Straight Man Porn

After two decades as a boutique British porn label, JoyBear Pictures has recently been playfully mocking the hand that feeds it, namely prevailing cliches that dominate in porn scenarios. This time around, we have a straight guy hired by a new women's website to write erotica, and he narrates as he presents and rewrites his porn stories to make them more real and less corny.

Problem with the movie is that JoyBear's creative team wants to have it both ways: pretending to rise above and comment on the industry's crassness but delivering the same cliches in its "critical" movie. Insincere methinks.

Dedicated to the art of pantomime porn, JoyBear usually features a female narrator in place of dialogue, delivered by a voice artiste, but this time the lead protagonist Jeff (played by Marcus Quillan) handles his own narration. He also gets to participate in two sex vignettes, and oddly enough he wears a condom while the rest of the male cast goes bareback. Go figure.

A couple of redheads in the cast impress: fetish artiste Zara DuRose playing a lady who needs a man to satisfy her rather than just himself, so she hires a male prostitute Sensi to go down on her, for some quality IR content. Newcomer named Loveday is the other redhead who is Jeff's neighbor and helps him with writing a lesbian scene, only to very cornily have sex with him in the show's final vignette.

This is Couples Romance at its fluffiest.
