Lesbian Massage (2016)

Just when one is sure that the Oiler genre has been done to death, including the popular all-girl variation, Dana Vespoli mines some new gems from this mother lode. Casting is the key.

Newcomer to the Sweetheart Video contract roster Brandi Love shines in two segments, beginning with her co-starring as MILF age client to young masseuse Kenna James. I've seen them both perform many a quality Sapphic turn for Girlsway Films, but this is meet-up is at a much higher level.

The banter is standard, as is the slow and methodical laying on of hands that is de rigeur in an Oiler. But so seductive is crafty Kenna's segue from professional massage therapy to fingering, smooching and lesbian sex that the viewer is drawn into the couple's intimacy perfectly. My favorite moments arise in strictly soft-core content, as Kenna suckles at Brandi's nipple causing it to become erect in monumental length.

Brandi returns for a second helping but is told by comically officious Salon manager Dana Vespoli that Kenna has been fired, caught giving cunnilingus on the job -the dreaded lesbian! Vespoli's NonSex role is quirky in this and other segments and adds much to the video's whole.

But the quirky cake is taken by the other Dana, DeArmond, whose oddball mannerisms are exploited comically in the open scene where she bamboozles strait=laced Black masseuse Kira Noir into giving her a freebie 'happy ending'. That vignette makes good-natured fun at blurring the line between day spas where one can get a pro rubdown and massage parlors that are little more than brothels.

Some very fine acting by Magdalene St. Michaels, still great to see late in her career, highlights an unusually serious segment where she verbally abuses a newbie masseuse played by Sarah Vandella. Vespoli indulges her fondness for staging confrontations in her features, but the situation soon settles into regular lesbian after Maggie volunteers to show Sarah how a deep tissue massage is properly done.
