XConfessions Vol. 34 is a continuation of Erika Lust’s flagship anthology series, which is predicated on the concept of turning anonymous user-submitted fantasies into cinematic shorts. Released in 2023, this volume maintains the production house’s established ethos: bridging the gap between mainstream pornography and independent cinema. The film emphasizes high production values, natural aesthetics, diverse body types, and a female-gaze perspective. Unlike the 2022 volume (which was shot predominantly during the lockdown era with a specific focus on intimacy in isolation), Vol. 34 returns to a broader spectrum of social interactions and diverse settings, reflecting a post-pandemic "return to the world."

This scene flips the script entirely. Gone are the aggressive archetypes. Instead, Vol. 34 offers a slow-burn, natural light scene involving a vintage record player and a lot of eye contact. It is tender, messy, and genuinely funny in parts. 34 leans heavily into two contrasting poles of

Closing the volume, we return to Lust’s wheelhouse: public semi-exhibitionism. A solo traveler (non-binary performer Rae Riot) on a sleeper train in Europe connects with a stranger ( Owen Gray ) in the dining car.

The twist? The actual sex happens off-camera. Instead, we see hands under tables, the fogging of a train window, and the muffled sounds leaking from the sleeper cabin door. Lust shoots the aftermath—the morning light on tangled sheets, the exchange of emails, the goodbye on a rainy platform. It is melancholy, erotic, and deeply realistic.
