If Forbidden isn't one of the top ten best softcore erotica movies ever made, it's certainly not from a lack of trying. What's interesting is that while the movie most certainly is wall-to-wall sex and nudity, it's also an engaging drama about the magnetic pull between two people "meant to be together."

The lovestruck lead characters of Forbidden meet on the night of the man's bachelor party, a sordid affair during which his best friend is busy sticking his face in every available spot offered up by a pair of rather hot strippers played by blonde Maya Divine (aka Wendy Devine) and brunette Tiffany Mason. The soon-to-be-wed bachelor, however, isn't in the mood, goes for a stroll and meets the positively beautiful Renee Rea.

Seductive in an almost doll-faced, innocent sort of way, Rea is magnetic here; and the viewer is thankfully treated to many a long lingering shot not only of her exquisite body, but also of her round, young face punctuated by a pair of perfect bee-stung lips and wide brown eyes. Indeed, it would have been tough to imagine the bachelor could return to any woman after his steamy night with Rea... that is until you discover he's getting married to the also ridiculously hot Tracy Ryan.

Ryan's a porn vet, and her energetic sex scenes show an uninhibited ease before the camera. While Rea is flirty and cute, Ryan is locked-in and ready for action. The pair, while both blondes, make pretty terrific foils.

The narrative leaps ahead three years to reveal the bachelor now happily married with Ryan, but still thinking every now and again about his one night stand with Rea. Then the unthinkable happens, his playboy best friend, (last seen with Maya Divine's boobs in his face) is getting married, and by the most odd of coincidences, his new wife turns out to be none other than Renee Rea.

At an isolated cabin over a weekend, the two couples get together for an introduction to the friend's soon-to-be wife, and many a plot twist (and romantic coupling) ensue. There's even enough time for the best friend to reminisce about a fling he had with very athletic-looking Inari Vachs! Incredibly, the story holds together rather well and the ending is satisfying.

Better than average shooting, direction, music and acting make Forbidden stand out among its genre counterparts, and through it should be considered a necessary addition to any softcore collector's library, it's a great couples movie and also worth the time of those not as familiar with erotic cinema.

When a journalist (Beverly Lynne) chasing the story of her career goes online looking for love in all the wrong places, nothing in her life will ever be the same. She's about to get the download she's been waiting for, but it's definitely not what she's expecting. You never really know who you're getting into bed with! Also starring Candace Washington, Mia Zottoli, Dee Summers, Holly Hollywood, April Flowers, and Inari Vachs.

In this episode of the television series that portrays saucy tales of erotic irony, a playa gets comeuppance when he is dumped twice in one night for being an insensitive jerk, and then has to dig deep to retrieve the phone number of his dream girl so he can get a second chance with her.

Stars Tawny Roberts as his dream-girl, a nightclub vixen, and Inari Vachs as the playa's put-upon girl-de-jour.
