping out) that she needed to experience a threesome. Having missed most sitcoms for the last few years my point was just it's funny how accepted porn is for couples even while in some corners of the world--like Utah or, say, London--it's still somewhat taboo. (And no worries, Baskkk, we're not writing you off as neither ancient nor as an overly pervy Brit. After all, isn't the saying, "No sex, please, we're British."?)

Re: Andrea Kalemenova

I’m lucky enough to have an old print copy of Private Magazine #134, and I've just been leafing through the photoset of Andrea Kalemenova - 'I'm A Porno Star'. I'm tempted to take my mag down the road to the Thistle Hotel overlooking Tower Bridge, where this photoshoot was taken, and request the 'Andrea Suite' for a night. Then I could imagine myself there at the shoot while reclining on that very bed! Andrea has a nice, trim body (I notice in one pic she's drinking a can of Diet Coke from the mini-bar, presumably taking care over her figure!). She has a basically sweet and girlish face, but there's also a knowing sassiness and a cunning sexiness in her looks to the camera, which give credence to the assertion in the text story that for five years she's been hiding from her boyfriend the fact that she's a porno star!

It occurs to me, as I hold open my Private #134, that clicking onto mag pages on the computer screen isn't really as much fun as flicking through the same pages bound together on glossy paper, feeling the physical weight of the mag in the hand, and inhaling the intoxicating scent of print while pressing one's nose up against the shiny image of a favourite girl's butt!

Hm. I wonder how much ends up in Private directors' private collections... All that good stuff we'll never see...



My reply:

I take your point, Flashboy. Antonio Adamo is reportedly something of a perfectionist, so i am sure he must have had some good reason for editing out the doggy shot.

In that 'Dangerous Things' scene, I like the head and shoulder shot of Kristina as she looks at us, directly into the camera, while being fucked in the arse. (ref: 1hr. 17 mins. 13 secs. - 15 secs.) It's an example of how, just before the fade, she slightly narrows her eyes, as if a shiver of pleasure is coursing up and down her spine.

In the finale, the blue light effect really matches the colour of her eyes and the creamy spunk looks great against her pale skin.

Kristina looks so soft and vulnerable as that huge black cock invades her sweet girly pussy. And at the climax - god, that guy seems to own a horse's cock. No wonder Kristina needs two hands to milk it. And as we already noted, great cum shot, as the thick, creamy spurts fill her sweet and pretty mouth.

Top marks, Adamo.

Baskkk, my DVD run times don't seem to synch with yours - any chance you can note the run time in the actual scene? e.g. on my DVD, first glimpse of anal penetration occurs at 0 06 17. Or are you working from a video? It's cool to compare notes on those 'special moments'...

Let's start with Sex Opera, one of Adamo's best.

Check out scene one, as beautiful brunette Natasha performs an unexpected deep-throat on the stud's cock (2 25). When he pulls it out there's a strand of pre-cum glistening in the air, linking her gorgeous fashion model face with the pulsing, angry tool (2 27). A second later and she gives one of her trademarked, semi-simpering half-smiles as sperm drips from the glans, before at 2 44 she takes ALL his cock in her mouth in a moment that is still a little shocking. Poor girl - her throat must be absolutely bursting with dong at that point. I've never seen a comparable act in a Private production.

Finally, there's a good climax and nice messy consequences. Look at 10 58 as the cock is pressed against her face and her nose and cheeks have the sheen of freshly unloaded sperm.

She's also on fine form in scene 4, teamed with Lauren Kiss. At 3 11 she gives a coquettish shrug to camera as she feverishly wanks the man-meat - it's a look that says yes, I look like I've stepped from a perfume ad, but who cares, I'm hungry for cum, this hard penis will soon deliver... and YOU'LL be watching.

God, I have the scene on as I type and just seeing her presenting her pretty arse doggy style at 5 29 makes me want to empty my nuts... Look at all those expressions playing on her face, and the way the stud's heavy balls slap against her most tender place at 5 58.

Finally, she tries to fix her gaze on us as she furiously milks the tool, the helmet glistening in her fist. But she tears her eyes away to watch the whip of spunk (10 02), before taking the salty glop on her tongue, needing penis more than she needs us, the frustrated voyeurs.

Viva Private! Viva Adamo! Viva Natasha!



My reply:


An inspired commentary, Flashboy. Believe it or not, Natasha was also going to be my own next choice, and for precisely those qualities. I had in mind Virtualia 1.

In scenes 3 and 8, she has, even more, the face of a perfume ad model, with her slick, gelled-back hair.

Scene 3 - 0.57 - Her look of sexual confidence as she unbuckles and unzips her man. She pouts and licks her lips, and keeps her eyes levelled on the cock as, released, it bobs towards her face.

3.16 - 3.24 - As she draws her hands lightly down the guy's torso, we enjoy the smooth contours of her forearms, then suddenly she releases the cock from inside her mouth, allowing it to nudge her upper lip against her nose while she conspiratorially shifts her gaze to us. She graces us with a perfectly dirty glance while deftly licking the tip of the cock with her snaking pink tongue...

I don't have Virtualia 1, but that does sound fabulous - and I've seen pictures of her in that production. As you say, she looks the epitome of high-gloss, high-maintenance fashion modelling - all the better to be blasted by the filthy cum of some porn-stud. Check her out in The Last Muse, where she has that look to perfection. She truly is an astonishingly sexy bitch - all those girlish giggles and silly but oh so cute pouts and half-smiles as she's being fucked or sodomised - and I wish she were still in the game. Where is she now, I wonder? The new face of L'Oreal?



My reply:


'Virtualia 1 - Cybersex' is certainly a worthwhile purchase. I once watched Natasha's scenes in Cybersex with a friend who complained that this model's facial choreography in the heat of the action was "so fake", and he expressed a preference for the warts-and-all authenticity of so-called amateur porn. Each to their own, I suppose; but for me it's the stylisation that gives the performance its appeal, and I agree with you that the pantomimic coquettery in Natasha's repertoire of facial expressions to the camera while having sex is what makes her scenes special. She is parodying a fantasy image at precisely the moment in which she fulfils it!

The question of how far the credit for this must go to Adamo is a live one. I once saw a scene shared between Natasha and Lynn Stone (Natasha's co-star in Cybersex chapter 8 ) which was directed by someone else for another company, and with weaker production values all round. In that, neither girl had much of the look and performance style that we've been celebrating.

Should you ever acquire 'Virtualia 1: Cybersex' check out chapter 8, 5.08 - 5.20. This is a close-up sequence of Natasha blowing and wanking a cock, which I often capture in a dvd repeat loop (while listening, incidentally, to Paula Abdul's similarly plastic 'State of Attraction', also in repeat mode, from her 'Forever Your Girl' album - a somehow effective combination and, yes, I know I have an obsessive personality!).

In these few seconds Natasha gives us the works, facially: her luxuriant sucking while in sleek profile; her subtle tongue-play with the strings of pre-cum mixed with her own saliva; the mischievous slight shrug of her shoulder as she turns her gaze to the camera; the toothy smile to us while she's wanking cock; her licking of her upper lip; her mouth opened wide at us in a mock expression of happy exclamation; a cute pout mixing into a half-smile as she flashes her eyes at us in teasing rapport! exquisite!

I'm off to look at my 'The Last Muse' now...

Spot on, though, and let's give full credit to Adamo, who always coaxes a schlong-troubling performance out of her. She appears in Private XXX 15, too, as a porn star who magically materialises beside the lonesome masturbator watching her on television. They then proceed to rut, with Natasha taking cock while her own image flickers on a screen (now that's a postmodern conceit, and one which obviously appeals to Adamo as it turns up in a few of his productions).

Check out 8 23 as Adamo seems to use a special (fish eye?) lens to emphasise her pleasantly plump bottom, affording us a brief and tempting view of her anus as a cock prepares to menace it, and also 10 14 for a pleasing view between her thighs as she is taken spoons-style (her labia are emphasised at 10 34).

Aside from Natasha, I can't wholeheartedly recommend XXX 15. The rest of it is very much Private by numbers - there's another Adamo scene in some gilt-edged fancy room but its erotic wattage is low; there's a perfectly pleasant scene with Mercedes in a barn, mostly memorable for her large breasts and the hypnotic way in which they whirl as she ruts. As I recall, the rest is behind-the-scenes filler and doubtless a dismal, garish Kovi scene or two...



My reply:


I don't yet have Private xxx 15, but that description of Adamo's chapter with Natasha will certainly tempt me to get it.
