Date sent: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 00:23:59 -0400 (EDT) From: Joey MarkhamTo: [email protected] Subject: REVIEW: "Sexual Instinct" This is the story of Leslie (Ashlyn Gere), a painter of nude models and whose work isn't quite appreciated by her boyfriend Sean (Mike Horner) who is also a painter (but doesn't paint nude subjects). Leslie tries to get her agent Ron (Tom Chapman in a non-sex role) to ship some of her work into a well known art gallery but the gallery owner Troy (Jon Dough) doesn't find the paintings suitable to hang up on his walls to sell to the public. Troy gets Gloria (Cassidy), his secretary, to ship the paintings back to Ron but they somehow manage to find their way back into the gallery and surprisingly sell like hotcakes. How they got back isn't clear (I guess Ron resorted to other connections or maybe he bought them all himself to make Leslie happy?), but this simple set-up only leads to a few incendiary performances (mainly by the always incredible Ashlyn Gere) that might have you doing more than stroking a few light touches with a paintbrush. :-) SEXUAL INSTINCT director: Eric Edwards, 1992. Dreamland Entertainment. cast: Ashlyn Gere, P.J. Sparxx, Cassidy, Leanna Foxx, Melanie Moore, Mike Horner, Jon Dough, Tom Chapman (non-sex). rating: 2.75/4.00 scenes: - Ashlyn Gere (masturbation) - Ashlyn Gere, Peter North (blowjob only) - Cassidy, Jon Dough - P.J. Sparxx, Leanna Foxx / Ashlyn Gere (masturbation) - Melanie Moore, Jon Dough - P.J. Sparxx, Peter North - Ashlyn Gere, Mike Horner Things start off in Leslie's studio (which is in her home, next to her bedroom) where she stands in front of her canvas (with its back turned to us) painting a portrait of Joanne (P.J. Sparxx), a nude model posing on a chair. Joanne asks how it's looking and Leslie tells her it's exquisitely beautiful (somehow I doubt that - I mean, we all know Ashlyn Gere is a very talented woman but painting is probably not one of her fortes since they aren't showing us what it looks like :-). Leslie feels she's losing her concentration so she calls it a day and phones up Ron to ask him if he's working on contacting Troy's art museum. He says he'll be expecting a call soon enough and they end their phone conversation abruptly. Leslie, who's sitting on her bed, takes her shoes off and thinks back on Joanne, getting quite excited. So she lays back and starts playing with herself. (SCENE 1): We can always count on Ashlyn Gere to bring a scene to life - even a single girl masturbation scene such as this one. Ashlyn starts off slow and sensually, rubbing herself gently and taking off her clothes. She rubs her clit faster (after turning over on her stomach) and cums. Not intensely, but it's still a nice way to start the movie with a view of Ashlyn's glorious body as she writhes at the touch of her own hands. Over at the gallery. Gloria visits Troy in his office and tells him that it sounds like someone is pressuring him into getting their paintings in the gallery. He tells her that they're nude portraits and she shows an interest in taking a peek at them once they arrive from shipping. Then she says she's getting bored of their current, mundane collection. He smiles at her. Back at Leslie's, Sean pays a visit and they talk about her work. He's thinking she could put her talents into another area of painting but she tells him that's her style - she's exploring eroticism because nude paintings go back for centuries and after trying her hand at it, loved it ever since. She pokes fun at him and asks when he's going to show her his latest "G"-rated painting. He tells her not to make fun of his work then gets up to go to a business meeting. Leslie goes back to the studio where she works on her latest subject, a male model named Bob (Peter North). He sits with his back up and appears quite nervous and stiff (no pun intended). She looks up from her canvas and tells him he has a nice body. He nervously smiles back and tells her she also has a nice body (but she's dressed). Then she asks him if he'd like to see her nude, that perhaps it might make him feel more comfortable. She takes her clothes off and says, "I want to show eroticism in my work and I will go to any extremes to get it" - so she ends up stepping right up to him and gives him a blowjob. (SCENE 2): A decent, though brief, blowjob that ends with Peter supposedly cumming inside Ashlyn's mouth, which she supposedly swallows. Peter doesn't fake an orgasm as good as Ashlyn gives head, however. With Bob all eased up, Leslie rushes back to her canvas to capture it all. Hours later, Leslie receives a call from Ron who tells her that the paintings have been sent to the gallery along with a little extra money as an incentive. Over at the gallery, Troy tells Gloria the new shipment has arrived and she's most interested at taking a look at the nude male paintings so they head into another room to check them out. When they come back, Gloria can't get over how life-like Leslie's work is and says, "Imagine the public reaction with *those* in the gallery?". But he tells her he has some previous commitments to some very important people, so he decides he can't hang them on his walls after all. Gloria still can't get over the paintings she's just seen and tells Troy she has sexual sensations all over her body. Wasting no time, he feels those same sensations as he leans forward to kiss her and they do it on the couch they're sitting on. (SCENE 3): After taking off her top and revealing her nice, natural breasts, Cassidy lays back as Jon licks her pussy through her panties. Then he parts it to the side to get a taste of the real thing. While Jon takes off his pants, Cassidy lightly strokes her pussy but then doesn't return the favor by giving him head, she immediately rides him. After doing the cowgirl, they do it like dogs (doggie style) then he pulls out and, without stroking himself, cums on her ass. Nicely shot, but rather plain unfortunately. Sean's telling Leslie, at her place, that she's throwing away valuable time and that she's a very talented painter, but quite hard headed. "I'm not gonna change my work just because some people don't like my style," she tells him. "It's not a matter of style," he replies, "it's a matter of subject!". But later on in her studio, she continues to paint several portraits of nude models. She does one of two women (P.J. Sparxx and Leanna Foxx) but she cuts it short by asking them if they would like to join her for lunch. They tell her they're not hungry so she leaves by herself (well, actually, she steps into her bedroom to spy on her two nude subjects whom she just knows are going to fool around by themselves - and they do). (SCENE 4): P.J. gets into it as Leanna licks her pussy, but she doesn't quite do her squealing routine where she shuts her lips tightly and opens her eyes wide. Then P.J. licks Leanna's pussy and Leanna enjoys it very much herself, hitting the big O. Intercut with this is Ashlyn Gere masturbating up against a wall. Ron gives Troy a call to ask about the Leslie Collection and if he's going to put them up on display. Troy tells him he needs a little bit more time to think about it and their conversation ends soonafter. A while later, Troy tells Gloria to get the collection together to ship back and she does so. With Gloria gone from her desk, a model named Sara (Melanie Moore) steps into Troy's office. It's not clear why she's visiting him (unless she was hired by Ron to put the paintings up for sale - but that isn't made clear either) but she takes off her clothes in front of Troy and he recognizes her from a nude painting he's seen her in before. "Boy, do you look like your portrait," he compliments. "Yeah, but I'm better," she slyly grins as she lowers herself down to his crotch. "I *fuck*". (SCENE 5): Melanie pulls down Jon's pants then gives him head. Melanie's wearing a wig here (or extensions) but still looks cute. Then Jon licks her pussy and fucks her mish style. Upon penetrating her, Melanie says, "Oh my God!" as he pumps her faster. Melanie loves being on the receiving end and they remain in this position the whole time until Jon pulls out and has her jerk him off on her pussy. After some more bickering about how she should choose something less taboo to paint about, Sean and Leslie calm themselves down and decide to go out that night, after their work shifts. So it's back to the studio for Leslie as she sets up both Joanne and Bob on a couch. She poses them in several positions first before finally deciding on something she likes and heads over to her canvas. As she starts to paint, she introduces the two models to eachother and tells them to get to know eachother a little bit better - and they do, by kissing for starters. (SCENE 6): After kissing, P.J. gives Peter a blowjob and from the way he's moaning he seems to really like it. He licks her pussy after and she also likes it well enough. They do a so-so mish and before they get into the reverse-cowgirl, P.J. whispers, "I wanna ride you. I wanna get on top of you and ride your cock like a horse". Then she jokes around and whispers something like, "Tell me to stick my finger up your ass" and winks at him. So they do the RC next (again, just so-so) and for the cumshot, Peter pulls out from underneath and shoots up her belly, which she smears on her stomach and breasts. After the paintings have been shipped off (or so they think), Troy tells a slightly depressed (but totally nude - ??) Gloria that they'll just have to adjust. After their night out on the town, a very excited Leslie can't believe how much fun she had and thanks Sean for taking her out. Then he mentions the subject of painting and how they still managed to have a good time even though they haven't brought up the same old issues that get them going at eachother's throats. Then Leslie becomes intruiged with a thought. "Speaking of painting," she says, "why don't I paint you?". Sean disagrees with the idea but she tries to impose it onto him. "Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of," she says as she gets up from the couch, "let me show you". She starts undressing and tells him they've been together long enough that it's time they get rid of their 'clothing facade' and remain with their 'bare essentials'. Fully undressed, Leslie tells him, "This is the real me". When she makes her way over to him she says, "You know, our relationship can't go any further until we make love". So she kisses him and they make love. (SCENE 7): They start off by kissing and embracing rather passionately, but their attitudes turn wanton once Ashlyn starts to suck off Mike. Mike licks her pussy very briefly (so brief that we don't even see it - they focus on Ashlyn's upper body mostly) then they do a blistering mish. Mike even starts grunting and plowing into her like a beast. They do a hot doggie-style poke next and at one point, Mike just keeps himself still and lets Ashlyn buck back and forth into him. Perhaps a little too much focus on their faces than on the action itself, but it's still scorching. Mike pulls out and cums on her ass. Both naked in Troy's office (??), he and Gloria are wondering how the nude paintings ever got put up in the gallery walls, but they've all been sold out, giving their place good business. Gloria mentions she'd like to thank whoever was responsible for it. Ron gives Leslie a call with the good news and when she tells Sean about it, he admits she's proven him wrong and to make up for it, they end up having sex again. The end. The storyline for this one was ok but a little incomplete in spots (like how these paintings go from being shipped out to being put on display - unless we just assume that when Ron gave a little incentive, someone else who works at Troy's gallery (who we don't see) is responsible for it). Other than that, we are presented with ordinary sex with extraordinary people (all the girls looked very pretty). The camera work, editing, music and props were all good but it's Ashlyn Gere that makes this production even better. Even the role as Leslie suited her well enough, and she is one of porn's better actresses anyhow so dialog is just one of the things that comes naturally to her. Trust your "Sexual Instinct" when you see Ashlyn Gere's name on a movie box and you'll be in for a real treat. Joey Markham
