Many commentators here have missed the mark

The degradation of women theme can be a great turn-on, because in "real life," women hold most of the cards in regards to the sexual game. It's not that many women don't enjoy sex, but they can afford to control their urges, fully aware as they are that men are such unstoppable horndogs. It can be a trying process to persuade the gals to take off their panties, and even the so-called players -- who have read all about "negging" and the tricks to win at the seduction business -- can be forced to jump through the hoops. In effect, we have to put out in order to get them to put out, and there are times the process can be frustrating, if not humiliating.
One does not need to be a misogynist to get off on the fantasy of the tables being turned, and for women to get a taste of their own medicine. (Emphasis is on the word "fantasy." I can't help being troubled by the more vacuum-headed men who watch extreme porn, and start to think women should be treated disrespectfully in real life -- and I applaud most of the voices on this thread who have been turned off by the video in question, because real men don't enjoy the idea of "real" mistreatment of women, except in the dark corners of one's sexual urges.)
Most porn scenarios are ridiculous, with women throwing themselves at men. I guess there are a lot of undemanding males who just want to get to the hardcore action and don't care about how realistic the situation is. Apparently a lot of men get off on porn women being so absurdly promiscuous and horny right off the bat, with men they don't know. (Perhaps because that's so opposite the reality.) But there are other men -- as myself, and apparently in the minority - who prefer to believe in what they are watching, in order to get their juices stirring.
It's also very difficult to produce thoughtful and intelligent porn, which helps explain why there are a lot of nonsensical set-ups out there. To give an example of the rare kind that works, as far as the degradation theme, I recently watched an older "Milf Lessons" (by the company that used to do a terrific series entitled "Backroom Facials") with an actress named Ramona, where she played a conservative and vulnerable "older" (i.e., early thirties) woman on a job interview, and little by little, before she knew what was happening, she lost all of her dignity, while being videotaped. This is very rare for such a porno to work so successfully; all the elements need to click, including the innocence of the actress (tattoos don't help), the conviction of her performance (real-life women don't start saying "fuck" right away), and the legitimacy of the steps contributing to her breakdown.
I didn't know anything about the Meatholes site before today. I downloaded one episode featuring Dasha, which I found unexciting. A lot of the action had no heart, and nothing was offered to stimulate the imagination.
I then discovered this thread, and naturally became curious; I have just seen the Tory Lane episode. (One that is circulating at 177 MB, which appeared to be incomplete and edited.)
Now here is where I part with most of the voices that I have applauded earlier, given the love and care and respect they have for women, which made them disgusted with this episode. I thought we were going to be in for almost a snuff film, the way these other members carried on.
At the outset of the Tory Lane episode, one of the three creeps involved (the off-camera head honcho, whom I found the most irritating) asked why the actress was crying, and she gave several answers, a revealing one being that she knew that's what they wanted. Bingo; that set the stage for the entire goings-on.
I couldn't help wondering why she was making such outbursts while she was being roughly boinked; it's not like the two average-sized men (she even commented, "how can a little man have such a big cock") who were screwing her could have been applying unimaginable force, as though they were the Incredible Hulk, and inflicting terrible pain.
No, she was acting.
But even while going through the performance of having sex, revelations do slip through. At one point, one of the creeps was taunting our heroine, asking whether she was enjoying her rough treatment, and while at first she responded "No," with a laugh (and what seemed to be honesty), she admitted, "Yes."
It's not like she was "really" being abused. She was actually in command during the entire time.
What the other tsk-tsking voices here have evidently failed to pick up on is that it's all an act.
I am not up on my porn actresses, and I did some checking up on Tory Lane. I discovered one of her schticks is playing a dominatrix in the "Whipped Ass" site, some of which I am familiar with. She doesn't pull any punches, and acts no less "evil" than the offensive creeps from Meatholes.
in other words, they are all on the same page. It would be one thing if a less sophisticated porn actress were truly victimized in a video as this (and these three creeps appear quite capable of pushing the limits, displaying a contempt for women without trying) -- but Tory Lane is completely in on the gag. There is nothing all that shocking going on, whatsoever.
Where the video fails is in the area of what many have commented on; if I may point to the post immediately preceding mine:
"There doesn't appear to be any attempt at being erotic, only disturbing for the sake of disturbing the viewer?"
That is absolutely the case. As erotica, based on the two examples I have viewed, Meatholes fails in its primary purpose: to turn on.
