Going over everything from how to ask her out to how to seal the deal, Amy's rundown is relatively thorough (well, as thorough as you can be in a six step listicle). Worried you won't have the chance to meet—let alone snog—Ms. Green? Fear not: even in the very likely situation that you and Amy remain thousands of miles (and many leagues) apart, we feel fairly certain that her words of wisdom will work equally well on other lasses. And even if they don't, well, at least the advice comes with some sexy pictures of Amy...so it's not a total wash.

We're especially crushed out on—well, actually, we kinda have crushes on everyone in the video (that's allowed, right?). We've pulled a sample clip for you (at left)—if it leaves you feeling hot and bothered, check out the full video at Hulu.

Anal sexpert and Crush Object Extraordinaire Tristan Taormino has just released "The Anal Sex Position Guide," which, well, offers couples advice on different positions to try when you're embracing the backdoor.

But this book is more than just an Ass-a Sutra (if you will): more than just a picture book of butt sex positions, "The Anal Sex Position Guide" is a full on tutorial discussing everything a couple needs to know before venturing into anal play—whether they're exploring his ass or hers, using a penis or a strap-on. Anatomy, safer sex, communication, lubrication, and sex toys are all thoroughly discussed—as are many other tips and pointers we wouldn't even have thought to include (like why Anal-Eze is bad, and what to do, or not do, about butt hair).

Rounding out the volume are a handful of erotic "inspiration" stories from some of our favorite erotica authors, and, of course, many, many hot pictures to illustrate the various positions discussed within the book (we've thoughtfully included a few samples below).

Whether you'd like to dip your toe into the waters of butt play, or are looking to spice up an already active anal sex life, "The Anal Sex Position Guide" is an absolute must buy. And even if you aren't into the ass at all, we still recommend taking a look. This might be the volume that makes you change your mind.

Yes, what the Playboy Kama Sutra lacks in fidelity to the original text, it more than makes up for in, uh, lingerie-clad centerfolds groping each other. We'd thought there was no way to improve on such a classic work... but once again, Playboy proved us wrong.

And not only have they created this helpful video, they've made it even more helpful by eliminating any distraction from, say, stray boobs, or a naked male body, dressing the demo male in a skintight, full body leotard that exposes only the penis, and the penis alone—you know, to really highlight the penis for better demonstration purposes. Brilliant!

These two should take their show on the road. Can you imagine how good they'd be at teaching all those other penis-related lessons? (Answer: totally awesome.)

Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Handjobs for Men & Women

Studio: Vivid
Cast: Penny Flame, Harmony, Justice Young, Anthony Rosano

Review by: Gram Ponante

Ms. Flame proves an excellent teacher in "Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Handjobs for Men & Women," which delivers the sexy without skimping on the science.

Appearing before a multi-ethnic and multigenerational classroom, Flame whips out the visual aids, both tasteful black-and-white drawings and flesh-and-blood subjects Harmony and Justice Young, to demonstrate that handjobs are more than masturbation plus distance.

Flame emphasizes lube, hand hygiene, and taking it slow (but firm) with guest Harmony, who allows Flame to squeeze her labia together for the hushed onlookers ("Don't go straight for the clit before it's warmed up," Flame tells you sternly). But tragedy strikes when Justice Young appears for the male component, because Flame only gets him hard - she doesn't allow a release. That, my friends, is not Justice.

And this is the only drawback to the movie. The 30-minute classroom portion is filmed and edited like an infomercial for softcore late-night cable, with all the applause sound effects, approving audience shots, cheesy voiceover, and canned music. The artifice threatens to overwhelm the naturally compelling Flame and make her seem like more of a prop, when in fact her teaching style - when she's allowed to do it - is helpful and personable.

The infomercial gives way to several annotated hardcore scenes, including one with Flame and Anthony Rosano, that fill out the DVD.

The adult industry veteran (and the power behind Jenna Jameson's throne) "hopes to bring hope and salvation to the countries growing unemployed and laid-off workers"—all for the low, low price of just $69.69. And that's not just for the book: you'll also get four bonus gifts, including "top secret email" and "private tele-course"!

How could you possibly refuse this once in a lifetime offer?

But since we've been impressed by the previous installments of the Expert Guide series, we figured we'd give this one a shot. And, true to form, Tristan impressed us with her efforts. Rather than setting itself up as the end all, be all of threesomology, the "Expert Guide to Threesomes" acts more as a general guide to group sex.

In the educational intro, Tristan explains different threesome configurations, lays out some basic rules, and goes over different roadblocks and pitfalls encountered by couples looking to have a threesome. While its no guarantee of a problem-free debut into the world of group sex, the "Expert Guide" is a good way for couples to open up a discussion about going beyond a twosome—and even if end up deciding that the threeway isn't your way, you'll still get to watch some hot group sex porn.

In partnership with Real Productions (the team behind Playboy TV's "The Boy Nexxt Door"), Cheri will be offering ordinary readers like you—yes, you—the chance to debut in a Real Productions video. There's just one catch: while they're helping you break into the jizz biz (and a few Cheri models too, heh), they'll also be documenting your foray into porn in their brand new "Put You In Porn" column. But hey, how could that possibly go wrong?

And now, after all that build up, we finally have a copy of "Penny Flame's Expert Guide To Handjobs for Men and Women" in our hands (heh). Was it worth the wait? Our impressions (and a preview gallery) after the jump.

In many ways, Penny Flame's take on the "Expert Guide" series really is the best of both worlds: Penny is an eager (and adorable!) teacher, and her warm and funny screen presence and hands-on demonstrations add a lot to the experience. There's certainly something to be said for a teacher who's willing to show as well as tell, if you know what we mean.

As with all of Tristan's Vivid-Ed releases, "Expert Guide to Hand Jobs" features some extremely hot sex scenes that demonstrate just how sexy hands can be (and how proper hand play can help pave the way for other forms of sexy stimulation, too). If you're in a learning mood, watch the scenes with instruction — Penny's voiceovers guide you through different techniques, while Penny Pop-Ups (a Penny-fied take on the trademark Vivid-Ed pop-ups) wander onscreen to offer specific tips and tricks. Already learned your lesson? Watch the scenes without instruction — they're hot enough to stand on their own, too.

While many of the Penny-fied touches are endearing and adorable, at times there's just a little too much cutesy humor. The feature opens with a faux infomercial advertising Penny's skills (complete with co-star testimonials); while funny, it's also a bit over the top and feels unnecessary — especially as the joke is repeated several times throughout the feature.Though the Penny Flame humor certainly livens things up, in excess it's ultimately more distracting than entertaining, and detracts from an otherwise excellent piece of eduporn.

"Penny Flame's Expert Guide" series certainly shows promise, and we have high hopes for future releases (especially the one about rough sex!). We just hope that in her future releases she's able to tone the cutesy jokes down just a smidge and let her natural charm, educational skills, and the hot, hot sex scenes carry the film on their own.

Thankfully, Nina Hartley is here to offer her assistance, in the form of "Nina Hartley's Guide To Bondage Sex." With the help of bondage model and expert Claire Adams, Nina walks bondage beginners through all the basics of getting down and dirty while bound ... and throws in some super hot sex scenes by way of illustration.

Depending on your expectations, your enjoyment of the film may vary. For one thing, this is definitely some education with a side of porn and not the other way around: the film goes a full half hour without anyone getting naked, and the sex scenes themselves are heavily laced with instruction and tips.

Additionally, the film focuses on women tying up women and men tying up women, without a single bound man in sight. Yes, there are elements of bondage that are universal, and the film offers helpful insights for anyone looking to get bound and gagged. But if you're hoping for, say, some serious cock and ball torture action, this isn't the flick for you.

Nerds that we are, we still enjoyed learning the ins and outs of bondage sex—like what positions are best, how to tie a good knot, and all the fun little bondage gadgets. But we'd still recommend viewing this video when you're in a learning mood, not a fapping mood. You're bound to get something good out of watching the video, but it just might not be until after you've watched it, when you're putting Nina's lessons to good use.
