Stoya: Deeper 11

Studio: Digital Playground
Director: Robby D.
Cast: Stoya, James Deen, Annette Schwarz, Tommy Gunn, Memphis Monroe, Hannah West

Stoya has padding in all the right places, but perhaps her near-translucent skin made me think “Deeper? How deep can you get into Stoya without being behind her?”

But director Robby D.’s gonzo title that boasts two interludes between Stoya and James Deen as well as scenes featuring Hannah West, Tommy Gunn, Memphis Monroe, and Annette Schwarz do get satisfyingly deeper into their subjects by doing nothing more than offering bits of personality and “business.”

Pre-makeup sex, Stoya bites the head off a rose. Tommy Gunn explains to his buddy that he hasn’t found the mute button on “new wife” Memphis Monroe. And there’s one more thing that I would like to see in porn movies: the dismount. In Deeper 11 it is provided by Annette Schwarz.

Male performers tell me that they are like assistant directors in porn scenes; they are often called on to position the women in the most flattering light. But Robby D. (at least I’m going to give him credit for this) in Schwarz’ scene directs her by letting the sweat-slicked uberpornfrau be herself. Sometimes the best way to direct is get out of the way.

So when Schwarz moves from one position on her partner to another, where one director might omit that transition, director D. leaves it in, and we see Schwarz, all puffy labia and long legs, leap coltishly off and then back on. I love the dismount.

But back to Stoya (the movie, as you remember, concerns Stoya). Her most valuable asset out of all 5’9″ of valuable assets is her facial expression. When she, as much as in frustration as in lust (I assume porn girls are capable of lust) screams “I want your cock!” I can read it in her face.
