Female
Gym Coach: Jump and Straddle
Though
artistically shot on film and featuring some pretty cute girls, this
is one of the worst attempts at pornography that I have ever seen.
The story is so jumbled and dumb that it makes me snicker. It's
coming up to competition time for the pretty office girls of the Kara
Cosmetics Company. Kei (Junko Asahina) and her co-workers are
preparing their amateur rhythmic gymnastics team for an upcoming
competition. As the team wonders about the coach's ability to perform
both on and off the court, Kei's sexual relationship with the coach
is revealed. Long ago, the coach and Kei slept together before a big
competition and she lost and now he is worried that it will happen
again... or is that the true twist? Could he not like women at all
but men?

Office
Love: Behind Closed Doors
The
title says it all doesn't it? Reiko is a high class call girls
employed by a large corporation. She'll do anything and everything
necessary to help her employer land new business, hint hint. Of
course this involves kinky sex and humiliation (which I'm just not
into - if this is your thing then you may enjoy it) to please the
rich clientele. Though the plot thickens when she secretly beds rival
company executives on her own time! Reiko's world turns upside down
when her former lover comes back into the picture for her affection
but is now shockingly married! Then another shy employee vies for her
affections pitting her into a bit of a sticky (pun intended)
situation.
Directed
