Late last week, after getting back from Dinah Shore and taking some personal days to get my sex education teaching on, I hopped another plane to join the best of the best in awesome porn in Toronto for the 6th Annual Feminist Porn Awards!  Put on by amazing sex toy store Good For Her, the Feminist Porn Awards celebrate the most  fantastically sexy, ethical dirty movies from the past year and the smokin’ hot folks who make and star in them.

Being my third year at the awards, I was an old hand by this time around.  And not only did I get to come to the awards again as one of the main sponsors, I was actually asked to present an actual award again this year, which turned out to be the big one – movie of the year!  Talk about being honored!  Same as in the past few years, I hunkered down at the Gladstone Hotel and got a chance to hang out with some of the other folks staying there as well, including the seriously awesome April Flores and her husband, director Carlos Batts.

I got into Toronto on Thursday morning, just in time to miss the opening party for the weekend, but still on task to have a little chill time (my room wasn’t even ready for a few hours when I got there – had to shop… bummer) before making my way over the Public Provocative Porn screening and panel later that evening.

But before heading over there even, I had the great fortune of rocking the pre-porn screening party at Good For Her, where I got to see my lady love, Alison Lee (the amazing woman who puts the awards together), reconnected with the fabulous Tristan Taormino and Ms. Flores, meet Carlos, bear hug Tina Horn, Drew Deveaux and Jiz Lee, meet Jaiya of New World Sex Education and Nic Switch and spend time with so many folks that I don’t see often enough. What a way to open the evening!

Soon we headed over to the Public Provocative Porn screening and panel, where the room was packed with amazing Canadian perverts who were itching to see some fuck flicks!  What fun!  I firmly wedged my bottom in a seat between April Flores and Bobbi Starr, who is equally as sweet and fantastic.

Lucky for everyone in the room, sexy educator Tristan Taormino opened the evening with a rousing speech that I was so so so luck to get on film!  Take a look at her rock star moment before we get into the panel discussion, which by the looks of this post, will have to be recap 2!

How awesome is she! I love it!  Get ready for recap 2 tomorrow – I can’t wait!
