Two volumes of glossy vignette-based porn shot in lush tropical hotspots make up this box set. However, when Hustler say "collector's edition box set" what they really mean is "the regular discs plus a cardboard box". Great. Sorry, no colour booklets, posters or enticing freebies here.

But that's a side issue - what should tempt you to part with the readies is the superb procession of gorgeous girls having sex in stunning locations, delivered as reliably as always by Pierre Woodman. As to whether this is an attempt to recreate halcyon days of Private for Pierre's current paymaster Larry or whether this represents top quality in the Woodman canon, it's best to ask a man who knows. For an outstanding personal reflection on Exxxotica and how it fits into the Woodman world, check out Sbando Boy's review. Hey, wait a minute and read my review first! As this is a somewhat lengthy affair, you may choose to read on, jump to Exxxotica 2 or the conclusion.

Exxxotica 1

Drimla - Bali
I've commented on it before and I am not alone in being mystified by the way Hustler sources this "exotic" European porn and then overdubs it all with dumb American accents. But then I bet Larry Flynt is the kind of guy who puts ketchup on caviar. Still, this looks good - beachcombers Pascal and Bob are beckoned to a cliff top spot for a sun-kissed sex session with the decidedly exotic Drimla, a dusky Hungarian beauty with genuine supermodel looks and a long lean figure to match.

Hands soon wander up her sarong as the lads waste little time in getting their filthy paws all over her fabulous form. She readily takes cock in her mouth and then in her twat too as Pascal nails her in doggy. Essentially the sex takes the form of the guys taking turns at fucking or being sucked, and though there's no anal the reasonable heat doesn't just come from the tropical sun. In the end, Drimla tries to stroke Pascal off into her sweet mouth and misses - Bob fares better but his load is weak. Dazzling Drimla has done more work for Woodman since this (e.g. Arsenic) and I saw her last in Christoph Clark's Beautiful Girls 8. She is absolutely stunning, no doubt, though I'm not sure this scene shows her to best effect.

Angel - The Seychelles
Angel is an indecently cute young blonde, here with her hair in plaited bunches that accentuate her youthful looks. She also has a simply outstanding pair of boobs - she's one of those "skinny girls with tits that sit up and say hello!" No, make that scream for attention. Wow. Angel and Alain drive to a hillside beauty spot, overlooking more azure ocean, where they find Titof sunbathing nude and begin a three-way. It's rather annoying that the decent heat that sparks up as the fellows kiss and paw at the highly responsive young lass is ignored by Woodman in favour of jumping to a shot of everyone nekkid, fucking and sucking.

However, I can't complain too much as Angel does look such a treat with her little button nose twitching as she sucks a cock as though it were a lollipop. And her body really is remarkable; the sight of those stunning tits lightly covered in a sheen of sweet sweat is something else. Yum. Alain and Titof supply her with a stiff dicking in all holes, Titof and Angel 69 while Alain fucks her ass (which is very trusting of Titof - one slip of Alain's dick…it doesn't bear thinking about!) and there's even a brief DP before Alain leaps up to shoot rather weakly on her face. Titof also dribbles a modest wad in the general direction of her features, but it matters not as one naughty glance from this super little sexpot, as she lewdly sucks their cocks clean, is enough to save the situation.

Pokahontas - Bali

It's back to Indonesia for this scene on a dramatic shore (though I must say Woodman's framing in this movie often fails to capture the best of these locations, like Pierre made little attempt to find the best spots or work out the best shots). This one is good though, as the charming, raven-haired Pokahontas and her boy Greg end up on the sands, kissing and canoodling. Woodman again chooses to abruptly end the passion, cutting straight to a shot of Pokahontas, on her knees, sucking cock. It's not the worst editing choice Pierre could make - the lines of her slender yet curvy form are quite stunning in this position.

This being a beach scene, where the sand does get literally everywhere, my enjoyment of the action is marred as I wince every time Greg jams a sand-encrusted digit or dick into Pokahontas' tender spots. That just can't be comfortable, can it? This could explain her less than ecstatic reactions, though whatever sounds she makes are mainly carried away on the breeze, which does set her beautiful hair swaying as she fucks. It looks good but it's not really my thing. Nice rainbow, though. Greg tries to pop in her mouth, but fails. It's that kind of scene, I think - close, but no cigar. Incidentally, Pokahontas doesn't look like the girl of that name from Gladiator, but then again, how many Native Americans are there in Hungary anyway?

Electra - Kauai, Hawaii
Amid a tropical downpour and surrounded by lush greenery, impressively curvy redhead Electra gets into a smouldering clinch with muscleman Bob. For once Pierre lets the tasty kissing run its course till Bob naturally works his way down, slipping off her sarong and tonguing her twat. There are some really great shots here of her sexy form as rain cascades over her curves and she drops down to suck Bob's cock.

It's actually just as well that her physique is something special to see, no matter the position, as the sex itself is solid but unspectacular. From standing doggy to spoons and quite a lot of anal in cowgirl and the reverse thereof, there's plenty of physical effort but no real connection between the two. Pleasant enough to watch, though, and it all ends with Bob laying her down, fucking her ass some more and then popping on her mouth. The old romantic! Electra's in the likes of No Limits from Nacho, but she looks better here, even with red hair!

Nikolett - The Seychelles
Blue skies, crystal waters, white sands - the ideal setting for a boat trip that's really just an excuse for Titof and Akim to get their paws on the luscious form of another young lovely. This time it's amply endowed, sweet-faced brunette Nikolett. As the boat cuts through the azure sea, Alain helps her out of her bikini and helps himself to the use of her mouth. Titof is compelled to join in, though I wonder who's steering the boat? The chaps top and tail her, and though the sex I a gain quite routine, the views are spectacular: her sumptuous suntanned physique with its ample curves and superb, substantial bum. Delicious!

The fucking proceeds as the boat enters increasingly choppy seas, so perhaps it's not just the brief DP that's making Nikolett look uncomfortable. She's treated to some so-so anal action with oral too, but you just have to love those glorious, glistening curves all spread out in the sun, a Titian-esque vision of abundant feminine sensuality. The men treat her with suitable reverence and spunk weakly on her face. Nikolett is also in Orgy World 3 (highly recommended) and True Anal Stories 18, among others.

Sabrine Maui - Kauai, Hawaii
For some obscure reason, the lovely hula girl Sabrine is brushing her hair in a clearing by a waterfall in the verdant Hawaiian forest when jogger Pascal happens upon her. Naturally, his overwhelming French masculinity sweeps her off her feet when she sees him swimming and they get into a spicy clinch on the rocks as the foaming water gurgles in the background. Pascal paws at the petite girl and she seeks out his cock to suck him up to size - there's a great shot of her firm buttocks as she does so.

Sabrine still has a garland of flowers around her neck as Pascal takes her from behind, his insistent thrusts making her moan. This sex action continues with cowgirl in another tropical shower, but Sabrine's enthusiasm is unabated as she proceeds to ride Pascal, with his dick lodged in her pussy and then her tight ass. It looks like Pascal is doing everything to distract himself from the effect this sweet but sexy doll's ass is having! Deep anal in missionary has less of a vibe about it, but the sight of Sabrine letting go a stream of pee as she sucks Pascal is worth sticking around for. Pascal explodes over her tongue and the delectable little darling shares a sweet smile with Pascal and the camera, as come drips from her rosy lips.



Exxxotica 2 top | conclusion
The second edition opens with a prologue which would tend to imply the presence of a story, but that's not the case. This is just a tease for a later scene, with Sabrine Maui nipping down to the beach to sneakily pee, and Yasmine, the infuriating glamour girl, and James strolling along.

Vivienne - Puerto Banus, Spain
The first scene proper is a no-messing affair. Pretty brunette Vivienne is sheltering from the strong sun when Alain introduces her to his pal Bob. Vivienne, a forward girl, introduces herself to Bob's knob. Alain gropes her pussy and she raises her lovely ass so Bob can take her from behind while she moans through a mouthful of Monsieur Deloin's saucisson. Then to spoons with Alain, as Vivienne proves quite a hot and responsive performer. Her body looks especially good, with her buttocks bouncing in cowgirl.

Vivienne whimpers her way through reverse cowgirl anal and there's a very vocal response to the DP and subsequent assaults on her rear end. Bob spunks on her face, and then she uses a hand-mouth combo to get Alain to do likewise, weakly as it happens. She polishes off their pricks with her mouth and looks cheekily pleased with her day's work. In truth, it's a characterless, strictly functional scene for the most part, most notable for her constant groaning.

Drimla and Sophie - Marquesas Islands, Tahiti
What to make of this one? Too much to say, but anyway: Drimla, that dusky, desirable brunette, pairs up with Sophie, a beautiful blonde but a frustrating "girls only" performer, for a boat trip to a remote island, the sole inhabitant of which appears to be eccentric bird-lover JPX. Innuendo abounds courtesy of dubbed dialogue, as the odd guy promises to show them the most interesting bone on the island. How amusing.

So off we go, with a great look at Drimla's fab body as she kneels to suck cock. She's so trim and taut and absolutely delectable. But what happens in the rest of the scene is a source of delight and frustration, as the mediocrity of the sex is only alleviated by the constant camera moves that keep filling the screen with the duo's delicious bodies (colourful little dresses come off early - it's naked tanned skin all the way) which. That, and the fact the incoming tide threatens to sweep the trio away. The frustration I mentioned is that not only does Sophie only play with Drimla, this play is utterly pointless, tongue flicking nonsense.

Sophie is only there as delicious decoration, no more, as Drimla takes it in the bum this time, and sucks and wanks JPX to completion in the foaming waves. Drimla doesn't even laugh as the waves knock her over - she takes it all terribly seriously, or so it seems, there's no sense of fun or pleasure and I can't help feeling she looks like this stuff is really all beneath her. JPX isn't the most handsome stud on the block either, so that can't help. They are two gorgeous girls, possibly not shown to their best, but it's a weak scene sexually.

Alicia - Mount Yunque, Puerto Rico

This sexy young brunette, with a wicked glint in her icy-blue eyes, is picked up by a carload of lads (Titof, Alain, Bob). Dressed as she is in skimpy top and shorts with characteristic big handbag (!), I wonder how many kerb-crawlers she expects on a mountain roadside? The guys take her to a beauty spot where you can see the forests under a canopy of mists on this dull day. Still, there's something to brighten the view as the guys get their hands all over her and show the real reason they brought her here.

Clearly a pushover, she's soon sucking cock while being groped and aided out of her garments, such as they are. She handles and sucks two tools while being fucked from behind, and the long and short of it is that she has her sturdy little ass fucked every which way. She's happy with a cock in her bum and responds much more enthusiastically than the bored-looking guys. Just as well to keep an eye on her then, as she takes lots of anal and a DP or two and finally, naughtily takes come on her face with a cheeky smile to match. Lovely. Unfortunately, there aren't quite enough clear shots of her face to decide whether she's really pretty or not. The scene is also marred by poor picture quality, more on that in the DVD comments below.

Suzie - Qamea Beach, Fiji
Another palm-fringed suntrap captured in sub-standard fashion sees slight, pretty blonde Suzie entice beach boys Bob and Alain by letting go a golden flow on the white sands. The guys are impressed and move in so everyone can reach for each other's naughty bits (strictly heterosexual contact, of course!). Suzie reaches for cock while the boys explore what's under her sarong: pert tits and sweet pussy. She looks quite small and frail being pounded by burly Bob, but she gamely sucks Alain at the same time and he subsequently fucks her in cowgirl, her tidy body and slightly wobbling cheeks on show.

This position becomes a DP, Alain tries her ass solo in reverse cowgirl, and then Bob fills her once more for a second DP. The Terminator pulls out and unloads on her face, Alain, below, closes his eyes and looks like he's praying none lands on him! He gets his turn to spunk - a lot of jerking is require by Alain himself as well as Suzie before this happens. This isn't the worst scene - the action is strong and to the point, and the girl is pretty, of course, but all in all it's quite forgettable.

Sabrine and Yasmine - Hakalau National Forest Reserve, Hawaii
Shot at the same spot where Pascal starts off his run in Sabrine's volume 1 scene, this highly unconvincing scenario involves Sabrine bumping into Yasmine and James at a hillside vantage point. Yasmine comes on to Sabrine in ridiculous fashion, courtesy of more dim-witted dubbing, and the petite, tiny titted girl readily lifts her girlish summer dress and allows Yasmine to limply lap her pussy. Clad in black bra and shorts, olive skinned and heavenly of body, Yasmine is as beautiful as they come but a source of frustration as she not only seems to do girls not boys, she's doesn't even do them very well.

Thank god for the enthusiastic Sabrine, who greedily sucks down James' tool, doing the work of two women as she takes the dick and makes her mouth a permanent fixture on Yasmine's clit. Yasmine finally makes herself a little more useful by kissing, licking and stroking Sabrine as the latter takes James' rod in her tiny backdoor. As a rainbow forms in the valley below, Sabrine squats and lets go a stream of pee that Pierre doesn't capture properly and sucks a sizeable load out of James' dick. It's a hardcore end to a generally lifeless scene - bland music instead of the sex sounds doesn't help either.

Overall
With so much waffling already done, I'll keep this right to the point. Exxxotica is not the premium porn extravaganza Hustler would like you to believe it is. It's done to a standard well below that which is expected from Pierre Woodman, that's for sure. Yes, the girls are gorgeous, and yes, the settings are magnificent. However, these factors are undermined as slapdash shooting and indifferent choice of location often fails to make the most of the girls and the scenery. It's also disappointing that this isn't even a feature, just another collection of vignettes which make the lush backdrops as incidental as studio scenery.

It's almost like Pierre's saying, "here's the girl, here's the scenery, now…let's get on with the fucking!" like that is all that matters. And even if that is all that matters, in truth he doesn't really get that right a lot of the time - the horrendous thought is that this is quite bland, which is hardly a word I'd ever associate with Pierre Woodman. As a man apparently obsessed with getting girls to perform anal sex, it's perplexing that he bothers with the likes of Sophie and Yasmine, though I am not really complaining - they are gorgeous and I'd rather see them washing the dishes than watch hardcore sex with some of the so-called talent I've been "treated" to elsewhere. So the final word is that Exxxotica, as a box set, isn't the premium product it purports to be, isn't even top class Woodman and is still better than the average. Just. I can imagine, however, that it's a disappointment for Woodman aficionados and could be for the more general porn fan too - at around $22 up to around $30 online it's good value for money, but the following needs consideration too…

DVD Comments
The picture quality on the first disc was just about okay, even if it suffers from that slightly dark, over-saturated look that's not uncommon to Woodman's movies, especially since the switch to Hustler. However, the second disc is particularly poor. It's clearly over-compressed, with visible blocking and weak colour. Also, it's often blurred and seriously lacking sharpness, and at times such a poor overall picture that it looks like a copy from VHS. I'd suggest this is totally unacceptable, Hustler's fault in production rather than source footage most likely, and especially unacceptable when they're promoting this as a premium quality product. From a purely technical visual standpoint, it is nothing of the sort. The sound is okay, though the switch from dubbed dialogue to location sound is particularly noticeable. With only the usual pictures, Woodman interview (a standard clip), and trailers on offer as the extras, Hustler just haven't done enough to fulfil the promise of a "deluxe box set". It's just a cheap repackaging of the discs, nothing more - to brand it as anything more is bordering on the dishonest.
