[citation needed] Bend Over Boyfriend was created and produced by lesbian couple Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano, owners and founders of SIR Video Productions.

[3] Rednour commented that, although Bend Over Boyfriend was meant for heterosexual couples, she cast lesbians in penetrator roles because "dykes are more likely to know how to fuck".

[4] Sasha from Eye Weekly wrote: "Its underlying message, that fucking your boyfriend in the ass is fun, is a good one", but the presentation "made anal sex seem more distasteful rather than more attractive".

[3] Tristan Taormino, writing for the Village Voice, credits the video as an archetype for a substantial cultural shift: "The roles of active initiator and penetrator are no longer solely the domain of men, nor are the qualities of receptivity and passivity for girls only.

[6] In 2023, Naomi Leroy writing for Fleshbot, called it a classic, adding that "all of the information in this film is actually great anal advice for anyone looking to play with buttholes, no matter the gender of the giver or receiver".
