Porn is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
Scarlett Hampton and Robby Echo dazzle in a surprisingly sophisticated all-sex performance for NubileFilms.
Part of the Ex-Wants-Sex series, "Down For The Ride" follows a familiar pattern. Scarlett Hampton and Echo are exes. She wants to borrow Echo's car, but he needs it instead. That's when Hampton comes up with a compromise--what if they both stay in? "Maybe you should stay and fuck me," she says.
Scarlett Hampton Develops Plot Through Sex
Here's where it gets interesting. On the surface, this is a throwaway porno plot to set up a sex scene. But it's actually exposition for the real story that is told through an explicit sexual performance. It almost calls Penny Pax's performance in "The Submission of Emma Marx" to mind.
"Down For the Ride" is a getting-back-together film. It opens with tension, first over the car, and then with intentionally awkward sex. Things take a turn after the opening blowjob when Scarlett Hampton says "I miss riding you," hinting at deeper desires.
In cowgirl, Hampton starts to give us smiles that sell the idea of renewed chemistry. But it's Echo's pussy-eating that truly climaxes Act II of the play. He drops to his knees and gives Hampton these deep and loving kisses. You can feel his hunger as he breathes heavily, and almost growls.
After that moment, everything changes. Their sex hits differently. It's romantic and longing, with sustained eye contact between the couple. Even the pillow talk feels different, with Echo sweetly saying "That's my girl," as he gazes into Scarlett Hampton's eyes. Even the cum-play at the end speaks to a rekindled relationship.
Patrick's Take
"Down For The Ride," is one of those porn scenes you don't see coming. It hits you out of left field and leaves you full of surprise--a beautiful exercise in sexual storytelling.
My only issue is the callback to the car argument at the end, which effectively retcons much of the meaning and plot developed through the sex itself.
