Review

The Masseuse won the 2005 AVN award for Best Film for a reason, the story is just as important as the sex, and the sex is hotter than lava. Paul Thomas, Jenna and Justin Sterling put their brillant minds together to re-create the erotic experience of the 1990 Vivid classic.

Justin plays Jim, a loner - no real friends, no girlfriend - in fact he's never even been with a woman. I have to applaude Justin for his performance, he's completely believable as the shy, creepy, inexperienced virgin. All of that changes when he meets the beautiful masseuse Barbara (Jenna).

There is a lot of story here (especially in the beginning) that sets up the sex. Fans that prefer the sex be related to the plot will be thrilled. On the flip side if your not a fan of plot you may get a little anxious, however the anticipation, makes the sexual acts even hotter.

And speaking of sex, Jenna and Justin have amazing chemistry. It starts slowly with Justin first paying extra for a handjob, next time its a blowjob. Finally Justin convinces her to come to his house. You won't want to miss the bondage scene in Justin's shed - Jenna on her knees, bound, arms behind her over a bar, while Justin face fucks her. On another visit Jenna brings along Savanna Samson for a lesbian love show - both take turns using a strap-on on each other. Co-stars Evan Stone and Wendy Divine have an at work romp. And the movie ends with Jenna and Justin finally having full blown sex.

Through it all Justin has fallen completely in love with Jenna. He wants to see her all the time, and even shows up at her house at one point. And Jenna seems to have developed a soft spot for Justin. But since I'm not really sure if Justin's character is psychotic, I can't tell you if the ending is a happy one. Either way the performances are top notch and the sex is orgasm-enducing.
