With a title such as I Can't Believe I'm Doing This, the film promises to be transgressive, at least to some extent. We might expect experimental sex, cutting dangerously close to taboos or something similar.
However, the film is in fact very far from this image. There are no extreme acts here, the roughest being mild throat-fucking and cheek-stretching. Only one scene out of five has anal in it, and there is no emphasis on force, domination, or anything else that might suggest a "dangerous" film.
This is not to the detriment of the film, in fact quite the contrary. While some might be lured to the film expecting harder stuff than this, the film itself is surprisingly good. It seems that the title comes from the fact that the girls are all new-comers to porn, and that in itself seems to be such a bold fact as to justify the title.
The film consists of five scenes, one scene being with two girls, all of them with the same guy, Mark Ashley. I usually don't care about the male performers, as they seem rather interchangeable, usually, but Mark does a really good job. He seems genuinely aroused by the scenes and the girls, and he never says stupid things such as "Suck that, bitch" or "Fuck me, whore" or whatever misogynist phrase is in vogue. They are usually part of most porn, and I tend to just ignore it, but it's nice to hear someone actually say things like "That's good," or "Yes, right there." and to actually seem interested in the girl, rather than just her holes.
The scenes are quite similar: there's mutual oral, fucking in various positions, pussy-to-mouth and a facial. There's nothing spectacular here, but the scenes work because all performers seem aroused and not just thinking about the paycheck. The girls are all-natural and there's only one blonde (Patricia Petite, with a dye job. Wonder what her real hair looks like).
With a film that in so many ways seems run-of-the-mill, it's difficult to articulate what makes it so good. A lot of it has to do with the details: not only does Mark eat the girls out, but plenty of time is spent on showing it. The performers all seem to have fun doing what they do, there's smiling and laughing. There's none of the hyper-machismo which seems to run rampant in most other productions.
In a way, that is a sad commentary on the state of porn, that there's so little genuine enjoyment to be found, either because the films are rough and extreme, or because they emphasize glitter and appearance so much that they turn into an unreal spectacle. I Can't Believe I'm Doing This is a small film which shows a different side to porn, and it's better for it. Despite the fact that this is a gonzo film, it seems to me to be quite couples-friendly.
