Initial Comments :
I was initially contacted with a request to review this site in April, however due to the delayed launch I had been unable to do so until now. I was not dissapointed. After my examination of the member's area and content, I have decided to rank this as the #1 Sex Advice/Position site that I have reviewed.
Although the initial cost is $47, which appears to be the most expensive of the guides I have looked at, the cost was for a lifetime membership (which, compared to the monthly/yearly memberships that are being sold at other sites is refreshing.
The development of this site must have been quite costly - there are literally hundreds of videos (Which appear to be unique to this site), as well as a large range of articles, and a message board.

Positive Aspects Of The Site :
The major selling point for this site is the overwhelming volume of multimedia guide content. I counted 500+ photographs and videos, and could not watch in several sittings the tutorial videos. The content (from what I can tell) appears to have been created for this site, and is exclusive. The quality is clear, and there are no issues with download times.
Another positive point is the organization of the member's section. Even though I have only included my top 3 reviews here, I have seen sex guide member's sections that were abysmally arranged. The content and guides are broken up into approximately 10 different sections, and are easy to navigate.
I also have pointed out that the site features a member's forum. I have not to date reviewed another site that included this. The activity is low, however messages are responded to, and members can discuss tips with each other that are not included on the site.
Negative Aspects Of The Site :
I was somewhat dissapointed in the level of activity in the member's forum. Understandably, most people are intersted in getting the "stock" tips, but I feel that most people could also learn something from each other using this unique feature.
I also had an issue with the speed of downloading of the videos one day, however I later discovered that it was my cable modem causing the problem, not the site itself.
ScoreCard Breakdown :
| Category | Score | Reason for Score |
| Ease of Use | 5/5 | - The site was divided into well defined, easy to navigate areas.
- Information on specific topic is found quickly. |
| Quality Of Material | 5/5 | - The written content was original and well written. Very few grammatical mistakes.
- The multimedia content (video) was well produced and very clear. |
| Cost Of Product | 3.5/5 | - The cost is reasonable for a lifetime membership. |
| Update Frequency | 4/5 | - It appears the site is updated regularly with new information. As well, the forum provides fresh information daily from other users. |
| Overall Impression | 4.5/5 | An excellent site, with quality content and instruction. |

Final Thoughts :
I was most impressed by the video content on the site. It was clear, concise, and was not geared toward arousing the user. It provided excellent examples of the mechanics of each new position, and illustrated the concepts much more clearly than simply by photos.
The written content was also well done, and provided a lot of original, unique information. Even if you were not able to view the videos, you would obtain a large amount of quality insight regardless.
Overall, this is an excellent site that provides agreeable value for money. I fully reccomend this site as a quality purchase.
