Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in the industry standard of 1.33:1 ratio full frame color, as most porn is shot these days. The picture was presented in an artistic manner that really didn't work for me, using too many colored lights and soft focus shots in an apparent effort to make the show erotically appealing to women. I like to see the action so such camera and lighting tricks really hurt my enjoyment of what's going on and all the people I've asked about this kind of thing have told me they agree with my assessment. The audio was presented in the usual stereo English with little separation between the channels and the balance of the vocals was somewhat spotty as well. It wasn't terrible but it did remind me of some of English's weaker work at Vivid. The DVD transfer was okay and no compression artifacts were observed when I watched the show.

Body of Review: Adam & Eve has been making porn and providing adult products for our personal enjoyment for decades. The company tends to focus on porn that is designed for couples and those new to the wonders of porn, where people have sex on camera for money. Over the years, I've seen a lot of porn from them that actually worked for me, even though I generally like the features the company used to focus on a few years back. Their latest release, Tell Me What You Want 1, is a set of six vignettes where the women describes her fantasy, masturbates a bit, and then is joined by a partner for some casual sex. Each scene had some chemistry as the couples used were often couples in real life but the technical issues weakened the otherwise decent scenes. Here's a breakdown of the scenes by cast, noting that condoms were used:

Scene One: Nicole, the hot blonde on the DVD cover, known worldwide for her great sexual performances, took on her real life husband, Voodoo, and Julian. The scene was primarily her giving them aggressive blowjobs but she then allowed them a bit of vaginal and anal penetration. It wasn't her best scene but even her worst scene is better than average. Yum!

Scene Two: Aria, a lean gal with a good attitude towards sexual fulfillment, took on Chris in a scene where he wore a military uniform (BDU's). She showed her patriotic streak and the two gave each other a lot of oral pleasure before he started pumping his member in and out of her. She appeared to squirt on his cock as he boned her and the two had a lot of fun as she rode him to another orgasm afterwards. It finished up with some anal and a facial. Whew!

Scene Three: Jessica, the lean redhead with a sultry nature, started off her scene by masturbating on a couch. Her real life husband, Evan, joined her and sucked her toes for awhile before working his way up to her crotch. She reciprocated and then took him inside her until he popped off on her abdomen. This was not the best scene I've seen either of them in and I'm looking forward to her work for Wicked Pictures (she's their newest contract star).

Scene Four: Lezley, yet another brunette sexpot, took care of Randy by dominating him a bit and using her dirty talk to get him worked up. He performed a lot of oral on her, rimming her to a near orgasm, and then she rode him for awhile before sucking and stroking him off to a pop shot in her face. There was some real chemistry and energy here. Yum!

Scene Five: Dolorian, in a scene taking place in a barn setting, took on the muscular Evan as though her life depended on it. There was a lot of oral and a fair amount of vaginal screwing with her dirty talk nearly as fulfilling as Lezley's was earlier in the show. If not for the weak technical aspects of this scene, it would've been very solid. In the end, he dropped a load of goo on her face.

Scene Six: Wendy, a personal favorite of mine for quite some time, took care of her real life husband Eric in a scene that centered around a domination theme. In short, she was in charge of him. I liked the fetish clothing and her aggressive style of controlling him was a turn on but the technical matters, primarily the lighting, impaired the scene too much to seriously enjoy more than a few times.

Bonus Scene: Naked Hollywood 20: Nina, Jewel, and Amber had a lesbian scene that focus on submission/domination. Most of the role-playing was lightly done and the sex focused on oral pleasure although a toy was used for the last few minutes. It was fun to watch.

Summary: I think this one would've been better, for me at least, if the lighting had been more straightforward and the direction more clear. I'm giving the DVD a rating of Rent It even though I'm a fan of the cast in almost every case, because the technical issues. Rent it before you buy unless you get a great deal since the picture quality was not as good as I expect from Adam & Eve.
