I'm trying to ease my wife into the watching a little porn to spice up our life. The problem is that she's not into lots of things that are pretty common in most dvd's. So any recommendations will really help me out. Here's what I'm looking for.
Of course a good looking cast to start with. No anal , no A2M, no lesbian, no s&m or extremely rough sex, and preferably no condoms. MMF's would be o.k. with no dp.
I know that this puts alot of flicks out of the picture,+so any help will be greatly appreciated. In advance, thanks.

Welcome Titan.
For a start, you might try a few of the Vivid movies.
I you rent from a local shop, many of them will attach a label that it is "couples friendly" or some such thing. Key in on those for a start.
I agree with DenverDon. Vivid feature movies (as opposed to their "Raw" line) are exactly what you are looking for. They also tend to have a plotted story, which might help keep your wife interested.
Occasionally anal pops up, but even when it does, it is usually short and unoffensive as possible. Some Vivid contract girls don't even do acts such as anal and DP at all, so movies that feature these starlets are likely to fit the bill.
Welcome Titan. Vivid is probably your best choice, but I'd avoid Brianna Banks' features. She usually does anal and some of the scenes are not at all mild.
Probably some of the older titles are your safest bet.
"I knew a girl who liked the prong but alway brought her dog along..."
I would try older Wicked titles, 95-98, especialy when Jenna was there, also many Adam & Eve titles (they worked for my ex), Studio A/Andrew Blake, but they are extremely boring, Private has Gaia series which was intended for couples, and even though many panned them, they worked very well for for me, Jill Kelly Production videos with Haven (Haven Magic Touch, Beautiful). Avoid Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, Seymore Butts, Hustler... since they have all that you said you don't want. M
Man, I really hesitate to suggest this one, because I hated it. It does meet ALL of the criteria, however, except for the fact that condoms appear in two of the five scenes, and there's a small amount of anal stimulation (with a thumb) in the first scene. Here's the review; you can decide for yourself: On the Loose
I'd be cautious about the Vivid movies, though. Read the reviews carefully before you buy. Both Vivid DVDs that I watched last year (on a whim) contained anal sex, lesbian sex, condoms and slightly rough/violent undertones. In case you're curious, the titles were: Sweet Things Nice Neighbors
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. You might also try checking out the Femme productions directed by Candida Royalle. I haven't seen any myself, but they're supposed to be softer and targeted toward the female market.
It's not going to be easy to meet all those qualifiers unfortunately, but Karma is a wonderful movie that both of you should enjoy. It does have one lesbian scene in it however, but it's also the only anal scene (Dee fucking Jade Marcela with a strap-on), so if you can skip that one, the rest of it should do nicely. It's also up for an AVN award, and if you click on my link, you can see several screenshots of the movie.
I also have an extensive 'couples friendly' list of movies on my website that you might find helpful.
Good luck DB

DESIRES WITHIN YOUNG GIRLS, a classic from the 80´s. It´s spicy, romantic, funny, well-acted, has a good-looking cast led by the gorgeous duo Annette Haven/Abigail Clayton, and a cool story... in fact, it looks pretty much like a REAL movie. There´s some light fetish scenes in it but they´re treated with humour, not perversion (the entire movie is basically a romantic comedy with explicit sex scenes). I don´t recall any anal sex, but if there´s such a scene, it´s pretty quick and tastefully done.
And if TAKE OFF comes out on DVD, RUN AND RENT! It´s a modern version of THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY, with romantic overtones, excellent production values and the greatest ending in the History of Blue Movies. I actually cried during the ending. Yes, is THAT good.
Hey, Planet, thanks for mentioning Desires Within Young Girls. I remember being favorably impressed by Flash's review of that title, as well, and I should probably add it to my wish list. Annette Haven is gorgeous; I love her in Barbara Broadcast.
Just so Titan knows, though, I looked up Desires Within Young Girls at IAFD, and that movie does contain lesbian action (one g/g and one g/g/b scene). Still sounds like a winner to me, though.
Hey, I just realized Talk Dirty to Me might be a good choice. There's no anal, no A2M, no lesbian, no S/M, no roughness, no condoms. The cast is rather average looking, I suppose, but I never really know how to judge that. I'm kinda fond of ordinary-looking folks, and all these performers have real personalities.
Imperator liked it a lot (the equivalent of 5 stars); Rog was less enthusiastic (the equivalent of 3 stars); I'd put it in between. It's a cute story—not too much plot and not too little. I'd give the movie itself 4.5 stars, but the DVD packaging sucks. There are four minutes of compulsory ads before the main menu (including anal sex and one gape, so you might have her leave the room for that) and no real extras (the photo gallery, which consists of random stills, doesn't even play on my machine). For under $10, though, I can't complain too much.
(Edit 1/10/03: I'm now in process of reviewing this movie and have revised a couple of minor points above. I expect my review will be ready for submission in just a couple days.)
i like the idea of sticking to the classics (70's and 80's classics i mean). they suffer from artifacts and a grainy picture but they all have a lighthearted feel (that may mean cheesy for some) and the actors seem to really be having fun as opposed to performing. if you do your research on iafd (yogagrrl provided the link above) you should be able to find movies that meet your criteria.
imho, i think the candida royalle line offers nothing. i've seen two now (One Size Fits All and Eyes of Desire) and they were REALLY bad. she has a technique for filming which is supposed to be "couples friendly" but it is really amateurish. bad plots, bad acting, bad production values, and average looking actors is a recipe for disaster. also, like most said, any new stuff will have a little anal and a little lesbian action but this isn't neccesarily a bad thing since it isn't the focal point of the movie.
btw, have you checked with your wife about all of this or are you going to try and "surprise" her? has she ever seen porn before? the reason i ask is that most people have seen it and either they like it or they don't and if she doesn't be prepared to accept that and move on (without porn).
Thanks for the heads-up (or heads-down) on that. I'm sorry to hear those titles weren't better. One Size Fits All is a movie I'd like to review if/when it comes out on DVD.That's a really good point. When Titan wrote, "The problem is that she's not into lots of things that are pretty common in most dvd's," I assumed she'd already seen those things and didn't care for them. That might have been a bad assumption. He could've also meant those things don't appeal to her in real life.
People who are following this thread might also be interested in the "Turning a girlfriend onto porn" thread. In that particular case, the member who posted the question had watched a few movies with his girlfriend and was wondering if it was okay to try something harder. Here's how I responded to that:
My advice would be to strike up a conversation on the subject. You could say, "I've really enjoyed our times watching porn together. I'm thinking I might like to explore some different kinds of porn, but it's important to me that you have a good experience. Is there anything in particular you think you'd like to see? Anything that would likely offend you?"
It can be scary to intiate this type of frank discussion, but in the long run, it's actually safer than making assumptions. Most women are delighted to be asked about their likes and interests--it shows you really care about her.
What I like to watch in porn is not necessarily what I like to do in real life, and vice versa. The same might be true for your girlfriend. I don't think it's wrong of you to make some educated guesses and just see what happens. But if you work up the nerve to ask her what she likes, you might be rewarded with a very rich and interesting exchange of ideas.
If memory serves correctly there is a lesbian scene in Desires Within Young Girls and Fade to Black contains some anal sex. Your request is a hard one because every film that I have thought of contains at least one anal or lesbian scene. If you could relax the lesbian ban that opens up several titles.
First I'd like to thank everyone for the help. You guys and girls have given me alot of options to look at. To answer your questions, yes we have watched a few flicks together and the things I listed were her turn-off's. But for some good news, I tried Digital Sins Little Lace Panties 3 and it went great. There was only like a split second of A2M, shot from a distance at that! Her only complaint was that the same guy (Julian)was in almost all of the scenes, with a tool like that who could blame the director. I think I might chec out some of the other Digital Sin series that they put out. Anybody very familiar with their lines? Once again thanks to everybody for their help!

I've seen only one Digital Sin title (The XXXtreme Fantasies of Jewel DeNyle, which would probably not be an appropriate choice, due to the anal and lesbian action). So I'm afraid I can't help you there.
For those who are curious, though, my review of Talk Dirty to Me has now been posted.
