Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry #4 - The Orgy Edition
I was sold on Chemistry 4 when I read, on the back cover, that Evan Stone puts on a tiger suit; for me, one of the greatest porn moments of last year was Evan Stone in a tiger suit (see Compulsion), and I can only hope that next year brings more Evan Stone in a tiger suit. In the event, Evan in the tiger suit was not a very big part of the movie, but, fortunately, Chemistry has other things to recommend it. Aside from the excellent cast, the setup, which has seemed a little hokey in previous installments, worked out very well indeed here in the orgy edition.
Chemistry 4 comes on two discs, one for each day of the event; the second disc has the special features on it. Either of them would be a worthwhile porn movie in its own right; together, they comprise one of the better two-disc sets of the year so far. The female talent consists of militant stoner and all-around crazy person Penny Flame, pinup-style fetish model Adrianna Nicole, and fetish, glamour and porn model Sinnamon Love; the men consist of newcomer Johnny Sins, renowned and decorated actor and loon Evan Stone, and industry stalwart Tyler Knight. It’s a pretty broad and varied cast, and for my money it works better than any of the other chemistry casts so far. All of the performers demonstrate both a great capacity for endless nonstop sex and a rare ability to speak ex tempore, and the result is both hot and affecting.
The sex is too extensive and varied to go through it position by position, but some of it certainly deserves to be called out specifically. For one, the very first scene on the first disc is pretty special with Evan Stone and Penny Flame getting together next to the pool before the introductions have even been made. Penny’s hot and Evan’s good at what he does, but the thing that struck me the most about this scene was a moment in which Stone is on top of Flame in missionary. He’s simply fucking her, his body on top of hers, their faces together, with Flame panting and moaning. He’s not opened up so you can see the penetration, he’s not spreading her legs for the pink shot, and he doesn’t pull out to blow on her face, and they are clearly not fucking for the camera. It’s one of the first times I’ve ever really seen more than lip service paid to the idea that the porn stars are really off-script and doing their own thing.
There’s not really a scene that fails. Tristan, bless her, stays out of the movie, for the most part, leaving the performers to perform. In previous iterations in the Chemistry franchise, she’s been a little too much in front of the camera, possibly because this is a project that ought to direct itself and she needed something to do, but in the orgy volume, she gives the fucking circus some room to move. She hasn’t performed in front of the camera in a sex role in quite a while (much to the chagrin of her fans from the early days), and if she’s not going to get down and dirty it’s best for her to stay out of the works.
The first real scene is a five-player orgy — Johnny Sins hasn’t arrived yet — that breaks out on the couch immediately after the introductions; gradually, the scene sheds participants until it’s down to Penny and Tyler, which it turns out is Penny’s first onscreen interracial — a fact that is not mentioned on the cover copy for reasons that she elucidates admirably in a confessional segment. Next up is a threesome with Sinnamon, Tyler and Adrianna. After that, Tristan brings in a pair of tantric sex instructors who give a little lecture and demonstration about their subject. If you are from anywhere except California, you will probably find yourself snickering at them, but the performers take them seriously — Penny Flame to the extent that she ends up getting really emotional, something that I found much more interesting than the instructors themselves. There’s another mini-orgy in the hot tub — Johnny still hasn’t shown up — in which Adriana gets her toes inside Sinnamon, and then, after Johnny finally arrives, a few more scenes with the newcomer making up for lost time — a blowjob with Adrianna and Sinnamon, a foursome with those two and Evan Stone, and finally a nightvison anal romp with Sinnamon after everyone else has gone off to bed.
The second day gives us the whole crew waking up (looking like they’re on the last day of a two-week hunting trip rather than at the dog end of sixteen hours of hedonism) and Penny waking up late but still getting to take her turn with Johnny. Tristan on the perv cam catches Evan shaving himself, and then dragging Adrianna in to get his ass and balls, first with the razor and then with her tongue. (Stone, by the way, emerges as the stone cold freak of the bunch, with his tiger suit and all the salad tossing — a development worthy of a movie directed by the avowed alt-freak pansexualist Taormino) Stone and Nicole fool around in the shower, romp into the bedroom, displace Sins and Flame, and conclude their business to general acclaim. A final orgy breaks out on the bed, and everyone leaves happy.
Overall, I would call Chemistry #4 the best of the bunch so far. A smaller cast (with no one who just doesn’t add to the dynamic) makes for a little more intimacy, and there are definitely moments of much more intimacy than you might expect, especially from Penny Flame and Tyler Knight. You’ll come out of this movie with a different view of most of the performers and, most likely, a hunger for more of the same.
