I was checking out some clips of porn films when I came across something different: the Sybian.

The Sybian is a contraption that consists of a vibrator attached to a saddle which is controlled by a remote control. The remote control has different speeds and settings so your friend, lover or associate can control the rate of orgasm.

And that was the unusual thing, these girls were actually having orgasms. Real life, heavy breathing, thigh-shaking orgasms.

Sybaris is an ancient Greek city focused on good living; sybarites enjoy luxurious things, thus, the Sybian. The creator of the Sybian states on his website that the Sybian is mainly used as a tool for self-gratification (no shit) and as a tool to teach women to become orgasmic or multi-orgasmic, and I believe it. The women I saw were riding high on the Sybian until they had to be held up before ultimately collapsing from coming so hard.

These weren't your trained porn professionals either. No silicone here, no sir. These were real women, having real orgasms and it was impressive. This is something you usually don't see in a porn flick, earth-shattering multiple orgasms without a man. Shit, with a man, for that matter.

And that's what's so refreshing. I felt like I was really getting a glance at these women's private lives. They were no longer on the screen, listening to their moans I could have been spying on the girl next door.

They were no longer porn stars. They were women. Women having a damn good orgasm, and I related.

There was no man "treating" them to his cock, no messy cum shot being aimed at their face to their (of course) utmost enjoyment, there was no man finishing before the woman even began. (Or even worse, a bad edit just before she cums, which happens all too often in mainstream porn, and is beyond comprehension. Is it because the producers worry that all the guys watching porn who don't know how to make their women cum are going to be upset at the site of it? Beats me… )

This toy treated all the women the same, and each one came with amazing force. Now there is something to be said for good production value, but there is something in the spontaneity of realism that makes one actually able to relate to the porn star.

Watching these women in a most intimate moment made me feel as if I knew a part of them and that for me was a real eye-opener. Maybe if more adult videos took the time to deliver such real, almost cataclysmic orgasms we could all relate more, and adult videos could truly become a better service for relationship help and for teaching women to become more orgasmic, to make them feel more relaxed and open about using toys, movies and their partners for a healthier sex life. Relating on this level may also help to lift the taboo off of the porn movie, especially for women.

Adult star Chloe is famed for her real life orgasms, so much so that some call her the "Linda Blair of porn." Because of this, Chloe is one of my favorite stars. When I'm looking at adult movies to rent, I will choose one with Chloe if I can, because I know that she doesn't fake it.

In my opinion, porn movies should be enjoyed by the people involved in them. I know that starring in adult films is a job like any other, but I can only hope that it's more fun of a job than most.

Hollywood films usually simulate their sex scenes. This is a major difference between Hollywood and porn, if you're going to go the extra mile and make it explicit, you might as well try to make it enjoyable.
