Lesbian Babysitters Volume 5

Some of the vignettes in Nica Noelle's 5th volume of this hit series are memorable, if not classic examples of the durable Older/Younger theme in lesbian erotica. I had my doubts when Sweetheart Video launched this concept, but it keeps getting better.

Confounding all expectations is the Madison Young meets prospective sitter Aiden Ashley segment. Not only is Young a leading proponent of radical feminist lesbian porn, but here she's humping before the cameras while 8 months pregnant! And instead of being a dom as usual, she's seduced by the cute young thing when Aiden discovers her new employer is a single mom.

This scene has none of the violent, impassioned lovemaking that typifies a Young- directed video, but is instead soft and sensual, with the shock-gimmick of a much- pregnant lady having sex on screen completely defused. Other than the big belly, this is just another girl-on-girl sex scene, and extraordinary in its surprising ordinariness.

A personal favorite of mine, Inari Vachs, whose career was mainly devoted to boy/girl assignments, is terrific in Sapphic action with ultra-busty Natasha Nice, a performer "deserving greater recognition" in my book. The two hit it off and Vachs' quiet purring like a cat while Nice services her is an object lesson to those porn artistes who insist on making a fake ruckus to pretend they are passionate.

Such a performer is Teri Weigel, legendary for her screaming routine that turned off many a porn fan in the '90s. She's more controlled here, thank God, at age nearly 50, and her acting's up to snuff as she won't take any guff from her best friend's daughter Lexi Belle. This is a strong scene between two superstars from different eras, and auteur Nica Noelle makes one of her usual cameo appearances as Lexi's mean mom.

Finale hits the spot as busty Lana Lopez confronts babysitter Jessie Andrews, and accuses her of sleeping with her hubby. Jessie pleads not guilty and confesses that she has a crush on Lana instead. We all know where that leads to and the only question is why Lopez, who started as a fetish model, didn't make a bigger splash in the adult industry?
