Another batch of stunning young newbies proffered by Ed Powers, but when it comes down to the actual fucking and sucking, things tend to falter. The cast of Vol. 222 is especially impressive, with a mouth-watering assortment of exotics (Audrina Sky and Shiva) and blonde girl next-door types (Dia and Austin O'Riley). The opener with Sky threatens to cook, but Powers' new practice of condomized everything (b.j. etc.), and of rather unceremoniously dumping the contents of the used sperm corral on the tight young body of his partner is a serious aesthetic challenge to his work.

Vol. 223 suffers from much the same set of shortcomings, although the g/g with Morgana and Heidi Rain is rather hot as long as they're left alone.
