Pirates is a big-budget traditional porn. Super cheesy and kitchy, but also a lot of fun. This is the perfect porn for beginners or those new to viewing. Nothing too risque, but some great scenes that are easy to act out (don't require intense flexibility or super long cocks to "follow along" with the movie).

There are some great male/female single partner scenes with adequate amounts of foreplay and position switching to keep the viewer interested and aroused.

There are also a couple scenes involving 2 females and 1 male; however, these tended to be fairly weak. They felt like male/female single partner scenes (and were fine as such) with simply 1 extra person hanging out in the background. The third partner was massively under-utilized in each of these situations.

The strengths of the movie are certainly in the blow-job and female/female single partner scenes though. The ability of the female characters to relax their gag-reflexes and fully suck a full shaft is impressive. There is one incredibly arousing scene in which a male character directs the females actress's head down his cock so that she is fully sucking him in his entirety. Very hot and a scene that I have thoroughly enjoyed re-creating in my own bedroom. I can safely say that I learned a trick or two about sucking dick watching this movie.

There are also a few INTENSELY hot female/female scenes. These are certainly the strongest scenes of the movie. My favorite two were the scene in which 2 actresses fuck in front of a large group of sailors and a scene in which 2 actresses get creative in their play and use a candle (lit!) for vaginal and anal penetration. Those scenes definitely had me hitting rewind. My husband also loves to watch female/female scenes and so this was a great flick for us to watch and enjoy together.

Finally, this movie has become truly iconic. It is one of the most widely viewed adult movies of the time--important to have seen simply to be aware of its influences.
