Lip Service is an adult film (aka pornography) that contains an all-female cast. Yes, that means some lesbian action. Sound kinky and taboo? I bet it does. But don't go assuming anything just yet. This film is definitely tame and I'd actually label it "vanilla". And the script and directing style of this film also makes it more appealing to a female audience rather than women-on-women porn aimed at drooling men. And from this summary alone, I'm sure you've decided if this porn is for you or not. But let me break it down for you anyway.

This film opens with a montage sequence that credits all of the porn stars and introduces the plot line. It's a story of older women (35 years old and up is what I'm assuming) that long for a quality, no B.S. hook-up with another woman. My only criticism here is that this montage scene covers literally the entire porn! You get clips of what is the only conversations the women have, you know who ends up with who, and you even see where and how they have sex. You get the entire film in pill form at the beginning, only 3 minutes and 30 seconds to cover it all. I have to be honest and tell you that it really did affect my excitement level for the film, and not in a good way. I know this is pretty typical of porns but I had high expectations for such a highly female-geared film.

So what do I mean when I say this film is appealing to a more female audience? It's not really about the fact that this film boasts an all-female cast. It's in the script and directing (kudos to Director Mike Quasar). The conversations, what little there is, between the characters is definitely written in a way that women would really communicate. Here's a quick example:

Woman 1: "How lucky was I to meet you tonight?"

Woman 2: "You're lucky?"

It's that sweet small talk, that give-and-take of compliments that you'll find with women and it definitely made the porn feel more real for me and really get me interested in not only the sex, but the characters. So I do think women, no matter your sexual orientation, may just enjoy this film since it has a feeling of comfort and familiarity to the way we interact.

The Sex

But enough of the little details, you want to know about the sex, right? Well there are 5 sex scenes and, therefore, 5 pairings of women. They all have little conversations prior to 'picking' each other for their hook-up and they're matched for some reason or another. They all go through the formulaic porn sex structure: kissing and fondling, to manual stimulation, to oral sex. Yeah, it's a little predictable, but occasionally the couples throw something a little more creative into the mix like the 69 position or toe sucking.

And as I said earlier, the sex is a bit vanilla (you know, other than the fact that it's homosexual pairing). You won't find any fetish play, no bondage or dominance, and not a single toy.

What?

I know, right! I figured these older women-who-love-women would really be the kind to own at least a small collection of sex gizmos to spice things up. Why did not a single one pull out a wand massager, a harness, a dildo, not even a discreet vibrator? Ah the disappointment.

The Sex Pairings

I don't want to give up any surprises, especially considering what little there is, but here are some quick details about the pairings that could be of interest to anyone considering this porn.

1. Two brunettes are the first to pair up for the night. They introduce the concept of "speed dating hook-up" and then proceed with the sex formula.

2. In this pairing, one of the women is a slightly curvier woman which I greatly appreciated but sadly she never removes her corset and stockings.

3. Though I thought these women would be my least favorite pairing, I actually loved them the most. Their pre-sex and mid-coitus conversations cracked me up and I actually found their sex to be the most realistic.

4. These are two blonds, one foreign, and there is plenty of foot foreplay in this scene.

5. One of the women in this last scene is also a shapelier woman and does manage to get completely undressed.

One thing I greatly appreciate about this porn is the range of body types: skinny and curvy, natural and surgically enhanced breasts, shaved and trimmed/natural pubic area, unadorned or pierced/tattooed bodies, etc. I appreciate the variety and definitely found my favorites.

Random Experience Info

Here are some interesting tidbits about this film that was part of my experience. First, at point 73:45 you can hear a crew member walking around the set. That really snapped me out of whatever sexual focus I was in.

Also, I've learned that leather furniture may be sexy but it's not the best thing to have sex on because it makes a hell of a lot of noise! Two of the pairs are on leather sofas.

Lastly, this film really stands out from the average porn in that fact that there's no music! Well, no non-diegetic music.

Side note: Diegetic sound has a realistic source in the scene. When you hear music in the bar at the beginning, it's because it's playing on the stereo there. When you hear footsteps in that scene, it's because the women are walking on the hard floors. Non-diegetic sound is background music that doesn't have a realistic source in the scene. In the average porn, there is background music during sex but there's no source to that music and the characters can't "hear" it.

So there's music in the bar but the sex scenes have absolutely no music! Not that I'm very fond of the cheesy music typically found in porns, but it was also a little strange to have silence. Perhaps the characters could have turned on a radio or put in a CD to justify some background music while still keeping it realistic?
