StepMom Lessons 4 (2016) Online

In the world of crime, both organized and white-collar divisions, we have the popular phenomenon known as money laundering. In the world of porn (not that far removed from illegality) we have videos like this one which reflect a similar procedure: wiping away the nationality of the footage for marketing/audience acceptance reasons.

So the obscure Canadian label Babes (or babes.com, which lists Delaware and Ireland on its website) delivers Eastern European-shot porn of high technical quality but anonymous authorship, to a thirsting U.S. audience. This convoluted chain of evidence is s.o.p., but always gets my attention, not unlike the dubious Mainstream cinema practice in recent years where in the end credits we find the British or Hollywood movie we've just seen was funded from Luxembourg or Cyprus.

The gimmick here is impressive and quite competitive with vanilla porn emanating from the Chatsworth assembly line. Each pantomime vignette, and a generous portion is delivered running more than 3 hours in total, has a nuclear family unit in which the parents make love to the nubile and beautiful young daughter. As with all recent incest porn, the "Step" is the signal, here in the title but in U.S. product repeated endlessly in dialog, to authorities that the porn is kosher -the characters humping are not related. This video series skirts the issue of whether daddy is in fact humping his blood daughter, hardly an issue in a pantomime. In the talkies we see locally great pains are made to even handle that loose end: I saw Monique Alexander in a Brazzers vid recently where the notions of "ex-step-mother" and dad disowning his previous daughter inherited from another marriage were dwelled upon in ridiculously intricate and boring fashion.

Speaking of Brazzers, this video's end credits have exactly the same typeface and format as those used by Brazzers, yet another cause for me to go "hmmmmm..." at the question of its provenance.

The five vignettes are well-directed and arousing, with the first segment, titled "Breakfast in Bed" the epitome of the genre, as we watch very familiar faces Leny Ewil and Gina Gerson pawing Kathia Nobiil. IMDb identifies Kathia as being over 30 years old, yet the short actress looks about 14 -just perfect for the legality of the assignment. My favorite vignette stars Lynn Nilsson, a newcomer seen in British porn who is as pretty a blonde as I've seen since the classic Playboy centerfold model Liv Lindeland over 40 years ago.

With successful (and numerous) videos like this we have an equivalent to the sexual practice of role-playing. Lazy voyeurs (obviously myself included) need not bother to role-play and engage in actual sex: instead they can while away their waking hours watching bored porn performers pretending to be younger than they are and pretending to be stepmothers or stepsisters while the viewer is nudge, nudge, carefully instructed to pretend that they are blood relations instead, the onus being on the viewer not the purveyor. John Law is happy and life goes on.
