Choking Feedback:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave Cummings:
What's up with the choking, slapping, spitting, and rough sex in
some porn releases? And, those oral sex gaggings!
What's sensuous about it? What's sexy about it?
What message might some viewers, especially guys, possibly/wrongly
assume from seeing such aberrations in adult films and
mistakenly rationalize it as normal or OK, and later try to
copycat it into their own sexual relationships?
Now, I admit that I've heard lots of women on sets and in the
swinging world comment about the joy and pleasure they get from
being 'taken', or 'dominated', or made to 'subordinate' themselves
to the pleasures of their guy; I respect their choices and right
to participate in such sexual practices, but I sometimes wonder if
perhaps some of these ladies think (or were pushed to think?) that
they truly enjoy handing over sexual control, when unfortunately
some of them might possibly suffer from low self-esteem or some
other disorder, or from a persistence from a husband/boyfriend who's
seen such acts in some adult films and has pushed them into it. I
think such women in society are in an extremely low percentage
relative to females who might want just a good hard pounding during
sex, or a good old-fashion sweat filled sex-fun time; or, women who
want sex and love-making to be intermingled within their intimate
and behind-closed-doors sessions with their mate.
I'm worried, though, that companies highlighting such 'rough'
behaviors see enough patronage sales that they will continue putting
out such content, possibly 'raising' new viewers to expect their
future sexual partners to welcome the fantasy depicted on film.
Male teens growing into manhood and viewing such acts possibly don't
easily realize that what they view on their screens are actors/
actresses and consenting adults 'acting' and depicting fantasy, not
normal reality!
I hope such releases aren't inviting, indeed pushing, future
government intervention into our First Amendment rights.
And, I certainly hope we don't have a terrible accident someday on a
set and end up with a choking 'act' mistakenly ending in an injury
or death.
If I personally could wave a magic wand, it would be for all adult
video producers to cease depicting the aforementioned.
As a viewer, I want to see sexy couplings that sexually turn me on,
not unrealistic physical acts of an almost-violent nature that
disgusts me, as it probably also does to many other viewers and
potential customers.
What I opined above has been on my mind for a long time. I've anguished
over it, and I hope that things significantly improve. What's been
released in the past hasn't been unlawful, but I also worry that
some of it hasn't been very responsible either, or good counsel for
some impressionable viewers.
I think our right to free speech also encompasses a responsibility
on our part to foster good, respectful, and proper behaviors. Just
like it's wrong to falsely scream 'fire' in a crowded theater, I
feel that it's wrong to portray sexually aberrant depictions as
anything but abnormal fantasy---NOT reality!

Mike South:
You see choking became all the rage in porn not long ago...
it still happens too...all too often.
So naturally some dumb f..k porn stud figures that if choking is
good then choking the girl till she passes out is even better.
Now what did AVN have to say about it?
Not ONE F..KING WORD.
This site and a few others rallied to raise awareness and indeed that
curtailed the practice some...some.

Subject: XRCO's position on Choking
At this time the XRCO does not encourage, discourage, or presume to
influence any forms of sexual conduct (on or off camera) in any
manner whatsoever.
This is not the purpose of the XRCO.
The XRCO consists of a wide spectrum of professional adult product
reviewers whose own personal opinions on specific matters may be,
but are not limited to, their reviews, nominations, and voting.
Any interpretation of specific member's reviews does not necessary
reflect the XRCO as a whole and should not be presumed to do so.
The XRCO does hope that the industry remains safe, healthy and happy
and acts accordingly.

CAVR -vrs- AVN
A specific comparison of the passed out choking release:
CAVR:
The Review.
Roxy Jezel & Steve Holmes & Michael Stefano.
On sofa. Handjobs. Topless. Titty sucking. Screwing & BJ.
Strips nude. No hands BJ. Dual BJ. Steve chokes her. Screwing
& BJ. DP rev cowgirl, doggie. 'Choking, choking, choke you
baby'. Chokes her. DP standing up & chokes her. DP reverse
cowgirl and Steve double chokes her until she passes out.
STOP!
Enough. I don't want to waste my time reviewing the rest
of this. Steve Holmes has written me emails in the past and
explains that he only chokes the girls because he 'Loves
them'.
As I said in other reviews, this is so stupid and so
dangerous. We are heading for a major disaster on a set
someday and there is no way I want to be associated with it.
Stop it before someone DIES! Full Review
CAVR gave it it's lowest rating of 6.00
(Scale is 6.00 to 10.00)
