XConfessions 13

Bringing the voices of sex workers center stage, Erika Lust directs the first part in a series of docu-explicit films in her XConfessions series. Maria Riot hires Dante Dionys as an escort, for his first time escorting with a woman, and her first time hiring an escort. The sexual chemistry and tension is as vivid and exciting as the best XConfessions films, but it not only features incredible sex. Maria and Dante let us into their fascinating lives and minds through conversations with Erika on their experiences as sex workers and porn performers. Enlightening, tender and thrilling, Erika Lust pushes through yet more walls on her mission for sex positivity and equality in the vanguard of adult cinema.

Sally Fenaux Barleycorn returns to the XConfessions series with her second explicit film. Putting her lengthy and successful career thus far in the film industry to good use, Sally brings her creative spark to the world of dating apps. Viktoria Vaar stars with the man who lives up to his name, Sweet James, as a passenger and taxi driver who embark on a surreal, fantastical, erotic journey through the ups and (mainly) downs of trying to date through Tinder. What Viktoria really wants is a real-life spark, a moment of surprising chemistry... and she just might find it.

Part Two of Erika Lust's series Sex Work is Work continues to bring the voices of real sex workers center stage. Maria Riot is back for another first time experience and insights into her adventures in the world of camming. Moth & Rust, two irresistibly cool and beautiful cammers from the States, perform a live cam show for Maria, looking at the camera and asking her what she'd like to see, as she pleasures herself with a doxy massager - and let's us watch. Lust captures the magic of first-time experiences, and the joy of a cam session whilst maintaining her keen insightful eye on the subject of sex work as legitimate work and the hypocrisy of stigma that sex workers have to face.

Scandinavian directing trio Luvvbites joins the XConfessions series for their first Guest Directed film, the inimitable and unforgettable Frostbite. Featuring two first-time Finnish performers, Luvvbites skillfully take us inside the lustful imagination of a woman in a sauna. A vital part of Finnish culture, the steam room and it's nudity are taken from their usual casual enjoyment to new heights of pleasure, as the heat of passion envelops a woman and pulls us into her erotic fantasy.

Our newest member in the XC-directors-club, Terri Heart, enchants us with some real english charm in “Pirate Jenny Strikes Again”. Boat-owner Jenny, played by the fabulous Daisy Steel, desperately wants to sell her boat on the canal of the river thames. Lets just say luckily for her, and her prospective buyer Stirling Cooper, Jenny can be VERY convincing in times of need. As any real pirate would say: The rougher the seas, the smoother we...well fuck! Ahoy! And sailors beware: If you do not like bloody surprises, you might want to keep your finger on the pause-button towards the end.
