Great sexual massage DVD for couples, January 31, 2007
I finally got the DVD player hooked up in my bedroom - something that I highly suggest couples doing - and finally got some alone time to watch my assigned DVDs. Today's assignment was Ultimate Massage, The Art of Sexual Touch. This is one of the Loving Sex instructional videos, and since I had read Jenne's review of Lover's Massage I was curious how this video was different from the one she watched.
The is a 60 minute video which opens with a scene where a wife meets her husband at the door, telling him she has a special Christmas present for him. They then rush from the door to the bedroom and pop in the tape. The opening was a bit abrupt, but I suppose they had to get to watching the video somehow. Once in the bedroom with the tape running, we are allowed to see the video they are watching with begins with an introduction by Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld, the author of the famous best seller MALE SEXUALITY. There was one statement he made that I thought captured the essence of this video. "Erotic massage is a way to wake up the sexual sensual self. Sensual massage is not foreplay. The goal is not intercourse. The goal is not even orgasm. If you happen to have intercourse before, during, or after your sensual massage, that's fine. But that's not really the goal. The goal is simply to experienced pleasure."
The main difference between the Ultimate Massage video and the Lover's Massage video is that I believe the Ultimate Massage video is more intimate. While the Lover's Massage focuses on whole body massage, the Ultimate Massage video centers primarily on genital massage. The video is broken down into five parts: erotic frontal massage, Male genital massage, female genital massage, practice erotic frontal massage, and practice genital massage.
The first scene is the woman massaging the man. While instructions are given in the background, the woman follows through with the actions. It's quite sexy to watch how she strokes and touches his body, including the different things she does to his penis. Now in all honesty, if I had read the instruction in a book without seeing the video, I might have thought some of the suggestions could cause discomfort - The Serpent, for example (you'll have to watch the video to find out what it is). But when the instructions are given and I saw her carry them out, it made a connection in my brain that said, "Okay, that's what they mean." Then the video changes and we see the man carry out much of the same things that were done to the woman, along with explicit direction on vaginal massage and instructions on finding her g-spot - which I felt would be very helpful to some viewers.
After he has finished, our couple watching the video turns it off and they proceed to try out all the things they learned. It's not exactly the same, but it helps to reinforce all the different moves, and it shows you a couple of different ways to change the routine without affecting the eventual outcome - which is to please your lover. I do admit that I love the fact that these people appear to be really enjoying themselves. When he's giving her the g-spot massage you see her body twitch and jump, you hear her moans, just like it happens in real life. And when she is giving him the penis massage you actually see him ejaculate - not the cheesy sort of porn money shot, but a tasteful depiction of a man enjoying himself to orgasm.
What's it all add up to?
I think this is a great video for couples wanting to learn how to better explore their lover's bodies and for those who have a goal to just bring pleasure to their partners. This is not the kind of video that centers on `getting your own.' This is about using your senses, especially touch to tease and arouse your partner. I would highly recommend it.

SUPERB SEXUAL MASSAGE, February 4, 2003
By A Customer
The "Ultimate Massage" video is like opening the door to a sensuous sharing of sensations. In the privacy of your own home you can enjoy life in it's most pure essence..., touch. This is an adventure for couples who desire greater intimacy with each other.
"Ultimate Massage: the Art of Sexual Touch" video has the structure of real time with a couple who are having a bedroom date at Christmas. When he arrives home in his business suit she greets him in a little red sheer teddy. They kiss passionately then go to the bedroom where she puts the video on. They sit embracing on their bed and watch the video.
A sexy saxophone soundtrack begins. There is a brief introduction by Psychologist Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld who is has been a leader in the fields of human sexuality and sex therapy for over 25 years. The massage continues and Dr. Zilbergeld narrates, "Erotic massage is a way to wake up the sensual self. This is not foreplay. The goal is not intercourse or orgasm. The goal is to experience pleasure. Good massage needs preparation: set aside time, make a date with your partner, and prepare the space."
The real time couple starts to relax. She removes his tie. They kiss. The erotic massage continues as does Dr. Zilbergeld's essential directions on how to make the most out of this by appealing to all your senses. "Gather your sensual toys together. Relax. Massage is communication with touch, so save words for another time."
All of the elements are included: taste, touch, smell, sight, and sounds. It is clearly demonstrated to you how to arouse your lover with feathers, scarves, and skin to skin sensations. Directions are delightful to follow with graphic imagery that invites your participation. The tight view of the camera on key erogenous zones together with the music ranging from full orchestra to piano solos to new age runs the spectrum of soft to climactic.
A unique parallelism is created by having several couples: a few couples to demonstrate fearlessly and the one real time couple to watch them demonstrate on video. The beauty of this design is that one may well share the uncertainty of new beginnings with the real time couple as well as their actual point of relaxation and ultimate climax. "Ultimate Massage" is the complete explicit version.
Continuity is strong throughout. Between the seductive music selections, clear narration, great photography and romantic settings you'll find yourself easily in sync with the pleasure discovered and shared. This is a must see for all couples regardless of where you may be in that relationship with your significant other. Leave no stone unturned, no zone untouched, especially that of your lover's. Even those who consider themselves experienced may find new territories and ideas here. Not a single spot is missed. Dr. Zilbergeld has been a guest on hundreds of radio and TV shows including Donahue, Oprah, Today, Charles Gordin, CBS Morning News, and Sonya Live. He is the author of the famous best seller "Male Sexuality" and its successor, "The New Male Sexuality." He gives lectures on various aspects of sexuality, as well as courses for professionals and lay people alike.Regina Woods

OK I GUESS, June 26, 2007
The title should be Ultimate Sex Organ Massage. The entire 60 minutes of this video pretty much focuses on how to give a hand job (on a limp noodle most of the time) and how to finger your partner (some of which looked a little painful). If that's what you're looking for then I guess that's a good thing.
I probably should have purchased Lovers Massage from this series instead of Sexual Massage since the other review on here said Lovers Massage focused on whole body massage rather than strictly genital massage.
As far as production, its a fairly well done video and a whole lot classier and more sensual than porn. (Porns pretty sick if you ask me) There's nothing gross about the actors, even in the extreme close ups. I guess I would recommend it if you don't think 60 minutes of genital massage would seem drawn out to you. Otherwise, I would go with Lovers Massage like I probably should have.
