If you're just looking for a nice, healthy turn-on, Sensual Friends is actually pretty good.

Story line is dead simple: three young, attractive, prosperous married couples who are old friends spend weekend together in posh Santa Barbara style house. One extra single girl, recently broken up with her husband, and also in the clique, adds extra interest because all the guy friends have long lusted after her.

Dialog, story-line, and acting, though hardly brilliant, are several cuts above everyday slam-bam porn. The actors are all quite attractive--no tattoos or body piercing or cheap clothes. And the sexual chemistry between and among them is good, the sex scenes are nicely staged and erotically convincing. The girls event take their shoes off.

It's well photographed, but doesn't try to be artsy-no vaseline lenses. Guys look like they're sincerely heterosexual. And the girls, sexy but not slutty, look like they're having a genuine good time--not faking.

So either these people really are good actors and actresses--or they were actually having a fun weekend.
