Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Hand Jobs

Sex-ed DVDs are tricky — it’s not an easy subject for many to swallow (pun intended) and without a host who’s as amiable as she is educated, viewers will be inclined to press Eject before the good parts start. Flame covers everything from foreskin to finger-fucking, and manages to make the topics lively and interesting.

And yes, there are explicit parts. Vivid-Ed isn’t just about tutorials — this DVD features not only a classroom-style handjob workshop, during which Flame reveals the secrets to her signature "lemon-squeeze" technique, but also three scenes with some of the most believable orgasms I’ve seen on camera.

Taormino was smart not to let Flame bring Justice Young and Harmony to orgasm during the in-depth (pun intended) handjob workshop. It was like foreplay, and all I had to do to get to the next level was press a button … on my remote control. Flame is a total cut-up and effervescent host; her witty personality kept the movie from getting dull.

Too much focus is put on the "goal" of intercourse, and it’s easy to forget the fun of playing with your hands.
