It’s been a while since I’ve shared an afternoon with Nina Hartley.  Alright, fine… by “share an afternoon,” I mean sat at my desk and watched one of Hartley’s fantastic instructional movies.  Oh well, a girl can dream…  So anyway, today Nina and I got down and dirty talking about advanced sex toys.  Yes, some dildos and vibes could be considered “advanced,” but this flick’s focus is on ultimate position enhancers, such as the Bungee Weightless Sexperience and the Love Swing.

Basically a how-to on using these specific toys, this video only really talks about these two specific models of weightless toys.  There is a third scene featuring a hot threesome with a vibrator included, but I didn’t really see any advanced sex toy activity going on there, so I plan to talk about scenes one and two primarily.

As much as I really love Nina Hartley and her instructional movies, this particular volume didn’t really do it for me.  Hartley’s other instructionals touch on topics with a broader brush, going over specific sex acts and types of toys, but never really get into detail to the point of talking about certain brands.  I could be mistaken, but I believe I’ve never (or rarely) seen that in a Nina Hartley guide.  Either way, it wasn’t my favorite of the bunch.

Even though I wasn’t as blown over by this instructional, it doesn’t mean I didn’t like it or find it helpful.  Before watching this, I never really had a step-by-step view on how to use these two products.  I mean sure, I had a general idea about how they work, but not anything extensive.  First up is the Bungee Weightless Sexperience, a collection of straps and harnesses that attach to a single thick bungee cord in the ceiling.

There is a back and shoulder harness, a sling that supports your lower back, and two straps that fit around your thighs, hoisting them as high into the air as you prefer.  This toy leaves you totally weightless (hence the name) and frictionless when it comes to positioning.  Nina and her friends Adajja and Tyler Wood show us how to get in and out of the contraption and how to adjust it to accommodate certain sexual positions.  While it looks like a total pain in the ass to put on and get situated in, the Bungee Weightless Sexperience actually seems like it would be really fun and really hot to play with.  I may be sold… Read the rest of this entry »

This day didn’t begin out too bad, but once I saw that we pushed a new Belladonna movie live, today became AWESOME.  And it’s not JUST a Belladonna movie – it’s a Belladonna INSTRUCTIONAL, which even the thought of drains all my blood into my bits.  I mean really, can you make a porno that’s more of a wet dream to me?  I think not.  So, of course I waited until I got everything else I needed to finish done so that I could enjoy Bella last.  Boy, was I not disappointed!

From the beginning Bella points out that this instructional is like none you’ve seen before – and that some may not call it instructional at all, but this is HER kind of instructional. I LOVE LOVE LOVVVVE that Belladonna gives a little foreword saying that though she is explaining how she does things, that the viewers really have to listen to themselves and their partners and do what works for them.  Oh Bella, you are such a sexy educator.  And just to mention, I am so fucking glad you are back and making movies.  To say you were missed is an understatement.

To get the action started, Bella reads a question about sucking cock that a viewer has written in.  She gets to the blowjob answer in time, but first shows us how to make a smoothie in her Vitamix blender.  That’s what I love about Belladonna.  She just does what she wants and doesn’t give a fuck if we want to watch it or not – because she knows that no matter what she does, we are gonna lap it up and enjoy whatever it is.  Yum.

After the random juicing, Bella gets down to business answering questions folks asked her over twitter.  She sits down and gives some pretty decent answers to common inquiries about sex.   Bella dishes on how to give an amazing blowjob, offering up specific tips and tricks.  I don’t know about you, but I am in awe of Belladonna’s blowjobs, so I sat up and took some damn notes!

Bella lays down with Mark Wood and asks him all about what he likes in a blowjob – and not just on screen, but in real life.  He talks about lots of saliva and more mouth than hand.  And then Bella gives him a great BJ, including ball licking and feet-dick action.  HOT!

Part two is all about Bella staying fit and doing aerial work with silks.  Man, that woman is versatile! She does an amazing routine up in the air and then sits down with her trainer to talk about keeping your body in top shape.

Next up is the girl-on-girl section with Katsuni, who talks all about connection and giving/receiving for a good long while, and then gets it on with Bella.  While this super hot and exciting, it’s not my favorite part of the video, so I am moving on to Belladonna’s next topic – Foot Fetishes.  Here Bella is back to her shaved head self, driving in her car and talking about her own love for feet.  She walks around in super hot boots and offers us up really sexy angles of her feet.  She brings us into a Skype session she’s having with a random person, as she takes off her boots and gets dirty with her sweaty feet.  I mean really, can you imagine sexy Skyping with Bella-Fucking-Donna as she plays dirty with her toes and fucks herself. Alright, I need to be done with this review so I can go home and watch this on my own time.

Thank Goodness there are 3 discs!  Seriously – watch this!

A while back, we dedicated a Top Five Tuesday to everything Tristan Taormino, which, if you read, you know is amazing. Seriously, everything the woman touches turns to hot, sweaty, dirty gold. This morning while I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about what to feature for the Top Five today, and I realized that though I was coming up with a list of ideas, I kept going back to wanting to write specifically about Taormino’s educational flicks.  These amazing instructionals combine Tristan’s writings and sex education background with her fantastic film works, making them some of the top edu-porns on the market!  Take a look at (and maybe even some note from) Tristan Taormino’s Top Five Instructional Porns!

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Female Orgasms – To be honest, there aren’t many people I would trust to talk about female orgasms in an educational way, but Tristan Taormino definitely tops my list.  Touching on the various types of orgasms, the female arousal cycle, and tricks and techniques to bring added BANG to the Big “O” – this video is a must see for anyone that has a stake in getting a female body off.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Advanced Fellatio – While there most certainly is a 101 video about blowjobs, I decided that this advanced class is more up my alley.  Skipping on all the intro material, this 2011 AVN Winner for Best Educational Release dives right into positions, deep throating, rimming, face fucking and so much more!  Plus this flick features a whole host of performers we love, including Adrianna Nicole, Danny Wylde, Satine Phoenix and Marie Luv!

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Oral Sex Part One Cunnilingus – The oldest video of the bunch I chose, this collection of cunnilingus tips starts off with all the basics, including female anatomy.  Host  Justine Joli takes us through a hands-on pussy licking demo with Ariel X before turning it over to folks performing the delicious deeds.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Advanced Anal Sex – As Tristan Taormino is basically the guru of anal sex, any booty advice that comes from her mouth is pretty much the gospel of the act.  If you need a refresher on anal 101, check out Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Sex, and then get your behind back over here to get the advanced lesson on how to make your pucker sing.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men – While I would say that men’s sexuality is pretty prevalent in porn, there isn’t a ton of movies specifically directed to teaching folks how to get busy with a man booty.  Thankfully Taormino saw this information gap and brought us a flick perfectly designed to fit that peg… if you know what I mean.

Alright folks, class in in session. I hope you all brought pencils…

I’m very specific when it comes to my instructional porn.  I am a sex educator through and through, so I take educational porn very seriously.  I’m a huge fan of Tristan Taormino and Nina Hartley, which means I have the highest of standards for porn labeled as instructional.  Every once in a while I know I need to branch out from those favorites and see what else the sex ed porn has to offer.  This time it’s Kendo’s A Sexual Technique: With A Loving Touch, a gentle guide for better getting it on.

While, it’s a little different than the instructionals I am accustom to, this flick definitely gets the job done of increasing your knowledge while you watch hot folks go at it.  With other educational movies I’ve seen, there is usually a sit down and discuss section before getting busy, but this one just goes into the sexy action with a voiceover instead of conversation.

This movie gives more suggestions on how to add more sensuality to your relationship and a few instructions on how to perform sex acts, but not necessarily the detailed specifics that other educational movies, like Taormino’s and Hartley’s, though I am trying hard not to compare.

One thing that I really like about this film versus other instructional movies is that it is very erotic and sensual.  It really barely feels like an education movie, other than the voiceover, which is British and sounds kind of erotic itself.   This flick is definitely more passion and romance filled than different kinds of instructionals, and would probably be perfect for couples that are looking to foray into watching porn together, especially how-to porn.  The high quality and calming imagery are just a bonus of this awesome flick.

This erotic journey definitely gets two thumbs up from me!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tristan Taormino is fucking amazing when it comes to giving concise, easy-to-use, sexy education.  Her how-do’s merge expert knowledge with fun and passion, creating fantastic movies that are so much more than just instructional porns.   The perfect mix of discussion, interviews and demonstrations, these guides are just the thing for couples who are excited to learn something new without being bored to sleep or left in the dust while the performers are doing acrobatic acts on screen.

This newest release, an advanced guide for sexing up the booty, really is the movie for Taormino to make.  As an expert on all things anal, Tristan brings her skills to the screen and gives us all the goods on getting it on butt-style in more advanced ways.  She really is the one person I would trust my ass with above anyone else.

As with all of Taormino’s other videos, this one features amazing sexy pairings.  Kylie Ireland with James Deen, Adrianna Nicole with Danny Wylde, Bobbi Starr with Mr. Marcus, and Nina Hartley with Christian – I seriously can’t decide which scene I enjoyed most!  Each of the duos are wonderfully matched and it’s super easy to see just how much chemistry is flowing between the performers.  Even if we didn’t have interviews with each of the performers telling us about how excited they are to be doing the scene, it would still be totally obvious.  They are all a joy to watch.

One of the greatest things about this advanced video is that though it is geared towards folks who are looking for beyond the basic 101 skills, Tristan still makes sure to touch on the important info on keeping safe.  Just because someone knows how to fuck a butt doesn’t mean that they can’t benefit from a quick refresher on going slowly and using a bunch of lube.  Also, I’m sure that there are tons of people that think they are advanced enough to skip Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Sex (though they really should be watching it) and head straight to this video.  For those people, I am so glad the basics make an appearance before getting into the more complex stuff.  Thanks Tristan.

Another thing I love – that Adrianna Nicole says “Don’t put pressure on yourself.  If it isn’t going to happen today, then it will happen next time, or the time after that.  Your butt’s always going to be there.”  Wiser words were never spoken.

If I had to choose someone that I look up to in the porn world and was only allowed to pick one – that person would be Tristan Taormino.   Pornographer/sex educator/author/anal advocate extraordinaire, Taormino is one of the most multifaceted, engaging people in the industry – as well as the sexuality field in general.  If you don’t know her movies already, consider yourself lucky to have stumbled on this blog post and get to watching!

Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry An Experiment – Think Real World, but with better sex!  Taormino stuck seven porn stars together in a house for 2 days and left them to their own devices, resulting in some of the most honest, exciting porno I’ve ever encountered.  Confessionals and handheld cams included!  This experiment was the start of a beautiful series that captures performer interactions in a whole different light.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Female Orgasms – If I’m looking for instructional porn, there are only two people I will turn to – Tristan Taormino and Nina Hartley.  And coming from a sex educator, that’s nothing to sneeze at!  Taormino’s educational movies are sexy, thought-provoking and full to the brim with easy to understand tips and techniques.  This is not your high-school sex ed!

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex – What do you get when you ask porn performers to divulge their real life kinky fantasies and then act them out with the partner of their choosing?  One of the most amazingly hot hardcore series that has ever graced the porno screen.  Breaking down the boundaries between performing and fucking, this series is so much more than just dirty movies.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men –While many folks only acknowledge the lack of discussion around female sexuality, there really aren’t many people talking about anal pleasure for men.  Taormino goes where other pornographers and sex educators tend to avoid – and opens conversations that we should have been having all along.  I am smitten with her!

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind – A first in the Rough Sex Series, Tristan follows the fantasies of only one porn performer (Adrianna Nicole) and allows her to experience a number of her desires, including a Bowie-esque bang with Jiz Lee and a shower gang up.  Love it!

HM4Her loves Tristan Taormino!

I was looking through our movie reviews and realized that we hadn’t watched an instructional flick in a minute.  Being a sex educator myself, I just knew I couldn’t let this opportunity pass by without taking the time to get my schoolin’ on.  And who did I go to for this, you ask?  Why, the fabulous Nina Hartley, of course!  Rocking the educator role in more than 30 “Nina Hartley’s Guide To…” movies, Hartley is a totally authority on all things sexy.  This time I decided to go with a topic I know very little about – double penetration (DP).

As is with all Nina Hartley guides, this educational adventure started out with a nice, healthy dose of conversation and communication before any DP action was even mentioned.  Along with covering all of the how-to basics of where to put what and maneuvers to make that work, Hartley discusses all of the details of picking the right partners (both anatomically and emotionally), being in the right mindset, and so much more.

Seriously, the lady makes sure to cover all the bases, which I think is totally amazing and what makes this video really worthwhile to anyone watching it.  She even has co-star Kylie Ireland lie back and give us a female anatomy lesson with her pussy.  Oh, Nina, you are such a rock star sex educator!

Once the foundation of communication and all that good stuff is in place, Nina joins Randy Spears and Mario Rossi for a full on demo, showing us viewers at home exactly how to get a double penetration party going.  Starting with lots of dick sucking and solo fucking, this scene takes it’s time building us up to the double dick headliner.  Nina doesn’t just take it all like a champ, she shows how totally into it she is with a bunch of dirty talk and lots of loud, delicious moans.  Yum.

Whether she is sitting on a couch talking or getting pounded by two big cocks, Nina Hartley is a total class act and definitely one of the hottest women in porn.  You’d be smart to take a look at all she has to offer!

Man, oh man, have I been patiently awaiting this one!  I first heard about this amazing instructional a while back and was super excited, but once director Tristan Taormino posted pictures on her blog of Dylan Ryan and Mr. Marcus going at it (scene 5), I knew I had to get my eyes on the entire thing.  And let me just tell you – holy crap was it awesome!

Obviously I love porn, but I’ll also be the first to admit that there is an abundance of fake orgasms in the movies, which is definitely a boner-killer for me.  An orgasm is such so wholly erotic experience – both to have and to watch, and I feel totally cheated when someone fakes.  With all that laid out, I’m sure you can see how it would be even more exciting to me that from the very beginning, this Tristan Taormino movie talks about how amazing female orgasms are, and really goes into detail about the different types of orgasms and pleasure.

I know I say it every time I review one for her movies, but honesty, Tristan Taormino does such amazing work!  Whether you are looking at it from an education standpoint, or just as a totally hot porno, her movies are filled with chemistry, real passion and the kind of energy that comes with really enjoying yourself.  Taormino’s brand of sex education has you absorbing the info without even realizing it – or I should say, because you are too turned on to realize that you’ve just learned all this great information.  But it’s still there, even after the heat dies down in your pants.

I feel like it would be to my detriment to even try to pick a favorite scene in this video.  Seriously, all six scenes are packed with super hot sex and more real orgasms than you can shake a vibrator at!  From Katie St. Ives; surprise orgasm in scene 2, to Madison Young screaming in pleasure (scene 4), to Dylan Ryan squirting all over Mr. Marcus’ leg in scene 5 – it was all amazing.  How do you pick your favorite part when all of them have so much rich, amazing action?!  I guess you just have to watch the whole thing and see!

Note that if you are looking to turn it on, get off and get going, this is maybe not the movie you are looking for, as the sexin’ doesn’t even really begin to go down until about 40 minutes into the movie.  But, to quote scene six’s James Deen:  “Watching girls orgasm is so rad,”  so this may be the one to slow you down!  It totally lived up to my expectations and more!

I did a serious double take when I realized that we had never actually given this Jamye Waxman how-to guide a proper write up. Sure, we’ve wrote about it a few times here and there, but when it comes to the sexiest sex educators, we make sure that we check out their awesome instructionals and bring the real deal review to the masses.

And this time around we get Jamye Waxman giving us the low-down on getting down in 101 different positions, all shot on location at the Hedonism II resort in Jamaica. Before we even get into the movie, can I just tell you that when it’s only 20 degrees outside where you are, there is nothing nicer than watching folks fuck outside in the sunshine on outdoor beds. It’s all about living vicariously!

To sum up everything I am about to say in one sentence – this movie is really fucking awesome! Not a porno in the traditional sense, this 2011 AVN Award Nominee for Best Educational Release features couples fucking, but none of the climax, close-ups or hardcore moaning that we’ve come to expect with porn.

Instead of all that, we get three real couples demonstrating 101 various positions, all while Waxman gives us a play by play of how to get into the position, why it’s awesome, and how to modify it to help with issues like balance or being in one position for too long. Along with these great tips, we also get the aforementioned beautiful sex backdrops, as well as interviews with each of the demonstrating couples.

I also need to make sure to make the distinction that all of the sex featured in this video is penis-in-vagina intercourse, but just note that any of these positions can be done with a strap-on dick as well.

While some instructional flicks can be a little dry, movies touched by Jamye Waxman are anything but boring. She is smart, funny, and knows just how to keep the action super hot as she explains the details from start to finish. What an instructional porno gem! I give this movie two enthusiastic thumbs up and urge you to check out the other videos we have from Jamye Waxman.

Also, please note that I had to really force myself not to make any 101 Dalmatians/doggie style jokes.  Trust me, we are all better off for not hearing them.

Giving head. Going down. Hummer. Sucking off. Blowjob. Fellatio has its share of slang expressions. And why is that? Because it’s a pretty popular pastime in many sexual encounters. But that doesn’t mean everyone knows everything there is to know about getting down and dirty going down. But lucky for us, sexologist Carol Queen returns to the instructional screen to give us all the sexy info on sucking cock. From tips and techniques to anatomy and demos, this 45 minute movie covers a good deal of dick-in-mouth material.

Along with Queen giving us lowdown on going down, real couples and porn performers alike take the stage to give us a demo of exactly how they get it on orally. These sexy romps also include interviews with the performers, discussing how they enjoy giving and receiving fellatio. The conversations definitely round out the instructional experience, while the visuals keep the action nice and engaging.

I love that Dr. Queen takes a minute to discuss how male anatomy is homologous, or structurally corresponding, to female anatomy. I think it’s so important to point out that male and female genital structures start out the same when we are in the womb; and as they form and change, the tissue moves to different places, but it is the same tissue. Knowing that is helpful in figuring out the most sensitive parts of folks’ bits. I also love that Queen is quick to talk about phalluses and not just penises – the phallus being the clit, transman cock, etc. Basically – I just love Carol Queen.

While this movie may not be as porn-sexy as other instructionals I’ve seen, I definitely enjoyed the added conversations and totally recommend this flick to folks who want to bone up on their blowjobs!
