Mother-Daughter Exchange Club Part 3

Part 3 in this ongoing saga of "daughter swapping" develops the concept in interesting ways, with Magdalene St. Michaels dominating as usual. In recent years cast has varied a great deal, but Maggie is the Godmother of this strange phenomenon.

She's something of an odd woman out: Mom/daughter couples meet to arrange for sexual couplings, but Maggie is tagging along solo. That doesn't violate the rules of this strange club apparently, and in one segment she arrives with a "borrowed" child for the occasion.

It's great to see Lynn LeMay once more getting down, now in her late 40s at the end of her career. She won't take no for an answer with Dia Zerva's reluctant daughter Laci Laine, who's still interested in boys but after a full treatment by Lynn is clearly satisfied with the lesbian lifestyle. Oddest moment in this opening vignette is when Laci is encouraged to stretch Lynn's labia, reminiscent of those '70s specialty numbers by Veri Knotty.

Maggie does several recaps explaining what's happening with the characters and why folks from Parts 1 & 2 haven't returned. Her daughter Marie McCray is away somewhere and her lover of 2 months (Magdalene is equivocal on whether they plan to make it permanent) Hayden Night is also MIA. Instead, Maggie beds down with Stephanie Sage, Lynn's other daughter, and then has an invigorating 3-way with Dia and Prinzzess. In between, there's an interesting scene of Prinzzess as matchmaker hooking up her mom Payton Leigh with Stephanie in more traditional older/younger fashion.

Dia's sudden revelation that she's had sex with her step-daughter Hayden (no surprise to us since we watched them have at it back in Part 1) doesn't faze Maggie in the slightest. Though she's in love with Hayden, she quickly takes the party line that they're not blood related after all, a cop-out that really detracts from psychology underpinning these XXX soap operas. She's not even jealous.

The who did what to whom nature of these swaps is more interesting to me than if the anonymous Girlfriends Films director had merely rounded up a dozen or so denizens of Thornhill and just staged a freewheeling orgy. Clear takeaway from Part 3, and the series in general, is an unsubtle proselytizing for openness and sexual experimentation, sort of a broadside against monogamy, whether it be of the traditional kind or a lesbian "couple forever". Despite her repeated claims of true love with Hayden, Maggie continues playing the field with the best of them.
