Femme a Femme Massage - dvd - review by queertastic

The Femme a Femme Massage Erotic Massage DVD gives the viewer an educational introduction to erotic massage and the benefits of massage. Since this is an all-female cast, this DVD is geared more towards lesbians and their lovers who are wanting to explore the world of erotic massage. However, that being said, this DVD can easily be used by any couple (with one female partner) interested in exploring erotic massage.

This DVD is an educational piece that works to educate the viewers on the art of erotic massage and the female body. The massage therapists in the DVD demonstrate different massage strokes that can be done to the female body to promote closeness, relaxation, and erotic massage. Each stroke has a different name (such as the "V stroke").

This DVD has different sections of massage for each body part. These different sections are as follows:
• Beginning
• Back
• Back of Legs
• Back Side Conclusion
• Arms
• Hands
• Front of Legs
• Feet
• Front Torso
• Genitals
• Neck and Head
• Face
• Conclusion

This DVD was produced by Secret Garden Publishing. The actresses in the DVD were three professional massage therapists and their clients.

The masseuse team featured in the DVD were:

Jaiya
Athena GoldFire
Amber St. Germain
Andrea Johnson
Sayaka Adachi

Jaiya also was the narrator of the DVD.

The DVD menu has a variety of different options for the user to choose from.

These options are:
1. Music Only -- Only music will play, but no commentary
2. Verbal Instruction -- The entire massage will play with only verbal instruction
3. Stroke Selection with Music Only -- A certain stroke may be selected (Beginning, Back, Back of Legs, etc.) with music but no commentary
4. Stroke Selection with Verbal Instruction -- A certain stroke may be selected (Beginning, Back, Back of Legs, etc.) with commentary but no music
5. Special Features -- Gives insight into the lives of the massage therapists

This DVD is only available in widescreen format.

My partner and I disliked four major aspects of this DVD.

First, both the masseuse and the person receiving the massage were nude. We both felt that this was unnecessary and that it decreased the educational value of the DVD.

Second, the person receiving the massage was silent and not giving the masseuse any input into the massage. This aspect of the DVD was a bit frustrating. It can be difficult to read someone's body language when giving a massage if you are unable to see his or her face, but the DVD suggested that the masseuse should be able to read her partner's body language and breathing and not need verbal input into the massage. My partner and I had a lengthy discussion on this fact, and when she gives me a massage (whether it is for relaxation or an erotic massage), we work as a team and give each other input.

Third, the DVD did not cover how to do massage on different body types. All of the women in the DVD were of “average” size by society's standards. I'm a larger woman, and we were hoping to learn techniques to be applied when my partner gives me a massage.

Finally, there is a book that is entitled Femme a Femme Erotic Massage. We feel that the book would have been more helpful and useful than the DVD. See the included link to Secret Garden's website to purchase the book.
