My Plaything: Jenna Jameson by Digital Sin - review by Starlight Requiem

The DVD Case
The case features the lovely Jenna on the cover. The back is like most porn DVDs, albeit with a lack of pictures for what is inside, and more on the way of details regarding the so-called "special features" that are included. It calls itself the "most advanced sex simulator in the world". Lie #1. You are in complete control as she teases, strips, and virtually clings to you with every move. Lie #2. Loaded with extras to further enhance. Uh..no?

Immersion
This product is designed to lure men in with the promise of getting to screw a porn star. Or at least, to help you to imagine that you are doing that. I imagine this as being an item mostly appealing to single men. If you are part of a couple and you want to buy this, my recommendation is to smack yourself on the hand, stop, and go make love to your partner. You'll definitely get more out of it.

While porn, in general, is supposed to arouse you, this DVD has the extra task of immersion. That is, to immerse you in things and make you actually believe that you are involved in what is going on. Does it do that? Yes, and at the same time a resounding NO!

The main problem is the controls. Most of the things you can do are by clicking a button on screen, whether with your DVD remote or mouse, if you are watching via the PC. Oddly enough, there is not a button for the multiple angles. (Enough for me to slap the "Are you stupid?" sign of Bill Engvall on whoever was in charge of the DVD design.) Sadly, that is not the only problems that crop up with this DVD. Rather than list them all now, I will be pointing them out over the course of the review.

Tease
Upon loading up the DVD, four options are given. Tease being the natural place to start. Jenna is there on a couch in her little slinky bra and panties. You get to decide between her tits, pussy, and ass. Sounds good, right? Only the teasing sucks. Whichever body part you choose, it is fully exposed in the first 30 seconds.

Hardly what I'd call teasing. I don't know who to blame on this one. Whether Jenna was left to her own devices, or someone scripted what she was doing. Either way, there is very little in the way of actual teasing. If I were a woman, I kind of think I'd be offended that this makes it seem like the only way a woman can tease is by showing off her goods, when there is so much more that could be done. The other irritating part of this is that for ass and pussy, she is fingering herself. It might be nitpicking, but why the hell wouldn't that be placed in the "Masturbation" section to allow for more teasing here?

Masturbation
Oh joy, it's time for Jenna to play with herself. But wait a second...how did we get to the bathroom??

Immersion: It seems that every major area of the DVD is located in a different place. But my problem is that there is no lead-in segment beforehand. If she's going to get naked and wet in the bathtub and masturbate, at least put a damn 20 second clip of her taking "your" hand and leading you to the bath, and telling you in a sexy voice how she wants to get in the tub with you. That would have been sexy.

The options for Masturbate are rather plain and one-sided. She can finger her pussy, use a vibe on it, or stuff a dildo up her ass. That's it. But she's supposed to be my plaything. Why the hell isn't there an option to have her stroking a cock??

Foreplay
Okay, so third up is Foreplay. And here, things are kind of split between bad and good. It's extremely limited, in the only options are to finger, dildo, or tongue her pussy. (Dildo? Didn't we just see that in Masturbate...?)

Immersion: So the first thing that pops up when you select foreplay is fingering. But...that's not a man's hand. When did a woman sneak in here and start fingering Jenna? I wanted to finger Jenna. I dunno about you guys, but really, can you imagine that is you fingering her, when the fingers have long nails and are obviously feminine? Oh yeah..we are in a new room, new outfit, still no explanation. Joy. Dildo is the same way, only instead of Jenna holding it, it's the "ghost woman" who is in the room with you. It's not as bad as fingering, because you don't see the hand as often.

Foreplay(cont)
The good bit here is the tongue action. The camera gets right down in between her legs and you can look up at her face as the screen bobs. (Kind of funny though...I've eaten a lot of pussy, and I swear I've never had that kind of bobble-head action going on down there.) Of course, you never actually see a tongue making contact with her pussy. Which begs the question yet again...what the hell? Surely they could have worked out an angle to show a tongue working her over. Instead the second option here is a shot looking down on her from above.

Sex
Hot damn. I finally get to screw a por....hey...why is there a woman screwing MY PLAYTHING with a strap-on dick? I have my own...I wanted to do her with it.

Immersion: Yet again, and perhaps the single most GLARING flaw in this DVD, is that there is no male in it. It's a woman fucking Jenna with a fake cock. How the hell is she my plaything, when it's a woman playing with her? It's not made for bisexual women or lesbians, because she keeps talking about wanting my cock. But hey...the group making it seems to delight in acting like amateurs, so let's continue.

Four positions; missionary, doggie, cowgirl, and reverse cowgirl. If you are expecting anal, forget about it. Like the foreplay scenes, her pussy is all you get here. Which was kind of a moron move, anal would have been good for at least two of the four positions. And variety is always nice.

The camera work here is kind of crappy as well. I mean, honestly, the first angle is supposed to be a POV. But in missionary, it is anything but. If I was screwing Jenna like that, I'd probably be about 2ft closer. But the camera position makes it look almost like she is taking it from an 8ft giant.

Camera Angles, Bonus Content
In all, the camera angles are great at some points. Eating her pussy, getting in close when she uses a sex toy. But then you have some angles that just leave you asking...why?

Naughty & Nice is supposedly a big selling point. But frankly there is little difference in the degree of the two. In watching it, I felt like Nice was a rating of 5, while Naughty was maybe 6 or 7. It just didn't make it worth the effort of pushing the button.

Cum on Q is decent, in that you can make her cum a variety of ways. And variety is always good in a product like this.

Hands On lets you get your "hands" on Jenna. You can play with her ass, tits, legs, or feet. And OMG, it's actually a man doing it this time. Why the hell wasn't he in the main picture??? When comparing the two...to be honest the Hands On is a better tease option than the stuff shown in Tease.

Pleasure Center doesn't really seem worth mentioning. Three speeds, orgasm is the same no matter the speed. Bleh.
