Scene Reviews: Ashford Manor – Part 1, Lust Cinema

Having long been curious about Erika Lust studio, I scooted my big ol’ patootie over to Lust Cinema. Today we are uncovering my experience with Ashford Manor – Part 1 from Lust Cinema, starring Nicole Kitt and Jasmine Teaa and directed by Inka Winter. Additional stars in the series includes: Jonte, Dillon Diaz, and Nolina Nyx. 

Peach Kisser aims to focus on productions that are both erotic and sex-positive, which drew me to this studio for our very first porn scene review. This is also my first experience watching work completed by Inka Winter, and I was excited for the new material!

Erika Lust has long been a fixture in my adult purview, but I am afraid her work and mine have never intersected. I’ve never once viewed the scenes, or read a single Lust Cinema review. However, I’ve long heard rumbles about this site featuring sensual porn for women with excellent storylines. They’re known for sex positivity and “sexually intelligent” narratives that include relatable characters and steamy sex, full of erotic passion. 

Ashford Manor is an interesting concept, parlaying off the stories as written by none other than Jane Austen. Admittedly, these facts alone had me ready to enjoy a sapphic showpiece, brimming with sensuality. I was pleasantly surprised to find how well-produced and deeply sensual the production is, as I found myself drawn more and more deeply into the story. This is a standout feature of what I have, so far, come to learn about films from Lust Cinema.

Ashford Manor – Part 1 – Scene Overview – (Spoilers)

Beginning like true cinema, Ashford Manor – Part 1 transports us back into the 1890s, without the patriarchy looming above us. The scenery is beautiful, narrated to set the scene before we descend upon the characters Annabelle (Nicole Kitt) and Beatrice (Jasmine Teaa). The two girls are scheming and savoring the final blissful nights of Summer before their mothers take over their time before their upcoming grueling training for the next Debutante season. 

The scenery is beautiful, setting a scene of rolling hills and meadows, flowers, and glorious gardens for the girls to enjoy their time in. As Beatrice (Teaa) states her beginning monologue, complaining about her mother and sorely missing her friend Katherine (Nyx), who will not be coming as she was told. 

As she airs her complaints, so does Annabelle. She is also tired of her nagging mother and is welcoming the time spent away from home, this Summer. Eventually, Ms. Harriet steps in, getting the girls in line. Beatrice makes her grievances known. She continues stirring things up, as she clearly is in need of some excitement. 

Beatrice and Annabelle make their way out to the garden, to continue enjoying their Summer days. There’s a gentle montage of the two, and for a moment, you believe the scene may be about them. This is the stuff of sapphic wet dreams– they braid each other’s hair, pick flowers, and roam the countryside. It’s delightfully feminine and gorgeous, with surprisingly gorgeous costumes.

As we exit the montage, we find that Katherine has finally made her way to Ashford Manor! This is a surprise to Beatrice, as the delay was weighing on her heavily. We find out that Katherine is actually now married, but still holds space in her heart for Beatrice and what they shared together. The story begins to unfold into sexual exploration, with new guests introduced into the series. Katherine’s Husband, and an unmarried man they’ve brought along with them on their travels.

The Experience – Ashford Manor Part 1

Part 1 of Ashford Manor evokes many feelings throughout the production. I typically review very hardcore porn, but specifically wanted to focus on more erotic, cinematic productions with artistic value for this blog. The focus is femme-friendly content with good stories, from ethical companies.

I am pleased to share that this scene is exactly what I could have hoped for. Moreover, I actually love both Nicole Kitt and Jasmine Teaa from other productions. These choices in particular seemed to embrace the role. They even did a Reddit AMA about it, that I loved reading, and they clearly loved being participants in.

It is clear that these are performers that love what they do. I am familiar with everyone’s work in other avenues and found myself delighted by their performances. It’s also pleasing to see Dillon Diaz, as a part of the production. Dillon is one of my favorite gay talents!

This is erotica that women can imagine themselves in, to indulge in sensual fantasies further painted by wildflowers, gardens, and a taste of love in history. In this film we’re treated to beautiful visuals, detailed costuming, and sensual sex! This production is beautifully catered to feminist ideals and sapphic tendencies, as the story paints a picture of a reticent lesbian romance. 

When it came down to the actual sex portions of the film, I found the scenes to be titillating and artfully performed. The sensual beginning felt authentic, as the performers moved to undress each other. Jasmine Teaa and Nolina Nyx melt into each other. In the sex scene, Beatrice (Teaa) makes her way to Katherine’s (Nyx) room, so they can rekindle the love they felt, in the past. 

Katherine begins by kissing Beatrice’s body, gingerly undressing her. She lifts Beatrice’s legs and hips up to meet her face, asking if she’s okay. Beatrice then nods, delicately, signaling to Katherine that she’s consenting to her touch.

They’re au naturel!

The pair is pleased to feel each other once again. Beatrice’s skirt is lifted up, as Katherine makes her way to her au naturel (this is a Period Piece, after all) kitty, luxuriating in her taste once more. Immediately, I felt the pulse of my loins wanting a bit more pleasure! 

There’s a lot to see as the gorgeous pair slips their clothes off, piece by piece. Both of their bodies glow in the delicate lighting, which seems to be by candlelight. They both have beautiful, soft bodies and some extra hair down there, which is pleasing to see. 

Every time they told each other how good it felt, I found myself more and more aroused, desiring their scrumptious visuals of nipple play. The details of their thigh kisses and more obvious affection made the sex seem all the more real. It felt interrupted, as if two lovers were truly playing together, progressing naturally. 

I love that Katherine is tall, and paid with such a petite girl. They build each other up to many orgasms, not accounting for disturbing anyone else in the manor. They finish breathlessly, embracing each other while lit by candlelight, on a Victorian couch. Stockings and all!

TL;DR

Ashford Manor – Part 1 is a unique production that I am looking forward to seeing more of, in this venture. The actual sexual action in this scene felt continuous and progressive. Seeing the performers chat and smile throughout their scene certainly added to its overall appeal, building anticipation throughout the sex scene. 

This was the first time I have ever watched a pornographic period piece, and I thoroughly enjoyed the film. They clearly made an attempt to stay true to the timeframe as possible, without toys or glam. This film will get the job done, and will even include aftercare. *wink*
