[Ashley & Kisha | Matt & Khym | Damon & Hunter | Xana & Dax | Marie & Jack ] Ashley & Kisha: Finding the Right Fit Fleshbot "If you're looking to get your rocks off with some hot girl-on-girl action, you might want to keep in mind that "Ashley & Kisha" isn't your typical Porn Valley sapphic extravaganza; the fifth film in director Tony Comstock's award-winning hardcore verité series is as much about what goes on in the heads of "two women who seemed destined not to be together" as it shows what goes on between the sheets. "Ashley was a lady-killer and proud of it; Kisha was sexually conservative and straight ... Finally, after weeks of failed seduction, Ashley's determination paid off. Kisha's ambivelence gave way to curiousity, her curiousity gave way to desire, and ultimately desire blossomed into love." Who needs all those shallow Barely Legal gals anyway?." Adult DVD Talk "Once again the Comstocks deliver the full package, physical, mental, and emotional. Ashley and Kisha are both good looking, but not so much that they lose the natural feeling like somebody you might run into going down the street. Their talking about how they got together is beautiful, and you can feel the love between them so much that it's hard not to get turned on just with the anticipation of seeing them make love later in the movie. At the same time it's hard not to be a little afraid that the sex won't live up to the talking heads. Of course there's nothing to fear as the sex is just as satisfying. It feels completely real and natural for the ladies, and has a very nice flow with a touch of an artistic eye that helps it to be just as satisfying. If you're sick of watching adult films wondering if the people you're watching are really into each other or not and like all girl action, Ashley and Kisha: Finding the Right Fit just might be the best movie you'll watch for a very, very long time."—Astroknight Shine Louise Houston "Just about the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Their story resonated with memories from my younger days when I was coming out. And during the sex, the connection between Ashley and Kisha is so completely visible; there's no doubt that they're totally in love. Tony Comstock is able to translate the passion of the couples he films to the screen like no one else."—Director, 'The Crash Pad' Matt and Khym: Better Than Ever Fleshbot "When people ask us to recommend couples-friendly smut that's more genuine than the typical Porn Valley fare and more interesting than the kind of insipid gauzy "erotica" stuff that turns up on late night cable TV, we usually tell them about Comstock Films, whose finely crafted work manages to be smart and intimate without skimping on the hot sex you want in a porn film to begin with. "Matt & Khym" is the newest installment in producer Tony Comstock's series of real life couple studies and stars a thirtysomething duo who "have taken the time to rediscover the joys of married life and married sex"—and who disprove the notion that it's all downhill in the sack once the honeymoon is over. Worth checking out if you're looking for something to stimulate your mind along with the rest of your parts." Eros Zine "Watching Matt & Khym is pretty much like having a wine-soaked dinner with your new friends the happiest couple in the world -- you know the ones; if you're like me you can't decide if you're happy for them or you want to bitch-slap the living shit out of them. But I always come down on the side of being happy for them, if only because I'm ultimately more of a voyeur than a bastard. There's a deceptive intimacy generated by any media production -- it's the same sort of connection one feels with the characters in any successful work of art, which is why so many of us fantasize sexually about Jennifer Anniston or Russell Crowe or Jenna Jameson. With Matt & Khym, as with Comstock's other films, that intimacy is profoundly different from your average erotic flick. Watching it, like making it, is a revolutionary act, because the film doesn't set out to create a fantasy; it's the eroticism of everyday life that Matt & Khym is after, and it gets hold of it with wet, hot, cuddly abandon, and never lets go."—Thomas S. Roche Blowfish "The latest in Tony Comstock's series of documentaries featuring real couples talking about -- and demonstrating -- their sex lives is sweet, sexy, and ultimately even inspirational. Matt and Khym met when she was just out of high school (he was three years older) and, after a brief friendship, became romantically involved. They've been together ever since, for almost twenty years, and the first half of the film features them sitting together on a couch, talking about how they met and the course of their lives together, with an emphasis on the sexual. It's clear they're just as much in love now as they were when they first got together, and they can't keep their hands off each other. Their story is sometimes sad and sometimes funny. They talk about their first years together, when she still lived with their parents and they could only have sex in the car. They had making love in a car down to a science, and when they finally had a place of their own, they had to re-learn how to have sex in a bed. Over the years they had various long-term houseguests (assorted relatives, a troubled teenage foster child), and so their sex life always had a whiff of the clandestine about it. In their last couple of years, living alone together, they say they've undergone a sexual renaissance. Twenty years, and still so passionate. We should all be so lucky! They obviously take great comfort and solace from their relationship -- it seems to be the utter bedrock foundation of their existence. And sex is a big part of that life; they can't even take a day-long road trip without finding a place to pull off the road for a quickie in the car. I almost expected the inevitable long sex scene to take place in a car, for old time's sake, but it happens in their bedroom, and it's a loving, intimate, sexy affair. And, not to be prurient, but she's got a very beautiful body, and he's stayed in shape, too, though neither one looks a bit like a stereotypical porn performer, which is a big part of the point. After the sex scene, the camera returns to them, and they explain that they took part in this film to show people that it's possible to be with someone for decades and still feel all that passion, chemistry, and devotion. It's clearly true, and it's inspiring."
Good For Her "This installment from award-winning documentary-style filmmaker Tony Comstock is a revelatory look inside the intensely intimate and incredibly sexual relationship of two young, attractive people.Matt & Khym a loving married couple in their thirties take us along on their incredible journey revealing the history of their partnership and the secrets of their romantic bliss. During the interview, as they speak about their enduring attraction, the heat building between them is palpable and they have trouble keeping their hands off each other. The interspersed action shots of them together only add to the delicious tension. The film ends with a breathtaking sex scene so honest and so fierce that it puts much of what’s on offer in the modern industry to shame."

Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together Q Magazine "Make no mistake—you purchase this film and you will see two guys making love. Please note that I used the phrase 'making love' and not just 'having sex' For me, it was a different way of watching porn [and I have watched quite a bit over the years]—by having a background knowledge of how the guys feel about each other and what they think about sex, you have a better understanding of how they are making love. Don’t misunderstand me, it is full on, total sex—and you see everything!"—Brett Hayhoe (August, 2006) DNA Magazine "With the mantra: “Porn is sex without love and Hollywood is love without sex,” Tony Comstock has tried to reach a middle ground – and he has. Comstock films capture real couples having sex and splices that footage with an interview about their lives. The result is an engaging, documentary-like pornographic feature that gets you thinking as much as it gets you off. Damon DeMarco and Hunter James are the company’s first gay couple, appearing in newly released title Damon And Hunter: Doing It Together.” —Luke Malone (Winter, 2006) Blowfish "We like Comstock films because they are documentaries about real couples who really like each other and really like sex. And we get to see the couples not only having sex, but talking about sex. They also talk about love, romance, how they met, and all sorts of other very personal, intimate things. It's regular porn, and communication porn brought together. Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together follows in the real life couples tradition of other Comstock films with the added bonus of being shot on film so it looks stunning. Really. If there weren't a lot of hard core fucking in it I'd swear it wasn't a porn film. Both boys are totally cute and sexy and clearly excited about fucking each other. They really get into talking about their relationship and their enthusiasm about being boyfriends is a little intoxicating. After you watch this movie you may just want to run right out and fall in love with your own cute gay boy. Consider yourself warned. The first half of the film cuts back and forth between long scenes of Damon and Hunter talking about their lives and quick Nouvelle Vague style jump cuts of them having sex. It's sort of like a Godard film with a hard on. The second half is the hottest boy on boy sex you'll ever see. They just seem like real people and not porn stars, because of course they are real people. But just for the record, they are real people who have great sex. These two boys are so yummy they pretty much transcend gender and sexual orientation. We're pretty sure they will appeal to just about anyone."—Diana Cage Good Vibrations "Quite possibly one of the most honest documentations available of gay male sex, Damon and Hunter captures the sincerity and passion of a real-life couple. A far cry from the Viagra-and testosterone-fueled gay porn factory, director Tony Comstock (Marie and Jack, Xana and Dax) continues to create straightforward and beautifully-shot movies. In a candid interview that runs throughout the film, the men share intimate details of their relationship. And, in a hot final scene, Damon and Hunter get really into each other." Eros Zine "If you've never watched two guys getting it on, you'll probably still be hooked moment you put this feature on. The reason is the candor with which these two guys talk about their sex life and sex in general. Their candor is at once strange -- ie, out of place in "porn" -- and familiar -- totally appropriate for conversation in pervy living rooms from coast to coast. We're treated to a close-up portrait of the two fucking, and the erotic heat between them is palpable. Far from being a sterile documentary portrayal, the sex scenes in Damon & Hunter are sexy, passionate and illuminating, whether they're brief clips -- as in the first part of the film -- or longer, more sensuous explorations -- which come later in the piece."—Thomas S. Roche JustUsBoys.com "I really enjoyed the scenes of loving, natural sex interspersed between interview clips of the boys talking about their relationship and sex life. Unlike a typical studio release, this film turns us into voyeurs by letting us peek into the bedroom of these two beautiful men."—JD ManNet.com "Damon DeMarco and Hunter James look like the gay couple next door in this very intimate rendering of sex. This isn't really about porn, but lovemaking. As Damon says: 'This is not about procreation.' It's about their pleasure as a couple, which is exactly what the film attempts to capture, a very personal romantic coupling, simply shot so as to allow the full nature of the moments to stand on their own, rather than be washed over by the gloss of porn."—Brent Blue X-Factor "Fans of Damon and Hunter should delight in the sheer amount of themselves they share in the interview and the frankness of their comments about themselves, their friends and family, and the evolution of their personal and sexual relationship. Damon and Hunter fills a noticeable gap in adult erotic entertainment by filming a popular and extremely attractive real-life couple expressing their love and sexuality in a natural way."—Onan (April, 2006) DAMON & HUNTER AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS * 2006 GayVN Award Nominee for Best Alternative Release * WINNER BEST DOCUMENTARY—Melbourne Underground Film Festival, 2006 * Official Selection—Cinekink Film Festival 2006, New York * Official Selection—Queerdoc Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2006, Sydney * Official Selection—Out Takes Reel Queer Film Festival 2007, New Zealand * Part of the Kinsey Institute Library Permanent Collection
Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract Women's Health Magazine In the article "Sex Homework" (Women's Health, November 2006), real life couple Stacey and Bryce have this to say about Xana & Dax: When Opposites Attract: "This was our favorite," Bryce says. "There was no plot; it's a real couple having sex. They looked like people we would know and be attracted to." Stacey agrees. "I loved Xana and Dax because they're a real couple, with genuine orgasms and a sincere admiration for each other," she says. "We watched it straight through, and even though we were as tired as usual, we had sex right after." And they changed their usual routine by trying a new position from the video."—Article "Sex Homework" by Jamie Waxman Toronto EYE Weekly "I had an unanticipated and welcome response the other night watching Xana and Dax by Comstock Films ("Real People, Real Life, Real Sex"). Comstock has created something that amateur porn producers have been trying, with limited success, to make for years -- truly sexy, artfully shot, explicit films with real couples. Though I have experienced this with art-house films, this was the first time watching an adult movie that I was gratified by the sensation of knowing exactly how the sex they shared felt rather than simply being a gluttonous spectator. I highly recommend looking into their stirring, persuasive films."—Sasha Good Vibrations "You've been looking for the right video for years... everything you've come across seems a little contrived, fake, and passionless. Well, look no further! Comstock Films provides the real goods. This isn't some Hollywood soap opera, it's a straight-up honest documentation of two people in love having some of the most passionate and tender sex ever caught on film. With a variety of positions, light anal play, and heavy kissing, this couple offers a sexy, candid and exploratory change of pace to the otherwise monotonous world of porn." Babeland "Real-life lovers Xana and Dax are indeed opposites—she, big-boobed and blonde; he, slender and dark—but this doesn’t stop these hot hipsters from making an intensely intimate connection. Lots of kissing, inventive positions (don’t miss a super-intimate 69) and sex that is by turns tender and raw make for a truly voyeuristic experience. If you want to see real couples having real sex, this is the next best thing to hiding in the closet (and alot more legal)." Eros Guide "The purpose of this series is to see those real couples having real sex, as opposed to porn stars feigning interest in each other, and Xana and Dax are all that and more. They look and sound and have sex not just like "real people," but people I'm actually friends with. They talk about how they met, how much they enjoy each other's bodies and their general love and appreciation for each other in a way that you won't see in any other 'porn movie.'"—Abby Ehmann Blowfish "We're ecstatic to present the latest release from Comstock Films. They are the producers of Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story, one of our favorite videos ever, and their new one is just as good. Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract is a beautifully-shot interview and sex scene between Xana (a lovely buxom blonde who, ah, takes full responsibility for her own pleasure) and Dax, a cute young guy who is clearly just gone over her. The interview is poignant, moving and revealing, and the sex is hot. Not a whiff of Porn Movie clings to it. If you want a movie with explicit sex to share with someone you love, but don't want a typical porn flick, this is the movie for you." FreddyAndEddy "Comstock Films has come out with another winner with their newest film, Xana and Dax When Opposites Attract. Xana and Dax are one the most beautiful couples I've ever seen. In fact, the first time I viewed it with Freddy, I had sort of a breakthrough, sexually, as I became so turned on that Freddy practically inserted his entire hand into me and I (normally size-averse) practically clawed our couch into tatters. But that's another story for another time."—Eddy "We recommend this title highly. Not just because it'll make for a very sexy evening with you and your partner, but because it's important to support projects like these and the people who make them. Until we show with our dollars that these are the kinds of films we want to watch, the industry as a whole will not change and the production of lousy fare will continue."—Freddy Clean Sheets "Is Xana and Dax sexy? Yes. Does this film make me hot? Yes. Does it make me want to fuck? Absolutely. But (and here's the ringer) it makes me want to fuck someone I love."—Shanna Germain and Gary Meyer AdultDVDTalk "The way Xana and Dax talk about lovemaking isn't just sexy, it also serves to give the film context. The obvious and logical conclusion to which seems to be the move to watching them make love. The format means we can relax into the story very quickly. When Xana talks about her orgasm, then we see it, we can truly enjoy her pleasure, -- we can buy into the action with ease. When we see her lovingly sucking and stroking Dax's cock, we know she really loves the way it looks and feels -- we've heard her say so, and when we see Dax rub his thumb over her clit and pussy lips -- we know he adores her and her body."—Loraine "Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract is another fantastic release from Tony Comstock. The sex has the great feeling of chemistry that makes so many amateur movies so enjoyable, but Tony takes things one step further by making sure you know the people before they ever have sex. He also helps things out by capturing it with an artistic eye and editing it together extremely well. Xana and Dax’s sex comes across as a thing of beauty and love, and is captured so well that I almost felt like a voyeur watching them."—Astroknight ForTheGirls.com "Having been wowed by Tony Comstock's first film Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing his new effort, Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract. And I'm happy to say that I wasn't disappointed. This film is another fine example of how intelligent, engaging and beautiful porn can be. "With both his films, Comstock has created a brand new genre - pornomentary. Forget the concept of "reality" porn, this is the authentic thing. Real couples, real relationships, real sex. It's part documentary and part stroke film, and that's what makes it so wonderful."—Ms. Naughty XANA & DAX AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS * WINNER: HOTTEST STRAIGHT SEX SCENE—2006 Emma Awards, Toronto * Official Selection—Porn Festival Berlin 2006 * Part of the Kinsey Institute Library Permanent Collection Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story Jane Magazine From the feature How To Build A Sex Library (March, 2005) : “Here are nine classics that may do it for you…Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story. You’ll like it if you “make love” instead of “hump”. In this case, a real-life couple tells us how they fell in love, then they take us into their bedroom."—Kate Torgovnick Tango Magazine From feature article Was That Movie Good For You? an exploration of the role of erotic films can play in spicing up a relationship (Fall, 2005): "Marie and Jack, porn stars married in real life, have the genuine chemistry and knowledge of each other’s bodies to make this film sizzle. It starts slowly, with the couple discussing the intimate details of their love, before getting down and dirty. Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract, offers a similar scenario."—Amy Braunschweiger Penthouse "Have you ever wanted to direct an adult movie? Sure you have. And here's your chance, thanks to amazing advances in digital technology. Marie and Jack is the story of, well, Marie and Jack, lovers who reveal more than just their bodies for the camera. These are roles the two were born to play, in more ways than one; Marie is, in reality, porn star Aria, and Jack is none other than Jack Bravo. Through well-done, thoughtful interview segments, they describe their meeting and initial attraction, and give insight into their sex life. Their sex scene, which runs half an hour, is considerably different from what Aria's fans have seen before. From slow, sensuous kissing to genuine, real-life orgasms, she and Bravo open up in a way few in this business have ever done. Then, when the show is over, you can watch the whole shebang again exactly the way you want, choosing different angles, zooming in and pulling back. This is an interesting concept made even more enjoyable by the sincerity and charm of its principals."—Eric Danville (January, 2005) Babeland "Intellectually and erotically stimulating, this documentary style porn movie features a real life couple who both work in the porn industry. Surprisingly sweet, funny and sexy, Marie and Jack is not your typical skin flick. After an interesting intimate conversation about such issues as separating their real sex life and their performing life, we are treated to their bedroom sex, a scene that conveys their emotional and sexual connection." AdultDVDTalk "I had a very long porn hiatus. Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story brought me back. It's the ideal couples movie."—Steph Dunn, Owner Tiny Nibbles Open Source Sex "Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story is my favorite adult film of the season. This real documentary (as opposed to the many lame fake docs you see passed off in mainstream porn) spends a few moments of wonderfully intimate time with a very in-love, real-life porn couple. Porn fans will recognize star Aria as herself, with her sexy husband Jack Bravo, as they first talk like giddy schoolkids about their relationship, then show us, for real, what they like to do in bed. No fakery, no bullshit edits, real, beautiful, all-natural people making love to each other -- with the heat and passion of porn stars unhinged. "I really enjoyed the video, but then I got my hands on the DVD, which has some very stroke-worthy multiple angle features. Their entire sex scene, from start to finish plays itself out uninterrupted, while you get to play editor, choosing the camera angle, either one camera at a time, or screen-within-a-screen. Truly groundbreaking -- and incredibly hot! I switched from the close-up camera to the camera showing them kissing, caressing each other's faces, cooing and whispering smiley sweet nothings, and back to the nasty stuff -- and found myself enjoying my job, all over again! I want more, more! I wish I could find more films like this, and I'm looking forward to future films from this smart indy company."—Violet Blue Adult Video News "Here's an intimate look into the earlier porn life on a present-day top star, Aria, formerly known as Marie Silva, and her husband and sometime on-screen partner, Jack Spade, formerly Jack Bravo. The pair discuss how they got into the adult video business; the differences between having sex on camera versus real life; and how men react to Jack's ease at seeing his wife perform. In between the discussions, however, is an actual love making session between the two, which is about as hot as anything the average porn fan sees in a regular video production - with the added bonus that this was shot before Aria's (admittedly minor) boob job."—Mark Kernes, Senior Ed. Hamilton Steel, Adult Film Star and Director "I can honestly say is this is a must own video. The movie is obviously made by someone with attention to detail and who knows how to grab the viewer and give them something that just sizzles. It is honestly my favourite porn." Eros Blog "This would be an awesome movie to show your lady. It's tasteful enough to be an art film, it's got a real relationship in it, it's sexy enough to get both of you aroused.The DVD is notable for including as an extra the entire hot lovemaking session around which the documentary was made, only this time, it's in a "choose-your-own-camera-angle" format and is has none of that documentary talk going on. So if you liked the documentary but wished you could watch the sex as pure porn, now you can!"—Bacchus Blowfish "If you've ever wondered what a relationship between two porn stars would be like, you need to see this film. The reality might just surprise you. Marie and Jack are two twenty-something hotties who share the most intimate details of their relationship in this myth-breaking documentary. On screen they are sexual dynamos, fucking and sucking their ways to the top. At home their lovemaking is some of the most tender sex this Blowfishie has ever had the pleasure of spying in on. We listen to Marie and Jack talk about what it takes to be in the industry and, even better, what it takes to please each other and make their relationship work. And plus, you get to watch them fuck. This is a hotly sweet gem, highly recommended." Freddy And Eddy "This film itself starts with an interview with Marie (who goes by the name Aria) and her husband Jack, who detail what it's like to maintain their relationship despite the obvious problems of being in porn (and being with other people, sexually). After the interviews are finished, the film shows an extended love scene between the two. The sex between them is unscripted and very tender, making this title appropriate for even the most hesitant porn newcomer." Libido Magazine "It’s shot in a confined, close-up style that adds a strong sense of intimacy—both between Jack and Marie and between the viewer and them. Their humanity shows, as does their vulnerabilities. That’s what makes the sex between them so erotic and gives the film such a strong feeling of veracity. You are right there with them." Come As You Are "A sentimental and refreshing look at the intimate life of a couple who both work in the porn industry. An interview that is extremely sincere and candid followed by an exceptional and revealing scene of their life together after work hours. Half hour in length. A pornographic independent film that captures the connection between two people that is rarely seen. Their desire for each other is obvious and contagious. Interesting, captivating and definitely arousing." Clitical "You couldn't help but get a sense of their togetherness as they talked. Marie was almost shy on screen, which only endeared her to me more, and Jack had a sense of humor that shone through. By the end of the interview I felt like I could take both of them home to meet my Mother without any worries."—Jenne Yes Portal "A new documentary that’s taking top honors at recent festivals, Marie and Jack: A Love Story, is not your typical amateur porn. Sure, it’s like watching your neighbors do it—if your neighbors are married porn stars."
