A while back, I was given the opportunity by Babeland to review The New Romantix*, a porn in the new Babeland Premieres line.  I am not a huge lover of porn (especially anything scripted) but from the description of this video, I hoped I would enjoy The New Romantix.

This hot erotic documentary explores the sexualities of six different women, from industry stars like Joanna Angel and Ryan Keely to nubile newcomers like Lexi Bardot and Avy Lee Roth (yes, the daughter of Mr. California Girls himself).  These women are a different breed of adult film star, undeniably ravishing but still real.

Sounds pretty interesting, doesn’t it?

The interviews:  I was particularly interested in the interview portions of the movie.  I enjoy porn more when the people are real to me.  Sadly, I didn’t care for the interviews as much as I’d hoped.  Perhaps if I’d entered into the viewing of this movie with no expectations of what the interviews might be like, I wouldn’t have been disappointed.

The soundtrack:  I was excited that The New Romantix didn’t have a typical soundtrack.  But at times the music was overwhelming.  The focus of the porn should be the action, not the music.  Still, I appreciated the effort that was made to try something new with the soundtrack.

The talent:  Most of the cast was attractive to me (with the exception of the guy in the Avy Lee Roth scene).  I like my girls a little edgy and there was certainly a bit of that in the movie.  Not your typical cookie-cutter blondes with fake boobs.

The scenes:  Overall, a decent collection of sex scenes.  A few specifics – neither Alec nor I cared for the solo masturbating scene at the start of the movie (which is surprising because Alec usually enjoys that type of thing).  The girl was certainly hot but the action seemed so obviously contrived to us that we just couldn’t get into it.  Again, neither of us cared for the bouncy house scene.  Maybe because we have kids and couldn’t get past thinking about all the germs that must be in that place?  Who knows.  My favorite scene was the threesome that included Lexi Bardot and Joanna Angel – quite sexy.  The infrared closet scene was also pretty hot.  There was a bit of a voyeuristic feel to it.

My overall impression:  I’m a pretty tough customer when it comes to porn so take my opinion with a grain of salt.  I have certainly seen other movies that I disliked more than this one.  But I was unimpressed enough with The New Romantix that I have no desire to watch it again.  Might you like it?  Sure.  There’s no plot (which I do appreciate), the cast is attractive, and the music is not your typical porn fare.  There are redeeming qualities to this video.  Just not enough to get me to watch it again.

* It appears that The New Romantix is not being offered by Babeland at this time.  It can still be purchased (either streamed or actual DVD) directly from The New Romantix website.

I’ll start off by saying I’m not a huge fan of porn.  If all porn were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow (perish the thought!), I wouldn’t shed a tear.  Much of the commercially-produced porn is so ridiculous, I can’t get into it.  The beautiful girls make me self conscious.  Many of the men are downright creepy looking.  And some of the sex acts (pussy slapping?  really?) leave me scratching my head.  But I’ll also admit that there have been times that a sexy video here and there has spiced things up for Hub and me.  So it can’t be all bad, right?

I’ve narrowed down my tastes enough to be able to say that the kind of porn I like features REAL people.  I would much rather watch a mildly attractive real couple having unscripted sex than a perfect 10 man and woman (or two women) acting out scenes.  For me, genuine enjoyment is much more exciting than fantasy sex.  Maybe it’s the voyeur in me that enjoys watching the real people, as if I’m peeking in on their secret, sexy action.  Whatever the reason, to me, real people equals real hot.

Next on my list of Coy Approved Porn would be videos featuring girl-on-girl action.  If those girls happen to not look like the typical porn star (as per my first preference – real people), all the better!  But being that I’m not that in to porn, where do I look to find something that fits the bill?  Amazing husband to the rescue!  If girl-on-girl videos are what his wife wants, girl-on-girl videos are what his wife gets.  Hub’s searching, with my criteria in mind, led him to Abby Winters.  These videos are unscripted sex with pretty but normal looking girls.  Jackpot!  Not long after his discovery, low and behold, The Girl Sessions DVD arrives at my door.  What a sneaky guy he is.  Though I haven’t watched the entire video, I would highly recommend it.

I believe the only remaining category of porn I’d spend my time watching would include:  sex acts I’d like to recreate.  I’m just starting to delve into this area and I think it would be fun to start compiling a “to do” list of favorites.  I must get going with my research!  I’m sure my faithful assistant will have no problem helping me with my investigation.  I posted one favorite the other day in my ’Bits and pieces‘ entry.  The scene involves a very happy looking woman giving a blowjob/handjob to a man that results in cum all over her breasts.  That one should be easy enough to tick off the “to do” list, shouldn’t it?  It also leaves me wondering why haven’t we already done this?  Apparently I’ve been living under a rock where I was unaware of how hot I think cum on tits is.

When it comes to porn, I am a woman of simple tastes:  give me real people, give me girl/girl action, give me actual couples engaging in play I want to recreate with my husband (or another girl).  As Hub and I pick our way through the internet, combing through the vast quantities of sex videos out there, we’ll be sure to share our favorite finds with you.  And if you should have a video that fits my requirements, please send us the link.  After all, it’s only polite to share!
