We have another first here on the blog! I’m going to be reviewing a porno for the very first time!
Now, full disclosure, porn hasn’t always been my thing. I do occasionally watch some DVDs that I had laying around the house, but it’s not really a go to for my masturbation sessions. This porn, however, is very different. I actually requested this DVD for review. Because, you see, this isn’t just any old porno, it’s the newest edition of…
This movie is different than any other porno I’ve ever seen, and I definitely want to go out and get the first two volumes of the series to watch with my fiance! But before I get too carried away (yeah right, like that will ever happen) let me back up and start at the beginning…
Buck Angel is an adult film star, head of his own production company, and a transman! He fights for trans rights and puts out the most awesome PSAs about body acceptance and trans health issues. So it’s probably not all that surprising that his porn has an educational spin to it!
The Sexing the Transman DVD has 5 scenes, three couples and two solo scenes. Each scene starts out with Buck interviewing the performer(s). They talk about, among other things, sexuality, transitioning and just trans life in general.
These interviews are so cool and provide real insights into what it’s like to be a transperson. Surprise! Trans people have sex too! And if the DVD is anything to judge by, they have really hot sex!
At first I was a bit unsure about how to approach this review. Should I break the DVD down and review each scene one at a time? Or should I just put down my impressions of the film as a whole? Both seemed like viable options, and so in the end (in the spirit of true democracy [or something like it]), I decided to do both! I’m going to talk about why this movie as a whole is awesome (spoiler alert: I loved it!), and I’m also going to give some highlights from my favorite scenes. So let’s get started, shall we?
Back to the solo-scene with Dicky, who lives his life as both a man and a woman. (We really need some good gender neutral pronouns, don’t we? Get on that folks, okay?) Like most of the other scenes, this one started a bit slowly, with Buck coaxing Dicky into first taking off his shirt, and then getting progressively more naked. (Spoiler alert: naked is good). And then there was clit-pumping! Which I had honestly never seen before. How I’ve gotten to the ripe old age of *insert age here* without ever seeing a good old-fashioned clit pumping, I don’t know. But I’m going to try to see more, that’s for sure! It’s a little like watching someone jack off with a crystal clear Fleshlight (which I would also like to see), and it was pretty damned hot! (Though I wasn’t a fan of the spitting… ew).
And now for the grand finale: Buck and Sean! Yes, that’s Buck as in Buck Angel, the man behind all of this madness. Unlike the other scenes, this one didn’t start with an interview (probably because Buck was too busy fucking :oD), but rather just jumped straight into gay porn! Yay! My favorite! So much manly fucking, I could plotz! Yum. Although I could do without the very manly groaning, it was nice to see that everyone was at least having an excellent time! I think that the biggest difference between this DVD and mainstream hetero porn, is that here all of the performers seem to actually be enjoying themselves! What a novel concept! (more please!) Buck clearly enjoys being fucked! Also: Sean wears a condom throughout the scene! Yay for showcasing some really hot safe-sex! Way to go guys! This last scenes was the most “hard-core” of all of them. With tons of hard pussy-pounding and dirty talking (and grunting, so much grunting). It was a lot of fun to watch, and the one that I’m going to be getting my self off to many more times in the future!
Overall, this DVD was both hot and educational! Pornucational! (see what I did there?) Honestly, my favorite part of every scene was the interview. I loved hearing about the performer’s life, transition and sex life. If you just want some straight-up fucking and aren’t interested in listening to the interviews, that’s cool too! You’ll still really love this DVD, (here’s a hint: you can fast-forward past the talking bits if that’s what you want) but you’ll be missing out on some of the best bits.
Would I recommend this DVD? The answer is emphatically: YES. This is a must-have DVD for anyone’s collection, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a bit of a pack-rat. I actually threw out my other porn once I got Sexing the Transman. And if that’s not the best recommendation ever, I don’t know what is. :o)
