I enjoyed this film in so many ways it is hard for even me to believe. First, let's start out with the obvious: the sex scenes. There are plenty here, many of which seriously border on hard-core porn. But what makes these scenes work incredibly well is that these couples genuinely like one another. The sexual chemistry is amazing! There are coy glances with authentic smiles and passion abounds! I have no way of comparing the rated version with the one here (which I proudly own), but this particular version is scalding! But if that's all there was to recommend this film (yes, I called this a "film") then I would not have given it 5 stars. There is a good story to go along with the steamy scenes, one with elements of the well-known film "Risky Business" starring Tom Cruise. There is even an antique egg that gets damaged; not to mention a certain catch-phrase from the movie that I am not allowed to write here. All these things would surely be enough....but there's more! I was absolutely stunned by the clever editing techniques and professional direction from John Quinn. I will be going in search of more of his films very soon, his work is that good. Never in my life did I think I would give a soft-core porn film a 5-star rating. But here it is. The sexual encounters are hot, the acting is surprisingly solid, the direction and overall filmmaking is first-rate, and there is even a good and often humorous storyline. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. Outstanding!

This goes about as far as any cable movie I have ever seen (tied with Hotel Exotica). Some of the lesbian scenes clearly show some contact that you almost never see on cable, even on cinemax. I find Maria Ford to be really hot, in spite of the unnecessary boob job. Her whole body is incredibly toned and hard. For someone who has been around as long as her, she is amazing. Lots of good looking women having sex with men, and other women. If that is what you want, you should get this.
On the other hand, you could just wait for it to come around again on cinemax and tape it...

It isn't clear whether the cinemax version is the R-rated one on sale here (hard to believe, given the amount of frontal nudity and clear genital contact) or an unrated version, or director's cut.

a must watch for those who are starve of sex scenes.The women are great and beautiful.The movie has great taste, great bodies, kinky sex, lesbianism and finally boy meet girl ending in a terrific manner.

Although this movie is technically softcore, Maria's scenes border on hardcore. There is lot of contact between her and her fellow actors and actresses (if you catch my meaning). In fact, this is probably the most explicit softcore film you will find. Which gives me hope as to what Maria may have to do to top it.

With a title like "The Key To Sex" one might surmise, that this is some kind of sexual instruction guide. Well it's not, it's a fairly good soft porn movie. The key in the title is the key to movie producer, Alan's flashy Malibu home, which is kept hidden under a ceramic frog.. Alan, who has to go on a weeklong business trip, leaves the care of his home, in his personal assistant Simon's, hands, with instructions not to let anyone in. Unfortunately events work against Simon's good intentions and the home becomes week long house of copulation.

First, the office receptionist, Carrie (Jeannie Millar) a hot brunette, whom Simon (Scott Carson) has dreams about, asks if he's going to throw a party, leading Simon to improvise, so the spur of the moment, he invites his roommate Matt to come and bring a girl. Matt brings Ring, (Jacquelline Lovell) a stripper and the tone is set for an erotic evening.

The next night Simon's boss's philandering partner, Michael, (Christian Malmin) pulls rank on Simon and demands access to Alan's home for a rendezvous with Tina, (Monique Parent), then the next day Simon finds the key under the ceramic frog missing and the front door unlocked. When he enters he finds Alan's girlfriend Christy, (Maria Ford) out by the pool, engaged in a lesbian interlude.

Things continue on like this for awhile with Michael coming out as a snake, juggling mistress's with girlfriends and eventually, with Simon's help, being caught.

CONCLUSION

Personally, for an erogenous soft-core skin flick, I didn't find The Key to Sex to be overly stimulating, which considering the positive elements of the film is surprising.

The story, as a whole was one of the better ones I've seen for this genre, the ladies were comely, as well as shapely and the sets were relatively realistic. The direction, editing and cinematography were all good. The cast was well chosen and the acting, for a soft-core film was good to excellent. There was plenty of nudity and I believe eight or nine sex scenes, although all seemed less than real and not very passionate. More like they were going through the motions. Overall I give this film high marks but not quite 5 stars. For those who enjoy erotica, I recommend The Key to Sex with a 4.25 rating

If you like big fake breasts then you'll love thisunrated farse. There are also several full nuditylesbian scenes. The story is believable, the acting above par and especially Maria Ford whogives her best acting and erotic performance yet.Her bathroom scene where she literally rapes thisguy shows full frontal nudity plus reverse camel-toe (my personal favorite). All of the girlsare superb and I would highly recommend this movie.

Low level male office assistant is tasked with watching his rich boss's mansion while the boss is away on business. The mansion becomes the focal point for several sex scenes. The women (Maria Ford, Jeannie Millar, Jacqueline Lovell, and Monique Parent) are all very hot. Maria Ford and Monique Parent get the best scenes. Jeannie Millar is unfortunately underused, but her one scene is very good.

This one almost qualified for 5 stars, but just missed it because of a couple of problems. There are several times where it felt like something more explicit had been censored out. I just chalk it up to bad editing since so many other scenes are far too explicit for this to be an R rated version. Also, there is a lesbian scene involving Jacqueline Lovell and another girl that is completely ruined because we see the whole thing from the viewpoint of a handheld camcorder. To screw up a Jacqueline Lovell lesbian scene like that is unforgivable.

But overall you are still left with a lot of really hot sex scenes. This one is easy to recommend.

Yowza! I didn't expect much from "Key to Sex," to tell you the truth. I was hopeful that I'd see some halfway decent action, but that was it. And, well, yowza! This one's a fireball! I liked it almost immediately, thanks to the better than average script, three solid performances, and - yowza! - some red-hot scenes that just about melted my TV. Need I say more? Yep. To all those producers and directors out there who make this kind of film, "Key" is the high-water mark. If everybody tried to make theirs this good, I wouldn't be complaining nearly as much. Yeah, the movie has a pretty standard story, but at least some effort went into the telling, and the performances by Scott Carson, Maria Ford, and Monique Parent are really quite good. There are actual laughs in this movie's comic scenes, there is real heat generated in the love scenes (even a truncated girl-girl scene, which usually fail in soft-core, manages to work), and the romantic coupling at the end of the film is earned by the story, not just forced into the script. It's not a brilliant illumination of the male-female dynamic, but - yowza!!

Fans of Monique Parent and Jacqueline Lovell (count me in!) shouldn't miss this one. Both women shine, mainly because both are capable actresses as well as being gorgeous to look at, which means that they can (and do) acquit themselves well in the straight dramatic scenes as well as the sex scenes.

Speaking of which, there are two girl-girl scenes that are OK but could have been much better. The entire scene featuring Jacqueline Lovell is shown through the lens of a camcorder. This cheats the viewer, who gets a grainy, poor-resolution look at what would otherwise be a great scene with great-looking women. It's particularly infuriating when you've purchased the DVD and find yourself missing out on the great picture clarity that medium affords! The other girl-girl scene features Maria Ford, who has unfortunately chosen to enhance her previously-fine body with ludicrously large implants. The woman she is shown making love with is also hugely enhanced, and their grossly unnatural look is a big turnoff for some (certainly for me!).
