6 Sex Tips From An Adult Film Director

When a person dedicates his or her life to one craft and then offers to share advice on the subject, it might be a good idea to listen. The adult film industry might not be an everyday topic of discussion with friends or significant others, but we're sure that sex is. That's why we were pretty excited about one specialized filmmaker penning a number of sex tips over at AskMen.com. According to director Dave Smith, he learned these valuable sex lessons by watching and filming adult film stars in action. Don't be intimidated though, he assures us that living up to these actors' abilities shouldn't be a factor at home. Check out 6 sex tips from an adult film director.

Working in the adult industry has given Smith plenty of knowledge about sex, but he reveals that adult films and what you do in your own sex life are two very different subjects. He hopes that these tips will help.

Tip 1. Everyone Has Kinks. In a consensual sexual relationship, finding out your partner's kinks can be surprising and very healthy for the relationship. "It is essential to communicate with your partner and to establish what each of you likes, what is off limits and what is not," Smith explains.

Surprise, surprise. "Suddenly surprising your partner is not always a good idea. Everyone has their ideal fantasy sexual scenario and those special kinks and it is just a case of finding out what they are," the director says.

Tip 2. On Camera Vs. In The Bedroom. Smith's second tip is to distance your sex life from what you see in adult films. "Some positions look great if you are watching [adult films], but in fact they aren't always the most comfortable or practical in the bedroom," he says.

"Some positions require lots of stamina and flexibility and, at home, comfort is important if you want to really enjoy it rather than just making it look good for the camera," the director informs the AskMen.com readers.

Tip 3. Be Prepared. Stretching is always a good idea, but Smith goes on to say that you should also get your surroundings ready for sex. This means the proper sheets are in place and whatever structure you're doing it on needs to be able to support you and your partner.

Tip 4. Keep Props At Hand. Yes, sex toys are "props," but Smith also means to keep condoms, lube, … wet wipes or refreshments" at an arms length. Otherwise, you might kill the mood if you have to leave. 

Tip 5. Stamina Isn't For Everyone. You might understand very well that you can't keep up with the adult film stars you watch in these movies. Don't let that get you down, though. They're professionals after all.

"What you see on screen has taken a lot longer to film (all day sometimes) so no matter how good you might be, you may find you might not be able to last anywhere near as long," Smith says.

Marathon sex?. "If you are planning a marathon session and need some Viagra," he informs.

Tip 6. No Interruptions. Why would you let anything interrupt this occasion? Make sure that all distractions and possible interruptions are taken care of beforehand.

Turn off your phone! This should be more common sense than advice, you guys. Don't be that person.

"The most annoying thing is when a phone rings and interrupts the action," Smith says. "You really don't want to take a call or read a text message when you are concentrating on your partner so make sure your phone is off or at very least set to silent and somewhere that won't stop the action." 

Try not to bother the neighbors, if you can help it. "You also might find that sometimes your neighbors might not be happy about the noise or sound of your bed banging against the wall keeping them awake all night so you might want to put some music on; at least it gives them something else to concentrate on," Smith says.

"In summary, sex should be fun, consensual and enjoyable and spontaneous," the director says.
