Lust In The Cage
Lust is an intense desire for something. Lust can take any form such as the lust for sexuality (see libido), money, or power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food (see gluttony) as distinct from the need for food or lust for redolence, when one is lusting for a particular smell that brings back memories. It is similar to but distinguished from passion, in that properly ordered passion propels individuals to achieve benevolent goals whilst lust does not. In religion Religions tend to draw a distinction between passion and lust by further categorizing lust as an immoral desire and passion as morally accepted. Lust is defined as immoral because its object or action of affection is improperly ordered according to natural law and/or the appetite for the particular object (eg sexual desire) is governing the person's will and intellect rather than the will and intellect governing the appetite for that object. Whereas passion, regardless of its strength, is maintained ...

Mezzo Forte
is a 2000 original video animation (OVA) directed by Yasuomi Umetsu. In the United States these OVAs were edited into an anime movie that was released on DVD in the same year. The OVA, which concerns a young woman, Mikura Suzuki, and her mercenary business, the Danger Service Agency (D.S.A.), is the spiritual sequel to Umetsu's ''Kite'', as both feature the continuing elements of a highly trained female protagonist, dark comedic tone, extremely violent and slickly directed over-the-top action sequences, as well as the graphic sex scenes, which can be found only in the uncut version. ''Mezzo Forte'' takes place sometime after the events of ''Kite''.

Words Worth
is a Japanese adult role-playing video game originally released for NEC PC-98 computer systems, and remade for Microsoft Windows. The game's story is linear, with only one story decision near the end, leading to one of five different endings. A five-part animated erotic direct-to-video series was adapted from the game's story. It also has a side story series, (known as ''Words Worth Outer Stories'' in the English release). The anime has the same general story, but the anime cuts out several characters and changes the plot mostly to create more sex scenes. The English dub is notable for featuring real life porn actresses Jenna Jameson and Nikki Dial. The rest of the English cast remained uncredited. Gameplay The gameplay of ''Words Worth'' is similar to other fantasy games of the era such as '' The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall'' but with a tongue and cheek sexual undertone. It is a remake of the 1993 game of the same name and while the plot is near identical, the graphi ...
