jessica drake's Guide to Wicked Sex: BDSM for Beginners review summaries:
Captain Jack's
This is an instructional disk from the Jessica Drake series. This one conerns BDSM for beginners and it starts out with 3 couples telling us what aspect of the genre really interests them. Derrick Pierce and Casey Calvert, Maddy O'Reilly and Steven St. Croix and Aiden Starr and Michael Vegas give us some vivid descriptions of what they like. They talk about their first experiences in the lifestyle and what their ultimate submissive fantasy would be. They emphasize the safety aspects of it and trust is also very necessary. Obviously, in adult films, you can't do everything that may happen in the lifestyle, that's probably why Jessica has 'for beginners' in the title! [read the full review]

Captain Jack's
Kelly Shibari is the most famous and decorated plus size model in the adult industry. She introduces this guide with Jessica at her side. Once the intro is over, it’s all Kelly. She and a couple of other plus-size couples talk about the trials and tribulations of being bigger. It’s interesting here these people talk about how they dealt with their size from a young age. I can relate! Kelly talks about being confident in yourself and that’s the key to everything, being comfortable in your own skin. Following the 42-minute plus tutorial, for lack of a better word, there are 3 hard core sex scenes. You have the option of listening to Kelly give a commentary on the action, or you can just listen to the sounds of sex. [read the full review]

This is a very nicely done instructional release that does its subject justice. Kelly Shibari does a great job leading this one and talks about the subject of plus sized sex as well as plenty of matters surrounding it. The technical aspects are nicely done and there's a solid bonus scene in the extras. The only thing that really holds this one back is that some of the DVD authoring seems a bit off and the cover claims are a bit mixed up. That said, this is a solid enough release that if you're interested in it you should definitely pick it up. [read the full review]

Kamasutra (Daring) review summaries:
Applecranberry's
The is a super artsy instructional video about the positions of the Kama Sutra. There are 63 positions in this DVD, so not all the positions that are in the book are in this movie. All the women are extremely attractive, and the movie is shot in the style of Danejones or X-Art. Very artsy. There are no sexy sounds or fucking noises, so you can leave the sound on. The music is whimsical. It's a way more fun way to learn the positions of the Kama Sutra than reading a book and looking at poorly drawn cartoon figures. This would make a good Christmas stocking stuffer. You don't really see any penis or vulva, so this is like softcore porn. Basically this movie is like if you were shopping at IKEA, and you find people having boy girl sex on the IKEA furniture in very creative and artistic positions. [read the full review]

Aaryanna's
Zero Tolerance is one of my favorite studios. And watching anal sex on screen is one of my favorite genres. In fact, I think women are often times more attractive fucking in their backdoors than screwing in their pussies. I bet we would all like to fuck anally like porn stars, right? Who better to tell us how than Zero Tolerance. Unfortunately, this instructional video makes anal fucking too messy and cumbersome. Show me instead how Alexis Texas prepares her ass for fucking. Show me the lube that she uses. And show me how she gets it in there. Lastly, tell me what anal lube would be best for ass-to-mouth? How nasty. Is that too much to ask? [read the full review]

The cast is very easy on the eyes, but the commentary on positions is extremely limited. The technical aspects are very nice and there's very nice effort put into the extras, but there isn't enough here to really justify it as more than a rental unless you really want the accompanying CD and overgrown pamphlet showing the positions.

Three porn stars (Julia Ann, Lily Labeau and Missy Stone) demonstrate female masturbation along with some instruction by Jessica Drake. It tries to cut a middle line between instructional videos and porn, and doesn't really do either particularly well, but doesn't outright fail either. It's so-so, but unless you want to see one of those performers in particular, you're better off getting either a dedicated instructional video or a dedicated masturbation video, instead of this half-n-half.

As an instructional release, jessica drake turns out a release that seems as much pep talk as it is an instructional release. There's some good information passed on, but it's nowhere near as complete as what's passed on in similar releases from Nina Hartley and Tristan Taormino. There's nice anal action and a very friendly feeling, and that leaves this one feeling like it's main goal is to reassure couples that anal sex is a perfectly normal and fun thing to do while passing on a few beginning tips. The technical aspects are nicely done and there's a touch of effort put into the extras to help it out. [read the full review]

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]

The boys form Popporn are back with another cutting edge romantic comedy, and mercifully there are no lame performances from Kate Hudson or Matthew McConaughey to endure for the thrill of tits and ass. In a cross between Frank T.J. Mackey, and the man with the golden arm Kenny Powers, Spock Buckton has run the straighteners through the hair to play a highly intelligent and driven self-help merchant who has developed a range of pussy gettin techniques for those living in a clam-less desert. The comedy is fun and thankfully Bockton and Brian Bangs have not been castrated by PC politics when it comes to composing a gag filled and sexually entertaining script. With the help of a few porn gals that can actually perform in front of the camera when the clothes are on, How To Be A Ladies Man will no doubt garner further attention from AVN, and importantly pave the way for more alcohol fuelled party times for the Popporn entourage in Vegas come January. But enough of the porno propaganda..... [read the full review]

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]

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]

Penny Flame's Expert Guide To Rough Sex review summaries:
GS500's
Penny Flame does a decent (18min) intro to various types of rough sex, i.e. slapping, choking, safe words, etc. She has a great looking female assistant. She goes over some really key tips for having a rough and safe time. Cut to the sex where they talk about their rough sex experiences for a little bit, then actually demonstrate healthy, safe rough sex. Penny only jumps in to point out details in the scenes. This is a great intro to the rough scene and worth it if you've been wanting to try some rough sex. [read the full review]

How To Strip Like a Pro review summaries:
astroknight's
This release might not be what many expect it to be going in, but works so well that I can't help but highly recommend it. Rather than presenting different moves to try at home, How to Strip Like a Pro sets out to give women the confidence and attitude to perform strip teases for their men and find the power that likes within their sexuality when they do so. The girls each do a nice slow strip tease, but they never show any definite moves to copy. The technical aspects are very nicely done and are only limited by a non-anamorphic transfer, and there's a bit of effort put into the extras to help out the overall DVD. This might not be what one expects going in, but it works so well that I can't help but highly recommend it. [read the full review]

Expert Guide To Positions, The review summaries:

This is a great instructional release. Tristan Taormino gives plenty of great information on each of the positions, as well as sex positions in general, and makes the subject interesting for those who are feeling a little lost and trying to find ways to spice things up as well as self-proclaimed experts who are trying to make sure they haven't missed a position. The DVD is all the more impressive due to having a full scene from each of the couples in the movie without any narration as well as a pair of bonus scenes. Throw in some very nice attention for the technical aspects and you have what's easily one of the best instructional releases on sex positions that I've seen so far. [read the full review]

This was one of OSK's weaker instructional releases. There's a good amount of information covered here, but none of it really seems new. Instead it all seems slightly tweaked from other bondage releases to warn of the dangers of damaging the cock while feeling like it would have been much better as a fifteen or twenty minute segment on a bigger instructional bondage release. The technical aspects hover around the average level, but there's no real effort put into the extras to help it out. This is a slightly below average release. [read the full review]

The Educational Sex Series starts things out fairly basic here covering blowjobs. They let porn girls Ann Parker, Samantha Roxx, and Crystal Heart describe giving head while also demonstrating. The girls keep things going with a layman's approach and never really get clinical. Instead they show plenty of enthusiasm for the subject while showing off their methods and talking about what works for them and others they know. This gives the movie a bit more of a porno feeling, but also a bit more of a relaxed and easy to relate to feeling with how the girls talk about it. There's a little effort put into the extras with a few trailers, and the technical aspects make it slightly above the average level.

This is easily the worst instructional release I've watched on anal sex as well as the most enjoyable.

The only way this release shines is as pure humor, and I found myself laughing at it a heck of a lot more than I was with it. While Caren Caan does a nice job keeping things fun and light, Roxetta comes off as being extremely easily distracted by anything the least bit shiny as well as then wanting to shove it up her ass. The technical aspects are pretty average, but there's a bit of effort put into the extras here with an amusing blooper reel.

Those people might want to check out this release as it does a decent job showing off plenty of different techniques while letting porn girls like Caren Caan and Kelly Wells demonstrate and talk about it. The technical aspects hold this one back due to some very inconsistent audio, and it's held back just as much by Sharmane Lynn appearing completely clueless about what to do in front of a camera unless there's a dick in her.

astroknight's
OSK continues it's nice instructional style bringing in porn stars to help teach and demonstrate different sexual techniques. This time Caren Caan, Veronica Jett, and Roxetta team up to teach about deep throating with nice results. Caren easily does the best job with some nice tips and an easy to relate to feel while Roxetta comes off a bit too slutty and pornish. The action is captured pretty well and there's a nice mix of tips and demonstrations. The technical aspects are pretty average, but like most instructional releases, there isn't much effort put into the extras. If you're interested in learning how to deep throat, this release is well worth checking out. [read the full review]

If you want instruction on anal sex, this is a great release to check out. With plenty of information, a few enjoyable demonstrations, and a very sex-positive feeling, the movie covers anal sex very well. The technical aspects are pretty good, and there's some very nice effort put into the extras with a bonus scene and a behind the scenes featurette. This is a very impressive instructional release.

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]

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 does a great job discussing the topic as well as demonstrating it, and has a very nice cast to help her out.

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]

Director: Ernest Greene Videographer: Ralph Parfait Production dates: 11/28/0511/30/05 (taping), 5/8/06 (DVD) Length: 108 min.

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 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]

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....

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 Little Details Running Time: 83 min. Production Date: 9 / 11 / 1993 Director: Kay Parker and Wes Emerson Cast: Ariel Daye, Deidre Holland, Laurie Cameron, Sharon Kane, Jon Dough, Jonathan Morgan, Mike Horner, and Steve Drake in sexual roles with host Kay Parker The Short Story Initial Expectations: I havent heard anything about this one, and am going in a bit curious. Initial Reaction: Skip it Who Should Watch It : Insomniacs Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for information on lasting longer or new and different positions The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are quite good for the age of the movie. The audio is clear and well balanced, with the voiceovers being nicely balanced with the rest of the audio. The video has a bit of grain, which should be expected with the age of the movie, but it isnt so bad as to interfere with the movie. Its also nicely lit and doesnt have any movement to interfere with the movie. [read the full review]

Im not quite sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: I think its the best DVD release Ive seen on the subject so far. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to add more positions to their lovemaking Who Should Avoid It: Nobody The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very well done. 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.

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]

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]

Production Date: 6 / 7 / 2004 Director: Ernest Greene Cast: Aria, Voodoo, Nicole Sheridan, and of course, Nina Hartley with Layla Jade helping out for the lecture The Short Story Initial Expectations: Nina has done a pretty good job with most of her instructional releases. Im going into this one with a bit of hope. Initial Reaction: Its pretty good. Who Should Watch It : Anybody curious about becoming multi-orgasmic Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of tips on how to become multi-orgasmic rather than just getting some general information The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are okay. The audio is normally pretty clear and well balanced, but there are a few background noises and hollow spots. The video is much the same way. Its nicely lit but it does have some slight grain. It captures the action okay, but often feels limited and fairly cheap. Music: Theres a little soft music that helps the movie out nicely. [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]

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]

Production Date: 2002 Director: None credited Cast: Juli Ashton, Devin Wolf, Charlie, Dante, Chennin Blanc, Cheyne Collins, and expert Dr. Ava Cadell The Short Story Initial Expectations: Ive been impressed with what Ive seen from the Alexander Institute, and this looks like a fun release. Initial Reaction: Its fun and nicely done. Who Should Watch It : Couples who want to spice things up a little but who arent quite sure how. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a little instruction without fairly graphic sex The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are pretty good. The audio is nicely balanced, and although there are a few background noises most of them fit in with the feature. The video is a bit grainy, and has a very VHS feel to it, but is nicely lit. Music: The music has a soft feel and varies slightly in balance throughout the movie. It helps the movie almost the entire time, but there isnt a lot of it. [read the full review]

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.

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.

Running Time: 156 min. Production Date: Jan. 1997 Director: Nina Hartley Cast: Nina Hartley, Midori, Missy, Mickey G., Michael, Tye Law, Aiko, and Dave Initial Expectations: This series has been kind of hit or miss for me, so Im keeping an open mind. 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]

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.

Nina Hartley's Guide to Couples Sexploration review summaries:
lindi's
Description 'Sexploration' might sound exciting and adventurous to you. But this movie is mostly examples of what a few couples might do in their bedrooms. General Impression Although there is some soft instructional talk, accompanied by twinkly music, this is basically a peek into the neighbors' bedroom windows. The instructional aspect is very basic, almost remedial. There is an audience for this movie -- people who are inexperienced or timid about sex may find it reassuring and helpful. A few good points are made, but the basic value of the movie is it's healthy, relaxed, playful tone. Sex Shayla teases her real-life beau Anthony, playing with his dick and nibbling at it through his silk boxers. There's some nice, sexy tease here. Nina sits on the sidelines making commentary, which is always a bit jarring to me. I would have liked it if she had not been in the room interrupting the couple, and had overdubbed the commentary later. As Shayla sucks Anthony's dick, Nina walks over to ask Shayla for a little kiss. Whatever. [read the full review]

Running Time: 64 min. (cover states approx. 60 min.) Production Date: 8 / 26 / 2000 Director: Nina Hartley & Will Renald Cast: Nina Hartley, Shayla LaVeaux, Joel Lawrence, Anthony, and Running Horse Initial Expectations: Ive had mixed luck out of this series, so Im not quite sure what to expect. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but feels more like a porno than an educational feature. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who wants to be more comfortable with sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for exploration beyond vaginal sex Audio /Video Quality: Although the audio has a few spots where the balance is off a little, most of the time its very clear and easy to understand. The video is also good. It has a few shadow problems here and there, but I think theyre mostly there to help the mood out. Theres just slightly more grain than normal, but it isnt enough to really interfere. Music: The music starts out with a classical piano style and moves on through some other styles that fit the mood of the feature very well. [read the full review]
