Sexycises

Well...of course. Laura Keeler, "owner of the world famous London Workout Teachers' Training Center" (which I have personally never heard of), is the hostess/instructress for this "adult" exercise program which mixes business with pleasure, so to speak. Designed for couples, the program offers some 10 exercise routines with names like "Thigh For Thigh," "Kiss 'N Kurl" (sic), "Clutch 'N Crunch," "Puppy Love," "Love Me Tender," etc., some of which mimic sexual positions. Throughout the workout (in which couples wear lingerie and underwear), Keeler offers voiceover encouragement, and counts the repetitions ("one, two, three, four, five, sex, seven," etc.--a running joke, apparently), and occasionally appears in a "voyeur's window" (or picture inset for us literal-minded folk) to impart important safety information. As you might have been able to guess, what we have here is a hybrid. It's not exactly sex. It's not exactly aerobics. A harmless game for lovers, perhaps. Sexycizes features good production values, and while at times a bit silly, is really not as stupid as it sounds. If you're feeling tres frisky, you might want to add it to your collection (keeping in mind, of course, that it will be an utterly frivolous purchase.)
