S&M Sally

Michelle EHLEN 2015 USA Fiction color 80min English Blu-ray
When Jamie finds out her girlfriend Jill has spent time exploring BDSM, her insecurities about falling behind in the bedroom push her to propose that they start going to underground clubs. Jamie decides to use the pseudonym Sally so she can stay anonymous but still look like she´s using her real name, which apparently she thinks makes her look cool. Identifying as the butch one in a traditional butch/ femme couple, "Sally" assumes she will take the dominant role in their escapades, with Jill as her submissive, but Jill has ideas of her own. Meanwhile, David and Lola compete to see who's cool enough to go through with a threesome. S&M Sally details the unexpected journey that happens when your insecurities push you outside of your comfort zone, leading you down a path for which there is no going back.
