Unlike many carnivores, I am interested in how sausages are made. I marvel that there are factories that have created beakless chickens for my McNuggets. I have been known to send back a steak because it didn’t have enough of that great Fear taste.
But the occasional transsexual movie that makes its way to the (she)mailroom of Gram Ponante Towers, Yurt, Gender Reassignment Clinic, and Helipad is, I admit, an unfortunate aspect of an otherwise fun job. Having sex with a transsexual strikes me as about as much fun as having sex with a griffin.
But that doesn’t mean that the majestic transsexual is not an object of great marketing potential, like a square watermelon, or that I don’t recognize her appeal to a new generation of thrill-seeking porn fans.
So, following my review of Third World Media’s Brazil-set Girlfriends???, I spoke with its director, Ed Hunter, who has been shooting tranny and “straight” Latin titles since 2000.
Gram: I’ve been to Brazil a few times and recognize the ear-shaped phone booths in Girlfriends??? but nothing else. What cities did you shoot in?
Hunter: When we first went to Brazil we hit Rio De Janeiro and shot at the love hotels there. We would take girls to Buzios, a beach resort a couple of hours north of Rio.
Gram: I went to Buzios on a honeymoon once. If I had only known…
Hunter: Over the last few years we have been going to Sao Paulo because that is where most of the girls are.
Gram: How often do you go to Brazil, and when you do, do you shoot several movies?
Hunter: I used to go six times per year, but now we go every few months and shoot a few movies.
Gram: Where do you find your talent? I can imagine the agent system there is not as developed as it is here, so you must have to spend extra time looking for people.
Hunter: We find girls through agents and actors who know girls and even hit the streets looking for newbies.
Gram: Such as hookers?
Hunter: In Brazil prostitution is legal and hot girls who like sex get a bonus because they like to get fucked and can get paid for it. Most of them do not want the movies to be released in Brazil so their family or friends won’t find out about it.
This is similar to the mosaicing that goes on in some Japanese porn.
Gram: I haven’t seen a TS-on-girl movie before and I wonder – and I’m sure this is a naive question – if you encounter any resistance among performers. That said, there are some real enthusiastic performances in this movie that made me think there wasn’t any resistance to the pairings.
Hunter: When we cast for movies, we find out what the performers like and try to make them happy by pairing them with someone who turns them on. Some like specific things and then there are some who will fuck anything, guy, girl, shemale –
Gram: – Griffin?
Hunter: Well –
Gram: In Girlfriends??? there are bookend scenes, shot outside and in showers, in which the performers supposedly make arrangements and clean up afterward. I would have also liked a “Crying Game”-type moment where the girl is surprised at what she finds under the hood. In your experience, do girls go for trannies in Brazil? How about here? If this is a normal occurrence, who is usually the aggressor in that type of relationship?
Hunter: Mostly girls liike boys and shemales like boys. Some are bi-sexual or tri-sexual. When we find people that like things a little different, we try to hook them up. We have done scenes with four people – two guys, a shemale, and a girl where the guys fuck each other and the shemale fucks the girl in the same scene. We can stack them up where a guy is on the bottom with a guy on top of him and the shemale on top of that guy and the girl on top standing the other three. It looks good until they really get fucking hard and all fall over –
Gram: That would be an OSHA violation here…
Hunter: …then we cut and start over again.

I’m still waiting for these shemale on female scenes to really take off. Porn watchers are getting bored and hardcore just isn’t as “hardcore” as it seems in the beginning of a porn watchers life. The thought of a woman being “freaky” enough to bang a shemale is pretty erotic for some. I’m still waiting for a shemale on female creampie title to come out. I still haven’t even seen a scene with that happening. Closest I’ve seen is a girl spreading around the cum of a shemale kind of on her pussy. This title looks very hot.
