Foreword: The following review deals with the TS, tranny, transsexual, or other term used to describe those who were born men but took great efforts to become more feminine through implants, hormone shots, surgical procedures, chemicals, or other means. Most of them prefer to be called females and the related descriptors (some taking great offense when referred to as “him”, “he”, “dude”, etc.). They and their followers also tend to be very sensitive to being called “gay” or having their self-described gender identity questioned in any way. For the purposes of this review, it should be noted that I use labels in the descriptive sense only, my comments more in keeping with describing the basic elements for a general audience rather than one dedicated to the genre or specific performers, those truly into the subject likely already having the source material of these compiled scenes. If you are really into the TS genre and have yet to watch most of Joey’s releases in the field, you have been missing out as he is usually widely regarded as the best in the field, his mainstream credentials giving him a greater audience to spread the word for those even slightly interested.

Audio/Video Quality: The True History of She-Male Cock is a compilation of older scenes shot by director Joey Silvera for Evil Angel. The scenes were presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color, some of them certainly weaker than Joey’s best works of late but all looking better than that coming from lower tier companies. The lighting in most cases was fair to good and the composition of the camera angles such that it provided a full transition from the illusion of the performers as women to the reality of their peckers in full view. The bitrate varied a lot but it looked okay in most cases, fans of the genre might prefer checking out more contemporary material for the best looking footage. The majority of the audio was presented in 2.0 Dolby Digital English (some of the scenes in their original foreign languages with English subtitles) with a 48 kHz sampling rate and 192 Kbps bitrate, most of the performers easily heard in the 14 scenes but not all.
Body of Review: Joey Silvera is the world renowned director at Evil Angel known for a variety of gonzo productions. In recent years, he has literally taken the “she-male” category by storm, offering up what many consider to be the best of the best when it comes to the genre. As such, he now offers a compilation of 14 scenes in the form of The True History of She-Male Cock, the titles and cast listed below for those interested. While there are no new scenes exclusive to this production, those new to the TS genre might find this selection of scenes to their liking, few of the men looking as effeminate as some of the new players in the field but the array of body types and looks generally indicative of many in the field. My quick take on the compilation is that it is unlikely to make a lot of new converts and seasoned fans of tranny love will likely already have many of the scenes given Joey’s status in terms of high end transsexual releases, but check it out if you want to see some of the historical leaps made compared to the technically better made new stuff the director has been releasing.
The company website described the double disc set like this: “Nobody has done more to improve the XXX she-male sub-genre than adventurous director Joey Silvera - his vision for the exotic "third gender" delivered transsexual porn from back alley rip-off to creative, seductive hard-core entertainment. Aficionados of gender bending fun (as well as the merely curious) can see the glory of truly feminine chicks with dicks in "The True History Of She-Male Cock," a sumptuous, 14-scene double-DVD that collects Joey's hottest trannie scenes from the last five years. Elegant, sexy she-male goddess Vaniity shows up in two scenes: She takes a big dildo in her tight rear and then cock-reams genetic slut Ariana Jollee in the mouth and up the ass; later Vaniity goes solo, jacking her junk and cumming in her hand. Miss Goodbar, Nefertiti and Jamie Croft are all black girls with varying skin tones but uniformly hard she-cocks. Jamie sucks on a big cock, but Miss Goodbar and Nefertiti get their major boners mouthed by guys who wish they had such impressive manhood! Leticia Vlasak, Sasha Heveyn, Luana Araujo, Alina Santos and Luana Varela are pretty enough to fool you. The first three play with hard-cocked men; Alina takes on two studs, one black and one white; Luana V. plays with a genetic girl. Wait'll you see she-males Carmen Cruz and Vo D'Balm get off together! The erotic possibilities are unlimited when curvy, genuinely pretty femmes sport big, hard, up-front bonuses, and the girls of "The True History Of She-Male Cock" have their cock and eat it too.” Here’s a brief look at the scenes by cast and original movie, noting that some condoms were used for those still interested; pictures included to give you an idea of what the men looked like in their transgender roles:

Summary: The True History of She-Male Cock by director Joey Silvera for Evil Angel was at its best when it showcased performers like Vanity (the newer spelling with an extra “i” apparently coming after the scenes were shot a few years back) but your mileage will definitely vary substantially. For my tastes, I preferred scenes like Vanity doing genetic female Ariana Jollee or his solo scene at the end, the production as a whole probably best considered a look at how the genre has evolved over time with Joey at the helm. Considering the double disc release lasted almost six hours and served as a sampler for some well received genre flicks should be viewed on a positive note, most of the men able to maintain an erection unlike so many transgender performers from the earlier days in porn. As such, it might be suitable to rate it as a Rent It unless you know what you’re getting into, or as much, much higher for those wanting to sample older flicks before making the purchase but I think it would have been much better if the second disc had had some of the technically improved widescreen scenes where more effeminate performers like Mia Isabella make better inroads to that gender bending dynamic some fans simply adore. In short, The True History of She-Male Cock was a basic collection of transsexual scenes from the last six years or so, a few titles mined too deeply for my preferences, but an overall fair look at some of Joey’s favorite niche offerings.
