“It’s more than… just sex.” It’s your first impression of director Nenna from her website, and one that really encompasses what her work is about. Jumping head long into the queer porn revolution that’s radiating out of San Francisco, Nenna released her very first porno venture earlier this spring – and let me tell you, “Tight Places: A Drop Of Color” was no amateur attempt! With super high quality production and attention to finding performing partners with chemistry, this movie has raised the bar for what I want to see in someone’s first attempt behind the camera.
More than just making awesome porn, Nenna spends her time bringing ethnicity to the forefront of erotic photography and movies, focusing on the politics of race within the industry. In fact, her goal has continually been to empower Persons of Color through erotic and sexual material while dissecting stereotypical images and repainting them with deeper meaning.
A political, smart cookie (not to forget to mention – totally hot) making awesomely hot queer porn movies – how hot is that?!
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I’ve been in the industry for some time now. Not many people know it, but I’ve have a adult toy site which I shut down some time ago. So, I’ve basically been hanging around looking at ways to stay in the industry. Last year I read about Reel Queer (Good Vibrations) [Productions] Film Company and finally got a meeting with Coyote Days. And, the rest is her-story. My first film, Tight Places: A Drop of Color, debuted on May 24th, 2010! With so much excitement, I’m here to stay! Read the rest of this entry »
What do our favorite porn performers think about the industry? Inquiring minds want to know! Well, we asked and they answered! Welcome to our latest editor’s spotlight column, where we ask a bunch of stars the same question and see what kind of awesome answers grace our inbox.
This month’s question:
In the last few months, lawmakers in California have been lobbying to require that condoms/barriers be used when making porn.
Do you think that mandatory condom/barrier use in porn would show a more realistic portrayal of sex, or would it detract from the fantasy aspect of porn? Why?
I think barriers and condoms should be the “best practices” or the norm that everyone just assumes. And those barriers should be shown going on. I know a lot of folks can get frustrated getting a condom on a huge toy, when it seems so easy in movies. And showing how to avoid cross contamination, such as switching out condoms or gloves when moving from one hole to another should be encouraged. I’m always shocked at folks thinking they are being great at barriers, but then not being aware of where they just put those barriers.
I personally don’t think it should be a law…but it is key to our business model at Trannywood Pictures and Dolores Park Studios, to show as often as possible the use of barriers in hot, sexy, and natural ways.

I’ve been using condoms in my Femme Productions movies since 1988 and it hasn’t hurt their appeal one bit. In fact my audience seems to have appreciated my concern for my actors and my desire to set a good example. A few of them even said watching porn stars have unsafe sex was like watching a two actors performing a shoot-out in a western movie with loaded guns! As for the fantasy element, when it was meant to be a fantasy or a dream sequence I simply wouldn’t show that we used condoms. The one exception was when they were real-life couples or married. In that case if they were playing strangers or new lovers I would do an establishing shot showing them taking out a condom and then not worry about it.

Happy Friday! We are back with another – our last, in fact – installment of the fabulous video interviews we did this spring at Dinah Shore and the Feminist Porn Awards. It’s been a crazy journey, starting with the fierce Adrianna Nicole in Palm Springs and finishing up on the amazingness that is Tristan Taormino (the second part) in Toronto, and we have had a ridiculous amount of fun both doing and posting these awesome interviews. We hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as we have! Ok, time to get back to Tristan and wrap up her wonderful interview.

Tristan Taormino is a seriously sexy sex educator extraordinaire! Along with educating, Taormino is an author, porn director, butt toy designer, anal expert and more! I’m not exactly sure when she sleeps though. But who needs sleep when there are bottoms to be pleasured, right?
And while I am obviously one to talk up all of Tristan Taormino many attributes, I am most certainly not the only one. In fact, the anal queen was awarded both the Feminist Porn Award for Smutty Schoolteacher Award for Sex Educational Film AND the Trailblazer Award (basically the lifetime achievement honor)! Can’t beat that with a stick! So, without further ago, here is the second piece to my interview with the lovely Tristan Taormino.
I love music and I love fucking, so it’s always a big plus for me when two of my favorite things are combined into one awesome package. Thankfully, it turns out that most musicians seem to love sex, so there’s an abundance of pornos starring musicians. Not all of them strip down and show off the goods like Tommy Lee, but there’s still something nice about Ice T setting up a porno scene for you.
Whether you like rock, rap or rocking out to Slayer, there’s probably something that’ll leave you spent and humming a tune!
Turbo Rock: We love HeartCore Films, and with April Flores and music by The Meatmen, this one ifs the perfect way to kick off today’s list! Is it just me, or should more porn movies pay homage to the art of the groupie blowjob?
Rock & Roll In My Butthole: You can always count on Burning Angel if you’re looking for XXX action and great music. I could have highlighted a ton of her movies, but she actually made a music video a song called “Rock and Roll in My Butthole,” so I chose this one. Plus it’s awesome!
Ice-T’s Pimp’in 101: Ice-T probably has the most eclectic career of all time. I mean, how many dudes can write pimp and Law and Order cast member on their resume? The next time your mom is enjoying the show, you might want to mention this porno he narrated back in 2003. Just for kicks. Anyways, if you’re a rap fan, this one has original tracks from Ice-T and Busta Rhymes – not too shabby!
ErocktaVision Volume 10 – In Between The Sheets: Director Dana Dane must love music almost as much as she loves women because her movies always have kick ass soundtracks! Ten volumes into the Erockatvision series, they just keep getting better and better. Ariel X is amazing in this one!
Welcome To Radium: This one is for all of the metal heads out there! Tera Wray stars in this one that includes a tour of NRG Recording Studios and some footage shot at Metalfest. Oh, it also has a truckload of hot sucking and fucking, if you happen to enjoy that too!
Happy Friday! It’s almost the three-day Independence Day weekend and I’m sure everyone has BBQ and fireworks on the brain, but before you toss your swim gear on and hit the road, we’ve got one last exciting post for the day!
Back in April at the Feminist Porn Awards, I was so lucky to get a chance to sit down and chat with the fabulous Tristan Taormino! If you don’t know who Tristan is, you must be new to HM4Her, because I mention her at least a few times a week. She is an educator, author, anal expert, butt toy designer and amazing porn director – just to name a few of her many talents. Can you tell that she is my sex ed role model?
And it’s not only me that thinks Tristan is tops – this year she took home both the Feminist Porn Award for Smutty Schoolteacher Award for Sex Educational Film AND the Trailblazer Award (basically the lifetime achievement honor)! Sexy smart cookie, for sure!
I know that men like to hear that size doesn’t matter, but sometimes it does!
Today’s Top Five Tuesday features our favorite super-sized performers. While the majority of the men in adult were blessed by whatever god is concerned with such matters, these studs stand out in a sea of giant wangs.
Shane Diesel: It was nearly impossible to find a picture of Shane to use on this blog because all you ever get is cock shots with this dude! Of course, that’s because he’s packing a monster in his pants… When it comes to girth, I’m not sure anyone can top this dude.
Ben Andrews: Big Ben made a big splash in Lucas Entertainment’s The Intern as a nerd working for a porno company who has a big secret in his pants – an 11 inch uncut beauty! Besides being a hilarious movie, it was a great intro to this handsome cock slinger!
John Holmes: If there’s one guy that I had to include on this list, it’s Holmes. The legendary star from the golden age of porn is still among the biggest members of the hung stud club. Fortunately, we’ve got hundreds of videos to remember the late, great Johnny Wadd!
Lexington Steele: Steele is a guy who’s been around for ever with a good reason. He has a giant tool and knows how to use it! We have almost 600 movies starring this guy, so I can only imagine how much pussy this guy has gotten over the years.
Chris Charming: Chris is another guy who’s always mentioned when people start listing off the biggest dongs in adult. This German stud is another guy who has been around for over a decade and he has also directed a number of titles over the years. He was really great in E for Eva if you’re interested in seeing him in action!
These days it’s not uncommon to look behind the porno camera and see a woman calling the shots. Be it writing, directing, producing, etc. – ladies are taking over behind the scenes and creating a whole array of awesome movies, set from a female point of view.
While this estrogen insurgence into the porno process shows itself more readily nowadays, it’s far from a new concept. Women have held their places in porn (in the clothing on portion) for years, starting in the “Golden Age of Porn” – that period of time in the ‘70s and ‘80s when porn was just entering the mainstream.
We always love talking about ladies that represent in porn, but there is a super special reason we’re bringing it to the forefront today.
We have releasing Cecil Howard’s Scoundrels, for a limited run until July 22nd! And along with being the very first movie to win AVN’s Best Film Award, Scoundrels was actually written by a woman – Anne Randall.
According to the June 1983 edition of AVN (only the sixth edition!):
Thanks to Anne Randall’s magnificent script, Scoundrels gives us three-dimensional characters that rarely find their way into adult plots. This family is sensitive and very normal in their feelings; the abnormalities come from the unstable setting. Scoundrels takes serious themes (the kinds that Taboo and Roommates tried to tackle) one step further, showing that its subject can be erotic and dangerous at the same time. … Scoundrels classifies as thinking man’s porn.
I’m getting ready to hop in the car for a well-deserved (if I do say so myself) road trip. Four weeks, two girls and a tent. I’m pretty excited, so I thought I’d seek out some Western themed porno to help get myself in the mood for the trip and more!
This week’s Top Five Tuesday features five awesome fuck flicks full of cowboys and cowgirls who are all plenty wild!
Buckin’ Broncos: There’s no denying that Csaba Borbely shoots some the hottest guys in Europe and the stars of this film back me up. Big muscles, big cocks and plenty of hardcore action. I’m not really into the whole twin thing, but I will admit that two Mangiatti boys are definitely better than one! You don’t want to miss them poking a couple of cow hands in the final scene.
Rawhide: This is one of the first movies we added to the site, so I’m excited that I can highlight it so many years later. Adam and Eve does feature films as well as anyone and this is a great example! It’s an epic western starring Carmen Luvana, Randy Spears and Evan Stone and you’ll definitely see why they call it the Wild West!
Barely Legal – Back In The Saddle: I don’t bother with many of the Barely Legal movies, but I love what Hustler did with this themed edition of the legendary series. The scene starring Jenny Hendrix and Nick Manning is super fun and sexy! That girl can definitely ride with the best of them.
Sunshine Highway 2: I reviewed this one back in the beginning of 2010 when the weather was cold and I needed a XXX pick me up. Randy Spears, who I love, is in one scene and it’s packed full of hay bale balling and cock riding. Good stuff!
Buckback Mountain: Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite Buck Angel movie! You thought forbidden love between two cowboys was heartbreaking, imagine the pressure when one of those studs is a man with a pussy! Buck stars in every scene, so fans like me will love every second!
What do our favorite porn performers think about the industry? Inquiring minds want to know! Well, we asked and they answered! Welcome to our latest editor’s spotlight column, where we ask a bunch of stars the same question and see what kind of awesome answers grace our inbox.
This month is all about porn parodies. Whether you love them or hate them, it’s time to face the music – they are trendier than any pop culture reference I could possibly make here (ok, how about trendier than the Rachel haircut on Friends – ha see, they pornofied that too!). All of our favorite sitcoms of the last 30 years have been sucked and fucked within an inch of their commercial breaks – nothing is sacred! So, with that in mind, we wanted to know what folks thought, inside the industry.
This month’s question:
In the last year, the porn industry seems to have exploded with parodies and spoofs of every television show/movie that has ever been popular – from Not The Bradys XXX to This Isn’t The Twilight Saga New Moon – The XXX Parody, and everything in between. How do you feel about the parody trend? Do you think it benefits/hinders the industry? Why?
I’m not an expert on the mainstream industry that makes these kinds of films, but even if they’re just recycling old ideas and following the dollar signs until the fad tapers off – at least it’s an opportunity to bring humor, plot, and creativity onto a mainstream porn film set. It’s starting to get pretty old, and it makes the “go-machine-go” financial outlook in porn valley look pretty transparent.

It is fucking brilliant! I have to admit I did one of those, My film Buckback Mountain *( Brokeback Mountain) and it is one of my biggest sellers. I think people feel comfortable buying something they already know the story line too..hahahaa!! Ok maybe with a bit of a twist. WOOF!!
- Buck Angel
All of my favorite tv shows are just about done for the season, so I thought this would be the perfect time to catch up on television porno spoofs! Of course, you could go outside or pick up a book, but it’s so much easier to lounge on the couch and watch people fuck…
While it would be ideal if the actual cast would use their down time to film porn instead of movies, it’s still pretty awesome to see all of my favorite characters getting it on.
Cheers – A XXX Parody (Disc 1): Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name and sometimes you want to go where everybody’s getting laid. That’s right, there is finally a Cheers spoof. This one is totally new to the site, so I haven’t seen it yet, but I honestly can’t wait. I friggin loved Cheers! Interesting note: James Deen is NOT in this spoof.
Batman XXX – A Porn Parody: After releasing a couple of very popular (and hilarious) trailers on youtube, everyone has been waiting for the latest Batman spoof and let me just say you will not be disappointed. It’s funny, sexy and stars James Deen as Robin. Since SATC 2 isn’t doing that well, I figure this is the summer’s biggest blockbuster!
This Ain’t Beverly Hills 90210 XXX: I’m so glad Hustler came out with this one – who hasn’t thought about heading to the Peach Pit for a XXX good time! Dylan, Brenda and the crew are back and dirtier than ever. You’ll get to see your favorite 90210ers get down and dirty plus, someone finally someone answers the question we’ve all been asking, Does anyone give a shit about Donna?
TRU – A XXX Parody: I have to admit I wasn’t sure that a porno version of Tru Blood would actually be hotter. I mean, that show is definitely porn for fang bangers! I was, as usual, wrong because this one is fantastic. I loved watching Tara finally get it hard from Jason Stackhouse. Just that scene is definitely worth the price of admission.
Big Bang Theory – A XXX Parody (Disc 1): My final pick this week is for all of you who love the nerds of Big Bang Theory! I have to admit that I stopped watching this show when they moved it to 9:30, but I still look forward to watching the crew pornified! Also, shout out to New Sensations for casting the hottest nerds on tv!
