The Short Story

Initial Expectations: Chris Streams and 3rd Degree have both been extremely impressive. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Initial Reaction: It’s good, but not quite as good as most of what I’ve seen from Chris Streams.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a nice mix of sex that isn’t afraid to get nasty

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting soft and pretty sex or a lot of squirting action

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are every bit as good as I hoped for with 3rd Degree. The audio is clear and well balanced through most of the movie, but it does get a little soft when Chris is taking with Stacy in the third scene. The video is nicely done. It’s very clear, but the lighting varies a little. Most of the time this seems like it’s for artistic effect, but it does get in the way a little a couple times.

Music: There’s a little music at the start of each scene. It’s soft and sexy, and definitely starts the scenes out right.

Menus: As usual, the menus show some nice care. The main menu works together the boxcover with a bit of animation. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene, a scene number, and the name of the girl in each scene.

The Feature

As usual, Chris Streams has picked a common theme for his movie. This time the theme is water. As each scene begins the girls are doing something involving water, and often play around a pool.

Scene 1 - Melissa Lauren and Otto Bauer

The camera comes out of the pool to admire Melissa in a light purple sheer bra and panties before she climbs in to show off a little more. They move in and out of the water before Melissa breaks out a clear dildo to put to work on her pussy. Soon after she’s joined by Otto, who lets her take his cock out of his shorts and put it into her throat. Melissa grabs onto Otto’s cock before they head inside and lets him work on her pussy a little after teasing her ass with it. She has Otto fuck her ass from behind and eagerly sucks his cock clean when he pulls it out of her ass. Otto helps her work up to a technical DP with the help of her glass dildo before letting her lie back for a little anal missionary and hop up for a reverse cowgirl anal ride. Melissa kicks it up another notch by letting Otto pile drive her ass, and then slides the dildo in to join it. Melissa lets Otto stroke himself into her gaping ass and then fuck it in. Finally, she blows cum bubbles out her ass before Audrey rushes it to eat it out of her ass and remind everybody that sharing is caring.

I had pretty high expectations for this scene from the little I’ve seen of Melissa, and she definitely didn’t disappoint me here! She and Otto have great chemistry, and seem to know just what each other needs. I can see some people being a little uncomfortable with this scene at times. I know that Melissa likes to be pushed, but others might feel a little off with some of her looks at the camera as she gags on Otto’s cock. I also love the addition of Audrey at the end of the scene, which I think kicks things up another notch. This is a great way to start out the movie.

Scene 2 - Dawn Kelly and Mark Ashley

Brunette Dawn starts things out washing a car and hosing down her white bra and panties. She also squeezes out the sponge across herself before Mark joins her and starts playing with her pussy. She gets on her knees to try taking Mark into her throat before he lies her back on the good to work on her pussy with his tongue and fingers. Mark picks Dawn up to give her a midair cowgirl fucking before lying her back down for a little missionary work. Mark also gives it to her doggie style and lets her ride him in the cowgirls. Finally, Dawn hops off to let Mark splash a nice creamy load across her tongue so she can let it run out of her mouth and down over her tits.

This is a pretty good scene that I just couldn’t get into. There’s nice chemistry and nice energy, but there’s just something about Dawn’s look that didn’t do anything for me. This is one of those cases where I can look at the scene, see that everything there is nicely done and realize that I should be getting into it really well, but I just can’t.

Scene 3 - Stacy Silver, Chris Charming, and Mick Blue

Stacy starts her scene out floating around a pool on an inflatable chair. She comes over to show off for Chris and to talk with him a bit before let lets Chris and Mick go wild on her. Stacy drops to her knees to welcome them orally before bending over so that Chris can fuck her while she continues to pleasure Mick orally. Mick takes his turn fucking Stacy as she stands in front of him, and gets a little stroking when Chris takes another turn from behind her. Mick takes another turn facing Stacy while Chris warms her ass up with his fingers, and then fucks her ass doggie style while she gives Chris a bit more oral love. Chris takes his turn reverse cowgirl style before Mick joins in to double stuff Stacy. They also work Stacy up to a cowgirl DP and a standing DP before letting her have a gooey double facial.

This is a darn hot scene. Stacy does a great job working between the guys and balances her time very well between the two of them. She takes the double penetrations with the same ease as just taking a cock in her pussy, and always looks like she’s enjoying herself. Chris Charming even manages to keep his mouth shut pretty well, which was kind of like the icing on the cake for this scene. Stacy and the boys do a very nice job with this scene.

Scene 4 - Aria and Lee Stone

Aria starts out the penultimate scene bouncing her beautiful ass in and out of a pool. She lets Chris admire it as she plays with it, and even works a blue buttplug he gives her in and out of it. Aria comments that it’s not quite as good as the real thing, and giver that he is, Chris soon after lets her have a real one as well as the rest of Lee. She immediately takes Lee into her throat, and soon after lets him flip her upside down for a standing sixty-nine. Lee flips her back around for a technical DP with a midair cowgirl until Aria’s buttplug falls out, and then lets her have a reverse cowgirl fucking until she squirts all over. She continues to squirt as Lee fucks her ass, and sucks his cock clean after he reams her ass in midair. Lee also gives it to Aria’s ass from behind before moving back into her pussy. Lee launches his baby batter into Aria’s pussy to finish things up, and she squirts it right back at him as soon as he pulls out.

This is another smoking hot scene. For anybody who’s watched Lee and Aria together, this shouldn’t come as any surprise. Aria frequently turns out hot scenes, and more often then not they’re when she’s partnered with Lee. This is another of those scenes, and it moves along at nearly a perfect pace while Aria looks like she’s having the time of her life. Lee just kicks things up another notch, and lets Aria take things even further. I know a lot of people skip past Aria, but with scenes like this they really should be giving her more attention.

Scene 5 - Audrey Hollander, Otto Bauer, and Mark Wood

Audrey starts things out playing along the edge of a pool. She shows off her nearly bald pussy and plays around a little before moving over to let Otto fuck her throat while Mark watches. She moves over to give him a little oral love as well as taking both cocks into her mouth before grabbing both cocks and taking them inside. Audrey lies back so Otto can fuck her snatch and lets him work back and forth between her holes a few times before sucking her ass off his cock while Mark goes to work on her holes. The guys also work Audrey over doggie style and even double team her. They start with the standard double penetration and then both move into Audrey’s pussy. They follow it up DPing Audrey reverse cowgirl style and then doubling up on her ass while she sees how many fingers she can cram into her pussy. Finally, the guys splash their liquid love across Audrey’s face and let her swallow a little down.

This was an okay scene. It looks like there’s some very nice chemistry between Audrey and the guys, but hearing somebody should “Open your ass you fucking whore” turns me off about as often as does the thought of Janet Reno naked. I mean, yeah, Joey Silvera might be able to make both things work in one of his Road Trip movies, but most of the time it just doesn’t work. Audrey does a great job trying to be a superslut, but she does so in a way that makes it seem like she’s begging for attention. That attitude never does much for me even when I think the performers into it. I’m sure there’s a lot of people with a different thought on that, and I’m sure this scene will work much better for them than me.

Wetter The Better is a pretty hot porno. Chris Streams does a nice job with the water teases, and as usual brings in a little variety to his scenes. I like how he adds a little underwater footage to start things out as well as keeping things simple by talking with Stacy before her scene. There’s normally nice chemistry in the scenes, and Aria and Melissa easily led the sex in the movie for me. Unfortunately, a couple of the girls didn’t do much for me (namely Audrey and Dawn), but I think some of that is personal preferences that many others won’t have. As usual, Chris does a very nice job balancing his camera work and helps things look nicely beautiful. Wetter the Better isn’t Chris Streams’ best work, but it’s still well above average.

The Extra Stuff

Trailers are included for Don’t Tell My Daddy, We All Scream for Ass Cream, CamelHoes, Up’r Class, and Crack Addict. The photo gallery contains roughly thirty great looking snapshots. There’s also a cumshot loop and a behind the scenes featurette.

The behind the scenes featurette lasts about fifteen and a half minutes. After a quick talk with Lee Stone about the weather, they move over to chat with Aria in the makeup chair. It moves on through a few photos with Stacy before catching up with Dawn before she gets changed. There’s a bit of fun in back before she moves out to have Chris show her what he’s looking for and a quick talk about squirting. Melissa gets her turn after they’re done with Dawn, and gets oiled up and shown what Chris is looking for to play with his underwater camera. There’s even a little of Audrey giving Chris wood. It’s a nice behind the scenes featurette, and definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed the movie.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, tease, toys, masturbation, anal, ass to mouth, DP, DAP, rimming (female > female), cumfarting, cum eating, squirting, and DPP

Raincoat Factor: Very high

Condom Usage: None

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many of 3rd Degree’s DVDs can be found online for between about $16 and $25 with quite a few stores offering them for about $20. I’d rent this one first. I’m a big fan of Chris Streams’ work, but this one didn’t work for me nearly as well as his other movies. There’s still some hot sex, but it’s a bit more inconsistent. There’s also very nice technical aspects as well as a bit of effort put into the extras.

Note to 3rd Degree: Thanks for putting the effort you have into your behind the scenes featurettes. They really do add a lot to the overall DVD. A few more chapter breaks would be great in the future as well.
