Myne Tease 3 - Scene 1

Well people, I brought home the movie Myne Tease 3 to analyze while on my break from school. And I will start off by saying that I am not at all impressed by this film. As someone who both supports and enjoys pornography, I will say that I would NEVER watch anything else by director Pat Myne by choice. Simply by watching the first scene of this film, I can tell that this film was definitely not directed with women in mind at all, whether as an audience, as sexual beings, or even as humans. This first scene was pretty appalling, to say the least.

Myne Tease 3 was released in 2005 by director Pat Myne, a man who is apparently famous in the industry for his scenes of anal sex. In fact, it seems from a brief review of the "literature" that the entire series focuses almost exclusively on anal sex. This alone is somewhat troubling. While we cannot deny that many people enjoy anal sex and do get pleasure out of it, the anus is not one of the female erogenous zones (at least not the last time I checked). I do also realize that it is possible to get off simply thinking about a certain situation or image that turns us on. However, we must face the fact that the director almost cuts out entirely other types of sex that are more likely to lead to female orgasm. The anal sex in the first scene of this video contained no more than 5 total seconds of what we would technically have to consider foreplay - there is a brief moment when the male actor runs his hand over the woman's genitals. For this reason, it seems that the director is choosing to ignore female pleasure entirely and direct this film explicitly toward men whose only goal is their own orgasm. We see and hear many indicators that the male/male actor in this film have "come," but the female's performance is hardly convincing. Linda Williams, a feminist theorist who writes on porn, discusses that this focus may be due to the difficulty in "proving" female orgasm since it is less visually obvious than that of the male's. However, what many women would consider "typical" things that must happen in order for them to come are simply not present in the first scene of this film. Completely phallocentric, it is!

This is not even to mention the language. The video opens with the woman saying, "I want you to come and fuck my motherfuckin' throat now." The woman is then degraded multiple times while orally stimulating the man on screen; he says, "That's a good little girl" and "No hands, just your mouth," just as a couple of examples. If she's such a "little girl," you probably shouldn't be fucking her! The woman is actually no better in the movie, calling him "whore" and "motherfucker" and then drawing attention to her body as if she is a display. She says, "Look at my titties bounce" and ends up displaying her stretched out (and possibly bleeding?) anus directly at the camera a minimum of five times. The exhibitionist aspect of this video is really disturbing; many feminists complain that all pornography objectifies women, and I would disagree, but it is hard to argue against language and actions that are self-objectifying on the woman's part. So, the language and the whole displaying-of-her-asshole thing were really too much.

You would think that a self-respecting feminist would turn off the film by this point, but I decided to finish it. The movie concludes with the woman faced away from the camera, squatting over a wine glass while she farts the male's ejaculate out of her anus. And as if that wasn't enough, she then proceeds to drink the ejaculate after toasting the camera (and the male audience). I think the worst part of this scene was the farting noises - it is a scene of total embarrassment and degradation. It reminded me of the first couple of minutes when the gagging and choking noises of the woman from this man's dick were enough to make me want to vomit. Overall, this movie was quite disgusting and, like I mentioned before, written and directed as if in a men's-only world.

Conclusion
I had a couple of concluding remarks. First, I thought it was interesting that the director had the woman in this first scene be so commanding, ordering the man to fuck her or to "let her" taste his dick, among other things. This intrigued me because, at one point, we hear the director's voice ordering the woman to do something with her breasts or the position she was in. This false sense of command simply reinforces how lacking in pleasure the occurrences in the movie truly are, and how male-focused the entire scene is. The authoritative nature of the woman is a total ploy and parody of female sexual power and autonomy. Another thing that caught my attention was that the male asks her to look up at him while she has her mouth around his genitals. I was wondering why, on a more complex level, he asked her to do that. Obviously, it is what men want to see. But why? Why do some people enjoy eye contact during oral sex? My suspicion is that there is a psychoanalyst out there with an answer, if I can only do enough research to find them...

My rating? 1 out of 10 stars for overall viewability of this film.
