A romantic couples’ DVD is
usually thought of as filled
with soft music and gentle
lovemaking. Generally, that
is true, but here a winning
amalgam of tenderness and
A
flat-out energetic sex is a rare
successful exception to what
one usually expects in this
genre.
On-screen chemistry is
all-important, and this one
thrives in that respect. Sure,
it is acting, but you just know
something clicked when you
see that obvious spark in the
eyes of the performers.
Keeping the content fluid
and consistent, the cast keeps
things real—no need for fake
big boobs or outrageous sex;
instead, romance is the key
Put a Ring on It Above, Logan Pierce and Gia Paige seal their engagement with more than a kiss. Inset, Ryan McLane and Abella Danger.
as these slender ladies fulfill the guys’ desires.
Even the final pops avoid being internal or in
the mouth—all finishes are lovingly, almost
apologetically, spread out over stomachs or
backsides.
One great example is the interaction between
Adria Rae and Tyler Nixon. The plot revolves
around Nixon’s near slapstick efforts to surprise
Rae with an engagement ring. It gets lost, falls
down the drain, and more—but the moment
when it finally finds a home on her finger, and
everything leading up to it, really shows off their
acting chops. From smiles, expressions, sideways glances and verbal interaction,
this couple really shines.
A touch of humor is added without these two becoming a parody of themselves—
which can be difficult, yet they do it well. Once the ring acceptance finally occurs,
they eagerly cement the new relationship by indulging in very hot “please the
partner” sex where their own needs come second—but are still dutifully attended to
by their conscientious future better half.
Kudos to the director, Jacky St. James, for giving her actors the space to develop
the plot just enough to let their talents be revealed as their prelude to sex runs a
gauntlet of emotions and responses. Additionally, the camerawork and editing are
top notch.
Couples will love this one—as will the everyday viewer.

way, Mandingo. 131 Min.
CATEGORY: INTERRACIAL
AAA 1/2
Ya gotta love the determination of Abella Danger in
this interracial treat. It takes a bit of well-lubricated
effort, but she eventually—tearfully—manages to
repeatedly deep throat the awesomeness that is
Mandingo. Only Danger opens her backdoor, but hey,
these young girls can be quite adventurous and daring.
