1 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money, February 2, 2005
Reviewer:
No Real Name Badge Guy (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
I seldom find myself in such complete agreement with one-star reviews,
but with this piece of junk, the other reviewers have hit it right on
the head. I'll try to provide a bit more and different details (in a
non-inappropriate fashion) and hope this review won't get censored for
well, PG to PG-13 language and content; it is a so-called educational
DVD for adults regarding adult content, so no one should find this
review offensive (except perhaps the DVD's producers and actors).
First, while the credits for this DVD claim to have been originally
from 1991 and revised in 2002, I don't think any of the "learning"
segments were filmed after Reagan's first term at the White House. Big
hair, lame polyester clothes, non-artfully applied makeup - unlike
most retrospectives to the 1980's, this one doesn't even feature any
catchy pop tunes. While the subject of this DVD is what people do when
they're not wearing clothes, which should be relatively timeless, I
nonetheless found it dated to the point of being unappealing.
Also, the actors were not particularly inspirational. I think they
were supposed to be "real" couples, but I kind of doubt it - some
looked like porn stars and not very aesthetically pleasing ones at
that. One of the guys is one of the most evil looking persons I've
ever seen - the serial killer look really doesn't promote a romantic
atmosphere, at least not in my house.
The hostess and host of the show (who probably normally are hawking
junk on the 2-4 a.m. timeslot on a shopping network) tell us about
scenarios involving six different couples experiencing sexual
problems, interspersed with commentary from some individuals with
mental health and or sociology backgrounds represented to be experts
in human sexuality. The scenarios all involve one or both of the two
following problems: the woman is unhappy, inhibited and dissatisfied
with the lack of intimacy and the man's slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am
approach to lovemaking; or else the couple's love life has grown
stale.
So what do they recommend? Some revolutionary solution or mind-blowing
techniques from the long-lost, secret final chapter to the Kama Sutra,
you ask? Nope. They recommend better communication and more intimate
kissing, cuddling and foreplay. They tell you that both men and women
appreciate oral sex and changing positions. They also recommend
spicing up your love life by varying locations in or outside of the
home. That's it folks. These "solutions" are so basic and obvious that
a genuinely chaste nun could have given you that advice.
I'm guessing that anyone interested in this sort of instructional DVD
wants to learn interesting, exciting and unique techniques, variations
and positions. This video doesn't have any of that. No instructions,
no toys, no games, just the very most basic basics. I'd say it's rated
X, not XXX - not blatant hardcore, but it does show the acts and
organs and probably would be offensive to right-wing/fundamentalist
religious types. If the actors were actually demonstrating any
particular techniques, I would say that too much of the photography is
from too far of a distance or a non-direct angle such as to render the
scene less than helpful, but the creators of this DVD have eliminated
that issue by not having the actors actually teach anything.
In summary, there are DVD's to buy, DVD's to rent and DVD's that make
you wonder why they were made in the first place. Better Sexual
Techniques fits in that third category. It appears on first glance at
least that some of the more "advanced" DVD's in the Sinclair Intimacy
Institute's The Better Sex Video Series may be more useful or
interesting (at least one of the above reviewers makes this comment,
so why is he/she giving Volume 1 the higher marks earned by Volumes 2
and 3?), but this Volume 1 DVD will have the same effect on your
expectations as going to an exclusive wine tasting event and being
served Thunderbird out of a paper bag. Avoid.
Ok, I'm back, I've seen some of the subsequent four and five star
reviews and I genuinely think those "reviewers" were actually from the
DVD's production company, were actors in the DVD or otherwise have a
financial interest in boosting the sales of this pathetic piece of
dung. Maybe, just maybe they came from a highly religious background
that makes virtually all sex a taboo subject (and hence found this
educational), but I doubt it. Notice how they gush praise but don't
explain what about the video they found helpful or useful? That's the
sign of a questionable review. You can learn a lot more about
sexuality and a mutually enjoyable sexual relationship from the latest
edition of the venerable book Our Bodies, Ourselves. Plan on skipping
this video unless you're dying to flush $15 down the toilet.

1 out of 5 stars For teenagers, the inexperienced, and inhibited only,
June 28, 2004
Reviewer:
A viewer (Long Island NY)
I don't want to denigrate anyone who needs this video. Some people
have a problem with intimacy (ie. the verbal kind) and they may gain a
lot of insight from this series and learn to communicate with their
partner by watching it together. I can see it being an extremely
valuable tool in this case. However, I don't consider myself to be any
great lover, and I learned LESS THAN NOTHING from this series. I
purchased it hoping I could learn something new to improve my
technique. I DIDN'T! TRUST ME. If you have ever had a sexual
relationship where the sex improved over time, you have already
advanced past the entire series. Take what you learned from that
previous (or current) relationship, and work on building trust with
your current or future partners to the point where you can talk
candidly and frankly about what you both want, need, and think feels
good. This video series CANNOT HELP YOU! If you are nervous about
talking to your partner, or they don't respond to your attempts to
open a dialogue, then this video series is for you and I have no doubt
AT ALL it will help. It will be money very well spent.
Cheers

5 out of 5 stars It truly helped , July 2, 2005
Reviewer:
MsKane (Mebane, NC) - See all my reviews
I have been married for 10+ years and our sex life was ok but we were
looking to spice things up. Then a friend of mine suggested this video
set and boy did it help!
It was great watching a video that has REAL couples in it. People who
look like me and not models. What's great is that the positions that
they show, you don't have to be a gymnist to do...even we could do
them!
I had never tried toys before and after watching volume 3, I bought my
first one. This tape told me it was ok to talk about what I want out
of sex and about my fantasies.

4 out of 5 stars Very good information!, March 27, 2005
Reviewer:
Shoshannah (Phila, PA) - See all my reviews
I was given this video as a gift a year ago and then decided to buy
another one to give as a gift to a friend at her bridal shower. I
bought the entire three volume series and put them into a whole gift
basket. If a couple can't communicate about sex what hopes do they
have in making their relationship work- right? There is no way anybody
can watch this and not pick up one new helpful hint or be reassured
that what they do is "normal". Maybe this is not for the "advanced"
but it surely for the rest of us!

4 out of 5 stars Series Helped, March 20, 2005
Reviewer:
Sparky "Married Guy" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
I found Volume I of this three part series pretty fundemental too, but
I learned a lot from Volumes II and III. Just watching these videos
with my wife of twenty years helped us have a much needed conversation
about our love life. That was worth the price of admission for us.

1 out of 5 stars Sex Techniques for Virgins ONLY!, September 19, 2004
Reviewer:
Maddtanker "Maddtanker" (Iraq) - See all my reviews
If you have at least had sex one time in your entire life, you have
mastered this video, now adays, this could be a sex education film for
6th grade elementery school children and even then, they probally know
more about what to do then this video could teach the.
