While Max Hardcore hasn't gone soft, this round of Anal Auditions is definitely missing the familiar Harcorian edge they first carved out Max's niche in the anal sex marketplace. There are no specula, no outrageously degrading banter or behavior and, perhaps as a result, not a lot of real heat.

The only genuine intensity here comes but briefly during Don Fernando's rump-reaming round with Inari Vachs, who outdoes herself as a soft-with wannabe model. And this is due more to Vachs' native eroticism than anything with having to do wtih the familiar Hardcore dominant-submissive aesthetic.
