Those of us old enough to have flirted with late '60s—early '70s counterculture recall dank basements, blacklight posters, The Doors, and a fistful of Owsley acid... but psychedelics never conjured up visions as seductive and arousing as those in Psychedelisex.

Simple but hot throughout, this vid reaches —and maintains— what should be the contemporary standard for wall-to-wall material. While the title implies a certain kind of pharmaceutical chemistry, the true magical ingredient captured here is physical chemistry.

The opening lesbian clench with Coral Sands and Taylor Moore begins with a generous helping of tease, escalates to a bit of high-heel fetish, and finally graduates to a fully-blown orgasmic session of fingering, pussy-munching and dildos up the wazoo. Definitely worth a pre-nom for best girl/girl scene of '99.

One of the crucial aspects of capturing hot anal sex is the initial penetration shot, which many vids leave out due to the technical difficulty of threading the proverbial camel cock through the eye of a tightly-puckered needle. Not so in the Byron Long/Victoria Del Rio encounter, which includes the bun-busting breach in all its glory. Del Rio's ass is a meaty target for Byron's bone, and they rock the house until he blows a load on her chest.

An all-white netherworld is the location for two close encounters of the rectal kind. In one, Alexandra Silk begins to make love to a department store mannequin, who suddenly becomes alive and horny in the person of, well, Dave Hardman. Alexandra starts sucking on his nuts as if they contained liquid gold, and soon he's up her ass like stink on a monkey. It's a fine scene, also worthy of nomination; but not too much later Hardman teams up to plunder the pussy and booty of Obsession with his tag-team mate Frank Towers. If we hadta pick between the two, we'd choose the latter.

Strangely —or perhaps not so strangely, since this is a trippy vid— we found the sole non-anal scene to be one of the hottest. Featuring cute, natural blond Allysin Chaynes and her friend Mark Vega, this tryst occurs on a merry-go-round, where he's enticed by her skimpy bondage outfit. With her dog collar chain dangling enticingly in the foreground while she's mounted from behind, Allysin's gratification is a joy to behold.

If the vid were just a touch nastier, or had a bit more production value, it would've scored a full five-A Editor's Choice. A special nod to the editing: Subtle FX are used quite appropriately, while the action is always generously spaced but tightly-paced.
