This documentary, the first in a popular series, originally aired on British television. It showed a surprising amount of sex and nudity, including some hardcore action. Thanks to the clinical and “informative” nature of the special, they were able to escape the scissors of the censors. In that respect, it kind of reminded me of those old nudist camp movies where everyone stands around playing volleyball naked because, you see… it’s a “documentary”. I mean, no one in their right mind would watch a documentary just to see a lot of T & A. Right?
After a brief segment on courtship, we go right into the bedroom. (Or the bathtub as the case may be.) There are informative sequences on Arousal (masturbation), Sensual Massage, Fantasies, Oral Sex, and Sexual Positions. Since it’s essentially made for couples, there’s also a bunch of stuff about keeping things new, exciting, and stimulating for each partner.
The dry narration about coupling and mating habits straddles the line between educational and cheeky (in a manner of speaking). Classic words of wisdom like “Get to know your genitals… both aroused and unaroused!” make for some good laughs. (My favorite bit of narration was when they referred to a guy who ejaculates prematurely as a “Trigger-happy man”.) Speaking of laughs, wait to you see the part where the actress has to explore the “Male G-Spot”!
This might be a documentary and all, but the camerawork and lighting scream Skinamax. It takes a while before we get to them, but the surprisingly graphic scenes of women playing with themselves is where the fun really begins. The only downside to that is that out of the interest of fairness, that also means we are subjected to shots of dudes with rock hard dicks yanking their cranks. Once we move into the sexual arena, things get XXX graphic. While the film strives to be clinical, it still manages to be kinda hot.
So, in the end, The Lovers’ Guide accomplishes two things simultaneously. It manages to be the manual for lovemaking it was advertised to be, while also containing enough spank material for single viewers. Because of that, I’d say it deserves high marks.
