Fire on the Mountain Male Genital Massage (DVD)

I am a woman who bought the DVD to use with my husband. The techniques are easy to pick up, and my husband really enjoys them. Also, we have better communication in the bedroom now, which has allowed us to invent our own moves. In this sense, the DVD delivered, and I'm glad I got it. But we had to ignore much to be able to learn from it.

It's geared to a gay audience. At times it's campy and cheesy. For example, in the intro, Kramer stands in front of a six foot tall sculpture of an erection wearing a tuxedo with a carnation in the lapel. He refers to the massage as Taoist erotic massage, but doesn't explain what makes it Taoist. He also claims that it is c*** reflexology (his words), that each part of the penis corresponds to a different part of the body. It could have been interesting, but he abandons that line of teaching after showing us what corresponds to the head and the spine.

It teaches a really, very, super annoying breathing/moaning technique that the actors use throughout the entire DVD. The warm up begins with two nude men taking turns saying and signing, "You are special among all my relations." It's cringe inspiring. Then they move into a standing ballet-type warm-up with head, shoulder, and hip rolls. More viewer cringing.

The massage segment is shot well, though low budget. Kramer refers to the male member as the `magic wand,' and the names of the techniques are just as silly. The production value makes the product seem overpriced at 40 dollars. But we got good results. If you have a sense of humor and the ability forgive corny camp, you'll learn a few tricks.
