Guide to Bondage Sex

This represents one of the very best of Nina Hartley's sex education videos for Adam & Eve, offering authoritative and useful information to potential practioners of bondage sex. Claire Adams proves to be an ideal co-host, offering a wealth of professional expertise, especially important to the novice.

FIrst emphasis is on basic principles like consent and safety, as well as putting the topic into context. Nina is concerned with bondage as an aid to sexual intercourse, not more exotic forms, making the video of interest to a wider audience. Historical and cultural issues are discussed in the duo's introductory half-hour lecture together, as well as dispelling the most common myths about BDSM, such as equating it with violence or sadism.

The pair next present 50 minutes of lesbian sex, notable for carefully showing how rope expert Claire ties Nina up into uncomfortable but artistic restraint positions. The sex is sensual and graphic, incorporating dildos and vibrators, and visually highlighted by fetish gear.

Program concludes with an acted-out threesome involving Trinity Post (one of my all-time favorite performers) and Van Damage, with Claire on board as an active participant rather than a third wheel.
