You’ve probably heard the term “gonzo” thrown around a bit if you have visited any adult site that talks about the adult film industry. It is probably the newest and most frequently misidentified major category in porn today. So as a service to our users, here’s a guide that will tell you what gonzo is, what it has to offer, and what some of the best gonzo DVDs available are.
Defining “Gonzo”
No, Gonzo (at least as it relates to adult films) has nothing to do with that cute little Muppet with the big nose. In adult film, “Gonzo” is defined as any title in which the participants either acknowledge the presence of the camera, or in which the cameraman or director take a direct role in the movie. This can be anything from talking to the performers to actually participating in sexual acts with them.
There are others in the industry and on other sites who merely define gonzo as lowsex” category, depending on the style and content of the DVD.
Gonzo DVDs: What To Expect
While most features tend to go for the “couples” crowd, most gonzo material tends to be made for the hardcore crowd, those “raincoaters” out there who are looking for some nicely filmed action. While there are some gonzo titles that may appeal to couples, most of them are designed to entertain a certain fetish and please those looking for something a little wilder in their adult action.
Because almost all gonzo titles involve the use of a handneighbor, rather than a professional in a studio setting.
The lack of any type of prepared script is also a big appeal of gonzo titles. In most cases, the girl may be interviewed a bit on camera before a performance – but there doesn’t tend to be a lot of theatrics – most girls are usually “being themselves”, and most of the sexual action also tends to be spontaneous, although most performers know going into a scene what they will or will not be required to do.
The type of gonzo films available to buy cover a wide range of interests, including (but not limited to): AllMasturbation, Oral, and Young Girls.
Gonzo DVDs: The Studios
While most studios tend to offer a gonzo title every now and then, there are a number of popular adult studios who specialize in gonzo material.
One such studio is Red Light District, who offer some great gonzo stuff from some of the industry leaders in gonzo filming, including Mike John and Vince Vouyer. Mike John has given cum swallowing a new name through his best selling series No Cum Dodging Allowed and Semen Sippers; while Vince Vouyer has helmed a number of Red Light District’s most popular releases, including Cum Drippers #3, Breakin’ Em In #2, Just Over Eighteen #1 and Vouyer Vision.
Seymore Butts has made a living producing some great anal-themed gonzo titles, and you can find out if his style of sex is what you are looking for by checking out films such as: Female Ejaculation, Tongue in Cheeks, It’s Raining Tushy Girls and Buttfucked With Style.
A newcomer in the adult industry, Zero Tolerance has devoted all of their DVD releases so far to the world of gonzo filmmaking. With a pledge to feature only the freshest young talent they can (legally!) supply, Zero Tolerance has excelled as the “new kid on the block”, releasing such impressive DVDs as Ass Cleavage, Not Just Another 8Teen Movie, Teen X Two and The Incredible Gulp.
Of course, there are plenty of other quality studios who specialize in gonzo filmmaking. Some of these include Evil Angel, Platinum X and Devils Films.
Gonzo DVDs: The Bonuses
The number of bonuses you’ll get on the average gonzo DVD depends on the adult studio. Some companies like Anabolic/Diabolic usually only include a slide show, a “cumshot recap” and some trailers; while others like Red Light District often include bonus scenes or behind the scenes featurettes with their releases.
However, at the very least, in most cases you will find a few trailers, a slide show and, if you are lucky, some bio information and maybe a bonus scene or two. Unfortunately, most gonzo titles don’t yet provide the bonuses that can be found on many adult feature DVDs, but as the popularity of the digital format increases and as consumers continue to demand “more bang for their buck”, chances are future gonzo releases will have much more to offer in the extra features department.
Starting Your Own Library
Selecting titles for your very own gonzo library will, of course, depend on your own likes and dislikes, but the following titles and series should get your collection off to a pretty good start.
You can pick the DVDs with the girls you find the most attractive, but no gonzo library would be complete without at least a few volumes of porn fun from Red Light District. Catch up with the early work of Monica Sweetheart in Cum Drippers 2 and Assault That Ass; see Belladonna in Black Dicks In White Chicks 2; or watch newcomers like Brooke Milano and Nautica Thorn in Me Luv U Long Time 5.
Also recommended are a few choices from up and coming studio Fusxion. Although they are relatively new to the gonzo game, with their first release hitting the shelves in November of 2003, Fusxion has already released a number of impressive discs, including American Ass, Disturbed and Dirrty.
Other gonzo titles which may interest customers include Out Numbered #2, Grand Theft Anal #3, Early Entries and Seymore & Shane Live On Tour.
