Sex with Friends 2

Britain's JoyBear Pictures amply demonstrates its allegiance to what might be called "positive" porn -showing talent cheerfully and enjoyably having sex without any of the sleazy aspects (e.g., misogyny) which most pornographers assume is necessary to satisfying an audience's baser instincts. Upbeat is too mild a word to express the exuberance of the action shown here.

Premise is simple: tattooed heroine Esluna Love imagines for us what might happen if she and her friends (who live under one roof) give way to acting on impulse and have sex with each other regardless of who's their current partner. For the five sex vignettes, each one is introduced with imaginary footage geared to the show's tagline: "What if...?", presenting difffering sexual options and alignments that Esluna speculates might occur, with her voice-over narration dominating.

It's not directly comedic, but all played with a light touch. The cast is made up of unknowns, with Esluna my choice as leading lady if a porn-parody of "Licorice Pizza" is made -she's a dead ringer for star Alana Haim of that hit. A new face, named Blue Honey, is an impressive blonde boasting very large, all-natural breasts, while Romeo is a good-looking new black stud on the scene. JoyBear gets close to an all-sex program here, but the content fortunately does not descend into the lucrative but meritricious gonzo mode.
