Editors Spotlight

March is Women’s History Month!

Tristan Taormino is one of our heroes here at HotMoviesForHer.com.

She’s an award-winning author, sex-educator and filmmaker whose Village Voice column “Pucker Up” has been one of the most popularly syndicated sex columns in the nation since it’s inception in 1999. A former editor of the widely respected lesbian magazine On Our Backs, Tristan has also written the bestselling books Down and Dirty Sex Secrets, True Lust: Adventures in Sex, Porn and Perversion and what is considered the Holy Bible of anal sex, The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, which has just been reprinted in it’s second edition. She has been the recipient of the prestigious Lambda Literary Award twice and has collected two AVN awards for her work in adult film.

In addition to her extensive college tours and renowned how-to sex workshops, Tristan was the resident sexpert and recurring guest on the ninth season of Ricki Lake in 2003 and has been as a guest on Sunday Night on CNN, The Scarborough Report on MSNBC, The Howard Stern Show on E! Entertainment Television, and The Other Half on NBC. She has also has been profiled on The Sex Files on the Discovery Health Channel and has been featured in two episodes of HBO’s Real Sex. More on Tristan.

Whew! Seriously.

After a five year hiatus from adult film, Tristan amazingly found time to jump back in the saddle by directing House of Ass. A reality-TV inspired gonzo flick, House of Ass features seven strangers, picked to fuck in a house and have their lives taped…

Sound familiar?

Tristan’s vision was to “bring together a bunch of pornstars and the idea was to put them in an environment where they could relax, hang out. I could get to know them, they could get to know each other and we could film it all. I wanted to see what it might be like if they actually let their guard down…because the thing you always have to keep in mind is that they are performers. The standard is: they come to the set, they do their scene, they go home. So what would it be like if you hung out and then you had sex when you felt like it? Not on my schedule, but on their schedule. And what if they had sex with whomever they wanted to? I want people to put themselves together and then…. see what happens.”

What happens makes for a hot fucking movie.

The film is intentionally loose- no real (obvious) structure, no real planning. The viewer gets to see what it’s like behind the scenes when their favorite stars are just hanging out and talking about what they like and don’t like. In adult film, it’s easy to get lost in the bump n’ grind…the grunts, the flesh, the friction. Actors become less like human beings with real fears and flaws and more like nameless fuck machines whose existence is to get you, the viewer, off. However, in House of Ass, we become privy to the inner-workings of how porn stars operate on set. Are they ever hesitant? Do they have inhibitions? Keeping with the reality-TV inspired verite, sex scenes are book ended by Real World-esque confessionals where actors spill their guts both before and after their scenes. We come to care, not only about the size of their dicks or the firmness of their tits, but about their thoughts, feelings and reactions to what they’ve just displayed on screen. It’s an insider’s view that’s rarely explored- especially in a commercial film.

Because Tristan is such an expert on both sexuality and pornography, she knows exactly what she’s doing behind the camera. She’s able to capture the realistic heat without the unrealistic overindulgence. No prolonged super close-ups, no overdubbing edits- what you see is, no doubt, what happened. And because the atmosphere was intentionally set to “casual”, we see our stars fucking, not for performance sake, but for personal pleasure. They are having fun! This isn’t employment…this is carnal contentment.

So be sure to check out House of Ass, now playing here at HotMoviesForHer, and keep your eyes peeled for the 2007 AVN nominations…we’re betting it’ll be nominated like whoa! come next January.

March is Women’s History Month!

We here at HotMoviesForHer.com have an appreciation for the classics…those gems from the 70′s and 80′s when pornography was just coming into it’s own and the Santa Monica Valley was the place to be. But behind the feathered mops and shiny polyester suits there was a real movement brewing…and it all started with Gerard Damiano‘s films Deep Throat, starring Linda Lovelace, and The Devil in Miss Jones starring Georgina Spelvin. Deep Throat, thought of as the single most influencial adult film in history, has since gone on to gross upwards of $600 Million Dollars since it’s release in 1972 and, along with The Devil in Miss Jones, has spawned countless remakes and sequels.

In 1978 another iconic film came along, Debbie Does Dallas, starring Bambi Woods. Since it’s release, there have been nearly 25 sequels and spin-offs that have proven to be nearly as successful as the original. In fact, chances are if you’ve never even heard of pornography, you’ve heard of the “Debbie Does…” series. However, contrary to the title, the film is not set in Dallas nor does the titular Debbie “do” anyone in or from Dallas. In 2002 Debbie Does Dallas was made into an off-Broadway musical comedy. Unlike the original movie, the musical does not contain any sex or nudity, which caused some disappointment among people, as false hype had been made and the musical’s producers did nothing to dismiss it. Nevertheless, it’s impact is evident.

Things have changed since the 70′s. In 1970, a Federal study estimated that the total retail value of all the hardcore porn in the United States was no more than $10 million. By 2003, Americans were estimated to spend as much as $8 to $10 billion on pornography alone! Who is Debbie doing now?

March is Women’s History Month!

One cannot talk about legendary women in the adult industry without mentioning Nina Hartley, a name synonymous with sex positive porn and instruction. A nursing student from the top of her class, Nina made her film debut in 1984 under the directive eye of Juliet Anderson (another adult icon!) and lucky for us, hasn’t stopped since! An exhibitionist at heart, Nina is an icon in the industry proving that “bookish” girls can be just as hot and sexy as the next porn star.

But her success is more than just good looks. A woman with brains and an insatiable sexual appetite (and who damn well knows what she likes!) is bound to make an impact in an industry thought to be demeaning to women. Nina became an industry advocate, speaking out and fighting for the rights and freedoms that help allow you to get your video-watching rocks off today.

With hundreds of movies under her belt (and her panties!), she is one of the most recognizable stars in the adult world. Word is, she even taught Ron Jeremy how to eat some awesome pussy! So it’s no surprise that she started her own instructional series, Nina Hartley’s Guide To…, where she not only shows how to do just about everything there is to do with sex, but includes some hot example scenes to get you started. See firsthand how her down to earth and open personality helped make these some of the most popular instructional videos ever made in our exclusive interview with her. If you know what’s good for you (and of course you do!), make your partner watch it to get some excellent sex tips straight from the master (hint, hint)!

Some of the best porn ever made can credit Nina as being one of the stars. Married to Ernest Greene (a prominent fetish director and performer), Nina knows how to keep her sex life just as happy off camera as on camera, and is not shy about making sure that you do too! We should all be thankful that this incredible woman exists, as there is no one better to not only welcome you to your first adult movie but to keep you going through your porn-pleasuring years
