The rating combines the heat of the sex -- interesting, with some good-looking women, but not that hot, not that much of it, and all in group settings -- with the amazing amount of (for a change, accurate) information provided on the concept of "Lifestyles" -- or, in other words, swinging.

Nina Hartley, Shayla LaVeaux and Alexandra Silk host the tape, which was shot at the 1998 Lifestyles convention in Las Vegas.  Nina's an old (in the nicest sense of the word) hand at the subject, Shayla's the newcomer, and Alexandra is somewhere in between.  The gals talk about the rewards and pitfalls of swinging, interview several current swingers, check out the hucksters room where all sorts of sexy clothing and sexual devices (very loosely defined) are available... and, of course, fuck and get fucked.

Sexually, the real main attraction is the last half-hour, which starts with a roughly 10-girl orgy, then moves to a whole suite full of couples, threesomes, etc., etc.  And as is usual with trying to cover orgies, the camera rarely focuses on any one encounter long enough for anyone to get off on it.  We have no doubt, however, that it was a lot more being there.
