But it turns out people like Sue have mostly given up on the idea of a sexually explicit film that isn't silly, offensive or boring (and mostly all three!) Luckily we found our way to people/places like Violet Blue, Good For Her, Come As You Are, and Blowfish that we were able to get a toe-hold, and from there break into the wider world of the sex-positive market. Even still, there are more people that haven't heard of what we do than there are people who have. For example, we've been trying for years to get Libida to pick up our films, but they are forever "under review by our sexologists", which is another way of saying "don't call us, we'll call you." Making films is hard. Getting them seen is harder!

They can't be serious! It's entertaining, sure, and it's interesting to see what Porn producers do when they actually have a budget, but I wouldn't exactly call that *sexy,* or couple-friendly. And lol to the nothing 'fake'! Everything from the boobs to the acting was horribly fake, pretty much laughably so. I'd rent it and sit around with some friends and some martinis and make fun of it all night (and have, actually, and a rollicking good time was had by all), but I'd hardly say it got near pushing any of my buttons. Sue should do her research and realize that there's a hell of a lot of better couples' porn out there! PIRATES? They can’t be serious!
