Marie Luv's Go Hard or Go Home Review

Bonus Scene

In the years she's been toiling in porn, Marie has picked up a few kinks. In this bonus scene she gets to work some of them out with Black Orpheus. Standing close to a torture wheel and bound securely all over her body, Marie gets teased with a sharp looking sword. It runs tantalizingly close over her body, threatening to cut, but just falling short. She's turned and spanked rhythmically by her dark master, not hard but still menacing. Lifted with a choke and brought to her knees as she feels faint, then choked some more till she's semi conscious. Orpheus feels up her sleek body and gives Marie a pussy wedgie with the ropes. He gives her a more severe spanking and chokes her with the rope around her neck. Finger banging followed by spanking has Marie squealing and moaning. Another choke out leaves her prone on the floor, and more sword play along her body sends chills through her. Cut to a now unbound Marie holding onto the wheel while two cat-o-nine tails work over her butt in an almost musical rhythm. Orpheus works up and down her back, finally wielding just one flogger and putting some weight behind his strokes as Marie sticks her ass out after each solid hit. He plays with her pussy a little and goes back to teasing strokes that build in intensity. Another choke out stiffens her body. A submissive Marie politely petitions for more from her master, and gets it. He regulates her wind, then spanks Marie's pussy till she's howling. Another request for more keeps Orpheus at her throat, then a cut to Marie sitting, facing the wheel, in wait for her next torture, this time by fire. Orpheus runs a torch along her back, followed by what I guess is a cool, wet towel. Her body is trembling in the combined ecstasy and pain, and Marie has a sweaty glow in this very darkly lit sequence. He works the front, which elicits an even greater response from Marie. Flames licking at her hot pussy get her screaming "Yes, yes, yes!", then it gets even better for Marie as Orpheus plants a magic wand on her muff while still administering the fire. A gut wrenching orgasm leaves her whimpering and heaving. A post orgasmic spanking has Marie crumpling into Orpheus arms. Another choke out precedes the next discipline, this time hot wax. I know Marie likes this, having taken to it when Justine Joli ravaged her for Girlfriend Films. Orpheus streaks her torso, being very careful not to expose her vagina. He covers her till she's glazed like a cinebun, then takes a sharp knife to peel it off. After being shaved clean of the paraffin, Marie waves good-bye.
I had great anticipation for this scene, even though there's no penetrative sex involved. Marie was very into it and clearly came several times. I think she might have missed an opportunity to put things on an even higher plane, as the post torture victim would be ripe for a little gangbang action. Just a thought, but a good extra for this video.

Epilogue Marie Luv starts off her directorial career with a lot of promise, and a lot yet to learn. It has been noted by others that the sound is very uneven, and that's a fact. Some of the setups were almost inaudible, effectively neutering them. Also, Marie's newfound love of women seems to have led her to overload the video with f/f/m scenes, and could be viewed as going to the well too many times. On the plus side of that particular equation is that each of the scenes worked really well, and Marie went for some true grit, filming some less camera friendly lez loving as opposed to the familiar tongue dances that are usually present in these scenes. Women actually digging their tongues into pussies and the camera capturing the reaction was far superior. She also managed to insert some subtle kink in each scene, if not an out and out circus act fairly tastefully delivered.
Marie's scene with Manuel seemed like she was trying too hard to prove how hard she likes it, and the chemistry these two usually have was a casualty. Avy Scott was delicious and Julia Ann reached into her old bag of tricks to put on a good show. The threesome with Alexis Texas and Mr. Pete maintained a lot of heat all 'round, but the set piece is the final scene with Stacie Lane and Justin Slayer. Physicality and passion, athleticism, and the right amount of nasty combined for a non stop porn circus that felt like it could go on forever. Stacie's definitely one to keep an eye on.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Marie's present physical profile, and believe me, it pains me to say it. She appears to have been losing weight for at least the last year or so, and at this point is dangerously close to needing an intervention. A few years ago I would have argued that Marie Luv was easily among the upper ten percent of women in porn, regardless of race or continent. Even if she wasn't getting her just due from critics or the industry, she still managed to get on a slew of box covers because of her natural beauty and killer body. Now she's looking unhealthy with hollowed cheeks that make her teeth look too big for her mouth, and loose skin around her once ripped abdomen. Marie had an ass that was never big, but firm and shapely, now almost non existent, although miraculously, her breasts look amazing and she still has energy to spare. If there's any one major thing that detracts from the video, besides sound issues, that's it. I hope she works on turning that around before going any further with her career, in front or behind the camera.
