Let's travel back to 1982 th4rough a time machine. A time in porn where characters seemed real. Slow, sensual foreplay was in and we actually had the opportunity to see characters teasingly take their clothes off.

Wild Dallas Honey, filmed over three years ago, but seeing video debut now, has all of these, plus terrific production values and some historical asides. It also sports some of the most believable emoting you'll ever find in an adult flick.

Texas. The story centers on the unhappy marriage of two sexually frustrated sisters. The girls, played by Honey wilder (in her debut) and Sharon Mitchell, are married to two lowdown men. Honey's hubby practices adultery, while Sharon's spouse abuses her. So they must find alternative relationships to fulfill their frustrating lives.

Porno-drama, when done poorly, can be embarrassing and boring. But Wild Dallas Honey entices you. Director Jeff Fairbanks takes us to the smokey yahoo bars and swarmy back seats of cars. The story is totally believable, thanks to Wilder and Mitchell's on-target turns.

Most of the sex scenes are played and filmed with tender, loving care. Especially erotic is the sensitive coupling of Wilder and spacey beauty Tigr. They rub, caress, nibble, lick, whisper, hold and come.

Wild Dallas Honey, a superb "couples" film, has only one major flaw: it's a bit too low-keyed. One pull-out-all-the-stops Humpty-Dumpty would've helped. Call it Mild Dallas Honey.
