The gorgeous stars include Girlfriends Films contract performer India Summer, along with Samantha Ryan, Tanya Tate, Ryan Keely, Tweety Valentine, Kita Zen, Elizabeth Anne and Alyssa Reece. Blown away by previous volumes of the series, XCritic.com reviewer Apache Warrior writes, “Girlfriends Films’ most honored series…this studio has solidified its reputation of using many of the best female performers in the industry.

The main reason why ‘Women Seeking Women’ is regarded so fondly between the industry’s movers and shakers, as well as with their core audience is the studio’s effort to create some of the most sensual and romantic performances on film for this series in particular. Thus, ‘Women Seeking Women’ is a clever and appropriate title, especially for those of us who are romantics by nature.”

The illicit affairs and seductions are back in “Women Seeking Women 64”. In the first scene, Ryan Keely invites Samantha Ryan over for dinner to meet her family. Shocked by Samantha’s short dress and lack of panties, Ryan takes her to the bathroom to change. However, when Samantha’s clothes come off, the temptation proves too much for Ryan. Next, Alyssa Reece finds herself bored of babysitting and calls up India Summer for some distraction—the bent over a bed kind. The third scene features the young Tweety Valentine teaching Tanya Tate it is never to late to kiss a girl and like it. In the finale, teen Elizabeth Anne visits Kita Zen to borrow a bikini. Elizabeth’s shyness about changing in front of Kita has the more experienced Asian cutie showing Elizabeth a world of pleasure only a woman can give.

“The most accomplished continuing all-girl line in porn. Long scenes, deep kissing, slow sensual sex,” writes AVN Media president Paul Fishbein in regards to previous releases in the “Women Seeking Women” series. “You need to take your time to absorb all that goes in this.”

Girlfriends Films Vice President Moose says, “All the awards and praise the ‘Women Seeking Women’ series continues to earn is great, but we all feel that the real accomplishment is how the sixty-fourth volume shows just as much passion, beauty, romance and originality as the first volume. If anything, the series continues to better itself with each release.”

Filmed in high definition with Sony XDCAM cameras, “Women Seeking Women 64” is a visual treat. “Women Seeking Women 64” on DVD includes a XXX and glamour photo gallery, plus trailers to hit Girlfriends Films movies. The DVD is presented in 16:9 widescreen format.
