Tristan Taormino Gets Up Close And Personal With The G-Spot (Really!)

The g-spot has seen a lot of press in the past few weeks: after those Italian scientists used their fancy machines to locate it, it felt like was all anyone could talk about for a while. So it seems only fitting that this week marks the release of Tristan Taormino's "Expert Guide to the G-Spot," the latest title from Vivid-Ed. True to form, Tristan cuts through all the myths, misinformation, and mindless chatter about the g-spot and offers up some real, solid information ... along with some super hot porn. Our favorite combination!

As with all her Vivid-Ed releases, Tristan begins this installment of "The Expert Guide to the G-Spot" with a brief lecture. With the help of Princess Donna and Sarah Blake, who provide a live action demo, Tristan educates the viewer (and an audience of porn stars) on the finer points of female anatomy and g-spot stimulation. Turns out you don't need a fancy ultrasound machine to find a woman's special area: fingers or toys will do the trick just fine. And (spoiler alert!) every woman has a g-spot, even if every woman's g-spot isn't equally sensitive.

Once Tristan's imparted her wisdom, the action segues from the classroom to the bedroom. In three hot scenes, we're shown the basics — and not-so-basics — of g-spot stimulation: using fingers, toys, and a variety of fancy positions, the cast of "The Expert Guide to the G-Spot" shows us exactly how it's done, and, in the last scene, how "it" can lead to the wonder that is female ejaculation (a bonus girl-girl scene, illustrating the basics of strap-on sex, is also included on the disc). Tristan stays on as a voiceover, offering insight on the different tactics and techniques being demonstrated, with occasional assistance from some colorful, pop-up video style notes.

(Bonus tip: Want to enjoy the hot sex without the pressure of having to learn something? The scenes are also available without the voiceovers.)

Instructional porn is a notoriously tricky genre. Though it seems only logical to have porn stars - who are, after all, sex professionals - teaching us regular folk about sex, in practice, it can get a little complicated. Education (which requires a brain full of blood) is pitted against titillation (which... doesn't), and it can be hard to find a balance between the two. Judging from her entries in the Vivid-Ed line so far, Tristan been quite successful with making porn that's as smart as it is sexy. We can't wait to see what she comes out with next—we'll happily learn whatever she's willing to teach us.
