Submit to the Feminist Porn Awards

January 24, 2011

What is Feminist Porn? To me, it’s not an oxymoron. It’s any work that demonstrates sexual agency to all genders presented, no matter the context. It’s often conscious of social climate, and strives to educate or empower both its featured performers and directors, as well as its audience. It is sex-positive, and the producers perform well [...]

January 20, 2011

Last weekend I saw Black Swan with porn cohort Drew DeVeaux. Actually, the fact that the two of us saw it together was perfect, considering the fact that the two of us have dance backgrounds (and pulled those into our scene together in Roulette Toronto). Sharing a bag of M&Ms and water, we cuddled and [...]

January 6, 2011

I just found out about a pretty cool and interesting marketing campaign that a sex toy company called We-Vibe is doing. Here’s the website: we-vibe.com/50billionreasons The basic idea for their promotion is that couples who use the We-Vibe will have healthier and longer-lasting relationships. Through cute interactive factoids, the campaign makes funny points about sex [...]
