Ben Dover's Anal Adventures Review

Reviewed by The magus  on  6/6/2003

The death of Gonzo is near, that is the Gonzo that recognized the camera as a participant, and used the cameraman as an alter-ego guide through a series of sexual mis-adventures. Buttman perfected the concept, and the Enlishman Ben Dover (Steve Perry) was his #1 protege.

There were trips to livery stables, airports, train stations, the north of England, to the european mainland, all over the place, even to America to visit his Idol. The scenarios usually involved some serious seduction, arm pulling and the like for the demure english girls to agree to get fucked on camera. And then once the camera started rolling, they turned into filthy sex sluts.

But, alas, no more. Ben has succumbed to the pressures of the all-sex and nothing but sex clamor, and now we go right to the butt-fucking without hardly a how-do-you-do. The truth to be told, Buttman himself has pretty much given up on the concept. At least he has his ass worship fetish to fall back on.

Ben seems kind of pathetically lost. No more sense of adventure, or comical interaction between him and the performers. And his performers are glaringly lacking in the looks department, always have been, but it never used to be a great problem. It is now, and this series has hit rock bottom.

Jamie Woods, who later came to American porn, is the only reason to watch the video at all. She is surprisingly subdued, and Ben has to coax her to provide a bit of the filthy talk for which she is notorious on this side of the pond. British Air Lines must be providing dirty talk tutors on the flight over, because once here all the British girls start talking the filthiest trash imaginable.

Ben does have an impressive backlog of titles available. I would recommend Alley Cats to see what true Gonzo was about. Skip this one.
