Teenage Twins and Other Tales of Incest Play [Porn-o-rama]
Posted at 8:34 PM Aug 12, 2008
Hi folks! Mikey Mongol here, back on the porn beat. It turns out that retiring from porn journalism isn't that much different from porn retirement -- often temporary. Just think of me as a moustachioed Asian Belladonna. Or Janine. Or Tiffany Mynx. Or...
Unretiring makes me think of when I first started out writing about the dirty movie industry, he segued smoothly. One of the first movie reviews that I ever wrote was of a picture starring the Russian(?) twins Sasha and Misha, and I noted in it that twins in porn often have sex together, but never with each other. How little I knew! While that's true now (at least domestically), the other night I stumbled across a 1976 gem of a flick called Teenage
Twins, that features the Young twins, Brooke and Taylor, canoodling. That's right! Honest-to-God lesbian twincest, which as we all know is the very best of all possible cests. Take that, Cambria list!
Unless you're a horror fan like me, you might think pick the twincest is the best part of the movie. Or the relatvely rare mid-70s anal sex scenes. Or the masturbating-with-a-Bible scene. Or the mother-daughter-stepdad threesome scene. Or the stereotypically perfect funktastic bass-and-flute bow-chicka-bow-bow soundtrack. But if you are a classic horror enthusiast, what you'll probably enjoy most is is the fact that about halfway through the movie, there's a sudden appearance of the Necronomicon! That's right -- the Mad Arab's legendary tome itself, straight from the pages of the February 1924 issue of Weird Tales. Man, someone out there in '70s pornoland was a great big nerd.
I think that's fantastic.

For the Necronomicon alone, I must see this film, even if it doesn't lead to tentacle rape!

Oh sweet, sacrilege.

I do love Golden Age porn, especially when it includes backdoor action! It's interesting how 70's porn really pushed the envelope in terms of taboos and genre blending, much like mainstream film of the same decade. And then both porn and mainstream film reigned itself back content-wise in the 80's and beyond, even though there is still good work with established for formulas. But what company could get away with the actual incest component as well as Bible masturbation without some conservative group raising Hell? Metaphorically speaking, of course...

Wendy: It's not an especially good-looking prop, but... Necronomicon!
Ellie: Let ye who have never rubbed one off with the good book cast the first stone!
Viv: So good to be back.
Brian: I think that I've seen stuff like that made in the last decade or so. On the straight side Extreme Associates got pretty blasphemous, and there's always The XXXorcist. On the gay end of things, I distinctly remember some Brazilian priest-themed porn about five years ago(?) that went over that notional line.

Mikey: Interesting, good to know that the envelope can still be pushed from time to time! I guess most would fly under the radar of anyone who would try to surpress it anyway... it's not like The XXXorcist was released in 3000 theaters nationwide or something!
