James Avalon directs this tale of friendship and desire. Friends & Lovers is the first of a new series from Erotica X and focuses on the stories of passion that emerge in a group of friends and how sex doesn’t always equal love.

Melissa Moore and her boyfriend Rob tell the story of their friend Anissa Kate, who finds the need for a “sexual jolt now and then” and shows that she may be married but she isn’t dead. The camera follows Kate and the handsome Seth Gamble inside her hotel room and doesn’t stop through kissing, heavy petting and everything to follow. The music fades as the action starts and the natural Kate is absolutely stunning, all the way up through the couples-friendly popshot.

Mia Malkova gets off on being a hotwife, and the whole movie leads to the central couple’s own deep desires being realized when they swap with James Deen and blonde cutie Alexa Grace, after they first prime each other up one-on-one.

This is sure to be a fun series, with plenty of opportunity to explore the scenarios that lead to passionate sex. It’s not always black and white, and with a realistic tone set by the storytellers, the need for lengthy establishing dialogue is diminished. Couples, swingers and porn novices will all be pleased with this new series from Erotica X.
