As an AW member for nearly 8 years I well remember when this glorious video appeared (April 2006). As I recall, Vanessa and Christiana had been wanting each other for weeks before the AW HQ staff were able to schedule the shoot; and the girls' genuine desire, as well as the tenderness, passion and joy perceptively noted by piusDEStgt, communicates itself with an impact that is no less powerful for being relatively gentle.
@flaifil: the answer to your question "why not the whole scene in one episode?" (which is in itself not unreasonable) has to do with the date of its appearance on AW. Nowadays an AW scene of that length would be presented in one piece, and not broken up into shorter episodes. Way back then, however, AW was still catering to many customers who did not have broadband, and for whom downloading the full scene in one go would have been inordinately time-consuming (I was still on dialup at that time, and I painfully remember how long downloading an AW clip could take!); so scenes were broken up into pieces that were reasonably downloadable on dialup. Also, as I recall, the company did not at that time have the resources/capacity to create separate broadband- and dialup-friendly versions of their shoots as well as putting up new shoots as frequently as members expected. It was an either-or situation at that time; switching to solely broadband-downloadable full-length videos was not an option at that time (though of course it happened later, when broadband use was more common among AW members); back in early- to mid-2006 it would have meant losing a lot of loyal AW members.
This is an Abby Winters re- re- re-post. First you gave gave us no. 4 and 5 and now you gave us no. 1. Thanx, but why not the whole scene in one episode. Appreciate your effort. Happy New Year.
