Love & Romance

I've seen the features from which 25 scenes are excerpted for this 8-hour compilation, all of which play better in context. But this is still far better than porn's endless outpouring of re-edited programs, ranging from Wicked Pictures' dozens of 4-hour extravaganzas to New Dimensions/Digital Sin's uncountable number of advertisements for itself.

Perhaps my favorite of the bunch here is the very first segment: Katie St. Ives and Manuel Ferrara's climax from their classic Nica Noelle feature "The Teacher Vol. 4", but even that philosophical opus is best watched in its entirety. Ferrara and James Deen pop up frequently as workhorses for the label, though of course it is generally the actresses who take center stage.

I liked the thorough credits naming each title and pair of leading players for each segment, though porn's inevitable sloppiness rears its ugly head with the credit for (sic): "Family Secrets: Tales of Victoria Lust" in which Victorian era porn became personified as if Victoria Paris or Tiffany Lust was in the cast.

I have taken the liberty of adding to the cast list various non-sex performers who happen to be in the same clips as the leads, including unsung Julie Cash who adds quality soft-core in the background making out with Cyrus King in James Avalon's ensemble piece "The Swinger". It also provided me with a brief detective assignment, as "Austin Denikk" credited here on screen turns out to be the same actor previously credited as "Austin Matthews" in the original feature "My Daughter's Boyfriend Vol. 5".
