The Best Of Vulva Massage DVD Review

The Best Of Vulva Massage: An Anthology of Erotic Touch is one of the best films on vulva massage that I’ve seen.  Here is my review.

Studio: Erospirit

Produced by: Joseph Kramer and EROSpirit Research Institute

Cast: Betty Dodson, Joseph Kramer, Annie Sprinkle, Deborah Sundahl, Kenneth Ray Stubbs, Suzie Heumann, Deborah Anapol, Jack Painter, Juliet Anderson, Victor Gold, and Jwala. Additional commentary by Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence.

The Best of Vulva Massage is an educational compilation of some of the best instructional female genital massage videos available, edited together into one four hour DVD by sex educator Joseph Kramer, Ph.D. Designed for partners and solo exploration of the female vulva, this anthology contains training sessions from eight videos including sexpert advice from pioneering sex educators including Annie Sprinkle, Joseph Kramer, Betty Dodson and Kenneth Ray Stubbs.

The film begins with ‘Tantric Massage Video’ with Kenneth Ray Stubbs, Ph.D., and is one of the most sensual sections on the DVD, demonstrating full body, erotic, tantric massage. Both hot to watch and even hotter to practice with a lover, you can almost feel the power in Stubbs’ “nurturing flowing touch” as he transports tantric energy up and down the body of the woman he is caressing. Stubbs believes that erotic massage should be about pleasure and allowing the body to naturally respond to this “dance with energy”.

The following segment contains edited footage from ‘Female Genital Massage: Fire in the Valley Part 1 and 2’ with Joseph Kramer and Annie Sprinkle, Ph.D. These are the most instructional step-by-step tutelage on Taoist Erotic Massage on the DVD, with three diverse scenarios including a loving session between a pregnant woman and her male lover, a passionate session with a lesbian couple and solo session by a woman who performs sensual touch on herself. From ‘Labia Shiatsu’ and ‘the Tour de France’, to ‘Womb Drumming’ and ‘Twist and Shout’, these techniques are easy to learn and work. The original version contains excellent commentary by both Kramer and Sprinkle on various topics including the importance of communication, how to connect and create intimacy, as well as the beauty and diversity of the female genitals. It is quite obvious that the women receiving the vulva massage are enjoying it immensely as they moan with abandon.

Other segments include ‘Secrets of Sexual Ecstasy’ with Suzie Heuman which talks about the brain as an erogenous zone, the G-spot and female ejaculation, and the importance of vocalization; ‘Celebrating Orgasm’ with Betty Dodson, Ph.D., taken from her sessions as a masturbation coach; ‘Pelvic-Heart Integration: Part 2’ with Jack Painter, Ph.D. and Deborah Anapol, Ph.D.; ‘Tantric Journey to Female Orgasm’ with Jwala and Victor Gold that is an Introduction to Tantra, and Sexual Healing; ‘Ageless Desire’ with Juliet Anderson which shows a mature woman celebrating her sexuality; and, finally, ‘Sluts and Goddesses Video Workshop’ with Annie Sprinkle. This segment contains Sprinkle’s famous five minute energy-orgasm. The added commentary from Annie Sprinkle herself is very enlightening as she talks about how she learned to experience these mind-blowing, body-shaking, earth-quaking big-O’s.

The DVD also features insightful interviews with Deborah Sundahl on the G-spot and female ejaculation, and Kenneth Ray Stubbs who discusses the evolution of his massage techniques. Also included are resources that list numerous books, videos, and DVDs by the practitioners featured inside, on topics such as tantra, female and male sexuality, masturbation, erotic massage, and much more. In addition, there are previews to several other DVDs teaching erotic genital and anal massage for men, and the URLs of websites where one can find more information.

I lent this DVD to my colleagues at the sex shop where I work and received mixed reaction. Comments included that is was dated looking, unpolished, and the women were pretty hairy, which is all true. The film features real people and shows authentic loving making, not sex for video. Other than Annie Sprinkle, most of the people in the film are average Janes and Joes and not porn stars. Still, I believe they found the film both useful, educational and intriguing.

Personally, I think this DVD is a must have for anyone interested in: expanding their sexual repertoire with new, exciting love-making skills; creating more intimacy in their sexual relationships; exploring and awaking the female sexual body to breathtaking levels pleasure and ecstasy; and the therapeutic power of massage. This is absolutely the most comprehensive film on vulva massage available and a great introduction into the art of erotic touch, with excellent wisdom from sexual pioneers, and wonderful on-screen performances showing explicit detail.
