Posted by Lexi B in How To Guide, Uncategorized on Jan 17th, 2010 | 4 responses

Babeland.com chose a lucky few “vibrator experts” to review the Midori’s Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage video, so as you can imagine our excitement when we received this one! My love for BDSM had me really excited to get started on this sex educational video. I must admit watching “instructional porn” is a turn on . It’s Sex Ed for a whole new generation.

Who’s Behind this Hot BDSM Instructional Video?

Midori’s Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage is from Vivid Entertainment and Smart Ass Productions. Directed by Tristan Taormino and written and hosted by Sex Expert and Author Midori. Sex expert Midori introduces couples to the world of adventurous sex by sharing her vast knowledge about one of the most intimate activities: Sensual bondage. With fun, useful tips and tricks, she show’s you step-by-step how to tie up your lover to take your sexual experiences to the next level.

Sex Expert Midori is an acclaimed writer and lecturer on a wide range of sexual topics and has vast experience as a pioneering San Francisco sex educator. A regular advice columnist for Men’s Health, Midori has appeared on HBO and BBC, and has been featured in Vogue, Playboy, Der Spiegel, Cosmo and more. She’s also the author of two of my favorite bestselling books “The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage” and “Wild Side Sex”.

This video, directed by Tristan Taormino, features dramatic role playing.

In Midori’s Guide to Sensual Bondage, each woman shares her most intimate desires, tests her own boundaries, and rides the seductive line between pleasure and pain. The couples take charge of bringing their scenarios to life. Watching a Taormino film you get to witness female sexuality at its most extreme: raw, rough, and real.

I studied the DVD long and “hard” and somehow managed to take notes although my eyes were glued to the TV without so much as a blink. I also made side notes on what I was planning to do with my honey. I love being in control and he just as much loves taking commands.

Midori really knows her stuff. A Sex expert and world-class bondage expert after my own heart and Director Tristan has gained so much respect in my eyes as a female director, she has definetly carved a niche in the industry and knows first hand how her actors feel.

Taormino is quickly changing the porn industry with her fresh approach to real women, real orgasms. No outrageous stunts. No degradation. Instead, the focus is on fresh and accessible performers, hot, spontaneous sex, real chemistry and real orgasms for everyone.

1st Scene – Introduction: Midori’s Bondage Workshop

I didn’t care for the promos at the beginning and quite frankly annoyed me and I quickly fast-forwared. Midori starts the introduction by talking about why people like bondage. She talks about the importance of communication when delving into bondage in a relationship, I personally think this is key in any couples first hand at beginner’s bondage and can make a huge difference in the experience.

She offers hot BDSM Advice Such As:

You should remove contacts before blindfolding someone
Creative suggestions for incorporating everyday household items like a simple robe tie for tying your partner.
Instructions for the Midori scraf harness in a hot bonus scene. (By the way, I will be mastering this technique and can’t wait to try this one out the next time around). It’s especially a nice feature if you don’t have a trunk full of bondage tools, a simple scarf can make it just as a much a naughty bondage experience as a pair of cozy cuffs would.

She also discusses safety which is pretty important and in my sexpert opinion should go hand in hand with communication prior to the techniques. Knowing how tight or lose your restraints or collar should be is key, and this approach can make a couple’s experience much more satisfying . It is also one reason Midori is a class act (and not to mention makes instructional porn refreshing).

2nd Scene : Adrianna and Mark, Instructional Portion with Midori

Midori introduces bondage equipment to the couple, and both Adrianna and Mark seem engaged and enjoying each other. Midori shows Mark several bondage techniques first with scarves then with bondage restraints. Adrianna seemed to enjoy being restrained and comfortable with taking direction.

3rd Scene: Adrianna and Mark’s Sex Scene

Mark in this scene was the Dominant or as Midori puts it the “top” and Adrianna seemed to enjoy it as the “bottom.” It starts with Mark restraining Adrianna in a “spread eagle” format with ankle and wrist restraints with the use of bungee cords under the mattress, a tip well noted and on my BDSM to do list Mark slapping, licking and sucking her vagina til she orgasmed was quite the turn on, and I almost forgot I was taking notes.

Mark seems very turned on by pleasing her orally and made for a hotter scene. I think Mark should make a “how to give her oral pleasure” book! I would be the first in line to have him sign my copy. Adrianna seemed to enjoy this, which made the act last a little longer than I would have liked, but nevertheless it was nice to see him focused on what turned her on. He also fingered her, both anally and vaginally, and he fucked her quite hard. She gives him head however, nothing special or worth noting. Adrianna is quite good at playing the submissive role, and her flirtatious eyes and gazes makes the couples interaction seem more real and not acted out. She is good at being the receiver of lots of pleasure.

4th Scene: Madison and Danny’s Sex Scene

Madison and Danny waste no time and get right to the action! First, it starts out with Danny as Madison’s Dominant, and he’s out the gate like a pro. Madison seems to love the submissive role with her eyes closed. There is some anal penetration which Madison seems to enjoy then roles are switched where Madison puts a blindfold on Danny and rides him like she’s on a bucking Bronco. This couple had much hotter chemistry, and it seemed more natural. They are a younger couple and very much into one another, which was a nice turn on.

BDSM Rating:

4 out 5 stars and well worth the purchase.

Midori’s Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage, directed by Tristan Taormino, is hot in my Sexpert opinion. Weather you’re a novice or a beginner this video is beneficial for all. Viewers have the option of watching the scenes with instruction or without (or both, of course). The scenes with instruction feature narration by Midori, on-screen graphics that highlight creative tips and tricks to help guide the viewer in the learning experience.

The scenes without instruction are edited more like traditional sex scenes, except with a focus on the connection between partners, female pleasure and orgasm, and sensuality. As experienced as I am in bondage I learned a few tricks and tips myself, and watching the scenes without instructions the second time around made for a hotter “sexperience” with my honey. I was also impressed by the toy use. This was my favorite features for obvious reasons. The only “buzz kill” in my opinion was the lack of scene options, I would have liked to see a few more sex scenes with hot couples but overall a definite “lust have.”

Reviewing a “How to” video was a nice break from the usual review so thank you Babeland we can’t wait for the next one. Not only educational but well thought out and executed and I look forward to more sex instructional videos from this awesome duo and Vivid Entertainment.

Sensually Yours,

Lexi B.
