Extras:
Slideshow: Pictures of the models
posing and having sex, but it only includes the first 3 scenes, which
I found to be a bit odd. The pictures are not high resolution and
seem to be pixelated on my computer monitor. Maybe I need to actually
start checking these out on a TV and DVD player because they keep
looking like crap on my monitor. Some of the pictures are pretty hot,
but there are also some very unflattering pictures as well, which I
was surprised to see. The slideshow is about 10 minutes long and
plays the same song over and over and over again until your ears
bleed ... or until you hit mute.
Trailers: These include Frisk Me and
MacBeth. Both trailers show more sex than the online trailers that I
have scene do so that is a plus and can help you to decide a little
better on whether or not you want to check these two films out. For
the record, I've seen both and while I recommend Frisk Me, I cannot
say the same for MacBeth.
Safer Sex: Condoms and gloves used.
Audio/Video Quality:
As I've found with all the Madison
Young films I've seen, these both aren't great. The moaning is loud
and the dirty talking is almost undecipherable. I'd really like to
see this done better because I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of
really hot dirty talk because I don't want to turn the volume up and
go deaf with all the screaming. The lighting is still a bit too dark
and shadowy, but seems to be better than some of her other films.
Overview:
This flick is part porno, part
documentary. I've seen a few of these done before and they often end
up leaving me well informed of a couple's dynamic, but horribly bored
and teased. This is because a lot of the time they intersperse sex
scenes while the couple is interviewed, but we never actually see an
entire sex scene by itself. That's fine if you want to watch people
talk a whole bunch and see some sex, but if your ultimate goal is to
be able to wank to this movie you want sex you can keep coming back
to. You don't need to watch the interviews more than just once or
twice. Luckily, Fluid shows entire scenes full of chemistry filled
sex.
Each star: Dylan Ryan, Aiden Starr,
Tina Horn, and Amber Keen are interviewed on a couch about how they
define their sexuality (queer, bisexual, or pansexual), their gender
identity, and what they love about queer porn as a genre and sex work
in general. They are all very intelligent well spoken women who have
a lust for life and all genders. The one disappointment is that they
spend a lot of time talking about trans people and those who exhibit
different genders other than the usual two we think about, but all of
the people in the movie were cis-gendered.
During the interview we get snippets of
sex scenes to tantalize us and then after the interview we see the
entire sex scene in all its glory.
Scene 1: Dylan Ryan and Maestro
In Dylan's interview we learn that she
identifies as queer and as a sex worker. She is working on reclaiming
the word "ho." She is naturally submissive, but it can depend on
the partner that she is with. She loves gender play, but identifies
as femme herself. She defines cis-gendered for those in the audience
who are not in the know and she talks about her primary partner a bit
who is a transman. She doesn't mention it, but there are films where
she is featured with her boyfriend, Trucker Crash. I haven't seen
these myself, but I've heard they are some of the hottest scenes in
existence. I look forward to searching them out.
After the interview we see Dylan and
Maestro fucking on a roof. I've seen Maestro a few times before and
he's always played the dominant role; ordering his co-stars around.
In this scene though he is almost sweet. There isn't really any dirty
talk, just straight up sucking and fucking. The scene consists of
deep passionate kissing, blowjobs and pussy eating, and some
world-class fucking. Dylan can barely hold onto the railing of the
roof with all of her convulsing from the intense pounding. She cums
pretty hard and Maestro does not ... yet.
Scene 2: Aiden Starr, Dylan Ryan, and
Maestro
In Aiden's interview we learn that she
identifies as a bisexual humanist (as opposed to feminist) woman.
Even though she most closely identifies with these labels, she
prefers to avoid labels completely. Aiden is attracted to a person's
pheremones more than anything else. She has to get close enough to
smell them in order to know if she wants to fuck them. But when she
does decide to jump into bed with someone, she likes to torture them.
She is a sadist who enjoys power play, fear, and messing with
people's heads.
Aiden's scene takes off where Dylan and
Maestro's scene ends. Dylan and Maestro are kissing on the roof and
Aiden steals Dylan away. The height difference between the two of
them is humorous and they play into that. They start kissing while
Aiden is wearing Dylan's high heels which are obviously too large for
her. Even with the heels on, Aiden barely comes up to Dylan's
shoulder. Dylan then picks the tiny girl up and carries her over to a
lounge chair to ravage her. They both eat each other's pussies and
there's lots of moaning and nipple pinching and some giggling even.
The contrasted bodies working together makes for a hot scene. Dylan's
tall lean body working on Aiden's short, curvy one and vice versa.
Maestro then shows up again to have his
cock sucked by Dylan who is also being fisted by Aiden while
luxuriously sprawled out on the lounge chair. Dylan is moaning and
gasping and making these kind of trilling noises until she finally
ejaculates all over the place. Then Dylan and Aiden share in the
responsibility of getting Maestro off who then cums all over Dylan's
tits.
Scene 3: Tina Horn, Billie Sweet, and
Mickey Mod
In Tina's interview we learn that she
identifies as queer and tends to prefer labels that are inclusive and
changing, ones that allow her to be fluid in how she lives and who
she is attracted to. She talks about all the wonderful things that
being a sex worker has done for her and her relationships. She also
talks about the power of the word slut and when she likes it used and
when it is inappropriate.
Tina's scene starts in a gorgeous
cherry wood cabinet, granite counter, stainless steel appliance
kitchen. Oh sorry, I have a thing for kitchens so this scene totally
did it for me because it was super hot sex with one of my favorite
porn stars (Tina Horn) in a kitchen that I would want to fuck in.
Anyhoo ... Tina who gets so into
fucking and Billie Sweet who is just ridiculously adorable are all up
on each other. Billie takes off her dress to reveal that she is
wearing a cock, which Tina then sucks. And then Billie fucks Tina on
top of the breakfast bar. There is some uncomfortable stumbling
around and giggling, which I feel just adds to the scene. It makes it
more real and more fun. After a bit of fucking doggy style, Mickey
Mod hops up onto the breakfast bar and makes a comment that shows off
the fact that all three are wearing nerdy glasses.
Tina is super excited that Mickey
decided to show up to the party and they kiss a whole bunch followed
by Mickey donning a black glove and playing with Tina's pussy. Then
there's the requisite blowjob and then the fucking. Oh but Mickey
won't give it to Tina unless she begs for it and beg she does. Tina
orders Billie to fuck herself with her own cock while Mickey fucks
Tina.
At this point we have another moment of
silliness that probably would've ended up on the cutting room floor
in a mainstream porn. Mickey is fucking Tina while standing on a step
stool so he can reach her up on the breakfast bar and as you can
probably imagine, the stool starts to slide and he slides with it. No
one ends up injured, but it is humorous and soon the action continues
when Mickey climbs up on the breakfast bar.
Big complaint here: Behind Billie's
back we see a Lelo Gigi and I assume this is kind of like
foreshadowing. I mean when you see a sex toy in porn it is almost
always used in that scene. It wasn't used! What a gyp! But really
that was my only complaint about the scene.
After some time fucking the three all
sit together on the breakfast bar and masturbate. Billie cums first
and it is loud and sexy as hell. You can feel and see the effect of
her orgasm on the other two as they really get into the stroking.
Mickey is about to cum and Tina tells him to cum on her glasses. She
lays down in front of him on the breakfast bar and moans and giggles
as his cum gushes out onto glasses.
Scene 4: Amber Keene, Lilla Kat, and
LeRock
In Amber's interview we learn that she
identifies as a polyamorous pansexual who never felt the need to be
monogamous and is completely comfortable in her sexuality. She talks
a bit about growing up and coming out to her mom as well.
This scene is what I like to refer to
as a cum-fest. There are so many orgasms you just can't even keep
track! Yay for multiple orgasms. Although, I can say that LeRock
doesn't cum once, but the ladies make up for it in quality and
quantity.
Amber's scene starts with her and Lilla
Kat making out on a couch. Their limbs are all entwined around each
other, bodies pressing up against one another, and breathing heavily.
Clothes start coming off and Amber eats Lilla's pussy. Lilla cums
pretty quickly and loudly.
This is when LeRock shows up to join
in on the fun. And here is when the orgasm fest just starts getting
crazy. There's a blowjob, fingering, pussy eating, masturbation, and
fucking with Lelo Gigi which is now apparently making an appearance
in a completely different scene in a completely different room.
Cumfest! But like I said, dude does not cum. And then there is
kissing all around.
Scene 5: Madison Young
Now I don't want to get your hopes up
here so I'll just tell you right away that there is no sex in this
scene. Its just an interview with Madison Young interspersed with
pictures of her having sex in other movies. But no actual real live
sex going on.
In the interview we learn that Madison
identifies with a lot of labels. She identifies as queer,
polyamorous, rope slut, slut, masochist, sensation slut, whore,
spaniel, feminist, feminist porn star, and activist. That's a lot of
labels! So we have Aiden who wants nothing to do with them and
Madison who can't get enough.
I bet you saw spaniel in there and were
like "WTF?" Yes, spaniel like the dog. She is into puppy play.
Google it if you don't know what it is. The first time I heard her
say she identified as a spaniel I have to admit that I chuckled a
bit, but that's because I thought it was just the perfect dog for her
to pick. It seems to suit her.
Madison talks a bit about her queer
identity and how it is all encompassing and political. She goes a bit
into the different identities she's had growing up and experiencing
life and sexuality. She defines the word slut as she sees it and
talks about her different levels of attraction to different genders
and sexes. And I think the most interesting and quite possibly funny
things she brings up is that she named herself after her family's
landscaping business. I have to wonder what her family thinks of
that.
Final Thoughts: I can really see why this film was nominated for a Feminist Porn Award. The women are expressing their own sexuality on their terms through words and actions. This film is informative and also super hot. I really like to know my porn stars because I feel like I can get in their heads more when they're fucking. I know what they want and I know what makes them cum. What could possibly be hotter? And sure, you're probably not going to watch the interviews more than a couple of times max (unless you're writing your thesis on feminist or queer porn), but the sex is so hot that it will keep you coming back for more. And they were smart enough to separate the interviews from the sex in the scene selections so you don't have to fast forward through all the talking to get to the fucking.
Speaking of fucking, what sets this movie apart from a lot of others is that the women are very obviously enjoying themselves. Hell they set up their own scenes so they should be enjoying them! There is also a lot more passionate kissing in this porn that I've seen in most. You can tell the actors are really into it. And yeah, the sound and lighting isn't great, but I'm starting to expect that from independent porn studios. The extras are total crap, but the film stands by itself really well so for that reason I highly recommend it.
