Running time: 1 hour 52 minutes

There's an article in Livenews.com.au with the headline "Ms Average Has Sexier Body than Playboy Bunny, Study Finds." The crux of the article was about the size ratio of various body parts. I think it's really more about real women than glitz.

Abby Winters produces for two genres: lesbian and female masturbation. In both of them, they go for the Girl Next Door, the 20-somethings you see running the coffee press at Starbucks, or taking classes at local community college. They fill the every day fantasies a man has when he's sitting at a traffic light, ogling a woman in the next car over. If you ever wondered what she might look like at home with the house to herself for an hour, this could be it.

Thirteen girls in nine scenes of solo or tandem masturbation. Five of the scenes are solos, four are tandems. Nobody appears more than once. No toys, no Sybians, not even a body pillow. Each scene has a girl (or girls) by herself, masturbating in a way she feels is natural. They don't stop and change positions three times; they don't play to the camera; they don't talk dirty. It's the closest thing to being a fly on the wall without being swatted.

Even though the girls tend to be slim, in their 20s, and naturally pretty rather than glitzy glamorous, there is a certain amount of variation here. Each setting is different: beds, chairs, floors, in real homes, not just some old sofa pushed up against the back wall of a garage with a sheet thrown over it. Different styles, different rythmns, different attitudes. Among the duos, some girls are talkative, some less show. Some definitely seem to feed off each other, some seem to go off into a world of her own. If one thing doesn't do it for you, the next scene might just be perfect.

Special Features: None, just advertisements for other Abby Winters titles

Production values: up to Abby's usual standards. Video and sound are clear, clean and bright. Each scene has two chapters so you can skip around a little, and each scene is easily identified on the main menu so you can easily find something you fondly remember. As with other AW titles, it looks as if it were made by people who want to buy their own product, by people who care about what they do, rather than slapping together another movie to make the day's quota.

Final verdict: If you're familiar with Abby Winters in general and the Intimate Moments series in particular, you already know what to expect. If you're new, it's a great introduction. It's realistic female masturbation at it's best, well-crafted by people who care about their product. I could write a page of "you'll be dehydrated from cumming so much" type of stuff, but frankly I don't care. After watching a lot of bad porn that's shoddily made, slapped together with no expectation of a repeat sale, it's a joy to watch something that's really well done.
