Throat: A Cautionary Tale Review

Throat: A Cautionary Tale

Sasha, I wanna fuck that beautiful little clit on the back of your throat.
Cum on my cock, cum on my cock, oh, oh, ooooooooh, yessssssss!

Expectations

I loved Sasha Grey's oral-only scenes in Defend our Porn and Babysitters, so I'm pretty excited.

The Sex!!!

The DVD starts with some phone sex ads that you can't skip. This is lame on so many fronts, I can't list them all. Suffice it to say that if you get off in the middle of the movie, and want to pick up again where you ended before, you will need to watch the ads again.

At the end of the phone sex ads, you are treated to an excellent movie . It is both sexy and a well-made film. It doesn't follow the normal porn conventions, so rather than offering a scene-by-scene review, I will sometimes review sequences. This will provide the reader with a less detailed description of the sex acts, but I hope it will give a much better sense of the movie.

Sasha learns to Deep Throat: Sasha Grey, Aliana Love, and Trent Tesoro

Masturbation, Dildo (Vaginal and Deep Throat), BJ (Deep Throat), flashbacks to other sex acts. Sasha takes a job as a stripper and Aliana Love teaches her how to turn on a crowd by deep throating a dildo, and in the process, Sasha gets off for the first time in her life. She later repeats the perfomance for an audience, and then treats her boyfriend to the best blowjob of his life. Aliana is a light-skinned black girl with big tits and a sexy smile. Sasha has done better oral scenes in her life, but that is like saying that John Lennon has written better songs than "Come Together." She and Trent cum together as Trent drops a load down Sasha's throat. There is no visible pop shot.

Penny Flame, Beverly Hills, Voodoo, and many others

2 orgy scenes, followed by BGG. (Titplay, fingering, cunnilingus, missionary, doggie, BJ, anal (missionary), cum on pussy.) Penny plays a detective who checks out the scene of Sasha's mysterious death-- a sex club. She gets turned on watching the orgy, and returns that night. Penny checks out more of the orgy before slipping into a peep both for a wank. Beverly and Voodoo start groping Penny, and the fun begins. In most porn threesomes, two sexy babes work together to satisfy a hard stud. In this scene, Beverly and Voodoo focus their attention on Penny's needs. The scene ends when Voodoo shoots a massive load that covers Beverly with sperm from her slit to her fake boobs. Penny offers a great performance, both dressed as a repressed detetective, and undressed as an unleashed sexual tigress. She has a tight ass and a trimmed bush that sits above puffy pussy lips that were made to fuck.

Sasha and Trent

Kissing, cunnilingus, CG, BJ, doggie, anal (spooning, CG), facial. Sasha look great throughout the scene, and her bubble butt looks fantastic during the cowgirl, especially the anal cowgirl. She seems really turned on my the sex, and plays with her pussy (and cums) during the anal which undermines the premise that she can only get off by deep throating.

Sasha and a bunch of cocks.

BJ's, facials. Sasha's boyfriend, who is played by Trent decides to capitalize on Sasha's oral talents, by turning her into a blowjob whore. The guys line up at the door, while Sasha kneels down in the backroom. Sasha's character isn't supposed to be turned on and neither was I. Still, I admire the movie maker's willingness to turn off the audience when it serves the story.

Sasha and Evan Stone.

Hot tub, kissing, titplay, tease, BJ, CG, 69, spooning, missionary, anal (sideways, doggie), dildo (oral), handjob, cum on ass. Sasha breaks up with Trent and hooks up with Evan Stone. This is a hot scene, and Sasha has no problem taking Evan's huge hardon all the way down to its base. The anal is spectacular. Sasha deep throats a dildo to get off while Evan pounds hard and deep into her perfect round ass.

Penny Flame and Tom Byron.

Tease, spanking, BJ, standing doggie, CG, missionary, spooning, handjob to completion. Penny and Tom are detective partners who mix work and play. Penny offers a little deep throat of her own, and does a great job of mouthfucking Tom's hardon without upstaging Miss Grey. The fucking is hot. Penny's ass looks great doing cowgirl, and she has a lovely boob-bounce on the missionary and spooning. Penny gives Tom a great handjob, but Tom's popshot fails to impress.

An unidentified couple, Sasha and Hershall Savage, Sasha and Lee Stone.

BJ, cum on tits, doggie cum on ass. This sequence includes three very brief sex scenes during which we learn how Sasha's character died. Hershall gets horny while watching a couple briefly fuck, and pays Sasha $200 for a blowjob. In the climax, Lee pounds her throat deep and hard like it was a wet pussy, and Sasha takes it until the shocking ending.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Extras

Do they really expect us to sit through the phone sex ads again just to check out the extras?

There are five bonus sex scenes, a BTS feature, and several trailers.

Promises Kept and Broken

With this title, Vivid makes several promises to its customers.

1. With stars like Sasha Grey and Penny Flame, it promises hot sex and good acting. It delivers.
2. It promises a feature with a good story, and entertainment value beyond the sex. It delivers on this promise, and it is an excellent choice for couples.
3. Sasha is the Blowbang Queen. By starring her in an oral-focused feature, it promises a blowbang, but doesn't deliever.
4. Porn promises orgasmic bliss. Penny kept her promise to me in her BGG, but none of the other scenes made me cum.
5. With this excellent feature, Vivid promises that they are stepping up their game, and will start delivering top-quality smut to their customers. I hope this is true, but they didn't turn to any of their contract girls for the starring roles, so I still need to be convinced.

Summary

With this performance Sasha proves that she isn't simply one of the premier gonzo whores in the business, she is also a first-class feature fuck. She does a great job reading her lines, and she stays in character during all of her sex scenes.

Penny Flame steps up and delivers a great performace.

Oh, and did I mention? The phone sex ads at the beginning cheapen an otherwise excellent piece of smut.
