Review

Four vignettes with the common theme of sex between steps. The first and last involve a woman and her step-brother; the second a woman and her step-son; the third, a man and his step-daugther.

All of the stories play with themes of non-consent. In the first scene, for example, Karmen Karma has tied her step-brother Van Wylde to a chair so she can have her way with him. The third has Steven St Croix trying to get his step-daughter Sara Luvv to have sex with him, which she resists at first. And the last has Xander Corvus blackmailing his step-sister Presley Hart into giving him a blowjob by stealing her phone and threatening to post all her nude selfies.

Of course, these are fantasies, and plenty of people have such fantasies. And, ultimately, there is nothing non-consensual. The various characters are eventually overcome by passion. So this is not at all like some of the scenes in B Skow's movies for Girlfriends Films that we found so disturbing. But there was, nonetheless, be something a bit uncomfortable about it for us.

The sex tends to be pretty rough, or at least rougher than in the other movies in this series we had seen at this point. (We're more or less watching them in order, though we watched Our Father first.) That isn't a problem, but it does make the sex here feel a bit more 'pornish' than it has in the other movies. But we'll save reflections on that topic for another time.

The first three scenes are all terrific, with hot sex and excellent camera work. In many ways, our favorite was the third, though mostly because of the story at the beginning. It's very funny, and it's almost worrying what a great "creepy step-father" St Croix makes.

The movie won the 2015 AVN Award for Best Taboo Relations Movie.

Scene 1: Karmen Karma and Van Wylde (♀♂)

★★★★★

Time: 28:47

Female Orgasm: Yes, Cumshot: Mouth

Features: Blowjob, Deepthroat, Rough Sex

Pleasure ♀, Passion ♀, Balance

Nicole (Karmen Karma) has wanted to see her step-brother naked for a long time, especially because she has heard how big his dick is. So she has tied him to a chair. (It's a little unclear how, but never mind that.) And she is not going to take "No" for an answer. So she unzips his pants and takes out his cock, stands up, takes off her pants and panties, and sits down on it. He keeps telling her to stop, which she finally does, and she unties him. But he says he wishes she didn't stop, so they have sex.

The story only lasts about three and a half minutes, and it is a little borderline. He clearly is not consenting to what is happening. But remember: It's a fantasy. They do quite a good job carrying the story through the scene, as well.

The sex is pretty passionate, and there is decent chemistry between them. They do both seem to have a good time—though her vocalizations are a bit over the top—and she as at least one orgasm and maybe more. But we had the sense that the scene went on just a little longer than would have been ideal.

The blowjob is pretty rough, and she gags several times, but she is also smiling the whole time, and it is clearly something she enjoys doing. That, as we have said before, is important, and it allowed us to enjoy it with her.

The ending—he cums into her mouth—isn't at all pornish, but happens within the flow of the scene, and it is clearly something she wants.

Pornzak is not a common feature of these movies, but we have it here, and it's quite loud at the beginning. Fortunately, that does not continue.

The camera work is really, really good. There is a great mix of shots: wider ones, closer ones, face shots, and so forth. We lose him a little bit when they are fucking, espeically toward the end, though, and she is a bit more the focus.

Scene 2: Cherie DeVille and Logan Pierce (♀♂)

★★★★½

Time: 20:56

Female Orgasm: Yes, Cumshot: Stomach

Features: Rough Sex, Tit Fuck

Pleasure ♀, Passion ♀, Balance

Logan (Pierce) can't figure out whether his step-mother, Tina (Cherie DeVille), is hitting on him or just being naturally sexy. But he figures it out when she pushes him on the bed and says she needs to fuck him, so she can get it out of her system.

It's a silly little story that only lasts about two minutes, but it's funny, and it provides some context for the sex. And she is really terrific as the sex-crazed step-mother. They do a pretty good job, too, of carrying the story through the scene.

There is reasonably good chemistry between them, and the sex retains the passionate feel with which it begins. They never do any single thing for very long—and yet it does not feel disjointed at all. Both of them seem to have a very good time, and she cums at least a couple times, though she's fairly quiet about it.

The camera work is again excellent. There are lots of shots of both their faces, and we do not lose him much at all when they are fucking, though she is a bit more the focus, as usual.

Scene 3: Sara Luvv and Steven St Croix (♀♂)

★★★★½

Time: 33:34

Female Orgasm: Multiple, Cumshot: Stomach

Features: Analingus, Deepthroat

Pleasure ♀, Passion ♀, Balance

Steven St Croix is obsessed with his step-daughter, Sara. When she falls asleep on the couch, he can "no longer resist her", so he starts smelling her body and touching her hair, then sits next to her on the couch, lifts her shirt, and starts touching her breasts. She wakes with a start.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asks.

"I need to fuck you", he replies. It's very, very funny.

"What?! No, I'm not going to do that. Are you serious?"

"Completely", he responds, as if that were obvious, then stands up and undoes his pants. "Touch my cock."

"Daddy, I'm not...I can't do that. I'm your daughter", she says, unsure what the hell is happening.

"You're my wife's daughther", he insists. "Although it turns me on quite a bit...when you call me 'Daddy'."

They do an amazing job carrying the story through the scene. And the sex is really hot. They look very intently at each other and talk, sometimes very quietly, as if just for one another. And she cums at least twice. But it's a really long scene, with about 30 minutes of sex, and there are times when it drags a little bit. Here again, there might have been a bit more editing.

The camera work is generally excellent, though there are a few places where we lose him. But that is often when something is happening with her, e.g., it seems as if she might cum. There are also a couple continuity problems, when the scene changes too abruptly, or the close-ups don't match the more distant shots.

Scene 4: Presley Hart and Xander Corvus (♀♂)

★★★½☆

Time: 27:03

Female Orgasm: Yes, Cumshot: Face

Features: Cunnilingus Orgasm, Rough Sex

Pleasure ♀, Passion ♀, Balance

Xander (Corvus) is extremely annoyed with is narcissistic sister Claire (Presley Hart). So he decides to blackmail her by stealing her phone when she leaves it lying around and emailing himself all her nude selfies, then demanding she give him a blowjob. She decides it's worth it.

The story lasts about four minutes, which leaves about 23 minutes of sex.

The chemistry between them is pretty good, and the sex, though it starts in a sort of halting way, becomes much more passionate once he starts eating her pussy.

It also gets quite rough, with him choking her, putting his hand over her mouth, slapping her ass and tits, and fucking her mouth in a very dominant way. There isn't as much preparation for that as we'd like, and it is a bit implausible that they would have sex that way without any discussion, especially given their relationship. But it is clearly something she enjoys.

The camera work at the beginning is not great: We do not see much of him while she is sucking him, and there are several near-POV shots. It gets better after that, and there are times it is very good, but she is much more the focus than he is, and we lose him at times when they are fucking.

That's the main reason the rating is as low as it is—that, and the issues we had with the sex.
