Overview:
James Avalon’s Internal Love Volume 4 is a visual smorgasbord for creampie lovers and pussy fetishists alike. It features four story-centric scenes that ramp up to boy-girl sex and a creampie finish. Two of the scenes are related, telling a comprehensive story, while the others are stand-alone tales.
Special features are sparse. EroticaX only offers a gallery and cumshot recap as DVD extras.
Scene 1:
Lesbian lovers Alexa Grace and Ella Hughes are lying in bed discussing the idea of having children. Artificial insemination is out of the question and they don’t necessarily want to adopt. Hughes has been with guys before, so she hatches a plan. Why not arrange to sleep with guys in the hopes of getting pregnant?
The scene opens at the end of a date with Seth Gamble. James Avalon leaves ample room for dialogue and a healthy amount of making out to build up to the inevitable sex-scene. It’s a great chance for Ella Hughes to demonstrate her mainstream-worthy acting chops while plausibly segwaying into pornographic sex.
All the action takes place on an elegant couch in an equally lavish home. Avalon’s soft focus and narrow depth-of-field creates a highly cinematic scene with a blurry background contrasting our heroes’ increasingly aroused bodies.
Hughes and Gamble’s sex is romantic and natural. It develops into missionary from oral and each position change feels like real sex. We’re not overwhelmed by pornstar gynmastics or concocted porno-poses (hello reverse cowgirl). Instead, the focus is very much on Ella’s personal pleasure.
Seth keeps a good read on her body and varies the pace to keep her at the height of arousal. Once her chest exhibits that pre-orgasmic glow, he does whatever it takes to keep her right on the edge. And he’s all hugs, cuddles and kisses throughout.
For the creampie, Ella gets on top and fucks Seth into submission. She looks amazing and it’s clearly a case of Ms. Hughes taking charge to get what’s hers. When Seth cums, it’s hot. The camera zeros in on her ass, and you can see that white gold overflowing down the sides of his still throbbing cock.
Scene 2:
Actors at heart, Ivy Wolfe and Charles Dera share natural and witty dialogue in this romantic tale of honeymooners. The story is based around two newlyweds discussing having a baby and then, well, making the effort.
There’s a natural chemistry between Dera and Wolfe. Lines flow naturally with a degree of playfulness, and the actors emote with a subtlety that makes you believe every moment.
What makes this porno great is it’s sweetness and consensual nature. Ivy serves Dera breakfast and the duo discuss what commitment means. She doesn’t force the idea of children onto Charles at all. After some convincing, he’s down with it.
Their chemistry extends into the bedroom too. Wolfe dominates the scene with that sexual hunger and excitement that earned her five nominations at this year’s AVN Awards. She’s always in motion and manages to make every frame look like a work of art.
It’s a lovely scene too. Avalon has chosen a modern home with white walls, grey accents and white sheets. Color has been undersaturated to give it this acid-washed and dreamlike aesthetic. That, paired with extraordinary attention to detail makes for a visual playground from start to finish.
Position changes are frequent and natural with Dera twirling Ms. Wolfe about with ease. Avalon’s lens emphasizes oral with exhilarating close ups of Wolfe’s cock-worship. Don’t count out Dera’s oral skills either. It’s great.
Charle’s creampie is impressive. He fucks Wolfe hard with one finger in her bum as Avalon’s camera zeros in on Wolfe’s flexing labia. Usually, these scenes end with a shallow cumshot, but Dera unloads deep inside of Ivy.
Scene 3:
Chad White plays a shy but enthusiastic piano instructor to a reluctant Ashley Lane. She throws a little tantrum but he presses on encouraging the brunette to try a sonata by Beethoven. But she wants to play something else. He eventually gives in to her sexual advances after some heavy overacting.
The first thing you’ll notice is Lane’s revealing choice in attire. No, she’s not wearing anything particularly provocative, just a simple summer-dress with an exposed back. However, she wears it braless and several sizes too loose allowing for a revealing look at her breasts with her nipples peeking out from cover. Sure, that may be the way she dresses all the time, but it seems to reveal her real motivations for today’s lesson.
It’s a fun sex scene that follows a musical trend I’ve seen across multiple studios lately. White and Lane fuck on the piano bench, occasionally hitting random notes amid their carnal composition. Not only does it create an intriguing backdrop, it also serves to fetishize the massive grand piano.
Perhaps a challenging shoot, Avalon’s team struggles with makeup and lighting. Some shots are perfectly balanced and framed with dramatic shadows. Others see Lane completely washed out.
But Ashley Lane manages an active and emotive performance. She recklessly dives into oral and refuses to play it submissively, always fucking Chad White back twice as hard as he can give it to her.
The creampie is not a choice for poor Chad. She mounts him with her sexual jiu-jitsu and pounds him into submission until great globs of cum drip down her pierced clit.
Scene 4:
The film comes right back to the beginning with Alexa Grace courting Danny Mountain in her bid to have a baby with Ella Hughes. She wasn’t thrilled with the idea of sex with a man from the intro, and that awkwardness carries over into her arranged “date” with Danny.
In a bid to build chemistry, she and Mountain go out for dinner with all the typical weirdness of a first date compounded by her uneasiness about being with a man. She cuts through the bullshit and opens up about her plan to use him and reveals that she’s never had penetrative sex.
Grace delivers her lines with every bit of discomfort that behooves a through-and-through lesbian trying to bed a man. She gets discouraged and casts her eyes away with her voice trailing off. But Mountain is flattered, so she suggests they head over to his place.
Enter another beautifully filmed sex scene. The camera lingers without care as awkward kisses give way to increasing levels of excitement for both. It’s all about foreplay with a lengthy makeout session and an erotically slow undressing. Mountain lets her dictate the pace, and when she’s ready, Alexa begins stroking and squeezing his cock, anxiously asking for direction.
It’s the perfect scene for Alexa Grace, a porn performer who first entered the industry with very little porn experience. In fact, she was so nervous prior to her debut scene that Grace reached out to local talent and practiced porn-sex ahead of time. Now an accomplished actress and adult performer, Alexa gracefully channels those freshman fears into a believable performance.
From a lusty point of view, the penetrative sex feels a little flat. There isn’t a tremendous amount of chemistry or passion between the two, at least until Grace starts to enter pre-orgasm territory. While that may bore some, it sits quite nicely with the plot and feels authentic to the characters. You can imagine what sort of mixed feelings are going through both of their minds.
It ends with a fantastically framed shot of Mountain towering over the petite blonde with her begging for him to cum in her. After an intense banging, he unloads in her tight hole. The camera pans down and we actually hear a gentle queef as thick cream drips down her bum.
But there’s more to it than that. In post-coital pillow-talk, Alexa reveals that she really liked it and is eager to go at it again. Meanwhile, Grace’s wife Ella Hughes sits anxiously by the phone, calling and worrying about Alexa. There’s a panicked look on Hughe’s face as the scene fades to black with a powerful psychological punch.
Final Thoughts:
Internal Love Volume 4 offers a mixed bag that will please the casual fan, but may leave serious porn collectors wanting.
The film wants to be a compilation and a feature all at once. Scenes one and four are two parts of an ongoing and well-written story. It’s a welcome change of pace from the more random and plotless collections that have overwhelmed DVD sales in recent years. But the middle two scenes have nothing to do with the bookends. It’s very confusing.
Avalon’s focus on dialogue begs the question: can they act? Most of the time it’s a resounding yes, but there are a few painfully forced moments. In general though, the scenes flow nicely and transition into believable sex scenarios.
The film excels at artsy production, but as a whole it falls short in structure. It’s typical fare for an EroticaX production, but stands out well against most competitors. Recommended.
