Do people need relationship enhancement? Can’t we just keep doing “what comes naturally?”
We interviewed hundreds of people. The majority of them, over 75%, told us that their partner could benefit from an educational program like this!
Why is the VFL education series considered self-help relationship enhancement?
Videos for Lovers highlights 15 real couples that take viewers on an exploration of sexuality that is both physical and emotional. Watching the VFL DVDs with the Lovers Exploration Guide creates a multimedia interactive experience that will help people understand themselves and their partner.
Is the Lovers Exploration Guide needed to watch the DVDs?
It is not required however the guide is an integral part of an educational program that leads couples on their own journey to developing a deeper intimate - erotic connection. The guide helps couples identify important concepts, compares and contrasts the couples relationships, acts as a catalyst for your own exploration and builds communication skills with your partner.
Do I need to buy all the DVDs to use the guide?
No, however watching more couples will help you and your lover to have deeper conversations about your sexuality and it will enhance your exploration of each other. All relationships are different. Each couple will offer you new insights into your own relationship and spark new conversations.
Aren’t these DVDs just “dressed up” porn?
No, they aren’t the same as ‘XXX-rated’ videos! Yes, each VFL DVD features explicit sexual interactions but these are real couples who have chosen to participate in the Videos for Lovers educational program for the purpose of helping other couples to have a more fulfilling relationship. They are not actors engaging in unrealistic sexual activities for the purpose of titillating the viewer. The non-explicit interviews are completely candid responses to prepared questions by experts in the fields of sexuality and relationships.
Are your DVDs educational or entertainment?
The VFL educational program is a self-help relationship enhancement product that incorporates video with a guide to maximize a couple’s potential to realize a positive intimate and erotically satisfying connection with their lover. The program is designed to promote reflection, discussion and exploration. While you watch the couples talk and interact sexually, listen to the couples and use them as a spark for conversation between the two of you. You won’t agree with them about everything. Your likes and dislikes will vary from couple to couple but the point is, that it will help you and your lover to talk about, experience and develop your own unique sexuality.
How were these DVDs put together?
We collaborated with many leading relationship counselors and sex experts. We asked them to imagine a program that illustrated relationships and the challenges that couples face in a committed relationship. VFL was born out of that collaboration. We began a search for articulate, loving couples, that were willing to demonstrate their sexual activities and discuss all aspects of their personal histories and relationships. After reviewing 600 couples, we chose just 15 that were articulate and represented a wide range of sexuality. You will not relate to every couple but you will learn from them both what you do and don’t like. You will also be inspired by their stories of love and commitment. Our DVDs are for couples that want to enhance their intimacy and ignite their sexual connection.
There are some “how to” videos on the market. Are these videos more of the same?
No. Videos for Lovers is different. We do not use actors. They are real couples. They discuss their relationship histories and share their personal and sexual relationship. You will gain insight into the couple’s family life and intimate connection. They will discuss their cultural upbringing that influenced their sexuality and how they overcame many obstacles caused by sexual misinformation and taboos. Most of all, you will be fascinated by their stories of love and commitment to keep growing their intimate-erotic connection throughout their relationship.
Is there a non-explicit version of VFL?
There are several non-explicit educational programs in development. The first DVD to be released in early 2011 will feature producer Loren Kapelow and the authors of the Lovers Exploration Guide Tom Hicks and Julie Elledge as well as the couples from the VFL video series. Send us an email to receive more information about the release.
How do you get your partner to watch?
It’s easy! Invite your partner to join you in watching these DVDs and reading the Lovers Exploration Guide together. Your intimate relationship is special between the two of you and an important part of your relationship. Spending time to make it better is worth your effort. Let him or her know that the Videos for Lovers educational program have been prepared under the watchful eyes of the leading relationship experts and sex educators in the country. You and your lover will follow real couples just like your on a journey of self-discovery.
How were these filmed?
The VFL couples are not actors. They were interviewed and given an afternoon to make love. They were not given direction or asked to demonstrate any particular behavior. The encounters were not in a studio and only 2 camera people were in the room during filming.
How long is each video, and what’s on them?
The time the viewer spends with each VFL couple ranges from an hour to two hours. It includes the couple explicitly making love and non-explicit interviews with the couple discussing their relationship and personal histories in detail. DVD 1-7 has two couples each and DVD 8 has one couple.
Why are there 8 DVDs?
The 15 couples on the 8 DVDs represent 600 couples that applied to be apart of the VFL DVD educational program. They were chosen as a representative sample of what our experts identified as a range of normal behavior given their age, familial circumstances, history, background and experience. Each couple, of different ages, offers the viewer different experiences, techniques, backgrounds and cultural influences. They serve as a spark that allows the viewer to discuss with their lover what they like and don’t like with their lover and the permission to fully develop their intimate-erotic connection.
