On the Set: Jessica Drake’s Newest ‘Guide to Wicked Sex’

This article originally ran in the February 2015 issue of AVN magazine. Click here to view the issue online. A Wicked Pictures contract performer for more than a decade, since 2011 Jessica Drake has had another role at the studio: producing a series of educational movies. The 11th production in her Guide to Wicked Sex series is an introduction to BDSM. The idea has been on Drake’s mind for a long time. “BDSM was always on the menu, in fact it was one of the first topics that I presented to Wicked,” Drake says. “The reason why is because I’m a huge fan myself. Some people don’t realize that. Since I first started this series, it was important to me not to teach something until I had a fairly good understanding of it myself. Over the past year and a half, I’ve done a lot of research. I’ve read a lot of books, I’ve watched a lot of movies, I’ve been on a lot of different websites, exploring the BDSM lifestyle. Not just the outfits or the spanking aspect or here-I’m-going-to-tie-you-up-so-it-looks-cool. I’m doing it right now so its release will coincide with the theatrical release of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. There’s resurgence, and it keeps on happening. That’s why the timing is the way it is.” Topics Drake will cover in the production include the meaning of BDSM (“A lot of people don’t know,” she says); a definition of terms; safety, including safewords; submissive posturing; verbal dominance; spanking and different tools to spank with including paddles and floggers; restraints, including household items and specialized products (“I had so many companies give me stuff to use, from Sportsheets, Ouch, Shots, Adam & Eve, NS Novelties. I don’t want to make an infomercial but I’ll credit people at the end.”)  Keeping it beginner-friendly is “the tricky part,” the director explains. “I’m always particular with my cast because I want them not only to be comfortable with the subject matter, I want them to be good at it. That’s why I have Aiden Starr and Derrick Pierce. It is tough to scale them back, and I’m trying to impress on them ‘First-time couples are going to be watching this and emulating it.’ I want them to be slightly more gentle. I talk about that in the body of the project: How it’s important to start slow and build up. I don’t want to say that and then cut to SMACK SMACK SMACK on some girl’s ass.” And to increase the educational value, Drake is dispensing with the traditional taboo of mixing restraint and hardcore. “I’m going to let my people be in restraint and have sex at the same time,” Drake says. “It’s going to be obviously consensual and on the lighter side—I hope I don’t have to pull them back too much—but the reality is that for purists they don’t mix, but couples at home mix the two. The Fifty Shades phenomenon mixes the two. I’m going to do it because I think the reality is that people are doing it and I’d rather portray more realism.” The next scene is in a modern kitchen with Aiden Starr and Michael Vegas. The 4-foot-11 Starr is going to dom Vegas, and she starts the scene by taking him to task for playing games on his cell phone when he should be washing the pile of dirty dishes in the sink. “I’ve been at work for four hours, busting—not busting my ass, but busting other people’s asses at the dungeon. There is one chore that I wanted you to do.”  “I was thinking of that blowjob you promised me,” Vegas says. “Are you fucking kidding me?” Starr snaps. “I am very unhappy with you. All you had to do was clean up the damn dishes. There is a big pile of them in my perfect sink. How do you think that makes me feel? I feel disrespected. You want me to feel better, don’t you? You’ll do anything to make me feel better? Take your clothes off. You know what bad boys get? Tied up.”  She backs him against the fridge, raises his hands high, mimes tying them to a cabinet. She can barely reach his chin, they’ll do a close-up later. “You waste time, you make me fucking angry. I can’t have that. What do you think an appropriate punishment is? I think you’re going to have feel how unhappy I am.” She flogs his chest, asking if he’s sorry that he disobeyed her. As she raises her arms, her top comes off her tits. She turns him around, starts flogging his ass, tickles it, then smacks him again. She grabs his cock, tickles his ass, then asks “Are you ready for more?” He grunts assent. “Good boy.” WHAP “Pull my panties off with your teeth.” “Make sure you’re getting hard and soft,” Drake tells her two cameramen. “I’m hard now,” Vegas quips, but nobody even chuckles. “Permission to move on, captain?” Starr says to Drake, in a moment of mutual respect between the two performer/directors, before turning to Vegas and asking solicitiously, “Are you okay?” Back in action, Starr coos, “It’s time for you to show me how sorry you are” and sits on the counter. “Just look at it first!” she orders, pushing him away. “Tell me how much you want it in your mouth.” When he tells her, she relaxes her arm, letting him make contact. “Mmmm. Perfect Just like that. Good boy. You’re the perfect sex slave. Aren’t you? Yes yes yes just like that don’t stop you are gonna make me cum you are no good with fucking dishes but you are so good with your tongue.” After putting him through his oral paces, Starr hops off the counter—Drake runs in and grabs the apple box Starr was using as a booster, stealing it out of frame—and tells Vegas to lie on the floor as she squats on his face. She puts a condom on him and sucks his covered cock. She climbs on top of him and rides him cowgirl, slowly, teasingly, as Drake nods approval. He puts his hands under her knees and a cameraman tells her, “Stop looking at yourself in the reflection” and she defiantly flips him off. She turns around into reverse cowgirl, lets him fuck up into her, leaning back, hands on his chest. then goes in for the climax.  Starr hops off, pulling off the condom and sucking Vegas’s dick as she drops her pussy on his face, moaning, groaning vocalizing, “Oh my gawd don’t stop just like that more more more” as they build to a pop. As his hips buck and he gets close close almost there she orders him “DON’T CUM! I’m gonna count down from five and you’re gonna do it on one. You understand?”  Gasping, sweating, pinned down, he doesn’t have much choice. “Right,” he groans. “Five. Four, not yet, not yet. Three … Two … I can see your balls pulling up … One! Do it! Cum for me!”  He does. Right on cue. I spot Drake in the corner of my eye. She is astonished. Eyes locked on Starr and Vegas, her jaw drops open and she mouths a loud, amazed “FUCK ME!”—which would have totally ruined the take if she had vocalized it—before calling “Cut!”  “I was impressed,” she says.  We all were.  Above, Aiden Starr and Michael Vegas.
