The lovely and intelligent Tristan Taormino narrates The Expert Guide to Positions|The Expert Guide to Positions, a DVD which covers our favorite standbys and dozens of sexy variations. I adore sex-ed which covers all the bases from "extremely educational" to "wildly erotic," and this film gives it all.

You can choose to view the film in a couple different ways. As you're learning the positions, watch with the narration turned on. The view also includes pop-up bubbles with extra hints and tips. Later, watch the scenes without narration for more of an arousing experience.

The DVD contains two bonus scenes as well as a primer on safer sex. I was fascinated to see demonstrations of dental dams, plastic wrap and even a tongue condom created from a rubber glove. I'm not exactly sure when I'll be needing a tongue condom; nevertheless, the film managed the difficult task of making the use of these items appear incredibly sexy.

Taormino's narration is interesting and informative. She points out benefits and drawbacks of each position, as well as what body types would work best. For each position, she describes how to get the most pleasure from various penis types.

The performers had great chemistry together, which is true of all the Tristan Taormino films|Chemistry Adult DVD review I've seen thus far. However, this is a film aimed squarely at heterosexual couples. While many if not all of the positions could be adapted for girl/girl or boy/boy use, none of these pairings are shown or discussed in the film.

Also, some might find the pop-up bubbles annoying and distracting. The seemed to show up right over the performer's naughty bits at exactly the most crucial moments. I was glad to find that each scene was also available without bubbles.

Informative and sexy, The Expert Guide to Positions should find a place on any homegrown sexpert's porn shelf.
