A good segment and a terrible one
lor_18 February 2024
The two Pure Taboo vignettes on this DVD have many similarities: both concern unusual threesomes (in which one player is not part of the hardcore sex), climax in creampies, and are not believable. But while the title scene is effective, the supporting segment is mean-spirited crap.

To begin with the bad news: A particularly noxious segment of Pure Taboo, dipping back in the website's archive from 2020, is "The Extra Mile", giving the viewer a dose of evil behavior that, unlike great novels or conventional entertainment, has the bad guys winning all the way. Producer Bree Mills owes her fans (and subscribers) an apology.

In a NonSex role, Olive Glass does a fine acting job as a smug, manipulative and creepy boss who enjoys giving her personal assistant Rebecca Vanguard unreasonable assignments. She knows her employee really, really needs her job in order to pay the medical costs as caregiver for her ailing mom who she lives with, and takes advantage of that to cooly demand that Vanguard have sex with Dan Ferrari, Glass's husband. Poorly directed by the team of Casey Calvert and Eli Cross (a/k/a Bryn Pryor), the confrontational scene where Dan & Olive demand sex right there in the office is preposterous, yet it is the key moment in the entire vignette.

The actual sex, with Olive actively directing Rebecca what to do, is mechanical and repetitive -basically inviting the viewer to fast-forward. Casting of Dan Ferrari as the husband ruins the scene as well -he's a nonentity who doesn't belong in a non-gonzo acting role. Waiting at the end of this is a lousy ending designed to leave a bitter taste. An audience deserves better, much better.

Title scene suggests a porn-parody-title for a Barry Manilow hit song. Rubber-faced Dee Williams makes something special out of this rather odd vignette, lifting the usual far-fetched script out of silliness to an unusual combination of humor and drama.

As the facetious title suggests, it's about a case of arrested development. Alex Mack's sexual experience is strictly with his lusty stepmom (Dee) and after six months of marriage to lovely Kenna James, he can't ejaculate with his wife even though both of them are set on having kids. After he's finally confessed the source of his "failure to launch" problem to Kenna, the couple goes to visit Dee and see what can be done.

It's amazing how expressive Dee can be while saddled with this risible premise: at first she plays dumb, then is fraught with pained expressions when confronted by her son with accusations of having seduced him in the first place, and finally, she is shown cutely licking her lips as Kenna strips for the trio's sex scene together.

It's a taboo sex vignette with a difference, and rather kinky in that Dee is quite busy during the couple's humping, there as a source of sexual stimulation for son Alex, but remaining in character as leaving the youngsters to build up to an inevitable baby-maker creampie.
