Review

This is a series of vignettes, of a more romantic sort.

Perhaps our main complaint here is that these vignettes seem "over produced", too planned, too performed. There's nothing offensive about them, but there just isn't much to get excited about, either. The camera work tends to be better than awful, without too prominent a male gaze, but it is not great. Most of the focus is still on the female performer, so that we see little of her partner's face, except when it happens to be in the line of the shot of her.

The music can be a bit loud here, too, obscuring the natural sounds of lovemaking, though it fades out as the scene progresses.

Scene 1: Iwia and Jay Dee (♀♂)

★★★☆☆

Time: 20:11

Female Orgasm: Maybe, Cumshot: Pussy

Pleasure ✓, Passion ✓, Balance

They awake in bed. He strokes her ass as they kiss, and he works his way down to her pussy to eat her, then kneels up so she can suck his cock. They start fucking in spooning position and work through a few more positions. She reaches down and rubs her clit at one point and may cum. He cums on her pussy.

There's some sense of connection between them, and there is some passion to the sex, but it does not score highly on either of those scales.

The camera work is fairly varied, with a decent mix of shots. It's not as "artistic", though, as Lisa Loves or Kendo (which is not necessarily a bad thing). The gender balance, however, is not that great. The camera is very tight on her as she sucks him, for example, and if we see his face while they are fucking it is almost accidental. Also, when she is on top of him, it is shot from behind, so we really do not see either of them.

Scene 2: Lexi Belle and Chris Johnson (♀♂)

★★★½☆

Time: 20:07

Female Orgasm: Maybe, Cumshot: Stomach

Pleasure ✓, Passion ♀, Balance

They kiss and caress on a couch, and she lowers his sweats and sucks his cock, then she sits back on the couch as he eats her. She gets astride him, then turns around, and they work through a few more positions. She may cum just before he pulls out and cums on her stomach.

She is fairly active, which is nice, and there is a decent connection between them. But the sex lacks for passion, much of the time. She does seem to cum, though, just before he cums on her stomach.

The camera work here is similar to the first scene: not very well balanced.

Scene 3: Jessica Rox and Will C (♀♂)

★★½☆☆

Time: 19:37

Female Orgasm: Maybe, Cumshot: Mouth

Features: 69

Pleasure ✓, Passion ✓, Balance

They awake together in bed, and she then sucks him. They get into a 69, then gets between his legs and sucks him again. They start fucking wkith her on her back, and she may cum while rubbing her clit. They use a few more positons, and then she gets on her back as he kneels over her as she sucks his cock and strokes him over her face. He cums in her open mouth.

That ending could have worked here, if it had been set up properly, e.g., with some communication between them, rather than just seeming like a standard porn ending. And we ought to see his face somewhere during the build up to his orgasm.

The obvious other complaint is that there is not enough foreplay. She is sucking him within a minute and a half, and they are 69ing before two minutes.

Somehow, the way this scene is shot, it is very hard for the viewer to identify much with the performers. It seems as if it is happening far away at times. So you do not get much of a sense for any connection between them, though there is some passion in the sex.

The gender balance, again, is not very good. She is entirely the focus.

Scene 4: Katie Jordin and Ryan McLane (♀♂)

★★☆☆☆

Time: 18:31

Cumshot: Ass

He is reclining on a couch by the pool, in just shorts, and she approaches in a pretty peach bra and panty set to initiate sex. She kisses him rubs his cock through his shorts, then sucks him as she leans over him. She takes off her panties and leans over his face so he can lick her pussy, then lies on the couch so he can fuck her. They end doggy style, and he cums on her ass.

Unfortunately, the sex feels quite programmed. There is not enough setup, and there is no real sense of connection between them. The sex completely lacks for passion, and her vocalizations seem to be forced. She never really seems very aroused.

Couples porn at its worst, basically.

Scene 5: Adele Sunshine and Angelo Godshack (♀♂)

★★★☆☆

Time: 22:00

Female Orgasm: Maybe, Cumshot: Internal

Features: 69

Pleasure ♀, Passion ✓, Balance

She is sitting on the back of a couch, naked, and he joins her for some fairly ordinary sex. They kiss, and she strokes his cock, then leans over and sucks him as he reclines, after which they get into a 69. She kneels over his face, then she squats over him to start fucking. With her on her back and him over her, she reaches down and rubs her clit, cumming (or so it seems) just as he cums inside her.

This scene doesn't feel performed as much as it just lacks for passion. Badly.

The gender balance, as with the other vignettes, is not great, but it is marginally better here, and there is a bit more attention to her pleasure, as well.
