A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...Anal sex (or as more civilized people call it, "butt-fucking") was just a semi- taboo gleam in the pornographer's eye. It was an act which happened occasionally in adult films, and only for a special cinematic moment, such as Marilyn Chambers' climactic scene with John Holmes in Up And Cumming. (A quick story here: Back in the early eighties, a certain laserdisc manufacturer finally grew the balls to press an actual X-rated title despite earlier company policies of avoiding adult material. That flick was Up And Cumming [absolutely not to be confused with the long-running Randy West series of a similar name], which today, seems like just a run-of-the-mill stroke film, but in fact drew critical acclaim and spotlighted the long-anticipated comeback of Mr. Johnny Wadd himself. Anyhow, despite their move, the studio still got cold feet over featuring sodomy in their product, and censored the anal finale between Chambers and Holmes, by running the end credits over the soundtrack. So we got to hear Chambers squeal with anal-filled delight, without actually seeing the act! We've come along way, baby!)
 
What follows is the first part of my dirty dozen list of all-time favorite butt-banged babes, and their best work so far. Even if you aren't a Buttman on the level of John Stagliano, every porn fan will want to see these ladies at work.
 
LAUREN PHOENIX - Simply stated, Miss Phoenix is one of the best performers to grace the world of adult flicks. Though I have not seen every one of her 300+ videos churned out during her five-year career, I cannot recall a single instance where she was anything less than fantastic, whether it was performing one-on-one with Lee Stone in Specs Appeal #13, or with on-screen girlfriends Angel Long and Cindy Crawford in Hot Showers 10, or interracially with Julian St. Jox in Interracial Nation 7.
 
Though this statuesque (5' 10") Canadian blonde has retired (though who knows...she could be back in the jizz-bizz at any given moment), Lauren left behind (pun intended) enough flicks to get your fill of her for at least one or two lifetimes. Though I could rattle off at least fifty or so anal titles off the top of my head, allow me to recommend some of my favorites, including Ass Worship 5, where she and April Flowers strut around in fishnet bodysuits for a little lesbian loving before lucky bastard Toni Ribas samples both their butts, as well as Suck Fuck Swallow, in which she and Naudia Rio are reamed and creamed by Mark Ashley. (By the way, this title is also worth getting for a scene with gorgeous Lanny Barby, who gets backdoored by Mark Davis.)
 
Lauren also gets double-penetrated under the direction of famed erotic photographer and director Suze Randall in Undressed & Oversexed, with Mick Blue and Tristan Seagal doing the honors. I also enjoyed Cumback Pussy 50, which features graphic ass-to-mouth work, as well as the very first edition of Jack's POV from Digital Playground. However, in order to see Phoenix rise again and again, run - don't walk! - to your computer and add Buttwoman Iz Lauren Phoenix to your Empire shopping cart, or download it "on demand" for immediate gratification. This epic title treats us to five consecutive scenes of our favorite butt-mistress with starlets like Cytherea, Holly Stevens and Vicky Vette, and there's girl-girl action as well as anal in every affair. Truly, Lauren Phoenix was one of those rare performers where no amount of hype could do her justice.
 
HILLARY SCOTT - She is the quintessential gonzo porno star: A barely legal blonde who first burst upon the scene in 2004, Miss Scott has been rightfully praised for her high energy anal scenes and award-winning oral techniques. She stands just a couple inches over five feet, and weighs less than a hundred pounds, yet she is able to take an equal size and weight of cock down her throat and up her ass. She has over three hundred titles on her porn resume, with the overwhelming majority of them offering an anal performance. Anal Princess Diaries is an absolute "must-have" for fans of the blonde goddess. She appears in every scene, and even manages to keep up with seasoned professionals like Jenna Haze, who administers some girl-girl loving in a three-way with Benjamin Bratt. Hillary's bottom gets worked up and worked over throughout this DVD, performing interracial sex, gangbangs, double-penetration, and even DP-anal. (Just thinking about this flick makes me want to take pause and give it another spin...)
 
In the colorful and fast-paved world of Britney Rears 4, she and dark-haired Veronique Vega get grand-slammed in their bums by wood-wielding Mr. Bratt, then gets anal-ized once again by Sascha all in the first ninety minutes of the movie. Hillary provides plenty of lubricant prior to the acts thanks to her extremely wet blowjobs which contain more drool than a hungry Rancor at the bottom of Jabba's lair. Other excellent titles which open her butt cheeks up to your world include Domination from Iron Cross, Black Meat White Treat (one of my favorites from 2005) and Butthole Whores from Evil Angel.
LEENA - For those who remember when "large screen television" meant crummy, front projection, wooden monstrosities or glass and steel tubes which weighed more than a Ron Jeremy/Rosie O'Donnell/Roseanne Barr threesome, the name Leena should conjure up wet-dream moving pictures of a hard-bodied, top-heavy slender brunette who absolutely rocked the erotic world particularly in the mid to late 1990s. She remains a true legend of porn.
 
Leena's work in field of ass-poking was unfortunately hampered and hindered by the less-than-stellar production values which plagued that era, though she managed to outshine even the cheesiest of flicks. Even more problematic is the fact that much of her catalog has now been discontinued or deleted for one reason or another. Still, some of her remaining titles still pack a wallop and can be purchased at bargain prices. Watch her tight, supple ass get prodded and banged in Blondage (following a hot striptease in a plaid skirt which steals all the thunder and lightning away from stars Julia Ann and Janine), and then turn to Intimate Journey for some kinder and gentler anal play. For my money (shot), Leena's best anal scene comes at the end of Nick East's dick in Paul Thomas's underrated Cheating, co-starring Ashlyn Gere and Christina Angel. As a finale, Leena is sodomized in a missionary position on top of a car, and effortlessly rotates her body around in a doggy-style position with Nick's prick lodged deep inside of her. It's an understated, yet undeniably smokin' extended shot which can be yours thanks to the Empire's Video On Demand. 
 
TAYLOR RAIN - She was not even twenty-five years of age when this living legend decided to retire (again) from adult back in December of 2005. However, this leggy, but petite, all-natural and all-bad girl racked up over two-hundred titles to her credit, including appearances in several videos which are about as controversial as one can imagine. Also known as Taylor "Mutherfuckin'" Rain, this sexy brunette remains one of my all-time favorite, though even I admit that her astonishing proficiency can lessen the heat. For example, Jenna Haze, a similarly built and equally aggressive performer, always makes it seem like she's having the time of her life, whereas occasionally, Taylor sometimes seems to be on auto-pilot albeit a spectacularly stunt-performing auto-pilot..
 
But all that is merely spoiled belly-aching on my part. When Taylor is onscreen, the only limitations are those set by the director and her fellow performers (who are almost always male, as Miss Rain isn't one to explore her lesbian side). It's simply amazing that a girl who barely reaches 5' 3" in height (though those high heels of hers are always nice) and weighs less than 110 pounds can take as much man-meat as she does. If you want to "cut to the chase," then skip to the last scene of Un-Natural Sex #12, where Jay Ashley and John Strong stuff themselves deep into Taylor's backside for her very first (and only) double anal-penetration. It's not as epic as the airplane rescue from "Superman Returns" but it is quite an event.
 
Prior episodes of Diesel's Den have already highly recommended titanically titillating Taylor titles such as A2M #4: The Art Of Ass To Mouth, Anal Retentive, Weapons of Ass Destruction 2, Full Anal Access 2, and Erotica XXX (the last three are always at the top of my "Taylor Rain Must See" recommendations). Therefore, let me introduce "new" titles worthy of your attention: Love Between The Cheeks, a Suze Randall production where erotic heat and visual composition are a near perfect match; Evil Bitches, one of Nectar Entertainment's better releases; as well as Ass Up Face Down, which she directed and is featured in two terrific scenes; and Tales From The Crack, one of the most critically acclaimed video of 2005 and for good reason!
