"The Rules of the Game" by David L (dhl@elektra.sysun.com). Ria and Tom have
agreed to remain friends rather than lovers. If they became lovers, they
reason, then they would stop being friends. Everybody (including Billy
Crystal) knows that. They used to have recreational sex, but they have vowed
never to do that again. In fact, they vow never to do that again every time
they have recreational sex together.

Anyway, they decide to hump one more time and then to re-vow; and so they go
off on a little odyssey to accumulate the props they will need for their
escapade.

The scene in the porn video store rivals the condom scene from "Summer of 42."
They go to great effort to keep the clerk from knowing what they are planning
to do, but he obviously knows all along. The only flaw in this sequence is
that the clerk comes into the back room to check on them. In real life, he
would simply watch them on the ubiquitous security camera.

The hottest sex scene occurs while they are watching the porn video. As you
may know, the actors and actresses in porn flicks sometimes lack both acting
ability and interest in their activity. However, in this case the actresses
come alive during the compulsory lesbian scene, and so do Ria and Tom.

The story is a wonderful combination of awkwardness, humor, and spontaneity.
It's a very sexy story.
