Office Seductions

Nica Noelle's porn label Sweet Sinner is devoted to romantic (what used to be classified as "couples") adult entertainment, and a serious tone is standard. For the opening segment of her OFFICE SEDUCTIONS series she switches to a more nudge-nudge, wink-wink approach, resembling standard porn in this respect, but still including the romantic content once the sex scenes get rolling.

Feature follows a storyline but is closer to the separate vignettes structure that overwhelms porn today. Opener has Darryl Hannah (a performer who bears a striking resemblance to her namesake) showing new girl Satine Phoenix around the office, and filling her in on the back stories of her co-workers.

A creepy bald employee Derrick Pierce is reading a girlie magazine which becomes relevant as he gives a textbook demonstration of sexual harassment regarding newbie Satine, but improbably succeeds in humping her (and this being porn, she enjoys it and ends up participating enthusiastically) in the office.

Tyler Knight, whose work I had particularly enjoyed in the mixed combo edition (#21) of the TABOO series, has a field day as the boss, using as many euphemisms and hints as he can think of to cajole suddenly dense Darryl into servicing him in his office. Noelle's approach is so extreme in taking the serious issue of harassment in the workplace as comic fodder I'm not sure all viewers will dig it.

Third segment is basically extraneous to the rest of the show, as Sweet Sinner's early regular Alan Stafford (doppelganger for Guy Pearce when viewed from the right angle) goes home to his better half and delivers more mixed combo sex, humping the lovely Misty Stone. This is not a seduction and has nothing to do with the office.

Finale brings plot threads together as horrific meanie Magdalene St. Michaels, previously playing it brusque as the v.p. who humped her way to the top, suddenly pours on the charm while insisting that Stafford service her. There is a convincing symmetry between segments two and four with the genders reversed, as Noelle ultimately shows all this nonsense is based on power rather than sex. But it is the sex the fans demand, and it is delivered solidly.
