Marilyn Chambers' Guide To... Masturbation review summaries:
jayo's
As an "instructional" it's pretty lightweight and too porn. As a porn it suffers from all the usual stuff: fakey looking performances and ear-grating music. If you want instruction, you'd be better off with a Betty Dodson video. If you want solo-girl action, you're better off with something from AbbyWinters. [read the full review]

How To Perform Cunnilingus (Oral Sex On Her) review summaries:
astroknight's
The Educational Sex Series continues with a focus on licking pussy with the help of Caren Caan, Monika Maple, Trinity Aikens, and Maxwell Schmart. Caren and Monika team up and work on each other giving tips before Maxwell demonstrates on Trinity. Each couple talks about pussy eating afterwards and things they liked about the demonstration to give the production a little more depth. The technical aspects are pretty average, and as usual with instructional releases there isn't much for extras. If you feel like you could use a little help when it comes to eating pussy, this is a decent release to check out. [read the full review]

Nina Hartley's Guide To Erotic Massage review summaries:
astroknight's
As usual with Nina Hartley's instructional releases, if you're at all interested in learning about the subject it's well worth picking up. Nina does a great job discussing the topic as well as demonstrating it, and has a very nice cast to help her out. The technical aspects are a bit hit or miss, but there's plenty of effort put into the extras. This is a very nicely done release. [read the full review]

DescriptionThis is an instructional dvd with two scenes of massage leading to sex. General Impression Jeez, I always want to like these Nina Hartley dvd's. But it doesn't work out. I took a lot of notes on this, gave it a couple of weeks, and watched it again. I even got a second opinion from someone else. The results were the same. It has its good points, but I still can't think who I'd recommend it to. Notes As a serious massage primer, I'd like to see more emphasis on some basics. For example, no mention is made of warming the oil in your hands rather than ever pouring it directly onto the body (although we see the oil always poured into the hands). We see legs and arms stroked in a direction away from the heart, without any commentary. We see Alec break contact with Marie's body while he reaches for more oil. [read the full review]

Nina Hartley's Guide to Erotic Massage Cast: Nina Hartley, Randy Spears, Marie Luv, and Alec Knight in sex roles, and Adrianna Nicole in a speaking role. Director: Ernest Greene Videographer: Ralph Parfait Production dates: 11/28/0511/30/05 (taping), 5/8/06 (DVD) Length: 108 min. Extras: A 30-min. behind-the-scenes featurette, a 15-min. interview with Nina Hartley, a 25-min. bonus scene from Carmen's Dirty Secrets, 11 min. of trailers (O: The Power of Submission, Tailgunners, Carmen & Austyn, Jane Blond DD7), and a 7-min. slide show. Audiovisual quality: The camerawork is professional and fluid, skillfully incorporating mirrors for a subtle multi-angle effect. The lighting in the first scene has a tungsteny golden hue. That's not necessarily a bad thingit just gives a cozy-homey feel. The location is essentially noiseless; dialog is easily heard and understood. A 15-minute piece of electronica backs Marie's striptease and massage. [read the full review]

The performers are visually identified one-by-one in the opening creditsa nice touch that shows some extra care. Most dialog is easy to hear and understand. Off-camera directions are also audible in a couple of places, which is my biggest criticism of the technical aspects of this production. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 64 min. Production Date: 8 / 31 / 2005 Director: John Village Cast: Lauren Phoenix, Talon, and a blonde The Short Story Initial Expectations: Hmmmmmmm. This one really has me curious. Im not sure if this is a serious instructional release or a comedy. Initial Reaction: Its a joke, and not the funny kind. Who Should Watch It : Extreme Lauren Phoenix fans and Lauren Phoenix herself Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for sexual instruction The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are a bit of a mixed bag. The audio is very well done. Its nicely balanced and clear, and I dont think I heard a single background noise. The video, however, lacks quite a bit. It all nicely lit and thankfully doesnt have any camera motion to interfere with it, but it varies from being a little too much on the soft side to looking like it was shot with beer goggles. Music: Theres some soft music through almost the entire release thats very nicely done. [read the full review]

Nina Hartley's Guide To G-Spot Sex Studio: Adam & Eve Category: Instructional Starring: Nina Hartley, Voodoo, Nicole Sheridan, Carmen Luvana, Melissa Lauren Quickest of the quick review. Who doesn't love Carmen Luvana?, And who doesn't love the G-spot?. Well Mrs. Nina hartley takes advantage of these two, to help her out in her instructional series. She will try to open some minds, ( and some legs), to discover the so many times mentioned spot, not the A or B neither C or D, E or F, but G, the G- spot, Melissa Lauren will take a day in school, with Nina, with strap on and all, (yes, you heard right 3SB), and then Nicole sheridan and guy will demonstrate how it is for a couple, oh! well, only vaginal style here. Carmen and the host Nina give us a farewell and I'm happy to know that someone is here to help us, in this so call life.... DVD Quality Audio and Video quality are better than most of A&E, BTS, gallery, web info and so on. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 75 min. (cover states 79 min.) Production Date: 10 / 5 / 2005 Director: Ernest Greene Cast: Nina Hartley, Melissa Lauren, Nicole Sheridan, Voodoo, and Carmen Luvana in a non-sex role The Short Story Initial Expectations: Ninas educational releases have been kind of hit or miss. Im not too sure what to expect here. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but more than a little forced at times. Who Should Watch It : Anybody having a lot of trouble finding the G-spot. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a very clinical look at finding the G-spot rather than a pornish educational release The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are the best Ive seen out of Ninas recent educational releases. The audio is nicely balanced, and there were only a couple minor background noises. The video is also pretty good. Its nicely lit and has very little grain to it. Theres also barely any camera motion. This is a pretty good looking and sounding release. [read the full review]

Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos curious about bondage but also very nervous about it Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting to learn about the darker side of bondage The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave a bit to be desired. The audio is clear and well balanced, but there were a many times during the demonstrations where you can hear Ernest Greene giving the cast instructions in the background. The video is a bit on the weak side. Its pretty well lit, but has a soft feel to it that left it looking slightly out of focus many times as well as feeling cheap. [read the full review]

The audio is very clear and very well balanced. The video is just as good, if not better. To start with, its presented in anamorphic widescreen, which gives it a very classy look. It has a hint of grain, but its almost like they were trying to approximate film and it never held back the release for me. Finally, theres some very nice attention paid to the lighting.

Im going into this one with a bit of hope. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but nothing too special. Who Should Watch It : Anybody really nervous about having a threesome or whos completely lost about where to start Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for information on threesomes involving double penetrations The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave a bit to be desired. The audio is okay through Ninas portions of the movie, but theres a hiss in the background the entire time. Also, during Violets scenes theres a lot of background noises, including the stars being given direction and responding to it verbally. [read the full review]

Nina Hartley's Guide To Threesomes #2 - Two Guys and A Girl Produced 01/05 Adam & Eve Pictures (www.adameve.com) 74 minutes Directed by Ernest Greene Starring: Nina Hartley, Violet Blue, Chris Cannon, Randy Spears, Julian, Evan Stone and Nicole Sheridan (Non Sex role). Instructional Evan Stone uses a condom with Violet They say "those who can't do, teach", but in Nina's case she does both very well. Her "Guide To" films have sold over half a million copies, so she's obviously doing something right. The film opens with Nina answering some questions, read by Nicole, from people who have written to her. There are then two sex scenes, followed by some brief closing thoughts. Nicole Sheridan is only here to help Nina and has no sex in the film. Personally it's not very likely I'm ever going to be involved in this type of threeway, if any threeway at all. But I'm a Nina Hartley fan and wanted to see her fuck. But to be honest it wasn't much of a turn on watching Nina having sex in a clinical type setting even though she does get fucked in the ass,.

Nina Hartley is one of the most genuine people you may ever come across. She tells it like it is, and she doesnt go out of her way to make her fans feel as if they are beneath her. And, at one point, she was turning out some very hot porn. Now, her taste have turned into the instructional phase of porn. Her dvds are not barn-burners, and raincoaters will want to pass these up because the sex in these releases are more to a lighter taste, but there is chemistry between the performers, and seeing Ninas ass bounce back and forth every time she takes a step may be worth the price of purchase to many of her fans. SCENE ONE has Nina with Nicole Sheridan, offering instructional help on the wide-ranging topic of threesomes, and Nina reading mail from fans on there thoughts and feelings of the act with two women, which men just love, and how this fantasy is most likely to happen.

Dearest Diary review summaries:
Tongue in Groove's
You could do a heck of a lot worse than renting/buying Dearest Diary to take home to wifey for a primer before a night of passion. This is good, hard-driving porn without the garbage that we see in much of todays smut. I cant believe any woman would be turned off by this flick. The girls basically range from very attractive to beautiful. There is only one short anal scene (Sharon Wild), while all six girls take some sort of facial. If your woman can handle that, shell enjoy this flick and youll get lucky. Brown-haired Cherokee leads off, and, while she may be the least attractive of all the girls (and she aint all that bad!), she certainly knows how to turn up the temperature with Alex Sanders. Redhead Pason is next, and she is a dead ringer for 90s star Brittany OConnell (thats a good thing!). She romps with Dave Pounder in a very hot scene. Brunette Temptation needs to put a little more passion in her work, but shes darn fine to look at as she wrestles with muscleman Lee Stone. Blond Trinity James shows some spunk and energy in her coupling with Chris Cannon. [read the full review]

Nina Hartleys Guide to Double Penetration February 5, 2005 Nina Hartley makes a damn good " Guide to..." movie. So I was really excited to see that she had made one about double penetration, something which is frequently seen in porn movies these days without revealing exactly how people actually get to that point. There are three scenes here, starting with Nina discussing many aspects of double penetration with her friend Kylie. The two of them are seen in sexy latex outfits going over lots of potential questions a viewer might have, being sure to cover Nina's well-known and consistent emphasis on honesty, open communication, and lack of embarrassment about sexual matters. They discuss sexual pleasure, health, and satisfaction in general, all things that are extra important in regards to a relatively extreme act such as double penetration. Nina emphasizes that women need to know themselves, what they like, and how their own pleasure and bodies work. [read the full review]

Nina Hartley's Guide To Spanking review summaries:
Violet Blue (SGPC)'s
Nina Hartley's Guide to Spanking 2004, 80 min., Adam & Eve D. Ernest Greene Starring: Nina Hartley Kylie Ireland Audrey Hollander Otto Bauer Nina Hartley's guides to sex are a staple in American sex ed. They are the most often recommended; the easiest for consumers to get, and Nina has a widely recognized, trusted name. She is really the "America's Sweetheart" of explicit sex ed videos, in part due to her training as an RN, her comfort with talking about sex, understanding about sex-positivity (and negativity), her lack of gender bias and her strong female perspective on pleasure. Plus, she has a great ass and lots of sexy friends. One of the things I love about her ed videos is that they are always full of authentic female orgasms. *Real* ones, and viewers can tell. This film, a spanking film for beginners, is no exception. First, the disk frustrations. It wouldn't play in one of my DVD players (the good one), but luckily I'm the kind of porn fiend that has 5 options available in her own house. It worked in the crappy Sony. [read the full review]

Bend Over Boyfriend: A Couples Guide to Male Anal Pleasure is the first educational video made to instruct couples of how to safely perform pegging and other anal play ever made. In over 30 years, Bend Over Boyfriend has aged far better than one would expect. Aspects are dated, and other elements are a little clunky however, all of the educational material is still very viable today, and writer/director Shar Rednour came up with some fun ideas of how to pass the information onto the viewer. Fatale Media has done an excellent job with its streaming-only edition on PinkLabel.TV with better than expected sound and picture quality. [read the full review]

J.R.'s
Another instructional DVD from our favorite (and very sexy) instructor, this feature is short on overt heat, but does offer some good tips on how to help yourself and your partner achieve multiple orgasms. Scene One: Instructional W/Nina Hartley, Layla Jade This is a chart-and study scene that has no sex. We see Nina give us the clinical definitions and show us a chart of the human body, and what makes men and women achieve multiple orgasms. Layla sits by and obseverves Nina give her instructions. Scene Two: Nina Hartley, Aria Nina use various toys and a fucking machine to bring Aria to several orgasms. After Aria fucks herself with her toys (with Ninas help), she gets on her knees and takes a dildo from a fucking machine nice and slow in her asshole, using a huge white vibrator on her clit to help get her off. She does not squirt in this scene at all. Pros: Both ladies give a nice, sensual scene to the viewer, and there is no all out girl-girl action in this scene. For couples. Cons: Aria did not squirt. Bummer. [read the full review]

Another instructional DVD from our favorite (and very sexy) instructor, this feature is short on overt heat, but does offer some good tips on how to help yourself and your partner achieve multiple orgasms. Scene One: Instructional W/Nina Hartley, Layla Jade This is a chart-and study scene that has no sex. We see Nina give us the clinical definitions and show us a chart of the human body, and what makes men and women achieve multiple orgasms. Layla sits by and obseverves Nina give her instructions. Scene Two: Nina Hartley, Aria Nina use various toys and a fucking machine to bring Aria to several orgasms. After Aria fucks herself with her toys (with Ninas help), she gets on her knees and takes a dildo from a fucking machine nice and slow in her asshole, using a huge white vibrator on her clit to help get her off. She does not squirt in this scene at all. Pros: Both ladies give a nice, sensual scene to the viewer, and there is no all out girl-girl action in this scene. For couples. Cons: Aria did not squirt. Bummer. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 102 min. (cover states Feature Length 104 min.) Production Date: 6 / 9 / 2004 Director: Ernest Greene Cast: Layla Jade, Lezley Zen, Mario Rossi, and of course, Mario Rossi The Short Story Initial Expectations: Nina has been doing a pretty good job with her instructional movies. Im going into this one with a bit of hope. Initial Reaction: The instruction is nicely done, and the final scene between Lezley Zen and Mario Rossi is absolutely fantastic! Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos uncomfortable with masturbation or whos curious if they can give themselves a better masturbatory experience Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants an instructional feature that isnt too graphic The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio is clear and well balanced for the most part, but there is a bit that gets a little hollow. There are also a few background noises as well as quite a bit of time where it soudns like theres a fan running near the microphone. [read the full review]

J.R.'s
This is a fine instructional DVD, by the ver gorgeous and divine Ms. H. For anyone who is looking for all out, hardcore, balls to the wall fucking and sucking, this not the DVD for you. Instead, it will tell you some things you may or may not have known about masturbation. Scene One: Nina Hartley, Layla Jade This scene has Nina using several toys and a fucking machine to get Layla off. Throughout the scene, she gives tips and instructions on what to do to bring yourself (as a woman) to the heights of self-pleasure. Pros: Both ladies are two of my favorites, and they look very sexy in this scene. Cons: More of a instructional feel goes with this scene. Once again, do not expect this to be a hard rubbing, masturbating, girls-only scene. Final Verdict: Just watch this scene to see two fine and sexy ladies in the industry get down just a little. Scene Two: Lezley Zen, Mario Rossi This is actually a better scene than I thought it would be. Lez walks Mario over to a nice bed, and after he strips out of his clothes gives him a nice BJ.

Nina Hartley's Guide To Younger Men Older Women Sex review summaries:
The Pocketcomb Pimp's
Nina Hartley's Guide To Younger Men, Younger Women Running Time: 81 min. Production Date: April 2004 The Pocketcomb Premise Nina Hartley always proves to be a hot topic on ADT. Ive been a fan of Ninas for at least 15 years. I believe her to be one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the screen and I always thought she was a boob job away from greatness. Unfortunately, by the time she go one her career had slowed down considerably. I also find her age hard to swallow. Even though her frame is flawless, her face appears to be aged beyond what some say is a 60s birth date. Either way, a new generation has been cheated by not being able to see some of Ninas Hall of Fame works that are most likely not available on DVD. This title started with a long commentary. This was where Nina and Sophie convince potential older women that letting a teenager fuck you in the ass is the key to your sexual freedom. Although I liked the talk, and touch, I was a bit upset that Sophie did not play a sexual roll in this title. [read the full review]

Loraine (SGPC)'s
Nina Hartley's Guide to Sex -- Younger Women/Older Men 81 minutes Directed By Ernest Greene Starring, Nina Hartley, Sophie Evans, Violet Blue, Jay Crew, Randy Spears From the boxcover: "Times have changed, but some things remain the same; older men love younger women. Watch as these experienced men make their lady lovers moan in a tango of tender sessions and good times. Today's woman reaslises there are many advantages to being with an older man - see their complete satisfaction realised." The film has three scenes although the first one is almost entirely talk. Scene One -- Nina and Sophie, Scene Two -- Nina, Sophie and Jay, Scene Three -- Randy and Violet. The behind the scenes is handled well by Ernest Greene, with the focus being on Nina assisting Violet to get into her lingerie. There's a little fun with an Orgasmatron scalp massager that causes a lot of laughter. There's also a cute conversation with Randy Spears who jokes about with gentle irony about finally getting to play the older man in a film. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: 53 min. Production Date: 2002 Director: None credited Cast: None credited with the exception of Dr. Patti Britton The Short Story Initial Expectations: I havent heard anything about the Alexander Institutes DVDs, but theyve impressed me with their selection of educational videos. Im going into this one with a bit of hope. Initial Reaction: Its a bit long due to the format, but also very well done. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting to learn a few massage techniques Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a very clinical look at massage or actual sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The audio is clear and free of background noises. Its fairly well balanced, but there are a few areas where the balance leaves the audio feeling a little jumbled. The video is also okay. Theres a bit of grain throughout the movie and the lighting varies slightly as well. Sometimes it helps the feature and sometimes it gives it an odd feeling due to lighting jumps.

Description This is an instructional dvd on how to dominate a woman. It is a follow up to part 1 on how to dominate a man. General Impression It starts with another lecture from Nina, but she pretty much ran out of things to say in part 1. This is followed by two sex scenes. She succeeds here once again in making domination unthreatening, but it loses almost all of the heat in the process. Wussy. Sex The first scene with Shayla LaVeaux and Nina started out s-l-o-w. Nothing much happens for a while, as Shayla demonstrates how to get on your knees, how to put your arms behind you, etc. After a little kissing and some demos of how to lock and unlock cuffs, Nina licks some pussy. So far, no real domme energy, and neither woman really into anything. It can't be done any s-l-o-w-e-r. I was thinking, "This scene needs a dick." Shortly thereafter, Nina has on a red, clown-like strap-on. Then tons of lube are dribbled onto Shayla's pussy and the floor. Shayla finally gets turned on with the help of the dildo. Then she's sucking a smaller dildo and takes it up the ass. [read the full review]

Description The well-regarded Nina Hartley makes an instructional movie about dominating a man. General Impression Like her earlier efforts in this series, it is rather lightweight. She is articulate and concise in her introduction, thus quickly runs out of things to say. The rest of the dvd is devoted to two sex scenes. The main usefulness of the dvd is to soften the idea of domination and submission, and to show it in an unthreatening light. She succeeds in this - the scenes look normal and healthy and should be a friendly introduction for a partner who might be uncertain about the idea. The emphasis here is on mutual pleasure, with no inclusion of discipline or punishment. This is gentle role-playing in which one partner is teased and pleasured, while the other teases, pleases, and is also pleasured. Nina keeps the focus on play, rather than politics. She discusses safety, limits, and safewords. She makes a nice point that setting limits makes possible wider ranges of sexual exploration. [read the full review]

Cast: Nina Hartley, Missy, Mickey G., Midori (with partner Michael), Aiko (with partner Dave), Ty Law. Director: Nina Hartley Production date: 1/97 Length: 158 min. Extras: A three-page biography of Nina (with no option for viewers to navigate at their own pace). Audio/visual quality: The visual quality is weak. The images are too soft, and the colors are washed out. Light levels vary noticeably when the camera angles change. There are problems with shadows, poor focus, oversaturated and insufficient lighting (both extremes) and blemishes that look like scratches in the master print. We do get a direct view of the action much of the time, however. The audio quality is also substandard. There are persistent and annoying background sounds, as if the microphone is repeatedly bumped. Dubbing is obvious in a couple places. Several scenes contain jazz music, which is quite pleasant except for the obvious looping. The sound of one of Nina's climaxes has been edited out.

Initial Reaction: Its a great idea thats almost killed by another bonehead act. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for a little help getting things started with their partner Who Should Avoid It: Anybody whos already seen most of this series already Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very well balanced and clear. You can hear both Ninas teachings as well as the sexual sounds very clearly. The video is a little grainy and soft, but I didnt think it was bad enough to interfere with the overall feature. Im guessing from the quality that it was taken from the original VHS master. Music: The Foreplay section only has music during the fantasy scenes where it uses some nice slow and soft jazz. The Dancing section uses slow and sexy music that seems perfect for the subject. [read the full review]

Im guessing from the quality that it was taken from the original VHS master. Music: The Foreplay section only has music during the fantasy scenes where it uses some nice slow and soft jazz. The Dancing section uses slow and sexy music that seems perfect for the subject. [read the full review]

Running Time: 110 min. (cover states over 2 hours) Production Date: Jan. 1995 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Anna Malle, Hank Armstrong, John Decker, Christi Lake, Sahara Sands, Dic Tracy, Ariana, Luc Wilder, Shannon Rush, Magnum, Dallas, and Duane Initial Expectations: After Adam & Eves last fiasco with Nina Hartleys Guide to Seduction, Im not expecting much here. Initial Reaction: Pass it up like you would your sister when you needed a prom date. Who Should Watch It : Prison inmates Who Should Avoid It: People looking for something new since the original features are much better Audio /Video Quality: The audio and video appear to be about the same quality they would have originally been on VHS. The audio is pretty good but has some wind noise and unevenness. It has a slightly muddy sound in parts and the dialogue can be kind of hard to understand at the party. [read the full review]

Running length: 1 hr. 55 min. D.O.P. 11/20/95 Female cast: Nina Hartley, Anna Malle, Christy Lake, Sahara Sands, Shannon Rush Male cast: Hank Armstrong, John Decker, Luc Wylder, Dic Tracy, Magnum, Dallas, Duane Audio/Video: The video was fine, but the audio could use improvement. Normally, the inability to understand clearly what is being said isn't a problem, but since this is an 'instructional' title (wink, nudge) I should point this out. At times this also can be attributed to porn actor's poor enunciation skills. There was some fairly loud piano porn music during the 'instructional' 3-way that was unneeded. Extras: 1 bio of Nina. The Movie: From the ambiguous title, you might think this has to do with gay sex. Nina quickly makes it clear however, that it deals with the 'swinging' lifestyle - something even more foreign to me. But then, I'm a straight, single female who doesn't appear in porn movies or who's not yet trapped in a loveless marriage, living a life of romance novels, Fabio fantasies and quiet desperation.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody curious about the love swing Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for information on sex toys such as dildos Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects of this DVD have come a long way from where they were in the earlier installments of this series. The audio is very clear and well balanced, but there is a little dubbing in places. The video has a little grain, but not much, and very few shadows. Music: Theres only a little bit of music, but when there is its nicely balanced with the rest of the audio. [read the full review]
