Whipsmart: A Good Vibrations Guide to Beginning S/M for Couples

Women-owned production company releases a sexy new video about kinky play for couples

San Francisco, CA -- March 4, 2002 -- Good Vibrations, the legendary San Francisco-based, women-owned and operated sex toy, book and video store, announces the release of Whipsmart: A Good Vibrations Guide to Beginning S/M for Couples, their first educational video oriented specifically toward couples from their new video production division, Sexpositive Productions.

Whipsmart is one of the first erotic educational videos designed to help couples safely realize their sexiest fantasies by exploring bondage, role play and S/M. It's a tempting mix of straightforward advice and beautiful scenes of sexy couples enjoying themselves with spanking, bondage, erotic negotiation and sensation play. Featuring a diverse cast and an artful style that evokes sumptuous decadence without resorting to the usual adult entertainment clichés, Whipsmart offers the perfect entree into the world of adventurous sex play for couples that want to learn what it's really like -- and how to really do it!

Whipsmart is hosted by one of San Francisco's premiere sex educators, Mistress Morgana. A lifestyle domina and lecturer in human sexuality as well as a graduate student in sociology and activist for international women's rights organizations, Morgana marries her frank teaching style with easy-to-understand demonstrations on sexy and submissive men and women.

Co-written by host Mistress Morgana, widely published writer and educator Thomas Roche, and Good Vibrations worker-owner Kate Cunningham, Whipsmart draws on the expertise of experienced S/M players while presenting the complicated techniques of kink in simple, straightforward language any loving couple can understand. Directed by San Francisco filmmaker Laura Plotkin, Whipsmart features gorgeous visuals in its series of sexy educational scenes as well as its erotic vignettes. Through the vignettes, the techniques Morgana describes and demonstrates are put into steamy action by couples eager to prove that there's lots of things you can't learn in school.

Whipsmart features:

• A lifestyle dominant explaining and demonstrating the techniques of beginning BDSM
• Straightforward discussion of techniques for sharing fantasies, negotiating erotic scenes, and maintaining safety
• Pointers and demonstration for spanking, bondage, and sensation play including hot wax, clips and clothespins, and other naughty techniques
• Male-female and female-female couples in highly erotic but non-explicit bondage, spanking and S/M action
• A diverse, multicultural cast

Format: VHS (expanded DVD release coming in May 2002!)
