Tristan Taormino's Rough Sex - dvd by Vivid - review by missmandy27

My boyfriend ordered this video and he seemed pretty psyched to get it. I read the back cover and thought, "Okay, this may be interesting to watch". My intention was to get a head start while he was in the shower and I must say I was disappointed from the very beginning. I am a firm believer in never having to fast forward through a porno and unfortunately that is exactly what I did.

It starts out with these 5 chicks talking about their fantasies about rough sex, the different scenarios they'd like to be in and blah, blah, blah. I fast forwarded through that because I was not really interested in their speeches. I could have probably figured out what they liked by just watching them do it. Each scene started out with the gal and the guy talking about the logistics of the fantasy; exasperation of words that were, to me, not needed. It seemed to me that is was a version of a How To video instead of one for pure entertainment.

Here’s an example of my displeasure with the production of this video. In the first scene, after skipping all the verbiage, you have nice curvy Marie in the shower. Granted, not a very boner erecting scene, but still worthy of a nod. Then Marco comes in pretending to be an intruder and is very demanding of her. This is where it falls down hill for me. The camera angles were all over the place and not at all flattering to the two performers. Also, they weren’t really rough. Sure he slapped her ass a few times and “made” her suck his dick, but nothing that would warrant in my vocabulary as rough. And Marco’s facial expressions were just way over the top; over dramatization never makes for good porn. Now toward the end of this scene there was some hair pulling, but that only registered in my mind as a light tug. I had rougher sex than that the other night. The spanking was so hard that it left bruises. Don’t worry, I welcome it. It’s like visible memories of great sex that no one else can see.

The second scene was a little better; cuter guy and the ass slaps and physical rough nature of him pulling and whipping her around actually left impressions of his hands on her body. And by the third scene I was bored and decided to have sex with my boyfriend. It’s not that the video got us in the mood enough, it’s just that I was getting bored and having sex at the moment seemed to be the best choice.

My advice is, if you like your adult videos with a lot of talking, then by all means get this. However, if you’re like my boyfriend and I, and you want something that goes right to the action and it’s the action that’s promised by the title and cover, then this video is not for you.

Needless to say, this video isn't watched as much as others are. I think this is a good idea for those just starting out, but not for those who are familiar with or trying to advance their kinky factor.
