Jenny takes out her driver's license to prove she's over the age of eighteen and holds it up next to her face as Corey snaps a photo. Kelly does the same. Next, the two look into the video camera and recite a testimonial.

"I am not on drugs, I am not intoxicated, and I don't feel pressured to do this," Jenny says, going by a script that Corey provides. Kelly does the same.

At last it's time to get to work. And because there is no bed on the bare-bones budget set, the women will have to perform their sex scene on a raggedy couch.

"It's important to be comfortable, so maybe you guys can talk to each other, kiss, feel each other," Corey suggests.

Jenny and Kelly take the advice and engage in a hushed conversation. Then they start kissing. Both take to each other without any signs of awkwardness. It almost seems natural.

After a few minutes, Corey is ready.

"One of you needs to decide who's gonna be the lead, the one who kind of initiates and takes charge," Corey says.

The women look at each other and shrug.

"I can," Kelly says.

"There ya go. Let's do this," says Corey.

The two strip down to bra and panties and begin kissing and feeling each other up on the couch. It's straight to the point. There's no pizza-delivery scene in this film. Kelly unclasps Jenny's bra and starts licking her breasts.

Taking it all in from a corner of the room is Rory. Though he's just been rejected by the younger Jenny, he's anxious to begin his scene with Kelly.

"It's something I've always wanted to do. Bucket list, ya know?" he says of the chance to star in his first porno. But there's a problem. The shoot between Jenny and Kelly got off to a late start. Now Rory is running late for work.

"My boss just texted me asking where I'm at," he announces during a break in Jenny and Kelly's taping. "I'm gonna have to be out of here by 2:30, and that's cutting it. I didn't know this was gonna take so long."

It's already 1 p.m. and the girl-on-girl scene is nowhere near finished.

"I thought we had you until four?" Sam says.

Rory shrugs. "My boss is texting me, man," he says.

"All right, we'll get this done quick," Corey says.

The women are now having full-on, hardcore sex. Despite being rookies, both appear to be extremely comfortable performing in front of the lights, cameras and strangers. Corey hovers around them with his camera like a drone, swooping in and out to get different angles and extreme close-ups of nether regions. In the process he strains a muscle in the back of his thigh and stifles a scream, not wanting to ruin any good footage.

After about 40 minutes of shooting, Corey needs a break. He says he has a bad sinus infection and the hot lights aren't helping much.

"I'll be back in five," he says.

The girls sit back, relax and remain completely naked on the couch. "It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was," Jenny says. "I was nervous, especially coming up here. And then the people and the lights. But once we got going, all of that sort of just left my consciousness. It's just sex. It's a video, but people see naked bodies all the time. Who cares?"

Kelly agrees.

"I was nervous, too. But it went away," she says.

Corey comes back in. It's time to get back to work.

"OK, we're gonna have to wrap this up soon, so we need an orgasm scene," he tells the girls. "I know it's your first time and there's people here, but if you can bust a nut, then by all means, please do. If not, please fake it as best as you can. With guys, you can easily see it, obviously. That's not the case with girl-on-girl, so we need to illustrate it more."

It's here that Kelly has a confession to make: She's never had an orgasm.

"That's OK," Corey assures her. "We can just fake it. Kelly? Can you go down on Jenny, and let's finish this thing."

Kelly does as requested and Jenny gives a convincing orgasm crescendo, squeezing her breasts and moaning for the camera.

"Great! You both did a great job," Corey says after the cut.

"Really great. Awesome!" Sam adds with a few claps.

The two women have just successfully completed their first porno scene. For their work this afternoon they stand to earn between $50 and $100, that is, if Corey and Sam can sell the film to their distributor. But since today's film was shot solely on spec, Jenny and Kelly leave with little more than a promissory note for future payment. Regardless, Jenny is enthusiastic to shoot more scenes and sees experimenting with pornography as part of her personality.

"Sex has always been natural for me," she says. "I've always been comfortable with my sexuality. I'm the one who my friends always come to for sex advice."

She's also aware that others aren't as open-minded as she is when it comes to porn.

"I don't think it's completely possible to have a normal life and a porno life," she says. "I'm just gonna keep it low-key, do some films with these guys, and see how it goes."

Besides, she adds: "It's way more interesting than my retail job."
