Expert Guide to Fellatio at Babeland.com $35.00

Let me start out by saying that I have never been a huge fan of porn. I wasn’t opposed to it and I liked the idea of incorporating it into sex with Chad or masturbation, but the more I watched the more I became turned off by it all. As I became more involved in reviewing sex toys I started stumbling across instructional videos for all sorts of things and I also heard wonderful things about Tristan Taormino as a director. A few weeks ago Babeland offered up her Expert Guide to Oral Sex: Fellatio. It’s the second half of a two-part series on oral sex. The first part being based on Cunnilingus.

If you didn’t already know, fellatio is the more technical term for oral sex that is preformed on a penis. It’s also known as a blow job or giving head. This movie is an instructional DVD directed and narrated by Tristan Taormino, a popular feminist porn director who is very well known within the reviewing community.

The movie begins in a ‘fellatio workshop’ with Tristan dressed professionally and talking to the small crowd about the penis. She has charicature styled drawings and diagrams of it that she uses to describe all of the parts of the male anatomy. No part of the penis goes unmentioned and she even has a special diagram to discuss uncircumcised penises. Once she’s done she invites Roxy Deville (who is absolutely, stunningly gorgeous) and Christian (who is easy on the eyes as well) in for a brief interview. She discusses the different things that they enjoy about fellatio and what they think makes it better. Then she asks Christian to get ‘a little more naked’ so they can demonstrate some techniques on real anatomy for the work shop.

Yes.

Roxy gives Christian a blow job in front of about 15 people in a workshop. I guess it’s not too different considering all of the cameramen and directors on a porn set, but it still was a little awkward. The film focuses, most of the time, on what’s going on during the blow job and Tristan is speaking the entire time about what should be going on. She talks about using lube and your hands to get him worked up, teasing him with your tongue and lips and really enjoying what you’re doing. They occasionally pull the camera back and you see that Tristan is seated on the end of the couch while she’s giving all of the instruction. Roxy follows along with the directions as she’s prompted.

After the workshop, the movie goes into separate, more private settings. Each scene has a brief interview with the actors before they head into the bedroom. Though Tristan isn’t sitting on the end of the bed, she’s still giving instruction throughout each scene. There are also title screens throughout each scene when there is a position change or new technique as well as pop ups with little tips. It’s kind of reminiscent of VH1′s ‘Pop Up Video’. For your first run through, these are great, but the scenes can be watched without the instruction and pop ups easily if you select the right option from the main menu. In this mode the movie watches more like a porn, with each scene finishing with the orgasm. With the instruction on the orgasms are edited to the very end of the entire movie.

In the first bedroom scene, Kaiya Lynn and Alec Knight are paired up to demonstrate various positions you can give blow jobs in. Lindsay Meadows and Marcos Leon show some techniques for uncircumcised penises in the second scene. Alec reappears in the third scene with Adrianna Nicole for some advanced techniques, like deep throating. Roxy and Christian come back for the finale on the edge of a bath tub. In each scene the actors have loads of chemistry together. They genuinely enjoy themselves and it shows.

Some of the awesome features with this movie are, of course, the fact that you can turn off the instruction if you would like to. That way it has a lot of replay value and doesn’t wind up being something you bought and can only use once. You can choose which scenes to watch, so if you’d rather skip to your favorite couple you can do that. There are behind the scenes clips and interviews with the cast. It’s kind of fun to get to know a little more about the actors and actresses and to see what goes on during a porn shoot. My favorite extra is the lube tasting party. Adrianna, Tristan and Kaiya are all sitting on a bed as if they’re at a sleep over, but they’re tasting samples of flavored lubes.

There are three mini-features. Roxy and Christian demonstrate prostate stimulation during a blow job. They showcase a toy designed for it and talk about how to use it. Lindsay and Marcos do a little more playing with his uncircumcised penis. And Adrianna and Alec do one on safer sex, talking about how you can use condoms for blow jobs.

I really enjoyed this movie, which was surprising considering my previous opinion of porn. I liked it so much that I picked up the Expert Guide to the G-Spot from a local store when I was shopping. If you’re curious about ways to pleasure your partner during oral sex or self conscious about anything you’re doing, you can pick up a copy of this at Babeland.com. They’ve also got the Cunnilingus (oral sex preformed on vulvas a.k.a. eating pussy) version as well as a guide to anal sex, the g-spot movie I picked up and other instructional movies. You should head on over and browse their selection of adult DVD’s!
