Note: This is the first installment in a long story about 5 couples that decide to make an adult film together and then have to deal with all of the issues that the project creates. There will be an accompanying story called "The Beach House" that is supposed to be the movie that these 5 couples create.
The different sections of this story won't make much sense on their own. It is recommended that the story be read in its entirety. It was decided to post it in pieces rather than as one massive work to make it easier to read.
The first installment gives background on the characters, how they decide to make the movie, and each couple's reaction to it.
Enjoy.
*****
Robert, John, Eric, Tom, and Mark had been friends since their freshman year in high school. They all came from well off families and had all gone to the same private high school in a very affluent suburb of Los Angeles. After high school the 5 friends all went to the same Southern California college where the five young men studied very different things. Robert studied accounting, John studied engineering, Eric studied film making, Tom studied business, and Mark studied law.
Despite their very different career plans the guys remained the best of friends in college and rented a large house so they could live together and hang out as much as possible. The guys had partied pretty hard during their first two years of college, but then as their classes got tougher and they got closer to real life they grew up and started looking for more real and lasting relationships.
The campus of their Southern California college was overflowing with beautiful women and it wasn't long into their 3rd year that each of them was dating the woman that would become their wife. Robert started seeing Amy who was studying business. John met Kelly who was studying to become a nurse. Eric met Julie who was studying marketing. Tom met Lisa who was studying journalism. Mark met Susan who was studying to become a teacher specializing on English, grammar, and literature.
None of the guys was bad looking, but they all freely admitted that they had done quite well for themselves when it came to how attractive their girlfriends...fiancΓ©s...and finally wives were. The guys had all been athletes in high school. Robert and Mark had been on their school's basketball team. They were the tallest of the 5 with both standing at 6'3". Robert had jet black hair, wore glasses, and was pretty thickset and muscular 225lbs. Mark was much thinner at 170lbs and had dirty blonde hair. Eric and Tom had been on the school's tennis team and had the fit bodies to match. Eric was 5'9" 175lbs with shaggy brown hair. Tom was 5'10" 180lbs with reddish brown hair. John had been the quarterback and captain of their school's football team. He'd put on every bit of the freshman 15 plus a few extra once he'd hit college and wasn't playing football anymore. He wasn't obese, but at 6'1" 225lbs he looked bigger even than Robert despite weighing the same amount. John's shoulder length brown hair was a long running rebellion against his military step-father who had constantly told him to cut his hair.
Most people would say that the guys were all either average or above average in the looks department, but nothing special; especially in Southern California with so many 'beautiful' people around. In contrast the girls were all gorgeous.
Amy was a 5'7" brunette with a great body, full lips, and stunning green eyes. When she and Robert had started dating she had relatively small breasts that she was very sensitive about, but Robert bought her breast implants as a wedding present so she had very nice D cups. Susan was the shortest of the group at 5'4" with naturally curly auburn hair, brown eyes, a great body, and nice, but not overly large breasts. She had no trouble keeping the attention of the teenaged boys in her English classes at the private high school she taught at. Lisa was the tallest of the girls at 5'10" with a slender body, very long legs, blue eyes, blonde hair, and natural C cup breasts that fit her body perfectly. Kelly stood 5'7" with dirty blonde hair and a very shapely and feminine body that was usually hidden under the scrubs that she wore at work. She wasn't fat, but she was filled out in all the right places; including her firm round ass and her large D cup breasts. Julie was 5'6" and very fit; she'd been on the volleyball team in high school. Her red hair had a natural curl to it and her C cup breasts were always on display in low cut tops.
While the guys had all grown up in Southern California most of the girls had come from other areas of the country. Lisa had grown up in the south. Susan was from a small fishing town in Maine. Amy had grown up in Seattle. Kelly had grown up in Northern California. Only Julie had grown up in Southern California like the guys.
Even though the 5 women had come from different backgrounds and only met because of the men that they were involved with they became fast friends and soon the 10 of them were all but inseparable just like the guys. When they had all finished their undergraduate work at the college and gotten married they moved to the same area of Southern California as they started their careers and started grad school.
Even with full time jobs, classes, and the other responsibilities of life conspiring to keep them apart the five couples would get together as often as they could; often having dinner together either at restaurants or at one of their houses. Starting in college when they were all first dating they had decided that one Saturday a month they would all get together and do something. They did all kinds of different things from going to the beach or a football game for their school or something more refined like going to an orchestra performance or a traveling production of a Broadway show.
No matter what they did at the start of the day their monthly get together would always end the same way. The five couples would get together either at the house that the guys shared in college or at one of their houses after they'd graduated and the 10 of them would watch a porno movie together.
Mark, Tom, Eric, John, and Robert had started watching porn together when they first started living together and they'd slowly introduced the girls to it once they knew that the relationships were serious. A few of the girls had been resistant to it at first, but they eventually accepted it and everyone really enjoyed it.
Over their time in college and several years since graduating they had watched a lot of different pornos from almost every genre from soft-core 'tit flicks' to hardcore bondage and abuse videos. Not everyone enjoyed all of the movies that they had watched, but they all enjoyed their time together and looked forward to watching a porno at the end of the one Saturday a month that they got together.
A number of years passed and those that were going to grad school finished. Everyone got well established in their careers and moved up from entry level positions to more important positions of power and influence. As they all crept closer to turning 30 they were starting to think about having children and raising families.
Even with all of the changes and advancements in their lives they continued to get together one Saturday each month, do something together, and then sit down as a group to watch a porno. Despite their long history of watching porn as a group there had never been anything even remotely sexual between members of the 5 different couples; they had all remained completely faithful to their own spouse.
One Saturday night in February of the year that most of them would be turning 30 they were all gathered at Eric and Julie's house after spending the afternoon at a basketball game in Los Angeles and had just started watching the porno selected for that night when something happened that would forever change their relationships and their lives.
Eric, the biggest porn junkie of the group, usually handled the selection of the porno that they would watch; even when they weren't meeting at his house. The movie that Eric had selected for them to watch that night was an amateur film where a bunch of people with a video camera had attempted to make a scripted porno instead of just making a sex tape.
The movie started off poorly with a combination of bad camera work, bad lighting, cheesy dialogue, and really bad acting. It got worse from there when the first sex scene in the film was awkward and unwatchable. It was clear that the people in the movie were in over their heads.
"Oh man; what a piece of shit." Mark said.
"This is awful. Where did you get this one Eric?" Susan asked.
Eric shrugged.
"It was recommended to me by a friend online. He said that it was really hot." Eric said.
Julie laughed and shook her head.
"Well either he has never seen porn before or he's an idiot. Either way, if I were you I would seriously consider ending the friendship...this is absolutely terrible. No real friend would recommend this piece of shit. Even if I was the one that made it I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Those people should be embarrassed." Julie said.
Tom laughed.
"Yeah...it's a lethal combination of bad writing, bad film making, bad acting and bad fucking. Shut it off." Tom said.
Eric picked up the remote and shut off the video.
"That's much better." Robert said.
Eric shook his head as he stood up to take the DVD out of the player.
"Come on guys it wasn't that bad for what it was; it was clearly an amateur video. Someone that's not in either the film business or the porn industry attempted to make a porno of their own...you can't expect high quality work from complete amateurs. Don't forget that we've seen some pretty bad professional stuff over the years too." Eric said.
Amy scoffed.
"Maybe we shouldn't expect professional quality work from amateurs, but I think that it's reasonable to expect more than what we saw in this piece of shit. I mean that was absolutely terrible. It's like they weren't even trying to make it look good." Amy said.
"No kidding. If it was supposed to be meant as a comedy where they were spoofing porn for the bad acting it would have been okay, but they were serious. The acting was terrible, I've seen better acting in a high school play and the sex that we saw before shutting it off was awkward and unwatchable. With as much porn as we've watched over the years; we could make a porno 100 times better than that easily." Lisa said.
Eric laughed and shook his head.
"Okay smartass; if you think it's that easy...if you think you can do so much better than these people did...prove it." Eric said.
"Prove what?" Lisa asked.
"If you really believe that we would be that much better at making a porno than they were, put your money where your mouth is and let's make one." Eric said.
Everyone was surprised by what Eric said. Some reacted positively to the idea, others reacted negatively.
