Anal Massage for Lovers is Volume 2 of the series offered by The New School of Erotic Touch. In Volume 1, Anal Massage for Relaxation and Pleasure, relaxing and stimulating anal massage techniques are taught stroke-by-stroke.

Anal Massage for Lovers opens with indigenous-sounding flute and drum music. Viewers are treated to glimpses of the four couples getting off by incorporating anal massage into their lovemaking. The two hours are broken up into five segments; starting off with an introduction (5 min), Rosebud Massage (15 min), Ursula & Tho (19 min), Ben & Joe (25 min), Kitty & Robin (32 min), and Roy & Suz (20 min), finishing off with Resources & Credits. Although the DVD is two hours long, you can view individual sections separately, a real time saver. It's quite inviting and user-friendly: the actors look like ordinary folks and no previous anal experience is required.

Sex educators Carol Queen (Bend Over Boyfriend, The Leather Daddy and the Femme) and Robert Lawrence (EdD in Human Sexuality, The Center for Sex and Culture) provide an informational structure showcasing four passionate couples as they demonstrate anal massage to expand pleasure, deepen intimacy and build trust.

The couples come in varying orientations, races, shapes and sizes. None of them look perfect (think ass pimples and all), so viewers who are inhibited by their own imperfect appearance can relax as they watch the actors get off. They seem genuinely involved in the pleasurable art of anal massage for lovers.

My viewing experience was relaxing and stimulating but the voice-overs by Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence made me feel as though I was in the lab viewing humans in their natural habitat. It was almost like watching Wild Kingdom.
