The Art of Anal Sex Vol. 8

Greg Lansky is a major success in porn, but his work is in a rut with a capital R. The lovely ladies who populate this anal-intensive video are great to look at, but Mr. L. accords them such a regimented style and direction of position/movement that tedium soon sets in.

In his hundreds, approaching thousands of porn vignettes he frames the action exactly the same each time, with certain camera angles and sets of sexual positions that are so identical that only the girls and the cocks change. For me it has become one long blur: the doggystyle shot, first-person blow-job, girl with her feet up in the air, etc., so predictable and endless that one can go the kitchen, make a ham sandwich and return to viewing without missing anything.

Chloe Amour is very stylish here, appearing as a top L.A. real estate agent in a sequel to her 2016 vignette opposite Christian Clay titled "Real Estate Babe Gets Anal". She goes from blonde in that one (with a bit of flashback archive footage) to stunning brunette, now seducing Markus Dupree in order to seal a big deal. Their posterior-oriented sex together is well-executed but mechanical, latter seemingly due to director Lansky, who always has his talent playing to the camera, very artificial rather than natural or organic. That's why his meticulous but gonzo approach is the antithesis of Romance, even though his videos are marketed to appeal to Couples.

Gina Valentina is far more subdued than usual, playing a personal buyer who falls for divorcee Mick Blue, in an exceedingly flimsy story built on the ridiculous concept that his wife took him for everything in their divorce, including his clothes.

Mick returns as a different character, having the pleasure of humping the magnificent Anissa Kate, whose participation is why I bought and watched this DVD. She looks mah-velous, and gets to speak much of her dialog in French, though Lansky's ploy of having her say something in French and Mick answer in English is so lame that he soon drops it after a few exchanges.
