Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide To Advanced Anal Sex review summaries:
fu_q's
"Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide to Advanced Anal Sex" is a good production from Vivid and Tristan Taormino that, as its title implies, provides a good deal of information about the practice of anal stimulation. The disc kicks off with about 20 minutes of informational material, and a variety of topics are covered. There's info on the anatomy / science of anal play, preparing for it, pointers on what to do, info regarding the male prostate and the female G-spot, material on various positions, and coverage of the topic as it pertains to both men and women (as givers and receivers, alike). After this, there's a transition to four demonstrations involving adult stars, each with its own unique characteristics and flavor. Sex-wise, the demos are typically fairly hot, though a couple of them don't end in a male climax, so it's a bit of a let-down in that regard. All in all, this one is informative, and the production achieves its educational goals well. [read the full review]

“Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind” is a good production from Vivid and Tristan Taormino that features Adrianna Nicole in five scenes that are meant to be on the rougher side. Typically, there’s interview material before, after, and even—at times—during the scenes, and this largely serves as a means of setting up the action and getting the participants’ thoughts on the festivities.

Indeed, the viewer gets what he / she expects here and that is instruction on the art of fellatio—which, of course, has nothing to do with the paintings of an ancient Roman-era artist, but, instead, with the far more entertaining art of women putting penises in their mouths and working them over in various tawdry ways.

Midori's Expert Guide To Sensual Bondage review summaries:
fu_q's
"Midori's Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage" is an educational video put out by Vivid Ed that is somewhat rare in terms of DVD releases, as it features actual sex and bondage coupled together. Couched in an instructive style, this disc features sex expert, Midori, as the host and involves three different segments. The first portion of the production is an informational one in which Midori discusses various aspects of bondage-play and also has Adrianna Nicole and Mark Davis there to act out demonstrations of the techniques and equipment. After Midori exits the picture, we get bondage-drenched sex scenes between Adrianna and Mark, as well as between Danny Wylde and Madison Young. In all, this is a very good product that accomplishes its purpose and more. Things are presented in an adult manner, and it's clear that the acts are consensual and for the purpose of edifying the viewer. I would recommend this title to those with an interest in bondage or viewing a steamy bondage/sex mix. [read the full review]

Five scenes directed by Tristan Taormino,proclaimed as America's Top Sex Guru, although I admit I never heard of her. Scenes start out with the women and men being interviewed separately and commenting on their desire for sex on the rough side, followed by the woman's fantasy scene coming to the screen. I've seen rougher, I've seen tamer. The scene with Satine is the best. [read the full review]

If you're even the least bit curious about male anal play, or have a partner who is, make sure you pick this one up. Tristan Taormino does a great job discussing the topic, and is joined by three couples who do every bit as good of a job demonstrating it. The action is all well captured with nicely done technical aspects, and the extras show plenty of efforts right down to including the demonstration scenes on their own so that you can get in the mood watching them without worrying about the educational part. This is a very well done instructional release that I can't help but recommend. [read the full review]

"Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide to Anal Pleasure for Men" is an informative production by Tristan Taormino and Vivid-Ed that takes a serious look into an often ignored form of male pleasure--that involving his prostate and related nearby organs or, in layman's terms, his ass. The disc starts out with a tutorial on the subject of male anal stimulation and goes from the anatomy itself through the actual processes involved. Tristan Taormino is the host of this portion of the film. Following this are three demonstration scenes that occasionally have voice-over instructions as they play. They feature Penny Flame with Devin, Annie Cruz with Nomad, and Jandi Lin with Christian. The full spectrum of male anal pleasure is covered in these scenes, and a number of extra tutorials help round out the educational experience. If you are interested in learning about this type of activity, you should pick this one up. [read the full review]

If you are looking to learn how to give hand-jobs to either men or women (or to just get off while viewing some), then go no further than "Penny Flames Expert Guide to Hand Jobs for Men & Women". Penny Flame is an expert on the subject, and she uses both a seminar format and voice-overs during actual sample scenes to impart her knowledge. The seminar portion of the disc is informative, though not too steamy, while the three actual scenes that follow are scorching. These scenes include Amber Rayne, Alexis Texas, and Penny herself, while the seminar includes Penny and Harmony. [read the full review]

Chemistry 4: The Orgy Edition review summaries:
Matt47's
I really love the experience of watching any of the volumes in Tristan Taormino's "Chemistry" series, I have to fully admit. In my opinion, she takes the established gonzo genre, which is my preferred genre, and fully incorporates what would normally be behind-the-scenes elements into a wonderfully cohesive and endearing whole. And the "BTS" elements really go above and beyond what we normally see in those DVD features, which often includes some light Q&A and following the girls & guys as they get ready in hair and make-up, the photo setups and generally lounging around. What I love about "Chemistry" is the extended amount of time the performers are allowed to relax in one environment, surrounded by one group of people for the duration and what we as viewers can watch and enjoy is the genuine sense of comfort and ease displayed, whether at rest or at play.

There are three nicely done demonstrations with three different couples, and they all attack the subject a little differently. The technical aspects are a bit soft and barley make it past the average mark, but there's also some very nice effort put into the extras.

Who Should Watch It : Fans of gonzo porn with chemistry and reality TV Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting plenty of nastier sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very nicely done. The audio is clear and well balanced, but there are a few very minor background noises, just like in reality. The video is very nicely presented in anamorphic widescreen. [read the full review]

Overview Tristan Taormino, best known for her ' better living through anal enlightenment' books/columns, is back with her second porn release of 2006 . Like her previous directed effort, ' House of Ass', Tristan's approach is that of a group gathered, reality-milieu, sex as it/when it happens documentary vibe. This laid-back style gives the peformers and the proceedings a more naturalistic feel...less scripted and shackled in their actions. Vast amounts of couch/on-the-spot interviews ( ' confessionals')with the performers take place throughout, and even, during sex . And while I wouldn't say the sex here is incidental, there IS a great amount of time/energy focused on 'probing' ( Kurt's appropo term) the psyche of, and the likes/dislikes, strengths/weaknesses of these porn participants. For example, one will learn that Kurt Lockwood (rightly) feels that being a porn actor is probably the ' 3rd best in the world type of a career' a person could have, beat out maybe by having a filthy rich Bill Gates/Trump type occupation. Marie Luv discusses her avoidance of ON-screen g/g a [read the full review]

House of Ass (Adam & Eve) review summaries:
picman's
Prologue When this title was announced, I had an immediate interest in it. I don't think it's a groundbreaking concept, as I believe that Shane's World, Sex Across America, Misty Cam, and even Nacho Vidal's gathering of stars before shoots all fall into the same vein. It can also be seen as an episode of Real World done without censors. Still, it's a good idea, and could bear the fruit of a good gonzo. These people are all pornstars, and as such, know that they're expected to have sex, so I don't think there's going to be too much suspense about "will they or won't they". The cast here is filled with women I don't know much about, with the exception of Keeani Lei. The goofy Hawaiian could be a comic wild card here and prove to be a lot of fun in this casual environment. I've heard a lot about Joanna Angel and am anxious to see her in action. Saana is a hot Finn, but not featured prominently on the cover. [read the full review]

The Circumstances A couple of years ago Tristan Taormino did a couple of anal sex instruction videos together with John Stagliano; one thing that stood out in them was how good Tristan was at coaching people, making them relaxed and playful with the result that the sex scenes in these videos were surprisingly good. Now shes back and the premise is simple: put a bunch of porn stars together in a house for a few days and see what happens. Quite a lot, as it turns out. Two of them, the real-life couple Justin and Jezebelle, are having problems in their relationship and leaves prematurely, possibly breaking up. Talon and Saana are brought in as reinforcements, but only arrive in time for the final scene. In the meantime, the others have been chatting about sex and, above all, having it. The Sex There are five main sex scenes. One gets the feeling that there was more sex going on, but these five are still more than enough. The first one is between Joanna Angel and Scott Nails in the bathroom. [read the full review]
