Lesbian PsychoDramas 20: Messed Up! -Episode One

This first segment of a miniseries within Girlfriends' "PsychoDramas" series strains to be novel and kinky, undermining the label's once proud "Most realistic lesbian sex" promise for its content. Result is schizophrenic, nutty, ridiculous "shock" material (generally anti-erotic) during the scene set-ups followed by the usual highly professional XXX footage.

Complicated story introduces lesbian couple Chanel Preston (overacting and shouting as if playing to an audience way back in the cheap seats) and Mercedes Carrera, with a baby Emily (just a blanket prop) being breast-fed. Among the silly material to titillate a porn audience is Chanel with a breast-pump, later serving her milk to unknowing breakfast guests on their cereal.

Chanel's teen daughter Jackie Marie hangs out with friend Remy LaCroix, and Preston is afraid of lesbian tendencies (first of many script contradictions, given that Chanel is planning to marry Carrera) for her kid, so she outfits Jackie with a chastity belt meant to prevent masturbation or Sapphic sex. That leads to bedwetting, and is later augmented by a plastic penis contraption inserted beneath the belt.

Goofiness continues as the couple brings a young girl under their roof, played by Shyla Ryder whose identity stumped me until I fortuitously was watching "Mother/Daughter Exchange Club 43" in which she co-stars. Ryder's grandparents are also uncredited, with grandad looking like company topper Dan O'Connell.

Ryder moves in with her former babysitter Vanessa Veracruz, and while Shyla is soon written out of the story, VV takes center stage, having sex with Mercedes and delivering her trademark squirting. Prinzzess has a major role, bedding down with Jackie (before the chastity belt is applied) and later in a threesome with Remy and Jackie while the older characters are away at a spa.

Title "Messed Up!" is accurate, more about the stupidity of the script than the goofy behavior of the characters. I take it as a symptom of porn's decline from eroticism to mere shock value aimed at a jaded audience.
