Audio/Video Quality: The picture was presented in 1.33:1 ratio full frame color. It had a lot of grain and video noise that made the picture look below average. The audio was presented in stereo English but my equipment detected very little separation. The vocals were a touch hollow and the music needed to be lowered and cleaned up but otherwise the sound was okay.

Body of Review: Virtual sex movies have been with us for a while now. Based in part on the cyber-punk phenomenon that started years ago, such movies are often dark and detail the problems people involved with computer-simulated realities have. That said, Vivid has finally released a movie made years ago, Virtual Love which focuses on a woman, played by Wendy, that becomes addicted to virtual sex at a local business. In order to keep paying for the service she must become what amounts to a porno star and that's the entire plot you're going to find here. As a fan of Ms. Divine, I'm glad that the movie was released, even if the picture wasn't great, since she seems to be making far fewer movies these days. Here's a breakdown of the scene by cast, keeping in mind that condoms were used:

Scene One: Wendy, sporting blonde hair and a hot looking fishnet outfit, enjoyed the company of Dayton, another popular blonde, in bed. The sex was playful and included oral with toys.

Scene Two: Chennin, another blonde, Eric and Nick had a scene around a kitchen table after playing cards. It was oral and straight only and seemed really short to me (the scene, not their dicks). Both of the guys ended the scene by jerking onto her chest and face (mostly chest though).

Scene Three: Kira, on the set of a porno, took on both Michael and Ian on a couch. The sex included mostly oral, a little straight, and a touch (very, very little) anal before the pop shots. Not a terrible scene but it did lack the heat I need from a scene.

Scene Four: Kira, after teasing Devin a bit, had a scene with him in an office. They did each other orally and then had a quick screw. Again, not exactly blazing hot but fans will enjoy it.

Scene Five: Wendy, dressed up as a dominatrix, had a scene on the couch with Cheyne, while Kira watched (but didn't participate). After ordering him around a bit, the two had oral and straight sex before the pop shot. I liked the scene but wish there had been more than just play domination to spice it up a bit.

Summary: Although Kira was the advertised lead (she is one of Vivid's contract performers), Wendy was the center point of the show here. That, for me, is a good thing since I think she's a cutie. Her scenes were warm and the others okay which made this worth a rating of Rent It for me. As Vivid improves the quality of their technical stuff, like picture and sound, I'm sure higher ratings will follow but that takes time. Some of their older movies, this one was shot over three years ago, will not be able to benefit from the recent advances the company has been making but in time, we'll all benefit from them.
