It's for a couple's mutual enjoyment, BUT I'm not necessarily just looking for what people call "couples porn." If that's defined by vids like "The Couples' Guide to Sexual Positions," well, that's not what I want at all! I want to see stuff that turns both of us on, presented in a way that turns us both on. Help me find a vid with this:
1) Pro-performer attitude. Whether the talent is 18 or 25 or 35 doesn't matter. That they don't feel like fresh meat or meat puppets does. Based on what I've read, Evil Angel and Vivid exemplify this, but there may be others.
2) Plot--need not be overdone, just enough to provide some setup and continuity.
3) Lots of b/g action, especially cunnilingus (shaved a plus) and DPs, DPs plus oral, maybe DPPs. Anal, facials, girl-girl OK as long as they aren't the main point.
4) Mostly natural boobs; smallish ones could even be a plus, but the idea is mainly to avoid oversize and obvious chest augmentation. Guys with abs and biggish cocks would be nice, but more important is that the cock be normally shaped and that the guy be able to see it over his belly.
5) Condoms can be OK but should be relatively inconspicuous (i.e. transparent, thin, no party colors). Some of the guys in "A Couples' Guide" looked almost double bagged in an inner-tube. Would like to avoid this.
6) BDSM should be mild if at all...while "Behind the Green Door" was a turn-on, "The Story of O" had the opposite effect, with my avoiding the genre since then.
7) Minimum circus/act stuff (DAPs, peeing, cocktails, A2M, etc.) Yeah, it doesn't do much for me, but it makes my DH go limp, which is assuredly not how the evening should end...
Anyway. At least one such vid much exist...any suggestions for what it might be? Thanks!
It Had to Be You might be worth your consideration. It's a sweet, old-fashioned love story with a bit of humor.
It fits the following requirements: pro-performer modest plot mostly straight shaved cunnilingus (Kitten, Briana, Kylie, Temptress) reasonably fit males (Dillon is actually a babe, IMHO) no BDSM no circus sex
It has the following shortfalls: There are several pairs of large augmentations (Kylie, Briana, Kitten) There are no DPs The condoms didn't bother me, but I'm not sure if you'll think they're subtle (they're the pale pink kind, IIRC)
The lead in it (Holly Hollywood) is cute, and has adorable expressions like Alicia Silverstone's. The women are into it (April, Sunrise Adams, Petra, Alaura Eden). The women are all natural. There is a slight humor that had me smiling all through it. Very little plot. Lots of cunnilingus, a couple of anals, facials. Several very good blowjobs.
Okay, there's one g-g scene, and normally I'm not into those at all, (normally would fast forward those if I wasn't reviewing), but this one was GOOD. There are no dp's. And Mark Wood is in the first scene, but he plays a sleezy agent, and it works.
Make sure you get the hard, not softcore, version.
Oh,hey, my review of this one on video just posted here. ---------------------------------------------------------- edited to add link
Funny you should mention Hooray for Hollywood, I submitted a review but Steph's away from her desk for awhile. You can see the screenshots if it sounds like what you're looking for HERE
Nothing sez "I love you" like Perverted Stories 35.It won "Best Director" for Jim Powers at the 2003 AVN Awards,and the movie kicks ass.You get all the hardcore with 4 fun stories that will have your women draining your balls for weeks to come.Check it out.
Hmmm... I haven't seen Taken yet (sounds like I should), but Hamilton's post reminded me of Veronica Hart's Torn. Sorry I don't have a review available; I've been meaning to do one for over a year, but it's an older DVD that I purchased, and I normally give priority to screeners. I'll be giving it five stars when I do review it. It's a love story with a happy ending.
It fits the following requirements: pro-performer modest plot mostly straight Two DPs: one with cocks (actually an "airtight" TP) and one with toys reasonably fit males no BDSM (except light, humorous bondage in a fantasy scene) no circus sex
It falters on these requirments: There are no completely bald pussies (they are all trimmed short, however) There are a couple pairs of large augmentations (Kylie Ireland, Stacey Valentine) There are three lesbian scenes The condom "doughnuts" are sometimes visible
It might be hard to go wrong with anything directed by Veronica Hart for Valentine's Day. You've got three recommendations for her already on this thread: White Lightning, Taken and Torn.
Porn movie sounds a weird gift for Valentine's day or hubby is gonna enjoyed it more than Mrs LOL

It not strictly a couple-safe film, but Kimberley in Gangbang Auditions 8 is filmed in very nice warm romantic light. I think this could be perfect for porn consumers tomorrow looking for something light. Skip first scene of film, though, or rather safe it for normal day.
I don't know if this will help but DVSX has solo scenes as well as the hard core in each of it's DVD's. So you can watch the solo scene with your girl "that what I do " and when she leaves to the bath room or send her for a drink in the kitchen. Switch to the hardcore! Don't forget to switch it back when she comes in!!! lol
Lindi, hey, so I printed everything out and went shopping 2/13...
First stop, a neighborhood vid store with the adult section in the back. Finding nothin' on the list, I scoped out the overall selection. A six-foot case devoted only to the "Dirty Debutantes" series. Another dubbed "Amateur," which included Buttwoman Iz Bella, one miscellaneous Max Hardcore and the Fashionitas (only for rent, and it was out, again). Another couple of displays of mostly Wicked/VCA. One rack of girl/girl, one of boy/boy and the remainder of wall space dedicated to "Playboy Bunny No. ___" and "classic" X (didn't include Devil in Miss Jones, Amanda by Night, Misty Beethoven, among others.)
A couple of dudes stopped in and...stopped. Not that I look like Ron Jeremy. Or Jenna Jameson, for that matter, but I think it just freaked them to see a chick looking at porn.
By this time, I was a little impatient to find *something*, given it was the day before, plus, I also felt...a little awkward. Yeah, I KNOW it's said dudes' problem and not mine. But still, the last thing I felt like doing at that point was going to an all-X store and getting weirded out from a whole roomful of guys, or going to Good Vibrations only to find more "Couples Guide to Sex Positions" type stuff. Anyway, by that point, I'd narrowed the selection down to two vids, the Missing Sex Project 2 and LA Unforgiven. I chose the latter, mostly b/c I'd just read Julie Meadows' interview in the ADT archives. I give 'em a lot of credit for tryin' with the plot, but it was a little convoluted. No DPs but excellent cunnilingus; too many airbag boobs and the girls didn't even look aroused in most of the scenes. But hey, in terms of RL aftereffect, this vid definitely delivered, so I can't complain;-)
Ladies, has anyone else felt weird about the public shopping experience? I'm not one to be embarrassed easily, but man, it *was* kind of a trip.
Yes, honestly, I have felt weird at times about the public shopping experience. I think some guys feel that way, as well. Depends on how seamy the place is, too.
But there are no shops where I live, so my stuff comes in the mail now.
The only time that I feel weird is when a group of girls come into the store and get all giggly looking at boxes and start making silly comments like [high whiny Long Island voice] "Eeeew, that's gross", "Sheeeee's ugly".[/high whiny Long Island voice]
I want to scream at them "Either shut the fuck up or leave if you're so disgusted".
A *group* of chicks checking out porn? Wow, that is surprising. Come to think of it, every time I've seen a girl anywhere near the X-secs, she's with a guy. Generally, both are quiet...but then again, if one party wants "Emannuelle," and the other's sold on "Max Hardcore Extreme No. 4," raised voices could ensue.

I have had 1 moment when I was uncomfortable in a porn shop and it were girls that made me feel uncomfortable. I was the only customer in the store when they came in. There were 3 of them, very young looking. They didn't look at me or at the videos at all, but went straight for the toys, that were at the back of the store, but still in the same room. They were not there for laughs, on the contrary, they seemed to know what they wanted. They were talking very loud and were discussing the pro and cons of different toys, with a seriousness and conviction I would like to see in my students, when they talk about their supposedly favorite subjects. For some reason or other I was praying that they wouldn't turn to me for advice or something like that. Whatever the case, for as long as they were there, I couldn't concentrate on the videos I wanted to take home that day at all. I more or less fled the store and came back later, after half an hour. They were gone by then. I know. I am a coward.
Not really, the store that I go to is next to a bar/restaurant. They get a decent after work happy hour crowd. The "groups" are usually a few slightly buzzed girls who are not really there to buy or rent anything.

The shop where I rent movies has just about everything, toys, lingerie, sexy clothes, bondage supplies, lubes (in all flavors), video/DVD's, and magazines. It is pleasant, well lit, things are displayed very well.
Most times when I go in there is quite a mix of people, single guys, couples, single women, and groups of girls. Except for a couple of guys that I've seen scurry out, most feel comfortable and just simply go about their business of shopping for what they want.
It's been pleasant going in there, and definitely up market from the sleaze shops.
DenverDon, that reminds me of a place I went into once with a girlfriend, back when I lived in Colorado. It was called the Pleasure Chest and was right across the street from Boulder High. Check it out if you're still there.
Come to think of it, that's the first and only time I've been in a porn shop only with another chick. This was a while ago, back when Traci Lords was not only underage, but just starting out. You'd think things would've changed since then, that it'd be fine to turn to the guy or girl next to you and muse, "So where ARE the Jenna videos, anyway?" I would love this. But what I've increasingly observed is a kind of gender separation in porn retailers.
On the one hand are X-places like Good Vibrations. Most clerks and customers alike have a cunt, but fairly few are one. Still, the whole "womyn-empowered" emphasis could come off less than friendly to dudes. Sex toy descriptions talk about "clitoral and labial stimulation." Vid prices tend toward the high side. Mostly, they depict condom-only simple penetration. Some anal, but never DPs or anything beyond. You see a lot of the Candida Royalle/Nina Hartley genre, plus the "Couples' Guide to Sexual Positions" variety. It's OK but not the best value for everyone, especially at $40-$50 per vid.
OTOH are X-places like...everywhere else, where you can probably find more of what you want cheaper if you really wanna go into a stark, fluorescent box for box-covers lined to the ceiling. Titles like "Fuck Pigs 5!" "Assault That Ass!" or "Young, Dumb and Full of Cum!" predominate, promising to "make this bitch whore take it all, all the time...see her filthy fuckholes ripped open wider!" Knowing what just happened to Amee--and it's not that rare-- this dialogue is not a turn-on. And while respecting different strokes for different folks, it's difficult if you're a chick not to take it at least a little personally and get the fuck outta there.
The X-secs of mom-and-pop video stores seem to be the only middle ground. But being that they're about the size of an elevator car and shrinking, everyone's a little nervous in there anyway. Especially if they see a chick. Or are one.

FastForward,
The store I use is called Fascinations. Very close to my house. But I only use them for rentals because as you say the prices are high for purchase.
However, they have a pretty full line including a lot of the harder stuff. Just about everything except Max Hardcore which they don't carry.
Also, I've stood in line behind some girls that were talking about 'clitoral stimulation' and how well did the one they were holding the box for did the job was the discussion with the clerk. Quite amazing, and everyone just took it in stride.
enverDon: GodDAMN, I never thought I'd hear this from where I grew up. I now live in the place Boulder always tried to imitate, but outside a few Betty Dobson types, you don't hear or hear about chicks discussing their clits at the counter.
Wow.
Having just seen Henri Pachard's column, I feel honored, somewhat famous;-) Hey Henri, a coupla things, neither of them criticisms:
1) Explaining me as the thread starter, you wrote: "the contributor who began the thread calls herself "Fast Forward," and has previously described herself simply as "just another married girl that likes to watch porn."
Qualified like a true skeptic. I respect you for it. If mainstream shows like "PrimeTime Live" paid as much attention to accuracy and journalistic integrity as you did above, they might be worth listening to. I mean, for all you know, I could be Wanker AKA Wankus AKA Eddie Tour AKA Account Rep Morris Schoenberg from Islip. This might regrettably seem more plausible than the idea of a nice, married female raincoater. I *am* real, though, and from what others have said here, not really that rare;-)
2) It's weird to ME, too, "to suggest a porn title -- especially the kind that’s popular today -- as something suitable for sharing with your lover on Valentine’s Day." Intriniscally, the idea isn't far-fetched: Porn used to be marketed as "marital aids." But with extreme now mainstream, I could almost picture our evening: "Eww, is that real?" "God, that must hurt." "What IS that?" -- the kind of stuff we'd say at any circus show. However entertaining, it'd leave us drifting off to sleep soft and dry. It's your basic Extreme Anti-Marital Aid.
The list was great (and I'm adding your observations). To avoid ship fees and mailing lists, I like to go get things myself when I can. That approach may not always be as simple as it seems, if you're a nice married girl looking for porn.

FastForward,
The Times They Are A-changin, and it is a porn shop, though upmarket.
I have to disagree with Henri about the "No talking" rule. Other posters have given examples of people talking *too much* in the pornshop. I *wish* people would stfu! I myself have often thought "Those people are talking so loud that the kids on the other side of the wall renting Shrek must hear them". I most often go to a store with a backroom, so I think about this every once in a while. I have also seen people having family reunions in there: "Ahahaha! What's up Jimmay?" "Oh hey! What's up, unc?" "What are you doing in here, boy?" "Just gettin a li'l something, you know." "Well, don't tell your auntie I was up in here. She doesn't need to know, right?" "Right, unc. Hahahah" "How's your mama doin?"
One time I saw another woman leaving the porn section with her boyfriend, and heard somebody from the mainstream section yell "Old Jill, I see you up in the backroom. What are you doin in there, gal?" "Minding my own business, like you should be." [Everybody laughs]
I've definitely seen the giggling group of women multiple times. I've seen the lesbian couples who rate the toys and don't give a fuck how loud they are. I've never seen someone mumbling to himself, but I did see one guy touching himself through his pants in front of the gay videos. (I bounced out with a quickness.) Just the other day, hand to God, there was a 60ish grandmother and a 40ish mother buying a sex toy for the granddaughter/daughter who had just turned 18. The clerk didn't even let the girl in, she was so young looking and had no ID. But I've only been caught by someone I know once in nearly nine years of going into pornshops. It was a pornstore I don't regularly go into, so fate was against me. We were both like "Ey...what's up." I mean, we were both caught, so what could we say?
Another time I was in an all-adult shop and *I* started talking to someone else. My friend was examining handcuffs or something and I started making fun of her to the other couple that was in there.
Well taking a step back from my usual hardcore recommendations. For Valentines Day I would recommend Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story
This film is a well shot documentary that focuses on a married porn couple. The sex scenes are mild and I don't think anybody whoever views it will be offended or disappointed. The DVD version is great because after the documentary part you can watch just the sex scene and change angles. Very interesting.
I got the latest email promotion for 10% Off Valentine Treats at Toys in Babeland. Here is their list of Couples Videos:
Masque , Straight, with G/G, Reviews Zazel , Straight, with G/G, Reviews Eyes of Desire 2 , Feature film, Couples, Reviews One Size Fits All , Feature film, Couples, Reviews Justine , No records Thighs Wide Open , Feature film, Straight, with G/G, Reviews Being with Juli Ashton , Interactive, Comedy, with G/G, Reviews Phat Beats , Black, No reviews White Lightning , Feature film, Straight, with G/G, Reviews Indigo Moods , No records Exstasy , Feature film, No reviews Bridal Shower, The , Feature film, Couples, with G/G, Reviews Older Women, Hotter Sex , No records Immortal , Feature film, Couples, with G/G, Reviews Dinner Party at Six , No records Urban Friction , No Records Bobby Sox , Straight, No reviews My Surrender , Feature film, Couples, Reviews Flashpoint , Feature film, Couples, with G/G, Reviews Lovesexy , No Records House of Dreams , Straight, with G/G, Reviews Marie and Jack: A Love Story , Couples, All Sex, Reviews Sex World , No records Mirage , Feature film, Couples, with G/G, Reviews Mile Bi Club , Bisexual, Reviews
Even with 10% off, their retail prices are still high. It's interesting to compare their marketing hype capsule descriptions to the real reviews here at ADT.
I recently saw a film that might be just what you're looking for. It's called GIGOLO: A LOVE STORY, released by Elegant Angel, and directed by Axel Braun. It's excellent. The whole picture has a real dreamy feel to it and a plot that doesn't upstage the hot, intense sex. There are five sex scenes. One is a lesbian scene that is not only an eye catcher but important to the plot which leads to the final scene with Denis Marti & Silvia Lancome. The two of them go at it like animals and it is rough but still maintains a neat romantic feel thanks to Axel Braun's terrific direction. You should see it on DVD if you have the chance. It's definitely something that a couple could enjoy together who aren't looking for traditional couple's erotica. Have fun!

Thank you!...Thank you!...Thank you for this thread!
