Join world-renowned author, sex educator and bondage expert Midori in this instructional film on how to enhance mutual pleasure while exploring sensual bondage and how to make bondage safe and sexy.

Midori discusses the finer points of communication and offers practical advice on restraints to look for and how to choose and use them. You will see some basic bondage ties and positions with scarves and belts, as well as ready-made restraints. (Please note: though silk scarves have a certain allure, A Woman's Touch does not recommend using them as they can tighten uncomfortably and cut off circulation with a just little pulling. Cuffs designed for bondage will not tighten uncomfortably during use, so you can spend less time adjusting your restraints and more time focusing on your pleasure!)

Next, you can watch Midori's lessons in action in two different sex scenes with adult film stars, available with or without commentary. The scenes include genital close-ups, some anal play and external ejaculation.

The first couple, Adrianna and Mark, demonstrate a variety of positions and bondage equipment, including a sex sling that links a collar and cuffs together. Their scene includes mild elements of power exchange, but the focus is on sensation play with Adrianna in a submissive role.

The second couple, Madison and Danny, go a bit deeper into exploring dominance and submission, switching roles throughout the scene. This couple demonstrates a clever ready-made over the door restraint system, as well as Midori's infamous rope harness which holds a vibrator against the wearer. (Midori substitutes silk scarves for the rope in this demonstration--the end result is both creative and arousing! Check out the special features for step-by-step instructions on how to make your own rope harness).

With a little something for everyone, this video is a good choice for those interested in exploring bondage for the first time, as well as those with experience with more intense sensation play.
