Directed by: Ernest Greene
Review brief: DescriptionThis is an instructional dvd with two scenes of massage leading to sex. General Impression Jeez, I always want to like these Nina Hartley dvd's. But it doesn't work out. I took a lot of notes on this, gave it a couple of weeks, and watched it again. I even got a second opinion from someone else. The results were the same. It has its good points, but I still can't think who I'd recommend it to. Notes As a serious massage primer, I'd like to see more emphasis on some basics. For example, no mention is made of warming the oil in your hands rather than ever pouring it directly onto the body (although we see the oil always poured into the hands). We see legs and arms stroked in a direction away from the heart, without any commentary. We see Alec break contact with Marie's body while he reaches for more oil.

Directed by: Luc Wylder
Review brief: Description Interviews, home tours, sex. General Impression If you want one of these, get number 4 in the series. The highlight of this one is the tour of Mike Horner's house. Many of the homes in this series look a lot like model homes in a condo complex, complete with standard new showroom furniture, and no personal belongings. Mike's home is different, and very cool. He shares his home with a Russian woman (she's not shown), and the two of them have integrated a happy jumble of kitsch and collectibles. We've got a souvenir Mexican tapestry, a 30's print of an Indian in a canoe, A Kilimt print, country-style wooden heart-shaped welcome plaque and fridge magnet goose, an aquarium, kilim rugs, cherubs, religious knick-knacks, a plush penguin, large fringed lampshades, busy potholders, and all kinds of other things. A shiny ceramic fireman and his dalmation sit next to a hand-carved and painted Indonesian mask, part of his collection of masks from all over the world.

Review brief: Description Interviews, home tours, sex. General Impression I got this one partly to have a look at Nina Hartley at home -- she and Ernest are supposed to be all about S & M, and I thought that might be interesting. But although we met Ernest, what we saw at their house was a very soft scene between Nina and Anastasia Pierce. This dvd has four scenes -- two of them girl-girl, and I shall dutifully describe what they looked like as I fast-forwarded them. And two really rocking boy-girl scenes. This surprised me, actually, as Luc's movies are usually a little soft. But, hot damn, the boy-girl scenes were terrific. Here's the place to go for hard-pounding, sweaty sex, women having a fabulous time, and no slapping. This one's not for you if you demand anal, though. Scenes First up, Nina Hartley and Ernest Greene. They live in an industrial loft space with concrete walls and exposed pipes. It looks cold and grey, complete with a sign on the wall warning of radiation, and a first aid kit.

Review brief: Description Fourteen blowjob scenes, compiled from other movies. See astroknight's more detailed review if you want a listing of the original sources. General Impression I liked the gentle, amusing set-ups - a nice variety of situations from seedy to elegant. I particularly liked the fact that these were all real blowjobs by women who know how to give one. We've all seen a few girls who seemed surprised and baffled to find a dick in their mouth, and there's none of that here. We've also seen plenty of times where the guy is pushing her head, with much sputtering and gagging, and there's none of that either. These women have skills, and the guys were content to let the women take the wheel. Sex With fourteen scenes, I think I'll stick to the highlights. Tina Tyler is up first, blowing two guys and also titty-fucking them, with a quiet intensity and much slurping in this scene. The only scene I wanted to fast forward was the third scene with Alexandra Silk and Sandy Knight in a car with Luc.

Review brief: Description Luc Wylder and Alexandra Silk take a crew of friends to Hawaii for some on-location sex. Condoms are used. General Impression There's mild to intense sex, with a nice, friendly frame of mind, and other reviewers have enjoyed this one. I'd like to feel the same way, but it just doesn't do it for me. There's a perpetual cheerfulness that puts me in mind of Donnie and Marie, with sort of a frat-party show-off insincerity to it. The girls seldom forgot to giggle. Granted, that will appeal to some. And granted, everybody enjoys themselves and the girls do have some orgasms. So let's take a quick look at the scenes. Sex Lots of squealing as Luc and Summer get it on in a hotel room in doggie and mish. She is absolutely enjoying it. Alexandra hangs around 'helping,' and saying things like, "Fuck her hard," and "Oh, that's so hot." Alexandra and Summer wander off a jungle trail with Valentino, who is treated to a bj from Alexandra, then RCG leaning on a tree. Summer plays third wheel.

Directed by: Candida Royalle
Review brief: Description Soft-focus 'porn for women' comedy with condom use. The plot is a satire about making an adult movie, mostly auditioning the male talent. Initial Impressions I like the idea of porn that loses the misogyny and formulaic aspects of a lot of porn, and that has more focus on the chemistry between the players. And so I always want to like Candida Royalle's movies, but they are so slow and boring that it takes major courage for me to pop one in the dvd player. I was thinking that maybe my memories of how slow these things are has become exaggerated. Or maybe she has changed lately and picked up the pace? Nope, I guess not! General Comments The plot provides a few minutes of chuckles, but not many for an 82 minute film. Much of what is meant to be funny is only a ludicrous flop.

Directed by: Nina Hartley, Will Renald
Review brief: Description 'Sexploration' might sound exciting and adventurous to you. But this movie is mostly examples of what a few couples might do in their bedrooms. General Impression Although there is some soft instructional talk, accompanied by twinkly music, this is basically a peek into the neighbors' bedroom windows. The instructional aspect is very basic, almost remedial. There is an audience for this movie -- people who are inexperienced or timid about sex may find it reassuring and helpful. A few good points are made, but the basic value of the movie is it's healthy, relaxed, playful tone. Sex Shayla teases her real-life beau Anthony, playing with his dick and nibbling at it through his silk boxers. There's some nice, sexy tease here. Nina sits on the sidelines making commentary, which is always a bit jarring to me. I would have liked it if she had not been in the room interrupting the couple, and had overdubbed the commentary later. As Shayla sucks Anthony's dick, Nina walks over to ask Shayla for a little kiss. Whatever.

Starring: Billy Glide, Chris Cannon, April, Kaylynn, Lee Stone, Jezebelle Bond, Aria, Michelle Michaels
Directed by: Fred J. Lincoln
Review brief: Description Typical couples feature with condom use. Chris Cannon goes to Hollywood, where he crosses paths with his new neighbor Jezebelle. General Impression Weak plot, the sex in every scene is solid but predictable. Sex April is seeing Chris Cannon off, as he heads to the big city to look for a career as a writer. She takes him out to the barn to say goodbye, where we are treated to her slurping, chirping blowjob. Then he wets her pussy down thoroughly, sinks his tongue in, and munches away. In reverse cowgirl on a hay bale, she is workin' it, then some vigorous doggie, and he cums on her tits. Next we see April's 'glitzy' Hollywood fantasy -- Aria in a gown, being kissed and sensually undressed by Lee Stone on the side of the road. Then she's on the hood of their car as he licks, spits, and pats her pussy, and tongues her asshole to great effect. Aria juices up his dick and swallows it with gusto. They do a standing fuck and anal mish ("fuck it, fuck it, pound it"). Doggie anal with plenty of hot talk, whimpering and wailing before he cums on her hip.

Directed by: Luc Wylder
Review brief: Description Girls who are fairly new to the business do tame things. General Impression Luc Wylder brings us some very attractive girls, then asks them a few mundane questions and gives them gushy compliments in his Mr. Rogers style. This is followed by lite sex with some condom use. Scene 6 with Melanie Jagger and Steve Holmes was very good! Sex In the first scene, we meet Cameron and Joey in the back yard. This is Cameron's second day in porn, and her third scene. Cameron takes off Joey's pants and starts slurping. Then he hops into the swimming pool to eat her out as she sits on the edge of the pool. Back out of the pool for some cowgirl, and a minute or two later he cums on her chest. She never gets overly enthusiastic. Next up is Felix Vicious in a girl-girl scene with Samy Bright. They sort through a box of sex toys and giggle, before kissing each other all over. It's pretty quiet until Samy starts using a rabbit-type vibe on Felix. Felix quite enjoys it, and returns the favor using a contour vibe.

Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: Description This disc has parts 11 and 12 of Naked Hollywood, a couples feature series showcasing the amorous adventures of four friends. Nina Hartley, Keri Windsor, Dee, and Asia Carrera play the four friends. This is a two sided disc with 181 minutes total footage. As a rule, condoms are used. The scenes have natural sounds plus lite jazzy music. General Impression This series has a consistent high quality. The characters are fleshed out a bit by a minimal plot. The sex is hot without being extreme. Part 11 After a brief recap of part 10, Keri Windsor meets with Joel Lawrence for a quick romp at his house before his wife gets home. Keri does an incredibly nice, teasing blowjob with great eye contact, and Joel then playfully spanks her face and tits with his meaty unit. She straddles his face and askes him to slap her clit, and he tongues her too. She's on her back as he works her over, then he pumps her in mish with a nice intensity.

Review brief: Description Interviews, home tour, and sex. General Impression I liked being able to see the diversity in lifestyles, and the people relaxed at home. But I expected the sex with a real-life partner to have more chemistry, and be less for-the-camera. Scenes After a bunch of phone-sex ads, we arrive at the home of Kim Chambers and Scott Styles. They have a nice airy apartment with trendy eggplant colored walls, and hidden webcams around in various rooms, for their website. We see their enormous collection of vitamin pills and protein powders in their spotless kitchen, and then we go to another room to see their pet marsupial rodents. Kim gets her pussy licked, and they do a bit of intense fucking in cowgirl. I liked the stop-start pace of it. But then they abruptly stopped to move to another room for some reverse cowgirl and doggy. Again I liked the pace, realistic and relaxed.

Directed by: Nicholas Steele
Review brief: Description This is a feature with a weak plot and average sex. General Impression No real stand-out scenes. Sex Starts with Randy getting his knob sucked in the shower in an average way, ends without a pop. Not a good way to open. Then Ashley does Steve Holmes in an armchair in a lobby - There's some good sex, and it should have been fun, but techno music chilled it, there were a lot of cuts to distant shots that weren't hot, and he plays with her anus but never goes in. Randy Spears is up next with Avy Scott, and I loved her fleshiness and bare feet, but she's not too responsive until the RCG, and as soon as she heats up, he stops her and cums between her tits. The music was video-game type sounds - bird-chirpy, R2D2 crap. Nikita and Steve go at it next, and she's nice, but again it just misses the mark. There's also an inexplicable off-camera cough, and about 20 seconds where the natural part of the sound just cuts off. Cameron Cruise and Jana Cova play together in a scene which is pretty, rather than hot.

Review brief: Description This is an instructional dvd on how to dominate a woman. It is a follow up to part 1 on how to dominate a man. General Impression It starts with another lecture from Nina, but she pretty much ran out of things to say in part 1. This is followed by two sex scenes. She succeeds here once again in making domination unthreatening, but it loses almost all of the heat in the process. Wussy. Sex The first scene with Shayla LaVeaux and Nina started out s-l-o-w. Nothing much happens for a while, as Shayla demonstrates how to get on your knees, how to put your arms behind you, etc. After a little kissing and some demos of how to lock and unlock cuffs, Nina licks some pussy. So far, no real domme energy, and neither woman really into anything. It can't be done any s-l-o-w-e-r. I was thinking, "This scene needs a dick." Shortly thereafter, Nina has on a red, clown-like strap-on. Then tons of lube are dribbled onto Shayla's pussy and the floor. Shayla finally gets turned on with the help of the dildo. Then she's sucking a smaller dildo and takes it up the ass.

Review brief: Description This feature has a lame story about a student at an art institute. General Impression The sex in this movie is okay, but not outstanding. It's a bit better if you skip to the sex, avoiding the plot, and keep the sound low. The dvd is somewhat redeemed by the bonus scenes. This is the world's strangest art institute. It's extremely upscale, and yet the easels are flimsy and cheap. All the female students are slim babes, and although the men wear what they like, the females have a uniform that includes a mini-skirt slit up the front to the crotch. Oh, yeah, and the art is just a step above stick-figures. You won't like the fake, wooden, lofty dialogue, either. Sex The first scene features Sondra Hall with Julian. He handles her fake tits before they expose each other's unfortunate tattoos. A big, nice dick, but the stupid sun tattoo above it is pretty distracting. However, when the bj is shot pov, it looks very nice, with some good eye contact. Condom RCG with no tit-jiggle.

Review brief: Description The well-regarded Nina Hartley makes an instructional movie about dominating a man. General Impression Like her earlier efforts in this series, it is rather lightweight. She is articulate and concise in her introduction, thus quickly runs out of things to say. The rest of the dvd is devoted to two sex scenes. The main usefulness of the dvd is to soften the idea of domination and submission, and to show it in an unthreatening light. She succeeds in this - the scenes look normal and healthy and should be a friendly introduction for a partner who might be uncertain about the idea. The emphasis here is on mutual pleasure, with no inclusion of discipline or punishment. This is gentle role-playing in which one partner is teased and pleasured, while the other teases, pleases, and is also pleasured. Nina keeps the focus on play, rather than politics. She discusses safety, limits, and safewords. She makes a nice point that setting limits makes possible wider ranges of sexual exploration.
