At a time when the adult industry is shaking from fear of litigation for extreme pornographic content, along comes Digital Playground's wonderful new title, "Jack's Playground" to remind us all of why we love XXX in the first place.

It's fun to be at Jack's place. There's hot sex, funny interludes wth sex dolls and cute girls. This is porn's version of MTV's "The Real World," basically a collection of home movies Jack made with some amateurs and some adult stars in and around his hometown of Santa Monica. There are lots of amateur companies doing this kind of porn and whether it's truly reality or not, well, that's anyone's guess. But I certainly enjoyed the ride.

Digital Playground's Robby D saw a few of Jack's clips of real girls and saw a future in it. What we get, I believe, is some of Jacks' work mixed in with some scripted work with real girls to add a hardcore element. But it works really well.

Jack doesn't mind poking fun at himself, using a hard dick as a microphone to open the show. Then we start with a 19-year-old brunette with some jeans on and her fly open, a pretty bra top encased in a jean jacket.

I didn't believe she was truly a "real" girl but she kind of worked the whole, "I'm a kind of a freak but I want to appear to be virginal and break into the music video business" thing. In some ways, watching this style porn is like going to see "The Hulk," you check in your views of realistic society at the door and allow the irrational to become normal.

So with that in mind, let's trudge ahead.

LIttle Dani giggles a lot, but shows off some pert, nice tits that have to be pretty young, to look at them. She's not shy about showing off her body. Jack adds to the fun with some hilarious "pop-up" captions stolen from VH-1's "Pop Up Videos" as Dani does a little strip and tries to begin a point-of-view blow job.

Jack's "Dad" calls as he's about to get the big blow (reality right?). Then Jack's buddy, Eric The Cock Blocker, walks in complaining and talks his way into the room. Eric eventually gets to screw pretty little Dani on the couch. It's realistic type sex: she rides him quickly, he goes mish and doggy before creaming into her open mouth. It's not a half-hour Wesley Pipes marathon screw. Mrs. Web tells me that the average man last 5-7 minutes anyway.

That's you, too?

Moving on. Next up we find a San Diego nanny, Katja, with a huge J-Lo ass wearing a tight blue shorts outfit that rings her hips perfectly. Jack is trying to convince her be in a music video by getting her nude and touching herself. Lucky for us, she obliges.

Jack calls Tyce Bune over to bone Katja and Tyce said he hasn't worked in two weeks and is "so fucking horny." Katja is showering off mounds of lotion she rubbed all over tits and and comes out to find "Cousin Tyce," whom Jack tells her is also in the music biz.

Katja's "audition" includes letting Tyce eat her out from behind while holding a rubber duckie on her ass, which I found strangely erotic, to giving Tyce a nice blow and wonderful cowgirl ride. Finally, Tyce gets to go backdoor on one of the nicest backsides we've seen on film in awhile. My question is this: are all nannies this pretty and this freaky?

Next, we got a long look at the feet of huge breasted asian porn star Loni and Jack, who apparently had a drunk sex night after seeing a band. Only Jack doesn't remember. In pops Eric The Cock Blocker again, and Jack has to watch again as Loni delivers one killer blowjob to Eric, warms up with some missionary and then gets a revere cowgirl ride to die for.

Eric, you are a damn lucky man. Look how Loni glides up and down his penis, while her breasts bounce and sway just so.

My only regret? Eric didn't tit fuck that beautiful chest.

Anyhow, Jack next visits big breasted Monica, his ex-girlfriend who has some serious pokies coming out her orange top. She teases him changing in front of him before he goes to visit Celeste and her girlfriends, which you know is going to lead to a sex orgy.

Instead we get a pretty cool masturbation sequence from leggy Justine, who looks terribly sexy in waist high lace stockings, before the sex dolls do anal sex in a public car (you just have to see it) and we go back to Jack's, where he's being visited by a cute brunette, Penny, who wants to go the beach.

Her boyfriend has cheated on her. Jack can help her of course. He's going to film her fucking and send her the tape to show him what he's missing.

She does a long, slow, very believable masturbation sequence paying particular attention to her clit with her fingers to palms type motions.

We cut to Monica, the ex, meeting Jack in his car wearing a see through mesh football jersey and nothing else. She dips down in the car and pulls out her breasts, playing with them as cars go by so Jack can masturbate off camera (thought the camera never moves).

Must admit, this is erotic and different, very true to life seeming.

Next Penny's boyfriend comes by to confront Jack about fucking Penny, which he really didn't, but he doesn't care. He's with another girl anyway. Now the boyfriend wants to make his own tape.

So Jack films him putting his new girl, a slender blonde, through a put-her-through-her-paces session that is highlighted with a nervous cowgirl ride and an open mouth facial.

And besides seeing Jack's asshole farting, that's about it. All first efforts are normally not the best efforts in porn, but this is an awful good start. We need something different, something not "Anal Asshole Invaders 247" and something not quite gonzo and not quite Vivid/Wicked.

This is that something different that a lot of porn aficionados are looking for. Future series can only get better. Jack's a guy with a good "camera eye," a sense of humor and some vision. If the sex can get hotter -- Loni-hot -- this is going to be must-buy series.
