Initial Expectations: I really enjoyed Nina Hartleys Guide to Sex Toys, which gives me a lot of hope here as well

Initial Reaction: Its another nicely entertaining educational feature from Nina Hartley.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody curious about the love swing

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for information on sex toys such as dildos

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects of this DVD have come a long way from where they were in the earlier installments of this series. The audio is very clear and well balanced, but there is a little dubbing in places. The video has a little grain, but not much, and very few shadows.

Music: Theres only a little bit of music, but when there is its nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.

False Advertising: The cover states that there are trailers included on this DVD, but I could not find them anywhere. I deducted a half point from the overall rating because of this.

Menus: The main menu is extremely with a little animation. The chapter menu is pretty basic, allowing you to choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene and a title.

The Feature: Although its something that everybody does, and normally with other people, sex is something that many people have problems getting comfortable with and exploring. Nina Hartley, one of the leading ladies of the adult film business, has put together a series of educational features with the help of her friends in the business. This time shes focusing on a wide array of sex toys.

Nina starts out reminding the viewer that sex is adult play and that you have to be a certain age to view it. Nina has been around the adult industry for many years, and in those years has learned a lot, both on and off screen, in those years. As most people have known since theyve been a kid, play can be a lot more fun with toys. In this installment, Nina continues to introduce the viewers to sex toys with the help of some of her friends in the adult industry.

Nina starts things out with Adajja and her suitcase pimp Tyler Wood and a bungee love swing. They show how to get into the swing, as well as how to rearrange and use the change for different sex acts. They start with the obvious method of Tyler eating Adajjas pussy before rearranging the chair for some fellatio fun. They demonstrate fucking in much the same manner, starting in a missionary style position and then changing it into something a little more advanced. They also work through a little mid-air doggie and the famous love swing sit and spin that allows reverse cowgirl sex without the heavy workout for the woman. Tyler takes his turn in the swing also. Nina joins Adajja in giving him a blowjob, and then lets them try fucking with Tyler in the swing. Finally, Nina gives Tyler a handjob until he gives Adajja a nice facial. Its a nice intro to the swing thats helped out by Adajjas enthusiasm.

Sindee Coxx and Baz, her new husband and one of the better cameramen in the business, take their turn with the love swing next. This swing is similar to the bungee swing in the previous segment but doesnt have the bungee. After Nina and Baz get Sindee comfortable in the swing, Baz kneels down to eat Sindees pussy and then lets her suck his cock. Baz works Sindees pussy for a bit as she wiggles around in the swing before breaking out one of her jelly dildos and working her over with it. She also gives Baz a blowjob as he lays back in the swing and backs in to fuck him before getting down to take his love lotion on her face. Its another good demonstration of a swing. More than anything, this scene is a lot of fun to watch due to how much fun Baz and especially Sindee have with it.

Mark Davis wins the current porno lottery in the final scene and gets to join Keisha and Nina for a scene directed by Will Renald. Nina and Keisha get together after not seeing each other in quite a while, and unbeknownst to Keisha, Nina invited Mark to join them. They have him dance for them and repay him with oral favors. Nina helps Keisha suck Marks cock before getting him all to herself while Keisha straddles Marks face. Nina takes her turn on Marks face while he fucks Keisha, but Keisha soon hops off to tongue Ninas asshole as Mark keeps his tongue in her pussy. Mark goes back for one more poke in Keisha before trying Ninas twat on for size. Keisha plays with her pussy while watching Mark fuck Nina, but does get Ninas tongue on her twat a little. Finally, Mark drops his mall bomb on Keishas great all natural tits, with Nina licking it up. Its a hot scene that has great chemistry and a great one to end the feature with.

Nina Hartleys Advanced Guide to Sex Toys does a nice job of covering love swings. Theyre shown with just enough detail to give people ideas about them, but not so much as to get technical or boring. The scenes are also helped out immensely by the enthusiasm of the women in them. The final scene is a little different since it doesnt have a swing, but still keeps toy usage in the scene. Nina Hartleys Advanced Guide to Sex Toys does a nice job of introducing more sex toys, and is done in a very friendly manner than almost all porn fans will appreciate.

Extras: In addition to the standard bio for Nina Hartley, theres web site information and a photo gallery. The gallery lasts two minutes with about six seconds per average looking full screen photo.

Themes: Straight, educational, toys, group, lesbian, toe-ing, masturbation, and rimming (female > female and male > female (said but not shown))

Raincoat Factor: Very high

Overall: Currently, most of the entries in Nina Hartleys educational line can be found online for between $13 and $24 with several stores offering them under $15. This is a fair price for this feature. It covers love swings with a couple nice demonstrations and includes a nice scene as well. The technical aspects are above average, but the extras are still lacking a little.

Note to Adam & Eve: If people are going to pick this DVD up, they may also be interested in some Ninas other educational titles. It might be a good idea to include some kind of trailer for the other features or maybe a short interview with Nina talking about them. Also, please watch your cover information a little closer so the features you list are actually included.
