Coming Home was rated as one of the top ten porn movies to watch with your girlfriend. A DVD doesn’t get much better in terms of endorsements. And Wicked films deserves the kudos. I absolutely love the disclaimer before the film promoting safe sex practices and the use of condoms if not in a monogamous relationship. Three cheers to porn empires who are looking to reduce the risk of STI’s and pregnancy!

Released in 2007 the film is 3 hours and 7 minutes worth of awesome. Minus my DVD player deciding the DVD was scratched and skipping over bits and pieces the movie was fantastic. Is it possible to be sentimental and pornographic at the same time? Yes, yes it is. I mean let’s not go crazy, it IS porn, the acting isn’t going to break your heart, but you certainly melt a little and go “Awwwww!” when the emotional scenes come up. Just like you moan and cry out with pleasure as you please yourself alongside the action in the DVD.

The film is a jewel in the adult industry: its a movie that is actually about something. It manages to be moving without being sappy, and has a message without being preachy. It’s written, directed by and starring Brad Armstrong in the lead role, Coming Home tells the story of Brian Parsons, an Army reservist who gets called back to duty and sees his home life shattered as a result. His girlfriend Sarah, played by Kirsten Price, makes his last few days memorable with sex, sex, and more sex, not to mention a bit of romantic TLC. Perhaps unintentionally the movie makes a rather poignant statement about the unexpected effects the war in Iraq is having/can have on soldiers lives.

The movie by no means takes any political sides, but it does address an issue that mainstream media has yet to tackle: what happens to the men who finally do make it home? In the film Brian asks his best friend, Jimmy (Barrett Blade), to watch over Sarah while he is gone. In an impressively short and sex free cameo Randy Spears co-stars as Brad s drill instructor. Brian gets injured and, as the result of a mix-up, he s reported dead back home. You can imagine the mourning sex, and the shock when his loved ones realize he’s not dead but they’ve kinda moved on… with each other…

The sex is perfectly couple-y. A lot of his and her scenes with straight laced sex and oral. There are two group scenes when they are all at the army camp and a bunch of horny soldiers meet up with the pretty medics for some late night fun and then again when everyone is getting it on at the drive in movies. But mainly it's couples sex, yes the couples change throughout the movie as they offer each other comfort sex, and then revenge sex, but it's mostly nice, safe lets have sex kinda sex with the exception of one anal scene right near the end.

The bonus, disc includes exclusive scenes, a Jenna Jameson scene from the 90s, a blooper reel, and a mini-documentary on the making of the movie, and a bit of fun with Randy- it makes the two disc version well worth it.

Overall, a fantastic addition to the collection filled with good story, great sex, and a message that fits for our time.

My partner and I have decided that Sunday mornings are for lounging in bed and just devouring one another. Our new favorite is porn in bed. This DVD was the perfect blend of waking up, getting lost in each other, taking a storyline break to cool down, and then get right back into the action. It has become a DVD that will stay in the rotation, because it's worth a second watch.
