John B. Root is considered to be the most famous French porn director/producer in all of France, and has been honored nine times with European awards for his work—at least that’s what his site says, so who are we not to believe everything we read? Casting all cynicism aside, Monsieur Root’s official site Explicite-Art.com happens to be an extremely well-organized and large presentation featuring over 200 women in over 46,000 photographs and over 700 videos. Updated six times a week, there is a huge amount of high-quality content here featuring a variety of sex acts and solo model material.
To kick things off, you can either use the drop-down search menus to choose a girl by name or by the activity she’s participating in, or you can make your choice from the “Debutantes,” “Hardcore,” “Top 50,” or “Attic” categories. The Attic section somewhat interestingly features a series of models that “aren’t perfect” or “classical beauties.” The fact that they are still given space on the site is Root stating the fact that tastes often vary and that there is always someone appealing to someone else’s taste—something not often given the same consideration in “mainstream” entertainment as it is in the adult brand.
Whether you choose to view a model’s pics or videos, you’ll find that the majority of the women here have that distinctly sexy French look, with many standouts including: Sonja, Liza Del Sierra, Noemie, and some French porn stars who both you and I are probably not familiar with. Viewable in both high and low quality, each one is a professionally shot piece of art that becomes a visual checklist of sex acts including many ménage-a-trois, well-girthed dildo play, girl/girl action, DP, double-vaginal, smoking, masturbation, and a plenty of other traditional and extreme variations on the theme. There are also a few soft-core sets for those who enjoy the female form, but aren’t into gynecological studies. This section also gives you a chance to decide how many of the thumbnails appear on the page of each set at one time—another user-friendly nuance I haven’t come across elsewhere. Who said the French were completely despiccable?
Deciding to view one of the many videos here is also an exercise i decision making, as most of them are viewable on DIVX, MPEG, QuickTime, Window Media, and even Ipod. Both the high and low definition formats load very quickly and the sound and picture are crystal clear. Each varies in length, but generally run about 30 minutes a piece. All of them are in French, but there are English, Spanish, or German subtitles available if you click on the corresponding flag icons.
If you happen to be one of those people who likes to experience foreign films in their original context, you might want to either become completely fluent in the language before even considering logging in, or you can take a break from being a pretentious prick for a little while, turn your speakers completely off, and simply watch these dames get down French-style, besides doggy, missionary, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, or sixty-nine. It all looks the same no matter which continent you reside on, and these ladies are not only enthusiastic, but well-versed in the cum-yielding arts, although, come to think of it, it might actually help you considerably if you decide to take a break from the fucking to flip through the predominantly French message boards. So my sincerest apologies to any and all of you pricks, who feel it would still be beneficial to take up French in order to fully enjoy Monsieur Root’s site. I've come to prefer a free online translator.
