This DVD as well as the Seductive Sex Positions DVD are MUST BUYS for anyone in a relationship.

I have purchased a number of adult / sex educational DVDs (of US origin) in the past - and usually been disappointed with either the content and / or the quality of the filming or production of these - sending them straight back and vowing never to order such DVDs ever again!

But this DVD (and its predecessor: `Sex Essentials Videos: Seductive Sex Positions' [2005] DVD) caught my eye whilst casually browsing Amazon. These seemed well made, and -clearly - some thought had gone into their design (for example, having a choice of `educational' spoken-word instruction or `sensual' background mood-music is an excellent offering).

But `why?' buy these DVDs? What do they actually achieve? To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure myself at time of purchase - other than, like some other reviewers - I was simply searching for that illusive `new' inspiration to give (just a little) spice to an otherwise perfectly enjoyable and successful loving physical relationship with my wife over the past 18 years.

But the `answer' came in the first few minutes of the introduction, where our hosts (quite correctly) point out that, whilst many couples have had (and continue to have) successful, loving sex; many (and I am happy to be completely honest when I say that we definitely fall into this category) end-up only employing a small fraction of a vastly greater selection of the possible (and physically achievable) love making positions that are at our disposal (perhaps its lack of time, lack of energy after a tiring day, or simply the hectic pace of modern life which does not leave us enough time for ourselves to indulge in `experimentation' beyond our familiar tried and tested `norm').

These quality DVDs provide a tasteful (but never the less genuinely stimulating) summary of lovemaking positions, usefully categorised into groups such as: `Male Superior' (Man-On-Top), `Female Superior' (Women-On-Top), `Side-By-Side', `Sitting', and `Rear Entry' etc.

Each of these groups is introduced by one of the two attractive hosts (whom I was not personally previously aware of - sorry Ladies! - you obviously haven't broken into the 'UK' yet; but who - never the less - bring a tasteful and professional air to the production, suitably yet sensually dressed, and appropriately scripted). Each group section has a briefly acted `Intro' scene to it - to `set the mood'? - in which a couple prepare themselves for the lovemaking to follow (personally, I did't see the point of these scenes and would have been happy if they had not been included, but that's just my feeling - they may well be of interest to others!).

There are then 5 or 6 individually `named' positions (within each group category), which are tastefully (but not `coldly' or `mechanically') demonstrated by one of three couples appearing on the DVD (a different couple presents a different Group of Positions). Each position's demonstration lasts between 2 to 3 minutes (at the most) before moving on to the next, and each is initially `titled' for ease of navigation / selection. The total programme last approx. 1 hour (each DVD).

After reviewing these DVDs alone (to see exactly what these presentations `were' - and what they `were not'); I then persuaded my wife to view them with me (as she is not usually interested in viewing such material - educational or otherwise).

After a present evening weagreed that - whilst these DVDs will not `revolutionise' our physical love making in one go (we actually discovered that we do actually practice / have practiced many more of these various `variations' than we first gave ourselves credit for!) - these DVDs will most definately provide some fresh and thought-provoking original variants, which we will - with luck - continue enjoy trying in the future.

Only a few `words of warning' (for they are not really `warnings' as such) to prospective purchasers / viewers of these DVDs - which are simply that you should (perhaps) not expect to be able to even attempt - let alone achieve - some of the positions / variations presented here! There is no doubt that - for some - you will need to be very physically fit and have ample stamina (we do NOT!), and also you and your partners' height and physical frame sizes may also be prohibitive (the couples shown are - of cause - `perfect' muscular specimens, in the case of the men, and slim, light, and petit framed nymphs, in the case of the women - far different from many purchasers out here in the `real' world!).

Further, some of the positions / variations shown require (or would greatly benefit from having) certain types of furniture available (as illustrated in the DVDs) - I'm specifically thinking here about a suitably strong low wooden coffee table and a suitably large and robust Kentucky style Wooden Kitchen / Dining Room Chair - you simply may not have such things in your house right now; but (like me) you may soon after be out on a quest to purchase these same items (as shown on these DVDs) after viewing these programmes! (certainly - for me - many of the `best' positions / variations presented on these two DVD programmes involve the use of the `Coffee Table' and / or the `Chair').

Accepting these DVD programmes for what they are and for what you are likely to achieve by owning, viewing, and learning form them; I can honestly recommend these as about the `best' of their type I have seen to date. These will definatley nOT be going back! - they are not only staying in our collection; but are now (quite frequently) played and studied (for both further general 'inspiration' - and also to polish up on our 'technique'!).

These DVDs are offered at a reasonable price, they are well made (filming, editing, and production values are high, these are tasteful - yet incisive), and they will - I am sure - bring something (if only a little) `new' and worthwhile to all - but the most wildly extrovert and physically insatiable - of loving couples (who have probably done ALL there is physically possible to do anyway).

Recommended to all typical, average, normal, and physically fitness-challenged loving couples out there - and may your physical love making find a little more `spice' as a result!

After some horrifying experiences looking at educational dvds that didn't deliver, this DVD was a very welcome suprise. It is very tastefully done, has attractive models, and is very educational without being tacky or pornographic.
I can't fault anything about this, and would certainly purchase another in the series. This is the type of DVD that I wish I had as a teenager curious about sex, but is also very relevant as a thirty-something year old. The positions include both regular and advanced, and have tips on how to increase stimulation and cautions to watch for. It has three main series - male superior, female superior, and a beautiful set of positions using seated positions on a kitchen chair.
The best thing about this DVD is that opposed to other DVDs that you watch once, get the ideas and then have to pass along to a friend, this is one that you can keep as something tasteful to play in the background of the bedroom.

If you are looking for some ideas maybe this is ok but visual execution is not inspiring (video quality is ok and people are good looking): some positions are clearly acted not done actually. I sold this away after couple of days. I've seen better done under category "kama sutra"

This is a well-made video. It is very tastefully done. My wife hates porn, but she thoroughly enjoyed this video. It is arousing and educational. I highly recommend it!

This video is ok. At leat I learned a couple of moves.

This is not to be considered actual porn but there is nudity involved.

Good for exploring sex with your partner

This DVD is okay, I practically knew every positions. This is good for newbies or for the ones who really need help climaxing.

No, totally not a porn video. You won't see the man's pubic area. It is just a video that gives you ideas if you are bored w/ that one position you are always having.
I somehow feel strange when I see one guy having sex on a coffee table w/ the woman. His leg rubbed again the table and it is not hurting?? Some positions are hard. Creative? just ok. Gives me new ideas? well.... i don't remember, not really that impressive. I guess I know most of the positions.

the dvd is top quality . the only thing i didn't like about is about 80 percent of the position they have on there either use bar stool,small table nothing you could use bedroom setting .

I bought this to "spice up" mine and my husbands love making but compared to the couples on this video, we should have been giving them pointers- HOW BORING!!! There was nothing to either of the videos we purchased (Sex Essentials Videos: Seductive Sex Positions) and i would never recommend them to anyone. I have to say, I'm very surprised they were reviewed so highly- as there was NOTHING remotely seductive or erotic about either one.
