Expect the best from Nina Hartley, in terms of both
informative content and hot sex, and you wo't be
disappointed. This veteran star even manages to enliven the
talking-heads portion of this video by nuzzling and caressing
slavegirl Amber Michaels, sitting at her feet in a ponygirl
harness.
Hartley briefly discusses definitions of sensual domination,
dismisses the myths, and touches on limits, consent, and
trust, without getting too technical. Instead of insisting on
safewords, for example, she suggests to her male partner that
he say,"Stop! Ouch! Please M'am no" or something similar of
the sort, and sh'll take the hint. She recommends lots of
praise and reward as motivators, and strongly emphasizes fun,
fantasy, and dress-up. And then, i's off to the dungeon.
Hartle's submissive partner is Chris Cannon, a handsome
collegiate type. Hartley shows up dressed for the occasion in
black lingerie and no panties, pointing out that"you do't
need to look like a dominatrix to dominate a man" When she
whips his chest with a soft leather whip, she de-emphasizes
the gear, encouraging her students to try silk, fur, or
anything else to create skin sensation.
Cannon engages in lots of body worship, concentrating on
Hartle's shapely legs and famous ass. Hartley stops and
starts, rubbing her butt against his cock, making him touch
himself while she watches, tonguing his cock and then backing
off again, all the while throwing informative asides to the
camera. This entire scene may just be a contender for Best
Tease. Cannon is completely under her sway by the time they
get down to the fucking, which is flat-out great, with
Hartle's orgasm capping the show.
Michaels and Frank Fortuna are then recruited to show how
this domination stuff might work between a real-life couple.
In their bedroom, Michaels dresses up in a sexy latex outfit
and waits for Fortuna to come home from work. She asks him to
polish up her black bustier and panties. Soon, Fortuna is
blindfolded and standing at the foot of the canopied bed;
Michaels attaches a leash to him and makes him lick her
pussy. The scene culminates with Michaels pinning Fortuna to
the floor and taking his cock up her ass for a totally
animalistic finale.
The two scenes make a nice contrast, since the first is in a
pro dungeon space and the second, in a realistic (if
sumptuous) bedroom. Great production values are on display
here too, from the lighting to the camerawork to the
delicious sets. A definite pre-nom for Best Specialty Tape -
Bondage & S/M.
