2024 proved to be one of the best years for pornographic films, and December was right on trend with unlimited selections of fabulous porno ranging from hardcore to fine Artcore. 

With so many brilliant scenes to choose from, it has been a joy to craft this column. Indeed, I’ve enjoyed every minute of sifting through hours of beautiful smut to find the most beautiful and elegant offerings for you.

Here are the wintery scenes that topped my list!

Ema Karter blew my mind the last time she got together with Tommy Cabrio in the Whiteboxxx. Six months later, she’s back, looking as good as ever, and with unmatched passion.

It opens with a seductive homage to masturbation and toys, with Cabrio entering with a tasteful platter of dildos and vibrators for Carter to choose from. 

Fashion-forward, I applaud the LetsDoeIt crew for Karter’s wardrobe. Simple, yet elegant, she opens the scene sporting all black. Thin panties and bare-midrift halter top demand your attention, and complement her flawless tan skin. And the decision to keep Karter’s boobs out from the start is brilliant, providing sweeping shots of her ample cleavage and luscious pierced nipples. A great look!

Give Tommy Cabrio a hand for some of the purest male-to-female cunnilungus of the year. He is as much pleasuring Karter’s clit as he is drinking of her pussy. It’s all captured from multiple angles with the occasional tit close-up, highlighting Karter’s pre-orgasmic arch. Even the sound design is great, capturing a symphony of lip-smacking wetness. 

And then they fuck. Karter’s pussy never looked better as Cabrio’s smooth shaft slides in, with her clit towering above that cute pussy piercing, and looking even more impressive against her cleanly shaved landscape. And for pussy lovers, there’s no shortage of mouth-watering closeups. Just watch the way she opens up in a side-straddle. 

It’s romantic, too. With gentle kissing, lot of eye-contact, and Ema Karter’s flawless smile. Every bit as impressive as last summer’s sizzling performance, Ema Karter delivers another beautiful and artful sex scene. It’s perfect for couples and pure sex fans alike.

Eva Generosi has been on my porn radar for a while now. Known for her sensual and erotic performances for art-porn projects like WowGirls brands, she’s the very definition of erotica.

When I heard she would be featured in Rocco Siffredi’s latest Hard Academy, I knew it would be something. This is EvilAngel we’re talking about. That means gonzo and hardcore, and with Erik Everhard, you’re getting a veritable fuck-fest. 

As much as I love my art porn, it’s incredible to see Generosi in this context. She’s gooned out of her mind and is living the pornographic dream. It’s not just this scene, either. She’s prominently featured throughout Rocco’s Hard Academy, including a spit-roast and two great orgies. 

A stunning newcomer, pornographic beauty Megan Murkovski makes her Private debut in a seductive all-sex anal performance with Leo Santos.

Murkovski’s all-natural look and long red hair will stop you dead in your tracks. At a glance, she brings to mind the legendary art-porn mistress, The Red Fox, and she has the stage presence to match, although Murkovski is already taking a decidedly more hardcore turn with epic fucking and great anal.

She’s very new to pro-porn, and you can sometimes see her betray a sense of nervous excitement. It’s a fourth-wall break that I’ve come to appreciate. Murkovski shows her humanity and is altogether relatable in her art. 

But she doesn’t come off as an amateur! The fiery muse is a natural, masterfully posing and arching to create the most seductive poses for the ever-watching audience. She’s great with the camera, too, making soul-shaking eye contact with those deep green eyes. And I love her subtle little moans.

She’s got a lot of potential and already has some exciting scenes set to drop in the new year. Get in on the ground floor with this one! 

Octavia Red’s year culminated in The Red Door, a grand star showcase for Elegant Angel. That’s over two hours of sexual artistry in four acts. 

Octavia Red has been one of those rare finds. Her timeless beauty and artful style evoke erotica from years past. In her, I see greats like Kyla Cole, Dita Von Teese, and Aria Giovanni rolled into one. And just like those legends, Red has consistently chosen roles that highlight fashion, design, and intrigue.

And where those artists of the past generally shied away from hardcore sex, Red has blazed ahead with thirsty all-sex masterpieces like The Red Door.

Witnessing Octavia fuck Gizelle Blanco and Scarlett Alexis with a strap-on is revelatory, as are her deep orgasms compliments of Blanco. And that comes off the heels of one sultry, elegant threesome with Charles Dera and Van Wylde. 

Then there’s her love affair with Nicole Kitt’s pussy, all while being delicately fucked by Nathan Bronson. And the grand finale sees her flirt with blowbangs and gangbangs in a three-on-one with Isiah Maxwell, Kyle Mason, and Vince Karter. It’s a beautiful star showcase that is well worth viewing!

All is right in the world when Blake Blossom is allowed to be herself under the gonzo-esque lens of Jules Jordan. And when paired with a legendary talent like Lexington Steel, it’s given that sparks will fly.

First, I’ve got to applaud the simple yet magnificent striptease. Like most JulessJordan films, the scene begins with a short striptease to satiate the senses, but some clever camerawork takes this one to the next level. Ms. Blossom teases against a brilliant blue sky on a magnificent balcony in the mountains while the camera drops low to backlight her bodacious bosom with the sun. Blake’s breasts eclipse the sun as the camera dips low in some of the most creative camerawork in the gonzo genre.

There’s a lot of spit play, too, likely the brainchild of Blossom herself. You’ve got to admire the way she highlights her awe-inspiring breasts as she squeezes them together, all while drops of saliva sparkle upon those pink nipples like a wet dream.

I’ve always admired Blake Blossom for her enthusiasm, and this film perfectly encapsulates her real-world goonette side. There are lots of smiles and laughter mixed in with earth-shaking orgasms. Better yet, she invites the viewer into the experience, breaking the fourth wall with friendly eye contact and a sense of camaraderie with the camera.

And can we talk about her fashion? Completely nude, save for some garter-strapped stockings, Blake is the epitome of sexual fashion. It’s the hair and makeup that goes hard. She sports a beachy and layered hairdo with natural makeup and gorgeous eyeliner wings that will leave you breathing heavily. It’s yet another standout moment in the life of one of the most important pornstars of the time.

Longform pornography at its finest, Angels.Love strikes gold again with Elena Vedem and Alice Kiss. For me, porn is at its best when it is allowed to develop, smoldering in erotic candlelight, and allowed to grow into the fire that it naturally becomes.

That’s the beauty of these hour-long all-sex threesomes. Angels give its performers space and time to express themselves to the fullest extent, following a loose formula but allowing the performers to dominate and dictate the scene sexually. You may know what acts are coming, but you never know quite what you’re going to see. 

It’s all suspense for the first 20 minutes until Alice Kiss starts riding dick. Rocking and twisting in reverse cowgirl, her nude body is a revelation. With pale skin, shaved pussy, and pierced nipples, she shines like a beacon of hope atop her mate’s hopelessly hard cock.

And hats off to the art direction, as always. Easily the most beautiful moment sees Elena Veden on her back. As she is gently fucked, Alice Kiss leans down, offering a sort of nipple-to-mouth 69. Better, the camera pans out to show an almost top-down view of Veden emoting something fierce to her lover’s constant thrusting. And, of course, Ms. Kiss saunters down to taste Veden’s love in action.

I’ve been fond of Clea Gaultier for years, and I've returned to her soft, art-porn work for Marc Dorcel. An elegant example of the height of French beauty and fashion, she has captivated the senses with her living art.

But if you dive into her filmography, you’ll find there’s more to Clea than fine art. She’s a master of hardcore pornography with a long list of extraordinary feats, including anal, DP, gonzo, and more. And when you pair her with Vinna Reed, a European porn legend who’s been fucking hardcore for a decade, you’re bound to see some action.

This orgy comes from the mind of Angelo Godshack, a master of gangbang porn. Hardcore out of the gate, Gautlier and Reed offer a full hour of thrills, joy, and frantic fucking.

It’s a remarkable orgy, with expert choreography on the part of the four-man team of cocksmen. The whole film feels almost as though it was shot in a single unbroken cut, and the men make simple work of dancing around the camera and shifting their ever-hard dicks into every waiting hole.

And kudos to Godshack and staff. An art in itself, they weave that gonzo-style hand cam in and out of the action, capturing the most incredible vistas and bodyscapes in extraordinary contortions of sex, including Vinna Reed’s superpower: double-anal-penetration. 

My favorite moment is when Ms. Gaultier is in the background. Reed is hunched over, taking a brilliant doggystyle DP. But if you look up, you’ll notice Clea Gaultier smiling as Liam Salvatore slowly fucks her ass. Here’s the thing: he penetrates at this amazing angle, putting back pressure on Gaultier’s pussy, and you can see her labia opening and closing in this come-hither motion. It’s so amazing.

It’s a tremendous amount of fun and a movie that I’d recommend to any porn fan. Even if the whole hardcore anal and DP deal isn’t your thing, it’s still a great intro to the art.

Shelena is a 24-year-old beauty in her first year as a professional porn performer. She first caught my eye last March with her Vixen debut, smiling and owning the stage in a masterful sex film with Matthew Meier. Then, she impressed me with her free and captivating style and subtle moans as she fucked Dmitri Shadow and Polly Yangs for Blacked.

By wintertime, Shelena had taken it to another level with three standout hardcore performances for December. First, for Rocco Siffredi in Hard Academy: Women Edition, with a feature spit-roast threesome and solid contributions to two orgies and a threesome with Eva Generosi! Then there was her Private debut, an excellent all-sexer with Leo Santos featuring some of her most natural and joyful sex yet.

She comes to the porn industry with experience, working as an OnlyFans cammer since at least 2021. Years of content creation have honed her skills, making her a natural and elegant addition to the 2024 class of porn starlets. Her cheerful joy and passion shine through, hinting at a love for pornographic filmmaking. 

Shelena is already an excellent porn performer with the potential to be a star. I wish her a long and successful career and look forward to seeing future pornographies featuring this gem.
