What I Liked

-If you can get past the lighting and audio issues there is some good information here. 

• Communication, asking what feels good
• Not just diving in, a wet pussy is a happy pussy
• "Good kissing makes girls wet, bad kissing makes girls dry."
• Watch your partners eyes, listen to their breath.
• Nipple sensitivity is different at different times of the month for womyn

-I want to give some credit for trying to make an instructional video on foreplay. It is so essential for enjoyable sex, particularly to womyn. I'm glad someone is trying to make information on how to be a good lover available.

-Partial kudos for using a plus sized womyn in your video. Only partial though, why was her scene the only one that stopped before there was intercourse?

What I Didn't Like

-The people in charge of lighting, editing and the audio should be horse whipped. There are shadows cast on the actors, constant bumping and scraping on the mic, the cuts from scene to scene are rough and choppy and people can be heard talking off set. I think Nina holds part of the responsibility here as well, her name is listed as director/producer. It is my humble opinion that something of this quality should never have gone out with her name on it. Particularly considering this is a series, had this been the first one in the series I watched, I would not come back for another. 

-If this is a foreplay video, why is so much time spent on the sex act itself?

-Nina does a lot of talking, but never really seems to say anything of real value.

-In the foreplay section, the second scene with Missy and Mickey G, Nina flubs for Mickey's name. Don't be so cheap, it was the beginning of the scene, do another take for heavens sake.

-True to the format of Nina's instructional video's they get a little long. This was particularly obvious in the Private Dancing section with the "stretching" scenes. It got boring fast.

Extras

Pretty bare bones. Your options are:

• Play
• Foreplay
  Aside from the aforementioned AV issues, there was some good information to be had here although a little repetitious from previous Nina Guide's.
• Private Dancing
  Looks like this was slated originaly to be it's own Guide but there wasn't enough material so it was put in with the Foreplay DVD.
• Biography
  Type written with no option to navigate and read at your own pace.
• Website
  This was just an Adam & Eve gif.
  

I Would Recommend this DVD to

-Anyone looking for some very soft core porn.

-A couple that's new to sex.

My Overall Impression

The idea of an instructional series is a fabulous one and I feel like this really could have gone somewhere with some extra effort, money and talent.
