D.O.P. 2/7/02

Female cast: Keri Windsor, Nina Hartley, Dee, Lauren Montgomery, Angelica Sin, Lola

Male cast: Joel Lawrence, Mickey G., John Decker, Kyle Stone

Audio/Video: Very well done. I can't think of anything that annoyed me, and that's saying something.

Extras: Bonus scene with Dale Dabone, 3 trailers, photo gallery, preview of the next episode, auto-restart, and bios, from which I actually learned something. Dee is Puerto Rican, and Keri is married to a guy she met shooting pool. The happy couple are also into the swinging lifestyle, though this was less of a surprise.

Condoms: Worn by all the men in every sex scene, appearing and disappearing as if by magic. Unfortunately, appearing all too visible during the sex. I have to say that condoms bring down the heat level considerably for me, though I understand and respect their right to wear them. Perhaps there are some different kinds that look more natural, or invisible. If not, at least consider showing the guy putting it on and taking it off where appropriate, as this seems to mitigate their appearance.

The Movie:
I'm a big fan of the HBO hit Sex and the City, so I was looking forward to this female 'buddy' series with hardcore sex. I wasn't disappointed.
Written and directed by a female, Toni English, I had the feeling while watching it that it could surprise me at any turn. While there were no major surprises, it's like we've been telling you guys for eons - "it's the little things." Okay, it didn't hurt to watch Joel Lawrence either, and the sex is just as 'hardcore' as similar fare, but it goes about things a little differently.
The females in this series have a more active role than cum dumpsters, so you will not see the usual 'expectant puppydog' facials. Thank you, Ms. English. I also got a weird feeling that the guys and girls actually enjoyed the sex very much, despite being deprived of this. Even I found it a little disconcerting at first. My finger hovering over that Fast-Forward button is a habit borne out of necessity, but there IS incentive to change, at last.

I applaud Toni English for breaking out of that log-jam of male oriented cookie-cutter porn, while showing us that the sex can be just as hot, if not hotter, than usual. In fact, seeing the preview of things to come in episode # 5 illustrates very well that our desire to do things a little differently should not be mistaken as a taste for 'vanilla'. I can't even hazard a guess about what's in store for us in other upcoming episodes, but that's what keeps it fun and fresh, doesn't it?

This is part 4 of a planned 12 part series, though you don't need to see them in sequence. Each episode has a theme, this one being marriage, and is titled 'Til Bad Behavior Do We Part'.
It opens with the four friends seated in their coffee shop discussing their favorite topic of conversation, men. Nina says that some men are intimidated by vibrators. Keri responds with "They ought to be! They don't snore, they don't demand blowjobs, and they don't leave the toilet seat up. If I want a mechanic or gardner, I'll look in the Yellow Pages."
You forgot one, Keri. They don't fart in bed, either. That's a biggie.

Keri's cast, not surprisingly, as the slutty one of the four, and her bathroom boink with Joel is the first on the menu. I remembered their nominated scene from Getting Even, so I expected another high energy romp, and they delivered.

Keri and Joel hook up in the men's urinal at a wedding reception. This makes for some hot wall bangin sex, as well as some irritable door bangin guests.
I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating. Joel is one of the very few guys in porn who gets turned on by turning the female on, and it seems to enhance the sex for him if she comes, too. He even cracks a smile occasionally. And why shouldn't he?
This was a hot scene, needless to say, that ends with Joel shooting his load on Keri's foot. Yep, you read that right.

Other pairings -
Kyle Stone and Angelica Sin.
Mickey G. does Nina Hartley.
Lauren and John Decker.

Another good scene was between Dee and Lola, surprisingly. I say that because there was no dildo jamming, or toys of any kind, and they seemed to be genuinely enjoying each other! They had met earlier and made a date, so there was a little 'first date' nervousness, which was a nice change from the "Hey, you're a female with a pulse, let's fuck" kind of pairings. It's not like they burned down the house, but it was more like I imagine two girls would do things, at least for the first time. And did I mention Lola's obvious oral skills? For once, I didn't have to fast-forward through a lizard-like tongue scene, also.

I swear, if this keeps up I might have to find another use for my right hand and index finger.
