Consent Scene 1: Ivy Lebelle

'Consent' starts with Dana Vespoli and John Stagliano explaining in frank language why this movie should happen. Do porn performers have the right to do practically anything if they consent to it? Do new performers need to be protected more because they feel they can't stand up for themselves? The targets of this first episode are Ivy Lebelle and Manuel Ferrara. In a documentary-style investigation, Ivy intimately reveals herself to be the belle of this ball. She exposes her inner motives and her rocky journey to intense sexual pleasure. She does not avoid uncomfortable experiences. Manuel Ferrara's insights and controlled abandon explain why he is a six-time porn Performer of the Year. Rough sex is 'like a dance,' as Ivy experiences it in a hardcore performance with Manuel. We have the pleasure of seeing slapping, spitting, biting, gaping, choking and deep anal fucking on display in this intimate expression. Directed by Dana Vespoli. Camera by John Stagliano.
