In the ephemeral world of porn
productions, it’s rare to get a chance
to revisit characters from past mov-
ies—and even more rare to find one-
self actually having the desire to do
so. But such were the memorable
characters and powerful storytelling
in The Submission of Emma Marx—a
2013 reverie on power and control
written and co-directed by Jacky St.
James for New Sensations—that
this sequel rose to the top slot on
AVN’s sales charts this spring.
It’s a safe bet that some sales
were fueled by interest in all things
BDSM sparked by the concurrent
Valentine’s Day release of the
mainstream movie Fifty Shades of
Grey, and all bets are on that Richie
Calhoun’s return as the strict Mr.
Frederick pleased many female
viewers. With Penny Pax in the title role and the ever-adorable Riley Reid return-
ing as Emma’s vanilla sister (who’s now willing to at least try a little kink), male
viewers will get their money’s worth from this title as well.
In the earlier movie, Emma set out to interview a mysterious businessman who
in turn peered deep into her soul and offered her a contract to become his submis-
sive. In part two, Emma is still living and working with Mr. Frederick; he chooses
her clothes, gives her daily tasks, and when she seems too close to comfort, he
pushes her just beyond the boundaries mentioned in the title. First demanding
that she imagine having sex with another man, soon he begins pushing to move
that fantasy into real life.
St. James is the sole director here, but she benefits (as do the studio’s other
directors) from the small, skilled and tight-knit crew at New Sensations: Eddie
Powell, Paul Woodcrest and Gabrielle Anex
ensure that the technical details are beauti-
fully handled, leaving St. James to do what
she does best: extract sensitive, thoughtful
performances from the cast.

AAAA
Kevin Moore lends his directing as well as his dick (but
not his face) to this safe sex POV treat where five young
lovelies are at their sultry and direct-eye-contact best as
they follow similar paths to keep Moore and his cam-
corder more than just a little bit interested and occupied.

AAA 1/2
Occasional fetishes surface amongst the sex acts found
in this well-mixed assortment of scenes with sexy British
nurses. Louise Jenson finds doggie with Jack Mason more
than just a bit to her liking—and she enhances it by fill-
ing her mouth with a ballcock as he whacks off upon the
stuffed orifice. Entertaining for sure.
