Mike's Porn Reviews

Erotic Encounters

This is another Playgirl vignette-style video, again with eight unrelated scenes. Once again, it looks like any other couples-oriented straight porn, except that it dispenses with the long, involved plot that so many couples films gravitate to. Unfortunately, the sex is also pretty tame, but that's what you tend to get in couples videos. However, sometimes women like that style of video, and if you watch porn with a woman, you have to keep that in mind. Keeping that in mind myself, I let Rebecca rate these scenes rather than rating them myself.

Scene 1: "Rock Hard". A woman in a white sun-dress goes for the gardener, and they fuck in the garden. This is a very straightforward scene, with a Latin male and a brunette female. The guitar music in the background is a nice touch, as is the scenery. Scenery is very important for female porn viewers, as Rebecca often reminds me. The scene is a bit slow-moving for my tastes, but Rebecca liked it, so I give it a thumbs up.

Scene 2: "In The Alley". A blonde in business-like clothes needs a taxi, so she wanders into an alleyway to use a pay phone. There's a guy in the alleyway who's dressed like a typical beer commercial guy (jeans, white undershirt, cowboy hat), and he offers to give her a quarter for the phone, but she decides to have sex with him instead. Not necessarily a bad scene, and in terms of sexual heat it's about the same as the first one (actually, all of the scenes on the whole disc have pretty much the same level of sexual heat). But the premise of doing it with a guy in an alleyway was not a turn-on for Rebecca at all, so she cast a thumbs-down on this one.

Scene 3: "Dirty Laundry". A woman is hanging her laundry in the backyard when a man comes around. Naturally, they start to fuck. She is wearing a casual summer dress and he is wearing jeans and a white undershirt. The setting is visually one of those bucolic all-American small-town places. Unfortunately, Rebecca also gave the scene a thumbs-down the instant she saw the guy's face. In her words, "he looks like a retard". And SLAM goes the door on this scene! This is the problem with this style of video; it doesn't sell itself on sheer sexual energy or gang-banging or the size of the guy's cock, so its appeal is pretty much entirely based on the attractiveness of the performers and situation. Scene 2 had a situation Rebecca didn't like, and this scene had a male performer that she didn't like. Either way, it's thumbs down.

Scene 4: "At The Concession Stand". A brunette has a thing for the young man who works at the concession stand at the movie theatre. Again, I imagine this may be a huge fantasy for some women, but it did nothing for Rebecca. The mere thought of fucking a concession stand guy instantly turned her off, and the scene was unsalvageable from that point forward. The guy wasn't bad looking, but she couldn't get past the idea of fucking a concession stand guy. Thumbs down from Rebecca.

Scene 5: "Junk Yard Dogs". There's a new guy in town, and he's a mechanic. One of the town's single women goes to the junk yard to check him out as he works, and she likes what she sees. Naturally, they fuck. I suspected that Rebecca might reject this scene because she'd turned down a number of scenes before with low-class guys in them, but she liked this one. Maybe it was because the guy was Latino, or maybe she just has a soft spot for mechanics. Either way, this scene got a thumbs-up from my lady.

Scene 6: "Court Yard". This scene has no real setup. A woman is on vacation and she's fucking a long-haired California surfer pretty-boy. Rebecca liked this scene for reasons she couldn't even explain. She probably just liked the tropical backdrop and the look of the guy. Thumbs up from Rebecca.

Scene 7: "Upstairs Downstairs". A woman lies on her couch and fantasizes about the guy living in the apartment above her. That's pretty much it for the setup, as the scene shifts into dream state and we see her imagining sex with the guy on her couch. However, Rebecca didn't like it. She didn't like the guy's look or the setting. As she put it, we already have plenty of porn about people having sex indoors on a couch, and if she's going to watch porn in such an uninteresting setting, it might as well be a gangbang scene. "Boooooring" was her verdict. So, thumbs down.

Scene 8: "Vampyre". A vampiress and her vampire mate have sex. Rebecca liked the look of the guy (I believe it was Niko), and she liked the vaguely Gothic-looking setting. It looks like it was shot inside a castle or something, although the electric lights throw off the impression. Nevertheless, it worked for Rebecca. Thumbs up.

In conclusion, Rebecca liked four of eight scenes on this disc, although the other four were still watchable (unlike the previous Playgirl video reviewed on this site, "Deep Indulgence", which had one totally unwatchable scene). That rounds up to 3 out of 5 stars. But as with the previous disc, the movie is still worth it, if for no other reason than to indulge your lady with something that is geared more toward women.
