We can only dream of our first dates going as good as Siri and Kenna’s. You can tell they are aching to explore each other’s bodies as they indulge in sensual kisses and take things to the next level with some strap-on action and amazing cunnilingus skill. You’re not going to want to miss out on Kenna James and Siri Dahl’s First Date. 

What you can learn:

  • Sex can be fun and funny!
  • Not all sex adheres to a dom/sub dynamic 
  • There is no “script” for lesbian sex 

Here are some themes that may have noticed:

  • Playful and fun tones 
  • Strap-on penetration
  • Femme4Femme dynamic

Playful tones 

One standout takeaway from the film is that above all else, Kenna and Siri are just having a great time. Throughout the film, they constantly giggle and smile at each other. The environment is extremely playful and unserious in the best way. A primary component of this film is the dirty talk, which is wrapped up in affirmations, laughter, and reassurance. When initially kissing Siri says, “you taste so good, like cherries”  and when sucking Kenna’s breasts exclaims “I love watching you go cross-eyed.” You can tell this is a film made by and for women – it’s realistic, fun, and flirty. 

Siri Dahl’s natural charm and infectious laughter is a unique feature of her films that make all of her scenes more relatable. Most erotic films are super serious – the performers never make a mistake, have an awkward moment, or slip up. But Siri understands that in real life, sex is rarely ever that way. When you’re both naked in bed (especially on a first date), sometimes you can’t help but giggle at how awkward, exciting, hot, and silly it all is at once. 

Strap-on penetration

After Kenna goes down on Siri and has her gasping for air, Siri grabs her strap-on to fuck Kenna. You can tell Siri is experienced by the way she thrusts into Kenna from behind and lets Kenna ride on top of her until she cums. The whole thing is super hot – but something that stood out to us in particular was the subtle details of Siri showing us how to use the strap on. In mainstream porn, you probably would have just seen a sharp cut to Siri fucking Kenna. However, Siri makes sure to show us how she puts it on and the importance of applying lots of lube. While some may disregard these moments, it’s a small detail that makes the film so much more realistic.

Strap-ons are an integral part of the lesbian community – you often hear queer women talking about being “strapped up.” Straps can come in all different sizes and forms – there are femme straps, masc straps, straps that go internally, straps that come with a vibrator inside, and more! While straps are typically associated with sapphic intimacy, the great thing about them is that they are truly genderless. Straps can also be used for pegging anally or double penetration. Maybe it’s time to ask yourself: what can a strap do for me? 

Femme4Femme dynamic

You may have noticed that both Siri and Kenna are very feminine. They are both wearing super cute lingerie, have on stunning makeup, and overall possess very divine feminine energies. You may have heard of labels like femme, butch, masc, and stud to describe various expressions of identities within the lesbian community. In this film, Siri and Kenna would be considered “Femme4Femme” – meaning both partners present as more traditionally feminine. The fact that Siri, herself a femme, created and starred in a super hot Femme4Femme video is integral to queer self-representation in the porn industry. 

Portraying a Femme4Femme dynamic in an erotic film not only validates these types of relationships, but also shows that lesbian relationships do not have to look a certain way in order to be considered queer. A common homophobic remark regarding lesbian relationships is, “which one is the ‘man,’ and which one is the ‘woman’?” This implies that lesbian relationships are recreating the structure of a heterosexual relationship, which is far from reality. Lesbian relationships can take countless different forms, including attraction between two femmes. Breaking down these gendered expectations can help reframe all relationships – do you feel pressured to act a certain way due to your gender identity? How do you truly want to express your gender?
