Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men Review

Reviewed by fu_q  on  10/28/2009

“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. The first involves Penny Flame and Devin, with Tristan present in an advisory role for the opening portion of the scene. Penny utilizes her fingers, a butt-plug, and a couple of strap-ons—including one holding a double-headed dildo such that both Devin (anally) and Penny (vaginally) are penetrated simultaneously—on him. There is a pop-shot in this scene, as Devin unloads on Penny’s tummy. The second demonstration scene features Annie Cruz and Nomad. She uses her fingers (up to four of them at once), a bead-like butt-plug, a large butt-plug, and a strap-on on him. Nomad eats Annie out, gets four fingers up her butt (she does this to herself, as well), and works her over anally with a glass-like dildo as she masturbates with a large wand-like vibrator. There is no cum-shot in this scene. The third demonstration scene involves Jandi Lin and Christian. This is more like a normal scene, save the female-to-male anal play that the pair partakes in. Over the course of the proceedings, each partner performs oral sex on the other, and a good deal of vaginal sex in multiple positions is had. During the goings-on, Christian takes Jandi’s fingers, a metal butt-plug, a glass-like butt-plug / dildo, and a black, curved prostate stimulator in his ass. Jandi rims him a bit, as well, and there is no strap-on use here—though Jandi does sometimes manipulate the toys while being fucked. Christian appears to cum three times in this scene, though not all of the pop-shots are perfectly visible. All of these (apparent) ejaculations are in / on Jandi’s mouth / tongue, and all of them involve Christian and Jandi snowballing and / or doing some cummy kissing afterward—I suppose that one should keep an open mind. In keeping with that last phrase—the one about the open mind—it should be noted that Christian also licks off the metal butt-plug that has just been up his ass part-way through the scene.

In terms of bonus material and other options, everything is in the Main Menu. There is an obvious “Play Feature” option, and there are choices for selecting the individual parts / scenes from the movie—both with and without the voice-over comments for the demonstration sequences. There are also tutorials on “Safer Sex”, “How to Choose & Wear A Strap-On”, “Solo Prostate Stimulation”—involving the guys from the production, and “Anal Hygiene and Enemas”—featuring actresses. All of these segments are reasonably informative, and the one about the strap-on use, at times, resembles an airline safety video. There is also a “Trailers” option that plays through a number of related trailers, and there are “Vivid Products” and “Vivid-Ed.com” choices that play through advertisements and a website promo, respectively.

Overall, this DVD is informative, interesting, and done in a serious manner. If this type of activity is something that might be of interest to you, I would strongly recommend checking out this title. If you are looking simply for porn with no educational component, you may wish to look elsewhere—this is truly an educationally-motivated guide.
