Girls Get it On

Girls Get it On is indie Australian amateur lesbian porn, made by a woman. The women look like real people, with real bodies, right down to armpit hair and the occasional — gasp — glimpse of belly-fat, as well as pubic hair, which is an endangered species in most porn. (Allow me to skip the obligatory joke about “the Australian bush.”) But don’t misunderstand me — I like real, and these women are all very cute. “Cute” is a word I thought of a lot while watching this. Also “adorable.” And “playful.” Even “kittenish,” briefly, but that’s a dumb adjective, so I promptly stopped thinking it. There are two scenes on the DVD, each featuring one couple — though not a “couple”; this isn’t a movie about real couples having real sex, but about real (we presume) lesbians having sex for the express purpose of being filmed.

My favorite part of this movie was the second scene, featuring the lovely Fuji and the somewhat gawky but cute Armine, making love mostly on a chair in a living room crowded with bookcases. Fuji is the most beautiful woman in the movie, and Armine is clearly just delighted to have the chance to play with someone so attractive; for her part, Fuji is quite enthusiastic, too, and is certainly the most comfortable on camera of any of the women on this disc. (I admit I got rather distracted at one point by some of the books on the shelves in the background — one shelf held all of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels! And there were books by Mary Doria Russell and Frank Herbert and other science fiction and fantasy writers — they looked like my bookshelves! Then I remembered that I was watching porn and returned my attention to the women making out onscreen. I’m not that big a geek. Quite. I did zoom in later to see what other books I could recognize though.)

I went back and forth on this one, but ultimately decided to recommend it, because it really is very charming and genuine, and if the camerawork seems a bit amateurish at times, I can forgive that for the sound of actual non-fake laughter in a sex scene. Real people who have sex laugh sometimes — because they’re having fun — but you don’t hear a lot of laughter in porn. That was a nice surprise.
