Advanced Sexual Techniques & Positions

This movie is a great choice for anyone interested in seeing real couples explore sexual techniques and positions together. Don't let the word "advanced" in the title intimidate you. The film focuses on communication as a way to enhance sexual pleasure rather than showcasing any acrobatic sexual positions, and does not require any advanced sexual experience to take something away from it. Techniques and positions may be considered "advanced" in the sense that some may require practice to integrate comfortably into play, but this is true of most everything related to sex, from using barriers and condoms to introducing toys during partner sex.

Delivered in an accessible and more contemporary-styled format, the film begins with a brief discussion of anatomy, orgasm, and libido narrated by a host, with occasional input from health professionals. Continuing with the topics of foreplay, including erotic talk, sensual touch, kissing and oral sex, the film emphasizes learning to feel comfortable asking your partner what turns them on, and encourages partners to openly share what feels good to them. The movie includes sex scenes with a diverse group of people to illustrate main ideas and techniques. The scenes take place on sets styled to replicate the atmosphere of a romantic boudoir, and include the narration of the couples describing what techniques work for them and how they communicate their desires with one another.

The film concludes with an overview of sex positions, borrowing some of its language from the Kama Sutra. Access to genitals, emotional connection between partners, and the ability to control the depth of penetration are among the major themes this portion covers. Couples demonstrate how toys may be incorporated into sex play, and what positions might be useful for partners with restricted mobility or back pain.

There are two brief scenes that include male and female anal penetration; the male with a finger, and the female with an anal toy. In both scenes the film discusses anal penetration as something that could be incorporated during oral sex.

The film takes a more formal approach to the discussion of sexual technique and positions, and is oriented toward heterosexual couples. Overall, the film covers a large amount of information in a relatively short period of time, so it is most useful as a general overview of techniques and as a source for new ideas.
