HotMovies.com is one of the largest VOD (video-on-demand) adult content providers in the world. While the site offers a variety of over 150,000 titles to its millions of visitors, year after year Girlfriends Films is named the Most Downloaded Studio on the site.

James Cybert, Director of Business Development for HotMovies.com, says “At HotMovies, we are thrilled with the close relationship we have with Girlfriends Films, which has led to the exclusive releases of the first two Poor Little Shyla movies on our site. These movies definitely explore some edgy territory, but always with Girlfriends’ trademark passion and elegance. Like the first installment – which saw unprecedented success on HotMovies – we expect Poor Little Shyla 2 to captivate and titillate a large and diverse audience. It’s great to see after all this time our relationship with Girlfriends continues to evolve. HotMovies is truly proud to be a part of their growth and success.”

Girlfriends Films Vice President Moose states, “Poor Little Shyla 1 exceeded our wildest expectations last year, becoming the most viewed title on HotMovies.com. After witnessing its massive success, we knew instantly we wanted to give HotMovies.com exclusive rights to the sequel’s VOD release as well.”

“Changing content delivery methods, along with our fantastic relationship with HotMovies.com, supports the release of a title exclusively on VOD,” continues Moose. “The sequel is fantastic, and I know it will meet an even better consumer response in the new year.”

In Poor Little Shyla, Shyla Jennings wants desperately to be like other schoolgirls her age—dating, gossiping, going to the mall and experimenting with her budding sexuality. Shyla is not like other girls though. Her confinement to leg braces and crutches make her the constant target of teasing.

Volume 2 introduces Shyla to an array of new partners who are able to look past the disability at Shyla’s beauty. Shyla bonds with Heather, a young girl paralyzed after a horrible car accident. She also develops a crush on her mature afternoon caregiver, Stephanie, who gives her daily baths. There’s also her friend Lily, who masturbates daily to the thought of Shyla. Even though Shyla is different than other girls her age, her life is still filled with the same drama and heartache all those on the cusp of womanhood are faced with.

Poor Little Shyla: Volume 2 features 5 hot and kinky sex scenes, 3 of which include Shyla Jennings. The movie also stars Heather Starlet, Julia Ann, Lily Carter, Sensi Pearl, Syren De Mer, and Georgia Jones.

Half a year after its record-breaking debut on HotMovies.com, Poor Little Shyla: Volume 1 received a DVD release from Girlfriends Films.

Scene 1: Rozen Debowe and Delores Haze – Tourist

The two ladies are sleeping as the phone rings for their wakeup call. Delores answers the phone and then rolls over and after a few words the two of them start to kiss. After a few minutes of making out, they start stripping some clothes off and Delores starts in on some foreplay but licking sucking on Rozen’s breasts. After some more kissing, they bring out some lube and plastic gloves as Rozen takes control and starts to rub Delores through her panties at first and then fingers her when they are taken off. All this happens as the intermittingly kiss or commence with more foreplay. After Delores has had her fun, it is now Rozen’s turn as Delores dons the gloves and proceeds to finger her slowly and deliberately. They kiss and snuggle to finish off the scene. Even though I don’t really know anything about the two ladies in this scene, I found this very enjoyable. I particularly love the playful banter that was shared throughout the scene.

Scene 2: Ela Darling and Papi Coxxx- Bachelorette

Papi picks up the wakeup call and then almost immediately starts making out with Ela, who is already topless. Things quickly escalate as Ela’s panties come off and Papi goes to town with her tongue in her pussy. Ela then get a chance to give some pleasure as she gets some gloves on and starts to finger her while they kiss. Papi does the same to Ela before climbing on top for some clit to clit stimulation. Ela goes down on Papi and then they both get some gloves on for mutual masturbation. After this is done, Ela climbs on top of Papi for some more tribbing. Ela gets on her knees for some doggie fingering from Papi before rolling over on her back so that Papi can finish getting her off while in missionary. The scene finishes with some more tribbing, kissing and chatter with the ladies. I’ll be honest here. This scene just didn’t work for me at all. The sex is pretty hot but Papi just doesn’t turn me on.

Scene 3: Calico Lane and Nikki Hearts – Adultery

After the wakeup call, Nikki rolls over and reminds Calico that she has a flight to catch as they start to kiss. As they kiss the clothes start coming and then Nikki starts to go down on Calico. This doesn’t last long though as her tongue is replaced with fingers. After a couple minutes of this, Calico flips the tables and gets on top as she grinds on Nikki a little before slinking down to lick Nikki’s pussy. Again, this doesn’t last long as Nikki goes back to using her fingers. They then finish up with a few short kisses and the scene is over. My biggest problem here is the length. The other scenes are at closer to 30 minutes and this one is only 15. Calico and Nikki had some pretty good chemistry and I would have loved to have seen more.

Scene 4: Ela Darling and AnnaBelle Lee – Newlyweds

AnnaBelle and Ela start off the scene wearing eye masks that say “Mrs.” and after the wakeup call they start to snuggle and kiss a little. Ela ends up taking her mask off first and AnnaBelle keeps her on as Ela works her way down her body. Ela eventually works her way down to AnnaBelle’s pussy and starts to lick and finger her while she keeps the mask on. When Ela is done, she crawls up her body and starts to kiss her again and eventually slides her mask off before letting her take over. After a little foreplay, AnnaBelle makes her way down Ela’s body and starts to flick her tongue over her pussy. AnnaBelle climbs on top next for some tribbing, first with her on top in a missionary positions and then in a scissoring position. The rest of the scene is then the ladies kissing and nibbling on each other. This is my favorite scene on this disc, hands down. AnnaBelle and Ela are good friends in real life and their chemistry is smoking in this scene. Like the rest of the scenes, it felt like you were watching two people making love instead of just fucking.

Extras:

There aren’t a lot of extras but what we do have is pretty cool. You get trailers and promos that are mostly from Girlfriends Films, their distributor. The BTS is nice too though. You get a BTS from each scene as well a segment with Jincey Lumpkin, the director.

Final Thoughts and Rating:

Right off the bat, I loved the concept here: setting up four scenes of “morning sex” with a couple, waking up in a hotel room. Now I will say that the way it was shot may frustrate some people because it is a bit restrictive, not as much as their Taxi series but still a bit claustrophobic. Personally I really liked it though. The other thing that I thought was interesting was that other than Ela and AnnaBelle, I really didn’t know any of the other performers. I had seen a couple of them before but it was maybe one other time. Overall, this is a good example of how porn can in fact be art and I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
