DVD Review: “Virtual Sex with Mercedez”

Every porn movie in which the actress stares at the camera and responds to whispered directives is made to appear like the most egregious cockblocker in "Virtual Sex with Mercedez". This movie effectively removes all other stimuli from the room so that the hardcore Mercedez fan sees nothing but the object of his affection (and Scott Nails' tattoos).

Virtual Sex with Mercedez

Studio: Digital Playground
Director: Joone
Cast: Mercedez, Scott Nails

Review by: G. Ponante

Mercedez is floating on my screen like a PlayStation icon, the only color on a field of black. It is eerie. The effect is such, with very languid movements and an expressionless smile, she appears computer generated.

Welcome to her virtual world.

Four choices appear on the screen: Strip, Stories, Foreplay, and Sex. Aside from the Stories, each results in the action taking place against a black background. There is no sound of airplanes or glimpses of Porn Valley architecture behind her. The background and the elimination of ambient sound (particularly any off-camera voices telling her what to do) keeps the former Vivid Girl immediate.

For the Stories section, Mercedez is placed against a green screen upon which is projected images of flame. The camera goes back and forth, music video style. Her voiceover relates tales of three-ways with cops and her first lesbian experience.

Then we get to the Sex. There are several choices available, including dildo, Mercedez on top, etc., represented by icons depicting various positions to either side of the frame.

Whichever way the virtual user wants Mercedez, he must be content with Scott Nails standing in as his proxy. At no time is anything other than Nails' hands, arms, stomach, or cock visible as the viewer's surrogate, so the distractions are few.

I have been Scott Nails before in other Digital Playground titles; he does good work, so I'm not complaining.

There are several other interactive sex titles out there. This is the first one I've seen that seems to place the subject in the emptiness of Time and Space. There are only Mercedez' and Nails' visible tattoos to give us a sense of place. Otherwise, the experience is very much like a home-run lap dance in a club with no bouncers and no Warrant songs intruding through the curtain.
