A mixed message
I like B. Skow and his imaginative porn features, but even he has to just make a buck. "Contrast" is his jumping on the current IR bandwagon - 3 hours plus extras of 4 sweet young things impaled by very big Black cocks.
Ho-hum is the correct reaction, as mixed-combo porn has been popular since those loops way back when starring Red Baron and early features with Johnnie Keyes, Jonathan Younger and other stalwarts. More recently Lexington Steele, Mandingo, Jack Napier and Sean Michaels have created a cottage industry and mucho self- aggrandizement with thousands of vehicles for themselves.
But now all the sales and waning attention in professionally-produced porn (as opposed to amateur night internet garbage) revolves around slick IR porn with strong & silent type Black men. No Lex or Napier effusive personality, or even brooding Mandingo speaking softly but carrying a big stick.
At first I thought "Skow" was trying to make a statement: after all his title "Contrast" harks back to a rather artistic aspect of arousal porn, namely the skin- tone contrast of partners having sex. It is a natural turn-on and has nothing to do with race per se, as witness a sun tan creating the same effect.
But no, Skow is merely selling out. Proof is the complete absence of Black women (or should I say girls, as you will note if you keep reading this review) in the video. IR should swing both ways, but in the commercialized porn market it merely is code for Big Black Dick, Little White Chick, as Jake Steed so artfully put it two decades back. Few Black actresses have an opportunity to grab the brass ring in the Adult Industry -after Jada Fire retired only Misty Stone and Skin Diamond qualify as superstars currently.
The DVD liner notes, grammatically sloppy of course, lay it on the line with "alabaster" to describe the females' complexion, and emphasis on size disparity. Those box covers for the label blacked.com always show a disinterested Black guy with a semi-limp massive johnson hanging down, next to a mere slip of a girl who literally pales by comparison with the male organ's dominant place in the photo.
Skow goes one step further, which I would deem satirical if I didn't know better, by throwing in rather lamely another current dumb mania, the Oiler genre. No not the Houston football team that died a full 20 years back, but rather the massage porn that has become a 21st Century mainstay.
So each of the four Black studs in close-up (all you see are the hands), oils up the girl in question and plays with her labia in now time-honored quasi-foreplay fashion. The entire video, way overlong at over 3 hours for 4 vignettes, is regimented with the girl's solo, the meeting of minds foreplay, and then some desultory humping. None of the four girls remotely approach a deep-throat expertise, but they all swallow the salami in their pussies with remarkable ease. Skow has saved anal sex for an inevitable follow-up sequel.
While the guys are all familiar porn actors, though definitely not on the A-list, the girls are fresh faces and all qualify as jail-bait. The only interesting (career-wise) newcomer is cover-girl Piper Perri. Her braces are the pederast-baiting gimmick, but she doesn't look underage, rather presenting a unique beauty, anorexic figure and extremely long legs (especially for a 4'10" height) which Skow only briefly exploits for those distorted "feet in foreground" shots one finds in foot-fetish videos. I'm sure she will do well for herself in the usual 100 or so quick gonzo assignments leading to burnout pattern the industry affords young women, but I would certainly appreciate it if she went into storyline features (hey! Mile High and Girlfriends labels -check her out) instead.
Feature lacks the glossy approach that has bestowed upon the likes of Mason and Lansky unearned accolades of late, but for his intended unwashed audience Skow delivers the goods.
