"Women are seated with a book at a table, filmed in austere black and white against a black background. They have chosen what to read and how to dress. When the camera begins recording, they introduce themselves, and begin reading. Under the table, outside of the subject's control, an unseen assistant distracts them with a vibrator. The subjects stop reading when they're too distracted or fatigued to continue, then orgasm, at which point they restate their name, and what they've just read. The pieces vary in length based on the response time of the subjects."
I find this video series very interesting. It succeeds on several levels, imo. The first and most obvious is that, as a guy, it is arousing in sight but more-so in sound. Making the target audience aroused is how you get people (particularly men & even women) to watch them fully.
Beyond that though, the ladies are reading intellectual material. At the start of the video, all of the ladies presented are articulate and capable readers. They are being portrayed as intellectuals who happen to work in an unorthodox industry of sex. It all gives the general impression that it is possible to be well-read and intelligent while also enjoying sex. Part fantasy/part reality, I don't even care now, I love this shit!
