Young M.A Made a Porn

I watch a lot of porn, and there’s this constant frustration—you’re trying to actually get off, but the editing is terrible, the dialogue is unbearable, someone’s moaning wrong, the guy’s just going through the motions, the cumshot gets botched, or the whole thing cuts out before it ends. You’re lying there thinking, I should have directed this.

Young M.A apparently had the same thought. The rapper just made her directorial debut with a porn film called The Gift. It features Ana Foxxx, Gina Valentina, Honey Gold, Jenna Sativa, Shyla Jennings, Anya Ivy, Elena Koshka, Yara Skye, and Zoey Reyes fucking their way through a mansion somewhere in California. There’s technically a plot about a virgin who gets corrupted, but that’s mostly just structure.

You can watch it free on Pornhub.

I watched it. It’s actually well-made—attentive to framing, pacing, intention in a way most porn isn’t. If you only get off to extreme stuff, the real degradation kind of thing, this won’t do it for you. It’s too professional, too composed, clearly the work of someone who cares about filmmaking. But if you care about that too, The Gift delivers.
