Adult DVD Review: Jenna Loves Pain
Sometimes when I review a movie, the subject matter is not
necessarily something I'm into. So in those cases I just try to
present the material as it was presented to me (when I viewed
it) and let the reader who is interested in said sexual activity
be the final judge as to whether the material is for him or her.
That being said , I think I can definitely say without
hesitation that Jenna Loves Pain (at
http://www.sextoysex.com/sex/start/view.html?a=buyad&pnum=VIV9604
0) is more (or equally as) erotic and sensual than overtly
sexual. Sure there are blatant sexual parts to the DVD, but not
as much as in your basic adult run-of-the-mill fare. In other
words, it's more of a chick-flick as far as porn is concerned.
And that's a bold assertion considering that the movie is
basically a gonzo production, which is not really a female fan
favorite. There are certain narrative elements to the piece as
told by Jenna Jameson's (the main character as you can tell from
the title) entries into her personal diary. But that's as far as
any semblance of a storyline goes. There are four BDSM scenes
that for the most part follow one right after the other.
Let me start by saying, the production values are excellent: the
sound is great; and the lighting, the mood, and the camera shots
are picture-perfect. It's very good to look at. But the movie
gets a little too cute for its own good sometimes, with the
slow-motion tracks, the intentional blurring effects, and the
occasional change to black-and-white footage. Like I said, Pain
is definitely a "Porn for Women" niche film.
I will , in describing the sex scenes, leave out some of the
lesser minutiae for the perspective viewer to discover himself
or herself. It's more fun for you that way, and trust me there
are some things to discover. (All I will say at this juncture is
watch out for the clothespins. :))
The first scene involves Jameson and Fujiko Kano, the latter
being in a submissive role (I think she plays Jameson's
servant). Kano is bound, bent over Jameson's knee, and beaten
with a hairbrush. And then things start to heat up...Throughout
the scene, Kano is made to orally satisfy various parts of
Jameson's body. As I've intimated already, Jameson is totally in
control in this scene, something you've all seen before with
regularity in Jameson's previous girl-girl scenes (ho-hum). This
scene is, as I like to say, just Jenna-being-Jenna.
In the next episode of Jenna Loves Pain , Nina Hartley plays
domme to a submissive Amber Michaels. Hartley looks as if she
was born to do this. She whips Michaels like it's the most
natural thing in the world - much like a cook in the kitchen
baking a familiar recipe. She seems to be very much in her
element and very adept at what she does.
And Michaels for her part sits/lies/grovels/kneels/bends-over
there like a good little soldier. She moans and yells throughout
the whole scene, and you as the viewer cannot tell whether she's
doing it out of pleasure or pain. And at the risk of casting
sadistic aspersions, I would think the average viewer doesn't
care: it's hot either way.
One thing very likable about this scene is that the producers
keep the glam, artsy stuff to a bare minimum.
And then we have sexcapade three...Like I said before, I've seen
Jameson in many lesbian scenes, and when it came down to who was
the domme and who was the femme, she was always the one in
charge. I'd never seen Jameson take a strap-on before, much less
while she was being gagged and bound. Dru Berrymore - Jameson's
scene-mate - basically ties her to the bench here and makes her
(Jameson) perform oral on her strapped-on dildo; then Berrymore
takes said strap-on to her.
It's definitely something you don't see everyday, and it's a
nice change of pace from the usually dominant Jameson.
Personally, this is the scene that put the Jenna Loves Pain DVD
as a whole over the top for me. Up until now, I was beginning to
wonder where the Pain was that Jenna supposedly loved.
The last scene involves Emily Marilyn and Ava Vincent. There's
quite a bit of flogging (again) with the recipient (Vincent, in
this case) in an open, spread-eagle position: first with her
standing up and later with her lying on her back. Jameson joins
the scene later to make the scene merrier (I guess. You know the
old saying...).
That's the movie in a nutshell, but to reiterate, there are lots
of other little surprises and "contraptions" that the average
viewer (who is relatively not familiar to the BDSM sex-style)
can discover. So, what the heck? I say, "Bring the Pain!"
