Seven strangers are picked to live in a house, and have their sexual intercourse taped. No, this is not Real World: Calabasas, this is Chemistry 2, part of a fresh series by Tristan Taormino, which puts an emphasis on "real" sex and gives it a very clean look.
It is a two-disc set; on the first disk is the feature video. The cover has a fancy award sticker for best gonzo. Maybe people liked it because it was so down to earth rather than off the wall. The sex is not crazy, it's respectful, and the actors all have, ahem, good chemistry. Whether or not it is the best gonzo, it is definitely a new perspective of gonzo.
The cast is eight porn-stars, who each are already working in the biz. They are put in a house where the director asks them to write down when, where, and who they will have sex with, but not how. The sex isn't scripted and there is no soundtrack, which adds to the whole natural thing they're trying to achieve. Because the actors are each charismatic in their own ways, the sex turns out to be beautiful and attractive. The sex is about everyone getting together, laughing, and having fun. There is nothing that could be considered even marginally offensive.
There are many "confessions" with the actors, where they talk about themselves one on one with the camera. It should be known that a lot of the time is spent confessing, rather than sexing, which could be nice, if you wonder about the actors. Usually, people watch porn because they want to see sex. However, the confessions are sort of nice because they make the actors seem less like porn stars and more like porn people.
The second disc is another barrel of free-spirited fun. It has three extra "sex" scenes. Also, there are bonus confessions where the actors talk about their family knowing that they're in the biz. Last, but not least, there are three photo galleries. There is one for sexy photos of the women, one for feature stills, and one for behind the scenes. The behind the scenes gallery shows fully clothed actors HUGGING and SMILING to the background music of reflective alt rock. Not kidding. This could be a different attitude in porn, and it may not be considered erotic to all.
This would be a great film to show to a Human Sexuality 101 class to emphasize non-violent sex with people who care. Give it to your elderly to prove that young people aren't hooligans. But most of all watch this if you think that good sex still doesn't require 'Chemistry.' Chemistry2
