Tristan Taormino's series got off to a great start by winning AVN's Best Gonzo Release, and the second volume maintains the pace. It's less intrigue-ridden, more relaxed and generally even more erotic.

The sexual chemistry is off the chart – you feel it in every scene, which is a big difference from the vast majority of porn flicks, gonzo or feature. Just as revealing are Taormino's "roundtables" and one-on-one "confessions."

Christian is candid about his brushes with gay porn and she-males – he's done it all, he says. Kimberly Kane first got turned on to him watching a Falcon video. "He's an amazing sex performer," she says, then helps him prove it in a very erotic scene.

"That was the real deal," she says afterwards.

Kane, of course, is pretty amazing herself, never more so than in the performer-friendly situations Taormino provides. She has more orgasmic meltdowns with Katja Kassin in their girl-girl scene.

Christian says, "What you like personally shows up on camera." He seems to like girls very much, as he further demonstrates with Luscious Lopez and Kaiya Lynn. Both women are very hot, very responsive, with Nat Turnher as well.

The Perv Cams provided to the talent add a playful element, and in this edition they're well handled, too.

There's quite a bit of bareback anal sex. In a movie from an otherwise condom-only company, this indicates a high level of trust not just in HIV testing but among the performers on hand.

The extras disc contains more "confessions" and chemistry-infused sex.
