Den of Dominance (1983)

Phil Prince and Avon Productions strike again in a surprisingly boring little bondage and discipline short. A guy walks into a bar that doesn't serve hard liquor- only beer and public sex. He hooks up with one woman, while another couple have sex on the actual bar in an inter-edited sex scene that runs a third of the film's running time and will have you checking your watch. The two couples make their way to another part of the bar where another couple wearing some dog leashes and small link chains are using a wide riding crop in order to excite themselves. After this show, the two couples have sex again. The end.

The women, especially the woman already at the bar, look bored. Really bored. The editing, both film and sound, is atrocious. During the sex scenes, watch for articles of clothing that disappear and then reappear in a different shot. The dialogue during the sex scenes doesn't match what we are actually watching. I realize Prince liked to jump right into the action with these short films of his, this one runs about thirty-eight minutes, but he didn't want to yell "cut" whenever someone looks right into the camera? The "bar" setting looks like someone's basement wet bar, and the soundtrack consists of a heartbeat sound effect during the sex scene that might have you making sure your own cardiac arrest isn't imminent.

"Den of Dominance" is deemed a dang disappointment to digest.
