INTRODUCTION
Erotica in the '90s won't be defined until the middle of the decade it seems at
this point. Innovations in home video haven't yet caught up with the booming industry
of carnal cassettes. What is really making it sales-wise these days is a cheap
price. Period.
It doesn't matter to the wholesale distributor and retailer as a rule, so there
you have it. The porn you love is being mass merchandised with all the subtlety
of a flying mallet. This singular trend in tape marketing irrevocably has changed
the erotic motion picture business. Now we get lots of cheap stuff, and not much
good stuff. But read on, because that's what we live for. There is a noticeable
trend of returning to the heat and meat quotient that critics live for. Whatever
the reason, we're glad to see a return to it. So here we go with some red hot
releases, some not so hot hard-core and plenty of glutty smut. Beyond all the
wading through knee deep X-dreck, we have put together a well rounded carnal companion
that brings you such features as a dissertation on the societal shift in the last
ten years and what that means to porn fans. We also ontinue our Soft Corner look
into hot movies from the mainstream of Hollywood.
Couple that with a no-punches pulled peek into Interracial Video by our resident
couple, and no-bullshit look into labias from porn star supreme, Nina Hartley
and you have an issue you can take to the bathroom, or over breakfast. Check out
our centerspread of the month, a newly blonde April West. It all adds up to more
bang for your buck, reviews that you can count on, and no self-conscious smuggery
like some of those other, less qualified carnal compendiums. Enjoy!
