Sexuality Happens

If Ebert and Roper give movies thumbs up and down, I think I’m going to start giving “adult movies” (read: Porn) erect nipples. And this one gets two erect nipples up! Champion is highly recommend to pretty much everyone. In fact, don’t even bother reading this review. Go get it now!

Still reading? Fine. Good thing I actually wrote a review.

Champion is a feature length movie from one of my favorite companies; Pink and White, directed by the brilliant Shine Louise Houston, who has been pushing the envelope of queer porn for about four years now. And it has a ridiculous all-star cast; Syd Blakovich, Dallas, Jiz Lee, Madison Young, Dylan Ryan, and Javier (plus Trouble makes a non-nude cameo!).

I sat down to watch it with some friends (popcorn, porn and pom martini night…you know how I roll), and even those these two were pretty much porn n00bs, they enjoyed it almost as much as I did. 

The plot? Jessie (played by Syd) is a bit of a player, and one of the best fighters in town.  She is still a bit hung up on her ex Cathy (Jiz), and that leads for an incredibly hot sex scene that also has some intense emotional connection (or maybe I’m the only one who saw that?).  And speaking of hot sex scenes, Syd and Madison’s first scene ever is in the this film, and it is ridiculously hot. Like oh. my. god. hot.  Add to that a naughty scene with Javier (this is the first movie I’ve seen with this star, but I’m impressed) and Dylan Ryan (a fierce femme in everything she does), and you’ll go crazy.  However, one of the best parts of the movie is the tension that builds between Violet (Dallas) and Jessie through out the movie.  When they joke about sexual tension being so thick that you can cut it with a knife, this is exactly what they are talking about.

So the sex? Phenomenal.  I was dripping wet and throbbing by the end of this (and there aren’t *that* many porn movies which can produce this result). However, I actually liked the plot too, and the stars of this film actually could act — something that many mainstream feature length porn films seem to be sadly missing.  I actually cared about whether or not Jessie threw the fight, and a little heart broken when Cathy leaned against her door, fighting with herself as to what the right decision was. It was a film I connected to; with my head, my heart and my cunt.

Also, as a side note, the idea of having to cover up one’s self/identity/prevention/sexuality for a sport is one that has been discussed much online and in print, but rarely on screen. I really appreciated this being brought up, as it needs more visibility.

My only issue with this film? I have a hot gym sex fantasy, and there was no sex in the gym in Champion. Once, I thought it was close, and my cunt clenched in anticipation, but then, no. I was shot down.  My solution? Make Champion 2, and have hot gym sex to fulfill this desire of mine (or if someone just wants to come over here, tie me to the lat machine and fuck my brains out, that would be acceptable too).

Sex? Hot as hell.

Plot? Actually believable and interesting.

Political statements? Alive and well.

Overall? I loved Champion, and think that it should find the way onto the shelves and DVD racks of all porn lovers; queer and straight alike.  This is one of those films that has a wide audience, and can be enjoyed by a large variety of people.  It was fun to view it in a group, but also has given me some great enjoyment on my own. 5 stars (and two erect nipples).
