Review: "Going Down" (NSFW pictures)

Going Down: The Official Guide to Cunnilingus

Also in the Pleasure Ed series, "Going Down" covers giving head to women, hearing from a nice mix of men and women who love to give oral sex to women. There's a good anatomy lesson to give the viewer an idea of all the various bits of a cunt, which is good as from my own sex ed experience they were pretty crap about it! Amusingly, in this one I did learn something, in the positions section- put a pillow under your chest if you're giving cunnilingus to a woman on her back with her legs open, so that you're not straining your neck. Duh, right? But that never occurred to me. :O
In this one, I appreciated that two of the women had trimmed pubic hair, that you heard from men and women who enjoyed giving oral sex to women, and that a couple of people mentioned how hot it was that it was so messy. I particularly like that because I think that while men's balls are expected to be sweaty and their cocks spew cum everywhere, there's a belief that oral sex on women should scentless, sterile, and tidy. Fuck that noise! I'm a huge fan of the primalness of sweat and scent and hair. Yum.
Here's one thing I found interesting- in "Heads Up", there was no discussion about people feeling uncomfortable receiving oral, but in "Going Down" there was a brief mention of how some people feel receiving cunnilingus isn't something they deserve, or they don't want to impose, or how they don't like how their vulva looks/smells/tastes. I have to admit though, I never met a man who felt he didn't "deserve" a blow job! But I've met loads of women who are uncomfortable or awkward around receiving cunnilingus.
I also like that Carol talks a lot about how it can take a while for women to get aroused, and that there's a lot of ways to arouse a woman beyond her pussy/clit- not just physically aroused, but mentally, too. Making your partner feel like you find her whole body erotic is almost ALWAYS hugely important, so that was a good thing to mention. I also liked that she says that starting on the clit right off the bat can be irritating, overwhelming, and uncomfortable for women- so don't dive onto the clit first unless she specifically says to! And it made me laugh when Carol says "the clit is NOT A DOORBELL. That means, you don't poke poke poke it, with your tongue or your finger!" Good advice. "Not erotically impressive" is a very nice way of putting it. (btw, that's not my pussy, I don't shave, but I was taking photos, hehe)
I loved that in one of the scenes, the guy actually does the alphabet technique- spelling out the letters on her pussy. It's cutely endearing. And the noises Madison makes in this one are adorable! And in this one, there is girl on girl pussylicking along with the use of a glove and cling film for safer sex- yay for porn with safer sex in, especially things other than just condoms! And with both of these I love that they've left the mid-play negotiations in- the occasional "more fingers please" or "pull my hair" or "more of that". It shows that communicating your desires during sex is possible- and kinda hot. And oh, yes- the "more Sir more Sir more Sir please Sir oooooohhhhhhh goodddddddd" makes me kinda wanna be Sir more often. Mmmmm.
I'd watch both this and "Heads Up" again just for the sex scenes. I think that "Going Down" was better when it came to showing multiple ethnicities, multiple ages, multiple sizes, multiple sexualities. Of course, having been at the filming, that has everything to do with who showed up and what they talked about, so it's certainly not the fault of the Pleasure Ed series! I have no doubt they'll continue to get better, and look forward to seeing more in the series. I know Carol mentioned an anal play one, and a bondage one... pretty please do one on ageplay. Carol? It would help me out so much!
So yeah. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about these, initially, as I am of course the master of all sexual techniques. ::cough:: But I did learn something, actually, and I was reminded of how hot dental dams can be, and it re-inflamed my love of pubic hair, and was just generally the best 2 hours I spent watching educational porn. Considering the number of clients I've seen who have sighed and said "my wife/girlfriend won't let me give them oral sex/won't give me blow jobs", I would say- get these! They're definitely couples friendly, and offers a lot in the way of support, acceptance, and encouragement, all the while making oral sex hot and fun. Well done Carol Queen, and well done Good Vibrations, who sent it to me!
If this sounds of interest, no, you can't borrow my copy, go buy your own at lovely Good Vibrations. You can get Heads Up (reviewed previously) or Going Down in DVD format (though for my UK consumers, remember it'll be zone 1) or multiple methods of download to own, if having a physical DVD doesn't matter to you. Oh, and I'm a Good Vibes affiliate, so feel free to click their link on the left hand side of the page to browse (and buy!) loads of gorgeous porn, wonderfully made sex toys, and some great books.
