Shiny Happy People Having Sex: Pink Visual’s “Orgy Sex Parties 4”

When Pink Visual's "Orgy Sex Parties" arrived in a flood of similar looking candy-colored DVD cases today at Fleshbot South, we were immediately struck by its curiously tender cover photo. But then this is an orgy movie, not a gangbang movie, and we all know that orgies are supposed to be tender. Or at least friendly!

For in "Orgy Sex Parties 4", we are told right there on the cover, "group sex has never been friendlier." And for once, the box cover is right.

Let us look closely at the first scene, which is entitled "Wet Wedding Willies" for reasons that are not made clear until its last seconds. Its general mood is not so much orgiastic as it is what we imagine the best key parties of our parents' generation were like. (Or maybe what some people whose apartment complexes are being turned into nudist housing are afraid things would be like).

The decor includes what appears to be an actual shag carpet. There are about as many women involved as men. Male bodies and parts often seem prioritized, as a gender studies grad student might say, more than they are in many heterosexualist group sex videos. We eventually find out the scene is a bachelor party orgy for this guy, and we would not be surprised to find we have also been watching his fiancé get plowed elsewhere in the room.

In fact, everything about "Orgy Sex Parties" has a pleasingly egalitarian air, from the racial diversity of the (completely uncredited) cast to their decent of not pornstar spectacular bodies and their habit of lounging about or walking around the set looking a bit lost when they're not fucking or sucking on something but happy enough to be there nonetheless.

And the smiles! People smile a lot in this movie, even if some of them are just smiling with their eyes.

People even smile in this movie during things like facials. In our opinion, porn needs more people smiling during facials.

This blonde woman in particular seems to smile a lot. And why shouldn't she?

She soon makes her way over to a friend. Their sexual bonhomie, no doubt forged by many shared swingers parties together over the years, is infectious. Saying "Let me watch you suck his cock!" to your girlfriend is the lady equivalent of two dudes giving each other high fives over the supine back of the babe they're double-teaming.

We assume she is smiling in these next two shots, though we can't be sure.

Fully dressed people wander in and out of various groups, commenting favorably upon what they're seeing, occasionally directing it, and generally communicating their support. LIke we said: bonhomie! (Also, the woman on lube duty in the right background is killing us with that dress.)

Some may find the cuts too frequent and abrupt for prolonged masturbatory enjoyment (few shots last more than ten seconds, if that). But that is actually one of the scene's biggest strengths. Frequently, the best parts of this movie are of such brief duration that one is apt to miss them while blinking or reaching for the ashtray. For example, there are so many great things going in these fifteen seconds that we don't even know where to begin.

Played in slow motion, it's almost a Fellini film! And this is a similarly characteristic moment. We totally want that gal to slap our ass and flip her hair at our next orgy sex party!

All that, and we still haven't gotten past the first scene yet. Clicking through the remaining four on the disc, we see what appears to be more conventional bachelor party gangbang and drunk spring break-like fare. One party, however, begins with its guests wearing masks and body paint at a pool party in someone's ranch house, offering the tantalizing promise that we are about to watch a reinvisioning of that scene in "Eyes Wide Shut" set in a suburb of Panama City.


Maybe one day we will find out what circumstances bought these two to getting fucked in tandem, and why one if them is keeping her sunglasses on. Or whether this couple made it back to the corral in time to watch Leno that evening.

Fast forwarding through all of "Orgy Sex Parties 4" would be a crime, though. It is that rich, and makes us remember that sex can be fun, for which we are grateful.
