Interview: Serena, Queen of Kink

Staying Saucy in Sausalito

The retired Queen of Kink regales our editor with lustful tales of yore.

Serena... the chameleon should be her horoscope sign. While porn devotees recognize her pictures, and many recognize her in person (as she describes in this exclusive interview), they are hard to put to actually describe her. Her hair, naturally honey blonde, has been platinum, red, black, and a multitude of shades within. Her figure has ranged from quite slim and boyish to big boobed and well rounded. She has played the All American girl type to perfection, as well as the kinkiest harlot. Serena was one star who refused to be pigeonholed or typecast. She tried everything at least once, she swore, and detailed a number of titillating adventures for our readerships delight. Her wild nights in New York, her notorious affair with Jamie Gillis, her mysterious illness, her retirement from "the business". All these areas are spread wide open for your reading pleasure.

CAV: To start things off, I should mention that I'm somewhat in awe of your reputation. Your reputation is that of "The kinkiest woman in porn".

SERENA: Oh no!

CAV: But you know that?

SERENA: Well, I have all kinds of reputations. I just know that I'm infamous. (laughter)

CAV: Is that reputation accurate? Do you deserve that reputation?

SERENA: Well, I'm a pervert, I'll tell you that up front. I'm very much a rebel. During the sixties, even though I was very young, I was very anti-establishment. And just to be in the porn field takes a certain amount of rebellion.

CAV: I agree. Why do you think I'm doing this?

SERENA: As far as being the kinkiest, I've tried just about everything possible, not always on film, but most of it. I played around heavily and found, after six years in the business, true love and a domestic scene. And I'm real happy and sort of straight again. So it was a one=way kind of period in my life, where I was real promiscuous, trying to find what I needed for my soul. It was pretty wild, for sure!

CAV: How old are you?

Small Town Girls (1979)

Kandi Barbour

 Play-Around magazine selects San Francisco as the setting for its "Most Exciting Sex Experience" contest. Four girls from small towns are picked as finalists to compete for the $50,000 prize. Cindy, Barbarella, Ann and Danielle have just 48 hours to act out the fantasies they've submitted in written form to the magazine. Without their knowing it, the magazine has assigned a horny stud to join in their adventures, and verify their stories. The sex fantasies of the four girls range from wild sex on the deck of a sailing yacht, to kidnapping and bondage, an orgy under hypnosis, and intense sex with a handsome stranger and a virile chauffeur.

Starring Valerie Darlyn, Dorothy LeMay, Kandi Barbour, Shirley Wood (Sharon Kane), and Serena. Watch or Download "Small Town Girls"

 

Getting Off (1979)

CAST: Desiree Cousteau, John Leslie, Serena, Chrystal Royce, Kathy Kaufman, Ken Scudder, Pat Manning, Connie Severs, Don Gomez and San Francisco's Ultra Girls

If getting off is all you care about, then "GETTING OFF" may be the movie for you. Film students and 'cineasts' should seek out more substantial fare, as this oeuvre by Hayes DuPree is more like a plate of hors d'oeuvres than a square meal; but if spicy tidbits tickle your libido, you're going to eat this one up!

WATCH OR DOWNLOAD "GETTING OFF"

Desiree Cousteau, John Leslie, and Pat Manning are the nominal stars, but most of the really hot stuff comes from the somewhat anonymous supporting cast. DuPree has strung together some down and dirty 'loops' in a lewd necklace of carnal gems. Each sex scene is hotter and nastier than the one before, and the sound of rustling raincoats rises rhythmically from the audience as they keep time to this crescendo of lust. One is tempted to tap along.

The technique of making a feature out of unrelated sex scenes with a little "transitional material" thrown in to "tie it all together" may result in a film lacking unity in the Aristotelian sense. But who really gives a shit? I mean, we go to these things to get hot, right? If we want culture, we'll go to a film with subtitles. If we want a hard-on, we go to cinema with a capital SIN.

The transitional scenes of "GETTING OFF" are mostly lower-case; but the loops between are definitely capital X. The women seem possessed. Like sharks in a feeding frenzy, they gobble flesh and lap up the juices. Such involvement, such commitment is admirable in any endeavor; in erotic films, it's an unexpected bonus. These girls look as thought they're in it for the fun, and wouldn't stop fucking if bombs started falling.

The set-up for the story goes like this. A dominant mistress, played by Pat Manning, shows off her new sex slave (Desiree Cousteau) to one of her regular customers, John Leslie. Pat makes the girl lift her skirt for John's inspection, then slowly shoves a rose up Desiree's twat (note to the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Pussies: the rose was de-thorned).
