Here's a Skinemax movie with decent character development....I give it a B+
Smooth B5 September 2002
This was one kinky little movie. "Secret Needs" has it all....deceit, betrayal, backstabbing, sex, fetishes, sex, mate-swapping, and even more sex.

It starts out with Harry (Nicholas Yff) and his wife, Lisa Ann (Erin Marie, of the two first-names variety). Lisa Ann is a hot-headed neat-freak, but she's also a freak somewhere else too--in the sack. As the movie begins, she says, "Honey, you know I don't like doing it with the lights on." Yeah, like she's so prudish.

A few minutes goes by, and Harry is taking a drive. He crashes into the car of a woman, Jessica (Lisa Comshaw, a veteran of these types of flicks). Jessica and Harry have some coffee a moment later, exchanging insurance information. Jessica slips Harry a card with an address on it. Married-guy Harry doesn't think twice about throwing it away.....but he still doesn't. He goes to the address and finds out that Jessica makes a living as a dominatrix/hooker/call girl combination. He's so turned on the first time he goes there that he and Jessica begin a passion-filled affair. Harry tries his best to keep Jessica and his wife separate, but fails miserably.

Bill and Kiki, Harry and Lisa Ann's friends and next-door neighbors, contribute two great scenes to the movie. The first is when they have sex on a pool table--great scene. The second is when they come over for a little get-together with Harry and Lisa. Lisa Ann, who by this point in the movie has lost all her prudish characteristics, tell Bill and Kiki to come over for a little mate-swapping. Harry doesn't know this, however, since he's been out getting laid by Jessica. He shows up for what he thinks is a little harmless dinner-and-chat afterwards, but as soon as the conversation turns to sex, he gets jumpy. He reluctantly gets it on with Kiki, but not after Lisa Ann practically threw herself at a very willing Bill and had gone upstairs already.

Eventually the mistress and the wife will cross paths, which upsets both parties. Up until this point, the story and the characters were quite good, but then the plot heads south and never really recovers. The final two scenes are quite strange in that they're inconsistent with what had happened to the characters the whole movie. Those scenes notwithstanding, "Secret Needs" is a pretty good film.

Women: A- (Lisa Comshaw is a decent woman, but Erin Marie and Heidi France brought most of the goods)

Sex: A- (Most of the scenes were quite good, especially the mate-swapping scenes)

Story: B (Started off good, but went south for the final third of the film)

Overall: B+ (Better than most skin flicks, but needed a stronger ending.)

Superficially kinky, decently erotic on the execution.

When a soft core flick from early 2000's deals with S&M, parallel-sex scenes (kinky!) you can expect the best.

This movie is filled with plenty of arousing sexual situations that deal with a horny young and super hot I might add wife who is into sexual aggressiveness and sadomasochism. But if that's not enough, we also get a very hot and nimpho maid or something like that who gets excited with danger.

The highlights of the movie in my opinion (in importance order): 1) The steamy parallel sex scenes than happen as a consequence of swingers. Both blondes get it on really hard and deliver very sexual kisses including tongue and more; and if it's not enough, they move really fast hard and explicit when being on top. You can't get a better scene. It's excellent.

2) Lisa Comshaw dressing with a very skimpy and sexy mini skirt and a maid outfit. When Harry is doing her, she tells him "undress me, except for the apron". Oh, I wish I could live something similar

Nicholas Yff is not the conventional soft core lead actor. He's not that good looking but he has "something". He's funny looking I guess.

Lisa Comshaw is perfect in her mistress character because she's kinky, crazy, and likes it rough. I love her.

Erin Marie has the typical looks of "I have the attitude and gestures of a bitch but I'm extremely aggressive and I act like an animal in bed". Oh she performs like angels on sex and she delivers some very good S&M material.

Overall, this is a kinky addition for my soft core collection.

S&M SOFTCORE
bazdol19 April 2001
Warning: Spoilers
This DTV film features Nicolas YFF, Lisa Comshaw, Julia Kruis, and Erin Marie-Dykeman. YFF plays a man who in order to clear up some sexual problems visits a dominatrix played by Lisa who is just great in this role. Unfortunately, YFF detracts from the film with his dour expression and bulky body which is badly in need of some sun. One of the women (Marie-Dykeman, I belive) looks anorexic and has silicone malformed breasts, ala Shauna O.Brien. I wish softcore actresses wouldn't do this although it is common in hardcore; it cheapens them, I think.

Aside from these spoilers, the picture is pretty good for this genre. Lisa herself is worth the price of admission.

Awesome!

Erin Marie is a GODDESS!! This is a cheesy soft porn flick intended for showing on Cinemax or Skinemax as some people call it... but somehow it transcends it all. Some great light bondage scenes, and the wife swapping scene (with the super hot Erin Marie as the wronged housewife) is killer! This is how cult careers get started. I love this girl!

Good Stuff if You Like Sullen Women With Big Floppy Breasts

Pity the Imdb doesn't have the names of the actors and actresses in this movie, because they are damned incredible.

I have never seen someone play a sullen pouty cleaning-obsessed pottery-making wife like this chick did. And the accident victim-dominatrix-plumber-pizza delivery woman was right on top of her role as well.

Like they were made for these roles. Incredible casting.

Oh yeah, and there was a lot of booty. Ugly guy, mediocre-to-poor chicks. No variety in the action. Three cleaning scenes, one car accident, one clay pot hurled at the wall.

Wackjob says miss it unless you're REALLY bored.
