Women Seeking Women 197

Now in its 197th volume after a couple of decades of popularity, Girlfriends Films' "Women Seeking Women" series has undergone a disappointing makeover. This volume drops the acting out romantic/dramatic stories concept, and basically goes the way of all-sex content.

All four vignettes are structured identically: a pair of attractive new women recite dialogue (awkwardly in some cases) sitting side by side on a couch, recounting briefly how they first met and then became a romantic couple. It's a mutual admiration session each time, addressed to some invisible interviewer. Then they go to a bedroom and make love. That's it.

Two of the couples met at musical events, in one case getting hauled to jail by police for an unspecified disturbance, only to be let go early the next morning. Another couple met at a book shop, where they discovered their common interests. The final pair reminisce while sitting in a kitchen about how they first met at a bar, and fell deeply in love as they got to know each other.. There is zero drama or conflict presented here, and the lovey-dovey talk seems artificial and recited. Absence of seduction or any presentation of a little story of a woman seeking the companionship of another woman betrays the premise of this series.

As to the sexual content, the cast presents a group of fresh talent, giving it an almost "real-life" couples aspect unless one is an early fan of the actresses involved (I had not seen seven of the eight actresses on screen before - only familiar player is redhead Scarlett Mae, who I've watched a dozen times).

The sex is mechanical and repetitive, with the best scene (for me) due to casting two ultra-busty performers Tiffani Madison (only MILF in the cast) and Gigi Sweets, who are especially devoted to cunnilingus (or were so instructed toward that emphasis by director B. Skow). The other girls are heavy into tattoos and seem mainly chosen from the Waif School of porn central casting.
