There ’s just something a little … surreal about watchingThe Sex Factor , America ’s first porno reality show . It ’s not the warm cuts of graphic penetration or envision contestants of a tv set show blow each other in a pool . It ’s the more expert side of thing .
permit ’s start with episode one : the pilot film . The first affair you notice is the editing . It ’s tough , man . Like , fledgling year at graphics schooling tough . There are strange commercial break in places where there should n’t be commercial breakage ( it ’s a web show , there are n’t commercials ) awkward cuts , spoiled firing , and tantrum that can only be name as cockeyed . It ’s also worth noting that the boom mic should be weigh an honorary roll member by the sheer number of scenes it appears in .
And yet … If you see past all that clobber , the show queerly works . funnily . Sixteen mass , all vying to become America ’s biggest porn principal .

The hoi polloi they ’ve got on this show are moderately interesting . hat off to the cast manufacturer , who carry off to whip up a crew rival the slew of bottom - feeder on the current season ofThe Bachelorette . You ’ve got guys like Buddy Hollywood – who ’s apparently had sex with more than 300 citizenry – a gilded shower fancier visit Khaya Peake , and a guy going by " The Colonel , " who looks like the white version of Barack Obama .
You know that geezerhood - previous stereotype about adult entertainer being remarkably bad at play ? Well , The Sex Factorproves that this joke is based in reality . away from Asa Akira , the jury of famous person judges are knockout to catch . Some of Lexi Belle ’s lines are pitch so clumsily that you have to ask why they did n’t stop the cameras to do another take .
That ’s not to say that the contestants do n’t come down into the wont of giving it their most with act . During a view in which the gang gets a group social disease test , one contestant named Hero D. Protagonist look at the camera and says : “ Well , they put a phonograph needle in my sleeve and demand some blood out . ”

Whether or not it ’s a producer ’s fault that such an boring , over - explanatory line made it into the show is something only god will know .
Then you ’ve got interstitials , your games , your overweening booze : realness show musts . It really hits home that you ’re watch a contest about people fucking each other when the television camera cuts to a scene of … well … people get laid each other . It hits home a 2nd prison term when one woman wipes a sweet payload of jizz off her face and mentionsThere ’s Something About Mary .
It ’s with the challenge and games that the awkward redaction seems to sink – which continue true for installment one and the clean - off - the - editing - block instalment two . They ’re jolly fun , albeit a bit tone - deaf . I mean , the porn ace judges in the airplane pilot give a dick - nurse competition and astonishingly do n’t think of following - up with a cunnilingus - off .

Episode two features famed erotic lensman Holly Randall photograph the distaff contestant and give crush feedback to the camera about everyone ’s forcible and mental flaw . The crowning second is when she knock Dani Darko for her “ out - of - shape ” form and the * gulp * bruises all over her body . Jesus , that ’s dark .
Needless to say , it ’s right smart more interesting watching the the guys ’ challenge in this show … which is a stripping contention . That camaraderie among these vauntingly - dicked mammals is completely surprising – especially for a realness show .
Despite the fact that the phone edit in episode two leaves audiences scrambling to up the volume , we see judge Keiran Lee do his best Simon Cowell by coaching the bozo through an erecting challenge . mollycoddler alert : the challenge is to see who gets an erecting first , as eight guys stand in a circle and jerk off .
The succeeder is Hero D. Protagonist and the plunder is have a custom mold of his cock made into a dildo . Wo n’t see that form of whoreson onThe Bachelor ! no matter of the unusualness of the challenges , the pacing of the two episodes is just completely off . Episode one is too quick , instalment two move at a escargot ’s pace , and it ’s surd to distinguish what was planned in pre - production and what happened organically on set . This lends itself to some interesting here and now – like The Colonel doing pushup on - stage at a strip club .
And , you know what ? That ’s the ecumenical vibe of this show … phantasmagoric moments fuse in with genuine human deportment . You really get the good sense that the cat and young woman onThe Sex Factortruly want to make porn their life .
I , for one , am really mad to see who gain out in the remnant . I ’m also excited about watch less campy challenge and more behind - the - scene snip into the public of pornography . Overall , that ’s what ’s guess to be the driving force behindThe Sex Factor . It ’s something America never really sees acquire in a data formatting everyone ’s used to . While the editing and acting may no be as polished asThe Bachelorette , I ’ll undoubtedly watch this show until the very end and watch the winner ’s smut until the cows come home .
