The zipless fuck, as 1970s femi-
nist novelist Erica Jong called it, is
the standard in porn: no muss, no
fuss ... no consequences. Not so in
the complex world of New
Sensations’ erotic couples features.
Consequences abound in Shared
Wives, a feature directed by Paul
Thomas and scripted by Raven
Touchstone for New Sensations’
new Swingers line.

and occasionally chafe.

in the characters’ own minds—a satisfying romp with great
visuals provided by Will’s trendy vintage motorcycle shop.
But Mindy still wants to flesh out her fantasies, and an
