Indie Porn Review: ‘Kunyaza – African Sex Techniques’

Those of you who religiously read my work (there are tons of you, right?) may remember a post I did back in December about kunyaza, the Rwandan sexual practice meant to bring about multiple female orgasms and I. Am. Obsessed. 

The link I posted in the original article was to a free, shortened, almost trailer-like version of the original video (which I posted above), so I set out to find the uncut version for my indie porn series - and I have succeeded. The full film, directed by Pierre Roshan, is available to buy or rent at eroticfilms.com, one of Erika Lust's sites (I should have known), which I did so that I might be able to give you a full review of this informational porno snack. But first: A refresher on the steps of the kunyaza practice entail: 

0.5. Foreplay! Lots of rubbing, kissing, caressing, dry humping, etc.

1. The man kneels at the foot of the bed (if the bed is low) or on the bed itself, and the woman lies in front of him with her legs spread.

2. He then uses his penis to start rhythmically tapping and gently rubbing her clit. This feels great for both parties! 

3. Once things start getting juicy, the man can start rubbing his penis in more directions over the clit and the vulva: up and down, sided to side, in circles, etc., still alternating with the tapping. If the clit isn't wet on its own, you can also alternate a little oral! 

4. As the vulva gets aroused, it will start to swell and gently open. Then the man can use his fingers to separate the labia further and more directly stimulate the clit. 

5. Once the woman is super wet and swollen, the man can penetrate her halfway, holding onto the base of his cock while he enters her, and then pull out and start rubbing/tapping again. This teases her, making her want nothing more than to get pounded. But you will endure with the practice, won't you? 

6. Still holding the cock at the base, start pulsating a bit and moving your penis in circles while you penetrate her.

7. Keep alternating rubbing/tapping and penetrating. 

8. At this point, you can stick to mostly penetration, alternating shorter and longer strokes, still holding onto the base of your cock while you move your hips in circles. This gets the head of your cock to the level of her G-spot and stimulates all the walls of the vagina. 

9. Orgasms for everyone! 

All right, moving onto the video itself:  

This is instructional - but still arousing

I've said it before and I'll say it again - instructional porn is meant to get you learned in the ways of sex, but not necessarily for masturbating. That doesn't mean it's not arousing to watch, though. As a Vagina Haver, I definitely... felt something while reviewing this piece, probably because it is such an effective practice and I could imagine myself feeling all the sensations the female performer was having. 

The sex most of us are having is really short

Which isn't a bad thing. I love me a quickie, but seeing techniques that lengthen sex to 45 minutes or an hour (or longer)  like this kind is a good reminder to mix up the kind of nookie we're having at home. It takes discipline, which is often treated like a dirty word, but the payoff is obvious: Way more intimacy and way more intense orgasms. At 57 minutes long, this feature is not exactly short, but it is engaging all the way through. 

The voiceover lady did an excellent job. 

I mean, she sounds wonderful. 

The dancing at the beginning feels a little forced, but the foreplay (and general groping) is fantastic

Sexual teasing seems to be a long lost art in American culture, and I don't mean the "I'm going to pretend I want to have sex with you and then never actually do it" way. The foreplay and rubbing, rhythmic motions are extended in a leisurely, luxurious way, and though you can tell both performers are itching to get to it, you can also tell that they understand what teasing themselves (and each other) is doing for their arousal. 

The same is true once the performers start having sex. The act of penetrating once and then going back to tapping creates tangible hunger in both parties, which makes sex so much better in the long run. 

This takes a lot of patience - and a lot of practice 

I can't imagine anyone nails this kind of sex (hah - get it?) on their first try, particularly if you're moving from a more like-they-do-it-on-TV model, but that's OK! Practice makes perfect, and this certainly seems like a fun thing to keep working on in the bedroom. 

No, I wouldn't masturbate to this, but I would watch it with my partner

Like I said, this is much more akin to doing your homework than watching something that's going to get you off, but it was definitely still arousing and would be so fun to watch with a partner. This kind of material is some of my favorite to watch with him, because it has the dual purpose of getting us in the mood and giving us new ideas.

There's a lot of actionable goodness 

For those who don't want to do the full, extended practice outright, fear not - there is definitely a lot of takeaways that you can synthesize into your normal, 20-minute sexual routine: 

1. Rubbing and/or tapping on your partner's moistened vagina for a bit before entering. (I mean, obviously.)

2. Penetrating halfway once, and then either rubbing more or going down on her. This creates that teasing sensation that will probably make her quite literally beg for it. 

3. During your normal thrusting, take breaks to only go halfway in and use the circular motion to stimulate her G-spot, or take breaks to rub/tap her clit again. This will make sex last longer!

4. Wait for the vulva to swell and spread before really going to town - this is a much better sign a woman is ready than wetness.  

5. Alternate deep strokes and shallow ones.  

6. Make time for afterplay, which is essentially doing a body scan post-sex to remember all the sensations you just experienced, to gauge how you feel now, and to caress your partner. It's considered an important part of kunyaza because of bonding. 

I loved watching this video - learning from other cultures can be such an eye-opening experience, and I have a special code so you can watch it too. When you go to eroticfilms.com and use the code 'Kunyaza' you can rent this for free until August 19!
