One of the other things that really does inspire me is e-mails from people like you telling me that I, along with the rest of the Search Extreme crew, enrich their masturbatory experience. That's gotta be pretty odd praise to someone looking in, but to us, that's the highest compliment we can get. We don't cure cancer or anything, but occasionally we make someone's life a little brighter. I like that.

So while this anonymous pervert leads you to the fountain of wonderful smut, I tell you to enjoy, and to clean up when you're done. No one likes human stains on the furniture.

Without further ado, let's lower the lights, put on a little Marvin Gaye, and check out this month's installment of Cly Maxwell's Strokin' Picks. Remember to visit http://www.searchextreme.com/cly/picks.aspx for the complete archives.

Oral Consumption #5 (Chosen 2/1/03)
2002/Anabolic Video/139 minutes
Cly Says: You know by now that Anabolic/Diabolic Video is pretty close to my holy grail. And for anyone who has been listening closely lately, you know I'm obsessed with the movie-making of a gentleman over there named Mike John. I had a chance to talk to Mike recently, and my suspicions were confirmed that he is just a stroker with a camera and a budget. No frills, just good fuck videos. In this latest edition of Anabolic's blowjob line, Mike couples with arguably the most controversial director around, Khan Tusion, the director of Anabolic's Rough Sex #1 and #2. Talk about Lennon and McCartney together again. Two sick minds certainly are better than one. Mike's great shooting and Khan's vocal dementia make for some ridiculously stroke-worthy scenes, featuring such total pieces of ass as Keri Windsor, Venus and Cherie. Nothing like taking a stuck-up bitch and making her eat Erik Everhard's asshole for a few hundred bucks.

Weapons Of Ass Destruction (Chosen 2/1/03)
2002/Jules Jordan Video (Evil Angel Video)/138 minutes
Cly Says: Jules Jordan has certainly made a name for himself over the past few years, shooting the hottest girls getting absolutely annihilated by porno cock. That's a good formula. After the metioric success of his first few releases for Evil Angel, it could be said that his next few movies were a tad stale (hell, I'm saying it), but Jules' latest video is as good as anything he's ever made. The movie includes the rebirth of former Seymore Butts girl McKayla Matthews in a rough anal jaunt, the return of super-cutie Jenna Haze to Jules' camera, and even a double anal excursion with miniature fuck toy Gauge. Take those selling points, and add in one of the best scenes we have from Cly's hands-down 2002 Performer of the Year, Belladonna, taking toys in her ass that really, really shouldn't be put in there. Not that I'm complaining. On top of all that, this movie has the cleverest porno title I've heard in a long time. Kudos.

Faust: The Power Of Sex (Chosen 2/1/03)
2002/Private Black Label/99 minutes
Cly Says: Being the deranged pornophile that I am, I listen to the buzz. I have been hearing for years about Jose Ponce, a Spanish porno director who has shot quite a few movies for European companies that do not have U.S. distribution. With this, his first movie for Private, I had a chance to finally sit down and check out his work. It didn't hurt that he had assembled a fantastic cast, including aforementioned superstar Belladonna, amazingly hot Euro babe Rita Faltoyano, the always willing Sophie Evans, and two of the best male performers on the planet, Nacho Vidal and Toni Ribas. Well, I was not disappointed. This was a dark, disturbing ride into Ponce's twisted mind, laid alongside some absotutely fantastic sex. It's a miracle none of these girls were coughing up blood after meeting up with Nacho and Toni. Hopefully we will see more of Ponce's work stateside in 2003.

Until next month... Happy Strokin'!
