It all started — doesn’t it always? — with an innocent little kiss:
But one kiss, as the wise will tell you, has the way of leading to more:
In this case, lots more.

Two Stock Porn Views
Fair warning: this might be considered another one of my “overthinking porn” posts in the same family with my Porn Described post.
So, I was looking at yet another Kink.com free sample gallery and finding it to be a perfectly fine specimen of its BDSM type, but somewhat difficult to distinguish from a great many others. It’s commodity porn, to be blunt — good quality, well made, but not really striving for uniqueness of theme.
As I always do, I scanned for shots that struck me as unusual, special, specially good — or to put it another way, different in some positive way. And, as I usually do when I look at a Kink.com photoshoot, I found some.
The trouble is, the two pictures that grabbed my eye were very much what you might consider to be “stock photos” or “standard views”. They are nondescript in a way that will become obvious when I attempt the fruitless exercise of describing them in words, and their “nondescriptness” is a function, I speculate, of their place in the standard pantheon of porn shots. They are so generic, thematically, that the functional words describing them have no power to distinguish them from ten zillion similar pictures.
First, here’s how standard porn-marketing prose would describe these pictures:
Picture One: Dripping wet pussy. Picture Two: He cums on her ass.
You know that I try to avoid stereotypical porn-marketing tropes here on ErosBlog, so let me take another run at these pictures, in slightly more descriptive fashion:
Picture One: “Attractive rear view, from a close low angle, of a woman’s pussy, wet and dripping with lube or her natural juices.” Picture Two: “A man strokes his dick as he finishes ejaculating all over a woman’s taught round bottom.”
Now, at this point, having been presented with viewing links, some of my readers are going to choose to step off the culture bus. I am describing, they might say, commodity porn, nothing special about it, not worth the half-a-dozen paragraphs I’ve wasted on it, utterly banal.
That’s OK with me. The doors are opening, exit to the rear, keep your hands clear of the door. If there’s anybody left, we’ll continue with our tour presentation.
OK, I see we still have a few faces. Moving on: I find I have become, perforce, something of a porn critic. It’s not a lofty or academic avocation, but it’s real — when you spend enough years not just looking at porn, but trying to sort it for quality and interest, you can tell when a pornographer is just phoning it in.
My assertion, then — and if you disagree, you might as well step off the bus and buy yourself an ice cream cone — is that the two sample photos, though utterly pedestrian in their content, are better-than-average in some other way.
And here’s the frustrating thing: I find myself utterly lacking in tools to identify and describe what makes them different or better than your general run of wet pussy and money-shot photos. Is it the lighting? Is it the camera angles? Does Bella Rossi just have a better looking bottom and pussy than your average porn starlet? Is Wolf Hudson’s dick somehow more pleasingly proportioned than average, as if it were a marble column carved under the supervision of legendary Greek geometer-aesthetes?
My ignorance is so profound that I’m not even sure what field I’m being ignorant in. Is this a photography thing? Or is it an art-criticism thing? If I had education in either or both of those fields, would I be able to write a thousand words on why these pictures are special, and have it be something more than empty hand-waving? Or would it still just be one man’s gut opinion, expressed in fancier language than “I like this more than I like that”?
These are the things that haunt you when you look at porn for long enough while burdened with too much of the wrong kind of education.

Everything Butt An Echo
Everything Butt — announced in this space on Saturday — has now gone live, along with another new Kink.com feature I quite like, which is some ability to preview the movie from the shoot before downloading. This last feature contributed to my discovery of something that’s rare in porn: the genuine laugh-out-loud moment.
I won’t spoil it for you. In the movie from the shoot, you’ll see Mark Davis plumbing the surprisingly-capacious and hitherto-unsuspected depths of Kylie Ireland’s anal vicinity. He’s using the “toy” shown in this photo:
She’s bent way over, he’s plumbing away, then suddenly he bends over a little bit himself and says… well, you just have to hear it for yourself. I literally laughed out loud, and then a beat later, so did Kylie — whom you wouldn’t have expected to be in a laughing frame of mind. It’s good dirty fun.

Everything Butt
By now I’ve got something of a history of announcing new sites from Kink.com, so why stop now? The next in the pipeline is an ass-themed site called Everything Butt, which is already “up” with several shoots even though it won’t be formally open and live for a few more days. The site’s marketing copy makes it sound like a full buffet of fetish fun for anybody who enjoys playing with butts:
Everything Butt celebrates ass play in all its forms. Spanking, enemas, fisting, fucking, licking, and sniffing are performed by experienced porn stars and anal virgins too. These beautiful naked women all come to enjoy the smorgasbord of extreme anal antics under the skilled supervision of bondage master Lochai. It’s an exhilarating festival of analingus, Klismaphilia, and no-holds-barred buggery, scientifically designed to induce your expectant salivation. Do you “Yum!” for bum? Then dive in!
In looking over the new site the first thing that struck me was a delightful still photo from the preliminary “model interview” part of one of the shoots:
That’s the lovely and talented Bobbi Starr looking sanguine about those very large implements — and I use the word “talented” in a most considered fashion. (You’ll have to take my word for it unless you join the site or buy the shoot, but it’s true; for now, let me just say…they fit.)
Sadly the usual free sample galleries are not yet live, but I snagged a few pictures of a shower scene to share here. We begin with Aiden Starr and Flower Tucci taking an innocent shower together:
Note the scrunchy-thing! I always thought those were some sort of shower fungus that’s symbiotic with women, because they started accumulating in my bathroom (the scrunchy things, that is, not women) right after The Nymph moved in with me. But apparently, it’s for washing with. Who knew?
Moving on, the ladies decide to put on a little display of soapy bottoms:
And then we move on to the double-enema portion of our program. Apparently if you want to get really clean, showering together just isn’t enough any more:
And here’s the Everything Butt logo:
Nice, eh?

Cheerleader Upskirts
The knowledge that these pictures are from the oh-so-innocent introduction to a steamy lesbian BDSM / dungeon fantasy detracts nothing from the harmless all-American pleasure of a nice low-angle closeup on a practicing cheerleader:
