I believe a successful AV lies in its ability to let viewers "see mountains as mountains and water as water," with a thousand people having a thousand different Hamlets in their minds. This work, featuring one of SOD's ace actresses, Suzu Honjo, in the title START-016—where she plays a sex service lady who cheerfully licks and cleans up erect penises and accumulated semen every day—is a perfect example. In this film, she takes on the role of a sex saleswoman, which isn't exactly rare in AV, but what's slightly different here is that her character is more straightforward. She's outright coming to the door for some action with the male lead, especially since it's branded with the word "sex." This is quite different from the usual roles like lingerie saleswomen or massage device sellers who gradually lure you into the sex scene step by step. In those, the actresses often play more passive roles, but not this time—it's all about getting straight to the point! The reason SOD has remained the big boss in the industry, standing strong in the dark world for decades, is no accident. Why? Because they always know how to make AV feel everyday, or in other words, turn our everyday lives into AV. Either way, it creates a strong sense of resonance for viewers, as watching AV is also a way for us to examine our own state of mind. So, what's the core of this work? I'd say it's "emotional value." As modern technology advances, people's sense of alienation only intensifies. Over the past decade, since smartphones came into existence, they've become ubiquitous—we have to carry them everywhere. With the rise of various social media, humans have become even more dominated by these devices. We're terrified of missing any message, even if it's not from our inner circle, and we fear falling behind on trends and news. Day after day, we consume loads of unnecessary information, and over time, our sense of self gets slowly eroded by these gadgets. When we're face-to-face, conversations dry up after a few sentences, but online messaging is a whole different story. This is what they call "social dysfunction"—people are becoming worse at talking, more anxious, and their thinking is getting more fragmented. In the end, we'd rather use inefficient texts than efficient conversations. That's why the "Z generation" is labeled as the loneliest one, as most people have grown accustomed to socializing through virtual networks. However, these virtual connections are often superficial, lacking genuine emotional support and understanding, while ignoring real-life interactions and emotional exchanges. This leads to a misalignment of emotional needs, making it hard for people to find true fulfillment. Therefore, Suzu Honjo's service provides that "emotional value" through the companionship economy—she always gives you a sincere and sweet smile, no matter what you ask for, and serves you until you're fully satisfied. From her detailed and deep oral techniques to her steady and unhurried cowgirl position, every thrust hits the spot. What really tugs at the heartstrings is how she gazes affectionately at her clients from time to time—this kind of service is truly the mark of a professional artisan! If you're recently suffering from the loneliness brought on by modern technology, why not let Miss Suzu Honjo warm your heart and give you a full dose of emotional healing?
