Initial Expectations: Adam & Eve has made some very nice compilations lately. I’m hoping to add this one to the list.

Initial Reaction: It’s just as good as Adam & Eve’s other compilations

Who Should Watch It : Fans of group sex that’s normally on the more romantic side

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who things sex should just be between two people

Audio /Video Quality: As usual with compilations, the audio and video quality aren’t too consistent. They’re both very good here, and some scenes were even better than I remembered them being originally. A couple of the scenes had slightly grainy video and a poorly balanced audio, but most of them were very good.

Music: Since it’s a compilation, the music changes quite a bit, both in style and balance. It ranges here between a great balance and virtually drowning all other audio out.

Menus: The main menu is simple, but does include a little animation and has a nice, friendly feel to it. The chapter menu is also very nicely arranged, and lists each scene by the source movie and the key performers in the scene.

Although nice and simple looking, the menus do have a couple minor problems. To start with, the main menu on both sides of the DVD is exactly the same, showing the same options, even though the second side doesn’t have any extras included on it. The chapter menu is confusing in the same way, with the first side appearing to include scenes one through eleven, while only containing the first nine scenes. The second side appears to contain scenes nine through nineteen, but instead contains scenes ten through nineteen. If you select one of the scenes that’s on the other side, it takes you to a screen that tells you so, but it’s still a little confusing and poorly organized. Finally, there are a few errors in the chapter menu where the performers are listed incorrectly that I’ll point out as they occur in the feature, as well as not listing several of the performers, who are normally male.

Disc Problems: There are a few names which aren’t listed correctly in the chapter menu.

The Feature: Group Sex 1 follows on the heels of some of Adam & Eve’s other successful compilations, such as Ass Angels Vol. 1, Ass Angels Vol. 2, and Ultimate Firsts. It’s organized in the same manner as the Ass Angels compilations, with the scenes nicely following each other up without any breaks to identify anything about the scenes. If you want any information about the scenes, you can go to the chapter menu which lists the source movie and key players.

Adam & Eve starts out this latest compilation with a scene from The Fiesta with Briana Banks, Ava Vincent, Alexa, Rita, Isabella, Suzy Sweet, Dale DaBone, Evan Stone, and John Decker. The girls start off with a little dancing before breaking into some almost immediate oral sex. Unlike many scenes where they cast decides to work on just the guys or just the girls, it starts with a nice mix of both guys and girls getting worked over. Briana Banks really stands out here as she does all she can to take every last inch of her partner’s cock down her throat. They soon move on to start fucking, but once again, the scene doesn’t follow a rigid formula, so some people fuck while others are still busy sucking. It’s further helped out since no performer overpowers anybody else, and people seem to switch around a little bit rather than staying with the person they start with. It also ends with some nice pop shots, all of which are facials. The video looks great, but some people might be a little upset because the music is the only audio. It’s not much of a problem here since it nicely adds to the scene and drives it very well. It’s an extremely hot scene, and a great one to start the feature off with.

Next up, fan favorite Tera Patrick starts things off Judy and some very nice kissing in a scene from Sex Island. Judy moves on to lick Tera’s pussy, but unfortunately Tera’s greedy and doesn’t reciprocate. Evan Stone walks in on them, and with a big smile on his face, sits down to watch. He goes over and warms up Judy’s pussy a little with his tongue before sliding his cock into it. Before Evan fucks Tera, she and Judy team up to give his cock a little oral action. Judy continues to work on Tera a little by licking her tits as Evan fucks her before getting a little bit of last loving from Evan while Tera kisses her. The girls team up one last time to take a little of Evan’s milk of man-esia on their faces. It’s a hot scene that has great chemistry. It’s also helped out by the fun and romantic feel of the scene.

Jessica Drake, Vivian Valentine, and Evan Stone get together for the next scene, taken from Fire & Ice. Jessica paints watercolors, and when her models, Evan Stone and Vivian Valentine, take a break she decides to join them. The girls start out teaming up to suck Evan’s cock before he eats Vivian. Jessica gets the honor of being fucked first, but form them on it’s almost all Vivian and Evan, so you don’t get to see Jessica work that much. She’s mostly there for support and gets her pussy eaten a little as Vivian takes it in each of her holes. Vivian does a good job here and takes it up the ass like a pro (which I guess she should, being a pro). Thankfully, she’s positioned so that most of the time you don't see her huge tattoo on her stomach. They end things with Evan popping on Vivian’s back. It’s a nice scene, but isn’t something that’s going to stay in your mind that long.

The fourth scene comes from Crystal Dreams with Ava Vincent, Lena Romane, and Alec Metro. Alec is dealing in precious stones and trying to sell them to Ava. She’s curious if the necklace she like’s is enough to seduce somebody with. Ava and Lena then work each other over while Alec watches and jerks off. Of course he gets to join in later, but Ava and Lena do a great job of teasing him beforehand as he jerks off. When Alec is allowed to join in, Ava sucks his cock while having him tongue fuck her ass. Ava has great energy, chemistry, and just overall sexuality that really drives this scene. She takes it from Alec in her pussy and then has Alec stretch out Lena’s brown eye. It’s an extremely hot scene and a really great group scene. It’s a little nasty, but not too bad.

Jill Kelly takes on Alec Metro and Evan Stone in a kind of futuristic looking bedroom in the final scene from Blue Matrix. Although sometimes I think that Jill is slightly overrated, Jill really looks very good in a slightly Victorian style corset with her hair done to match the style. She first meets Evan Stone and give each others’ nipples a little attention before Alec appears and starts working on Jill’s pussy and ass with his tongue. Jill starts out sucking Evan’s cock, but soon moves around so she can work over both of the guys with her mouth and hands. Evan appears to have really racked up the points on this day, since he gets to fuck Jill first too. Alec gets his turn as well, and gives Jill a good fuck until they both pop on her nice looking tits. Unfortunately, the audio really holds back this scene. The dubbing was horrible throughout most of the scene and made it pretty forgettable for me.

Sailor Lee Stone gets lucky with local harlots Tina Cheri (listed incorrectly as Brooklyn Rhodes in the chapter menu), an older blonde with not so good implants, and Alexandra Nice, a very nice looking brunette with horrible implants in a scene from The Puppeteer. Alexandra and Lee team up to start working on Tina, but things change around rapidly so that everybody can give and get a little oral loving. The girls nicely share Lee’s cock orally, which Alexandra takes all the way down her throat, a feat Tina tries but doesn’t succeed at. Since she appears to still need to learn a little about oral work, Tina laps at Alexandra’s pussy while Lee fucks her from behind, and then sits on Lee’s face as Alexandra rides him. It’s a little unclear whether Alexandra takes it in just her pussy or in both of holes, but it’s very clear that she enjoys Lee’s cum as he spurts it across her face and mouth. She moves Lee’s cock over to Tina’s mouth so Tina can get a little also, but it looks like she would have much rather kept it herself. It’s a hot scene that moves along nicely without ever getting bogged down.

Changing things up a little, Shanna McCullough, Cheyenne Silver, Johnni Black, and Anita Cannibal show their sensitive side in a scene from The Quick & The Hard. They start out on the porch of a western cabin, but start to feel the chill of the night air. Cheyenne uses her wise Indian knowledge to suggest they conserve energy inside. Since they decide not to wear any clothes inside, they keep their bodies moving in a large lesbian love- fest. This scene was a little disappointing, especially when one looks a the cast. With the exception of Anita Cannibal, I’m normally impressed with everybody in this scene. The girls do a good job of working over each other and changing things up, but some of the technical matters weren’t too much to my liking. The music was overpowering and felt very seventies-ish. There were also very few close-ups, which I also enjoy to some extent. Keeping with the western time period, there were no toys, and as much as I enjoy toys in all girl scenes, I’m really happy that Adam & Eve paid attention to the little details like this.

Continuing with meatless group scenes, Rebecca Lords, Shay Sweet, and Claudia Chase work each other over in a scene from Nick Orleans’ A Slave to Fashion. The girls rebel against a bad designer by ripping his clothes off before a show. I’m not sure how this is to punish any man, but since it takes place in the fashion world, I’ll assume he’s probably gay and thinks he’s going to melt at the sight of a little muff. The camera angles give this scene a very nice and unique feel, and mix the regular view that’s normally used with a view showing what the camera, which is recording the action, is seeing. It’s very good scene and the girls work each other over with both dildos and naturally. Shay really shines here as she gets a nice long rim job and does anal with one of the toys. It’s a very hot scene that I remember as one of the best in the feature.

Finishing off the first side of the DVD is current AVN Performer of the Year Nikita Denise’s scene with Mark Davis and Voodoo which opened Devoured. They start off at a table with the guys looking ready for a business meeting and Nikita dressed like a local girl in a Mexican or Spanish village. Nikita has a very real body and a extremely nicely trimmed pussy. Nikita nicely works over both guys without leaving either out for any length of time. Unlike so many other group scenes between two guys and a lady, especially when that lady has a nasty streak that comes out fairly regularly, one this doesn’t include a double penetration. It does, however, have some really great chemistry between the three participants and ends up as an extremely hot scene. It’s a great scene to end the first side of the DVD and an excellent choice for this compilations.

Starting off the second side of the DVD, Chloe, Mickey G., Ava Vincent, Mariah, Tina Tyler, Lee Stone, and Aurora Snow get together in the big group scene from Crystal Dreams. Mickey and Chloe pair up, as Aurora gives Lee a very nice blowjob while working his cock over with gloved hands and Tina and Ava try each other on for size. Mariah is left by herself, but that doesn’t seem to bother her too much. Sadly Aurora’s gloves, which I think are extremely sexy, don’t last too long but this doesn’t mean that Lee’s blowjob stops there. She keeps blowing him followed by Lee going straight to fucking her. Tina and Ava work each others’ pussy over a little before Ava bends over for a spanking from Tina. Surprisingly, Chloe and Mickey are slightly ignored and Mariah is almost completely ignored. Most of the focus here is on Aurora and Lee and Ava and Tina. It does switch back to Mickey and Chloe as he gives it to her in the Hershey Highway. It’s a great orgy but there isn’t much interaction between the couples, which I also really like. Lee and Aurora finish things off by Lee jerking himself off (for what seemed way too long) onto Aurora’s chest, and Chloe took Mickey’s blast on her ass.

Next up, Allysin Chaynes and Nina Hartley take on officially lucky guy Chris Cannon by a pool in a scene from Carnal Witness. It’s a fairly dark scene, with the lighting both helping and hindering the scene. The sex occurs at night, so the lower lighting does help with the mood, but it also makes it a little harder to watch. Everybody takes their time to work each other over orally before the fucking starts. Nina does most of the work here, with Allysin only helping a little here and there and taking a little poke near the end. . It’s a pretty average scene, that will probably disappoint Allysin’s fans and satisfy Nina’s fans.

Alexa Rae, later known just as Alexa, gets a mini-gangbang in a scene with Mark Davis, Brandon Irons, and Brick Majors from Fire & Ice. Mark Davis and Alexa head inside so Mark can help Alexa calm her nerves with a little internal massage. Brandon and Brick have some champagne on the deck and watch through the window, but and shortly after Mark and Alexa start to get intimate, they decide that they've had enough of watching and decide to join in. This was your typical gang bang scene, with nothing really outstanding about it. I was a little disappointed since I felt that if Alexa is already taking it up the ass and doing 3 guys, it's the perfect time for a DP. Unfortunately, there is no DP here. Keri Windsor also adds a nice bit of voyeurism by watching most of the scene from outside without any of the group knowing it. It’s a pretty average scene, but on the plus side it was done back when Alexa was still showing potential rather than a raging ego.

Shanna McCullough starts taking on Ruby in front of a fireplace as Billy Glide watches in a romantic group scene from KSEX 2. The girls undress each other and start to lightly play with each other, while teasing Billy and letting him smell Ruby’s panties. Shanna patiently licks Ruby’s pussy as Billy kisses Shanna’s ass before the girls team up to suck Billy’s cock. Just like his ego, Billy’s cock is easily big enough to share between at least two people, and the girls do a nice job of sharing it. Billy reciprocates by finger fucking Ruby and helping her eat Shanna’s pussy. Ruby continues to eat pussy as Billy fucks her missionary style, and then watches and plays a little as Billy fucks Shanna. They continue to change things around, and neither of the ladies really leaves the scene or is ignored at any time. Billy finally gives a decent pop on Ruby’s ass and Shanna’s waiting face below, and Shanna cleans up a little afterwards. It’s a very hot scene with great chemistry, but it does have a couple flaws. At one point one of the cameramen gets a little enthusiastic and gets a little of the camera in the shot. The lighting also seems a little low, beyond that of mood lighting. They’re minor gripes, since the scene itself is extremely hot.

Ruby returns for the next scene, this time with Taylor Moore, Alexandra Silk, and Barrett Moore in a scene form Getting Wet: Ladies First. The girls leave Taylor to pilot the boat they’re on and start to make out on the other side of the window in front of Taylor. Barrett starts out eating Alexandra’s pussy while Alexandra fingers her own ass, but Taylor can only take it so long and comes out to help Barrett munch a little. Barrett continues to munch on Alexandra, as well as add a few fingers to her pussy, but it starts to get dark so they head inside. Inside, Alexandra pays Barrett back with a little interest, and works her pussy over with a jelly dildo as well as her tongue. Once again, Taylor watches for as long as she can and then has to get involved. She leaves the controls with Barrett and takes Alexandra above deck to the circle staircase. Alexandra works Taylor’s pussy over with her tongue and a double dildo before getting on the other end of the dildo herself. Alexandra doesn’t really want all the work that goes along with fucking on a staircase, so she sits down to let Taylor eat her pussy. Tongue just isn’t enough for Taylor, who works four of her fingers into Alexandra’s pussy before the scene ends. It’s a very hot scene that has some nice fun in it as well due to somebody having to be at the controls. I was really kind of looking forward to seeing more of Ruby, so I have to admit to being a little disappointed that she wasn’t in more than ten seconds or so of this scene. It’s a minor gripe, and one I soon forgot as I watched the other girls.

Kylie Ireland checks in with her scene from The 69th Sense with Elle Devine and Kyle Stone. Kylie and Elle put on a show for Kyle before having him come over so they can suck his cock. The girls take turns riding Kyle while helping the other out a little until Kylie takes Elle’s face for a ride while she’s getting fucked by Kyle. Elle takes it up yet another notch by having Kyle fuck her ass before unleashing his guy goo on Elle’s great natural tits. It’s a good scene that I enjoyed a lot more this time than when I originally watched the feature.

Returning to Blue Matrix one last time, Chennin Blanc and Cheyne Collins watch Tina Tyler take on Herschel Savage and Evan Stone. The men are instructed to do exactly what Tina says. Yes, this is another sign of a fantasy world. In the real world you'd KNOW to do exactly what Tina says. Either that or Herschel and Evan are more than a little slow. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. This scene was a big disappointment when I first watched this movie. I readily admit to being a fan of Tina's (while watching I normally become a bigger fan, but who doesn't). Tina blows and jerks off the guys until Evan disappears. Even though I was disappointed, the scene is well done. My disappointment is completely due to the limits of the scene, since any red blooded boy (above the age of eighteen of course) wants to see Tina, a woman who shows that many women stay extremely sexual even after being able to legally drink and go to casinos, do much more than just suck cock and have her pussy eaten. I have to admit to enjoying it much more this time when I knew what to expect. Tina does a great job and the chemistry helps out the scene quite a bit. Although it’s only an oral scene, it adds another bit of variety to the overall compilation.

Ava Vincent checks in for one last scene, this time from Emerald Rain with Evan Stone, her now husband John Decker, and a performer I thought was Suzy Sweet but is listed in the chapter menu as Rita. I’m going to give Adam & Eve the benefit of the doubt here and refer to her as Rita in this review. After a celebration, Ava blows Evan while John eats out Rita, who’s sporting a little tribal face paint. The oral sex changes around after a bit, but neither lasts very long before everybody gets into some good old fashioned fucking. The couples keep things going pretty well but never trade partners. Ava finishes the scene off by taking Evan’s load on her tits while Rita takes a nice facial from John. This scene was hurt a little by the audio quality as it seemed fairly obvious that it was dubbed. Either that or a little less attention was paid to the audio, as there were a couple times where you’d hear the girl off screen rather than on screen. The video ratio also seems a little off here, like it was supposed to be widescreen but was stretched to fit a full screen ratio. It’s a warm scene and a little bit of a let down.

Going in the opposite direction, Vivianne, Jessica Drake, and Chandler take care of each other in a scene from Taboo of Tarot that’s complete with a lot of toys and some hot wax. Vivianne plays the high priestess with Jessica and Chandler as her slave girls. The scene is set in a combination of a modern bathroom, mainly the shower, and an ancient Egyptian style. It isn’t exactly couples friendly and includes a lot of hot wax, toys, and anal. Although not couples friendly, I remember it as the hottest scene in the movie. The girls work over each other great and with enough heat to warm every house in Montana for about three winters. The chemistry between the girls might help this one be liked by a lot of people who would normally be turned off by it.

Finishing things off is Briana Banks, Evan Stone, and Marty Romano in another scene from Emerald Rain. Evan joins married couple Briana Banks and Marty Romano for a celebration after he joins them as children of the water and the Earth. Since they’re children of water and the Earth, the scene takes place in the middle of a small creek. Briana’s implants are a little gross, but the rest of the package is amazing! She’s a gorgeous blonde with a definite sexuality about her. She does a great job of taking care of both guys at the same time and even manages the amazing feat of taking almost all of Evan’s dick down her throat. I think the only thing that stopped her from going the last inch was if she did, she’d start digesting it. She rides Evan reverse cowgirl next, allowing her to keep sucking Marty’s cock. Evan has to continually scoop water out of the river to cool himself off and I can see why! Not wanting to be completely left out, they turn around so Marty can fuck Briana from behind while she sucks Evan’s cock as he lays in the stream. She takes a great doble cum shot across her tits and in her mouth that gives this very hot scene a great finish.

Once again, Adam & Eve has put together a nice, focused compilation, that should please most fans of group sex. The scenes included here do a nice job of spanning the field of group sex without resorting to nastier sex. It doesn’t even get as far as double penetrations, which have rapidly become a staple of group scenes, but does include some wilder all girl scenes with lots of toy play and even some hot wax. The biggest problem with the entire compilation is the technical aspects. Although some of the scenes look better than I remember them originally being, they don’t sound any better. The audio on a few of the scenes leaves much to be desired, and holds back some of what should have been hot scenes. On the other hand, when you have over four hours of material to view, you can almost always find something else to your liking. Group Sex 1 should keep most fans of more romantic group sex busy for quite a while.

Extras: There isn’t too much here for extras, but with a four hour compilation I wouldn’t have expected many. Trailers are included for A Devil’s Tail, Emerald Rain, and Naked Hollywood. The photo gallery includes thirty photos that appear first in a unique looking abstract thumbnail format that looks really neat. When you select the photo it blows up to a larger framed photo that looks very nice. Finally, there’s some website information.

Themes: Straight, group, orgy, lesbian, toys, toe-ing, anal, rimming (male > female and female > female), spanking, gangbang, voyeurism, and oral

Raincoat Factor: Extreme

Overall: Most of Adam & Eve’s compilations run between about $9 and $24 with most stores offering them for under $20. If you’re a fan of group sex, this should be money well spent. There’s a nice variety of group sex, and although most of it is on the romantic side there is some more extreme stuff too. The technical aspects vary quite a bit, but most scenes are above average. If the four hours of sex isn’t enough, there’s also a few extras.

Note to Adam & Eve: Please pay a little more attention to your cast listing in the chapter menu. It’s great that you list the performers, but in the future please list all of them and make sure you get their names right.
