Adult stars Jessica Ryan and Will Pounder proudly announce special a Valentine’s Day release directed by  Anna Lee for women-led erotica brand, afterglow. Arousal explores the passionate and complex journey of a couple’s love in a committed relationship.

The racy and romantic project is as much an acting piece for its charismatic leads as it is an adult movie, with Ryan and Pounder working to keep things spicy as they navigate the ups and downs of intimacy in a LTR while working from home.

“Will and Jessica brought not only amazing chemistry for the sex scenes but also emotional depth to the plot and storyline of this cinematic and romantic film,” Lilly Sparks, afterglow Founder & CEO, said in a statement..

Ryan added, “Shooting Arousal was an unforgettable journey in my career, as Anna Lee had coached me through an emotional script, something that I don’t normally get to indulge in on an adult film set. It’s been years since I have had to properly act out ‘upset’ and shed tears, or given the space to emote that dynamic.”

“Also, co-starring with Will Pounder is always a good day on set, but especially this one as I couldn’t have asked for a better male partner in this storyline.”

Pounder was equally impressed with his shoot experience, and overjoyed with Ryan’s casting. “I had been anxiously waiting for Arousal to be released because Jessica is so gorgeous and really a terrific person, but also it’s so much easier to be ‘authentically convincing’ and not ‘false’ in your acting when the person whom you’re working with has Jessica’s chops and dedication.”

“I think Arousal will resonate with audiences on multiple levels, and I feel very fortunate that Anna cast me with Jessica.”

Arousal is a satisfying Valentine’s Day treat for couples and singles alike. View the trailer here and prepare to fall in love with love all over again!
