Trouble in Paradise

Drawn from Bree Mills' highly personal "We Like Girls" series, this pair of lengthy vignettes represent opposite poles of auteur Mills' approach to the all-sex genre.

Casey Kisses and Kylie Le Beau's real-life love affair as a solid couple is Mills' first option, trying to capture lightning in a bottle by shooting them having sex just for her and her legion of viewers. But watching the TS star Casey and her not yet successful pal in action I was struck how mechical is the sexual result. Having had sex with each other hundreds of times before, clearly the duo was going through the motions, with a paycheck rather than eroticism on their minds. All sex workers whose job is to perform on camera (with all the "hitting your mark" and "assume the position" requirements of the job) are faking the passion -that's part of the game. Even Meryl Streep is literally role-playing and totally professional when she delivers an Oscar-worthy performance on cue.

The other vignette starring Aiden Ashley and Charlotte Sins is from the opposite end of the spectrum: Sins has a crush on Ashley from afar but they have never done a scene together before -Bree just loves to present that sort of match. Both of them moan and groan convincingly with what plays like an uncountable number of orgasms, but how real is all this, compared to say Pro Wrestling? Of necessity it's choreographed and exaggerated for the camera.
