Like the previous year's release "Illicit Affairs", this Sweet Sinner compilation DVD is unusual in providing extra characters and back story in the sex vignettes, not the "all-sex" format of thousands of these porn collections from the vaults.
It makes for involving little scenes, rather than just staring at bodies humping away repetitively for hours.
These four segments are extracted from the label's popular "The Stepmother" series, all directed by James Avalon.
The 4 MILFs are all talented actresses, with the general quality of acting here impressive. Elexis Monroe has a character role as Logan Pierce's stepmom, with both of them unhappy with dad, who has left them together.
She is on crutches with a broken leg in a cast, and Avalon sensitively directs scenes of Logan helping her, in the nude, out of the shower, her leg cast wrapped in plastic to protect it from the water, and their subsequent sex scene in bed. It is significant that she remains in character, unlike so many standard porn scenes, especially in the "hospital patient" genre where once the XXX action starts all ailments are cast aside.
Alexis Fawx has a hot scene, shot at the "Immoral Proposal" mansion, seducing her stepson Xander Corvus. She is styled with great beauty, and even a bright white teeth smile worthy of a TV commercial. Their sex scene culminates with a confrontation with her husband Marcus London and brief supporting roles for daughter Adria Raye and her friend Charles Dera, the sort of scene-setting characters often absent or mere name-drop references.

James Deen is highlighted by a prelude where Deen expresses great anger in front of her at his estranged father Steven St. Croix. Without this sort of context the scene would play as strictly gonzo.
The Ariella Ferrera/Seth Gamble scene likewise ends with a "caught in the act" aspect when her husband Evan Stone shows up.
In an era when sexual performance is Everything as far as porn followers go, it is refreshing to consider this intentional throwback to the age of Adult Cinema storytelling (the theatrical 1970s era), encapsuled even in excerpt form.
