In the past Playgirl DVD has always offered us tasteful, exciting and wholly erotic movies, so I was looking forward to reviewing this new title from the studio. And as expected, I was not disappointed.
From the opening scene set in a painting studio to the last bonus feature, Carnal Desires showcases women’s sexuality as powerful, fun and definitely 100% charged and ready to go. I love that these vignettes are all really sexy and intimate, but definitely not boring. They are still just as hardcore as any other XXX porn, but they make sure to maintain a level of class and sensuality that many other movies lack.
I’ll admit that sometimes it’s a little cheesy for me. Scene two’s woman penning romantically poetic lyrics was over the top in my opinion, but that part only lasted a few minutes before she was swept off her feet (and onto her back) by a handsome stranger. While they can be eye roll inducing, I do actually really like the two minutes of quick story set up at the beginning of each scene. Unlike super plot-driven porn, there’s not a ton of bad dialogue to sift through and you don’t have to wait for the action to heat up – two major pluses in my book. So much so that I can even excuse the easy listening music in the background.
My favorite scene is sixth because I love Dana DeArmond. The actual premise of the scene is kind of weird and slightly creepy in an “I’m a grown man playing with cars and I ditch my wife so I can instead dream about fucking her” type of way. But still, the dream is hot and DeArmond is wonderful and sexy as usual, especially when she’s taking a curvy glass toy like a champ. It’s a fun and super hot ending to a good movie. Thanks for coming through yet again, Playgirl DVD!

Sounds like another goodie from porn star turned director Skye Blue.
Isn’t it interesting that one of the best directors of straight couple porn currently working is a self-identified lesbian?
When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. Kind of like Chi Chi Larue… doesn’t matter what genre he shoots, it’s great.
