Pornoexpertin Manuela Kay zeigt Ausschnitte aus lesbischen Porno-Videos aus dem Home-Entertainment-Bereich und plaudert darüber, wie man solche produziert und genüsslich anschaut. Anhand vieler Filmausschnitte aus europäischen und nordamerikanischen Pornos wird gezeigt, worauf es ankommt: Authentizität, Schauspielkunst, Humor und nicht zuletzt den Scharfmach-Faktor. Um als geneigtes Publikum dabei zu sein, braucht man keine persönlichen Erfahrungen in der Porno-Industrie zu haben. Es reicht, wenn man die Filme genießen kann, ohne dabei zu erröten. Alle Fragen dürfen gestellt werden!
