Bound To Please: “Midori’s Expert Guide To Sensual Bondage”

What do you get when you throw together a world-class bondage expert, four super hot pornstars, and put Tristan Taormino in the director's seat? "Midori's Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage"—a wonderful new edition to the Vivid-Ed canon.

Midori, for those who don't know, is an author, sex expert, and bondage aficionado based out of San Francisco—one whose many books and lectures have educated countless newbies in the skills of bondage. In her "Expert Guide," she brings her skills and know-how right to your living room—and does an excellent job, we must say. Midori's a great teacher with great screen presence, and it's a pleasure to learn the basics of bondage from her.

It's also a pleasure to watch the rest of the cast at work. Adrianna Nicole and Mark Davis join Midori for some hands on instruction, then Midori leaves them to get down to business (meaning Mark ties up Adrianna and fucks her masterfully); Madison Young and Danny Wylde conclude the release with a delightful switch scene. The performers clearly enjoy bondage—and each other—and their scenes manage to be both hot and informative (we definitely got a lot of bondage inspiration from watching these performers at work).

Though the release is geared towards beginners, with a focus on basic bondage (no fancy Japanese rope tricks or suspension here), we'd wager that there are quite a few intermediate players who could benefit from Midori's lessons. She offers advice that even we'd never heard (like that you should remove contacts before blindfolding someone), and offers a lot of creative suggestions for different techniques for tying (be sure to check out the bonus scene with instructions for the Midori scarf harness—it's a trick every lady should know).

Our one critique? It would have been nice to see a little more attention paid to the ins and outs of binding male bodies. Madison does a nice job tying up Danny, but a third full scene with a male submissive being bound up and dominated by a female top would have rounded out the release very nicely. We've got our fingers crossed that that shows up in "Midori's Expert Guide to Sensual Bondage 2" (they are making, that, right?).
