Chemistry

If I had to choose someone that I look up to in the porn world and was only allowed to pick one – that person would be Tristan Taormino.   Pornographer/sex educator/author/anal advocate extraordinaire, Taormino is one of the most multifaceted, engaging people in the industry – as well as the sexuality field in general.  If you don’t know her movies already, consider yourself lucky to have stumbled on this blog post and get to watching!

Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry An Experiment – Think Real World, but with better sex!  Taormino stuck seven porn stars together in a house for 2 days and left them to their own devices, resulting in some of the most honest, exciting porno I’ve ever encountered.  Confessionals and handheld cams included!  This experiment was the start of a beautiful series that captures performer interactions in a whole different light.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Female Orgasms – If I’m looking for instructional porn, there are only two people I will turn to – Tristan Taormino and Nina Hartley.  And coming from a sex educator, that’s nothing to sneeze at!  Taormino’s educational movies are sexy, thought-provoking and full to the brim with easy to understand tips and techniques.  This is not your high-school sex ed!

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex – What do you get when you ask porn performers to divulge their real life kinky fantasies and then act them out with the partner of their choosing?  One of the most amazingly hot hardcore series that has ever graced the porno screen.  Breaking down the boundaries between performing and fucking, this series is so much more than just dirty movies.

Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men –While many folks only acknowledge the lack of discussion around female sexuality, there really aren’t many people talking about anal pleasure for men.  Taormino goes where other pornographers and sex educators tend to avoid – and opens conversations that we should have been having all along.  I am smitten with her!

Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind – A first in the Rough Sex Series, Tristan follows the fantasies of only one porn performer (Adrianna Nicole) and allows her to experience a number of her desires, including a Bowie-esque bang with Jiz Lee and a shower gang up.  Love it!

HM4Her loves Tristan Taormino!

As much as I love porn and all its awesomeness, it is pretty rare that I eagerly await the release of a porno movie. Sure they come to me and I am excited to see them, but it’s not so often that I hear about a movie and wait with baited breath for it to arrive on my computer screen. It takes an amazing movie to get me all tingly before I even hit play, and this time around I have only two words for you: Rough Sex. Rough Sex 2, actually, as in Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 2, the second installment of her revolutionary porn series that brings the real fantasies of the actual performers to the screen and rattles the lines between reality and fiction.

When it comes to any of Tristan Taormino’s movies, I really believe revolutionary is the best way to get her work across. Before the Rough Sex series ever came to pass, there was her straight up instructional videos that removed the drabness and lackluster from educational porn and brought the genre into an engaging whirlwind of anatomy, explanation and hot sexin’. Then was her Chemistry series that brought a group of porn stars together in a house for 36 hours and let them decide who did what with whom and how they did it. The movies brought that behind-the-scenes negotiation to the screen and showed us performers in control of their careers and choices. All of that realness came across in what I can only describe as some of the hottest sex I’ve seen from a mainstream porn company.

And then we have Rough Sex. I was seriously blown away when I first heard of Taormino’s idea of taking the real actors’ desires and creating porno magic. Removing that screen between performer and real person could be risky in some instances, but Taormino sets up some of the safest spaces I’ve seen in porn and brings a general sense of calm and trust to whatever she is working on. But we’ve already reviewed Rough Sex. This time, we are on round two! Read the rest of this entry »

A bunch of weeks back, I was watching the premiere of Conan O’ Brien taking over The Tonight Show, when all of a sudden Conan was hanging out in the middle of the Vivid Entertainment Group’s offices.  What the hell?  Apparently Conan was just paying a visit to his new neighbors, who reside right across the street from his Tonight Show set. 

Yep, Vivid was on The Tonight Show.  That is how big the porno emipre of Vivid really is - they’ve become a household name…  a sexy, sexy household name, like Hitachi Magic Wand, or Debbie Does Dallas.  And with more than 2000 movies and a slew of super hot contract girls under their belt, as well as changing the face of porn and adult marketing since 1984,Vivid is turing 25!

Quite often, porn series seem like a joke to me. I mean, were the first 47 editions of Big Dicks Stretching Her Tight Slit not enough? Of course, if that’s what does it for you, I’m not hear to judge, but when you’ve had tens of thousands of pornos go through your hands, it starts to seem silly.

However, there are a few adult series that I love and I’m pretty excited when a new edition is released. Sadly, these are from people who are cranking out a new volume every month, but I’m a patient girl and willing to wait for quality JO material.

Leave it to Tristan Taormino to take porno to the next level. Not only is this sex educator extraordinaire an author, editor and director, she’s a totally innovator! Bringing it back to the stylings of the very first reality show, Tristan goes “Real World” on porn and brings seven stars together for 36 hours with no scripts, no directions and no expectations. Just decide who you wanna fuck and make a scene. It could have been a complete disaster, but instead Tristan Taormino in actuality created an amazing space for porn stars to really talk about their experiences and get down to the nitty gritty of the industry.

This installment, the first of the series, brings together the likes of Dana DeArmond, Kurt Lockwood, Mika Tan, Jack Lawrence, Mr. Marcus, Taryn Thomas and Marie Luv. That is one house full of hotness. It was really cool to hear the stars talk as a group about the issues of working in the adult industry and the stigmas and challenges they face. While I loved the actual sex, of course, to me it’s always a treat to listen to porn stars talk about being porn stars. Cut me some slack, I’m an academic pervert.

The talking was great and all, but it Taryn Thomas, Kurt Lockwood and Mika Tan in scene 6 that totally took this reality raunch romp to that lip biting, squirming in your chair place. Mika Tan straps on and fucks Kurt Lockwood! How fucking hot! Don’t trust me – stop reading and get to clicking the link!

I’m not sure if you noticed this, but everything Tristan Taormino touches basically turns to gold. Whether she’s tackling open relationships in her latest book or teaching the masses the joys of anal sex in her educational video series - she consistently produces amazing sex ed materials. And if you’ve checked out any movies in her Chemistry series, you know she can shoot a pretty hot porno too! Like so many sexperts, she’s put in her time at Babeland and they recently posted a new interview with this amazing woman!

Here’s a taste, but head over to babeland for the rest!

What did you learn at Babeland that helped you in the wide world of sex education after you left? I think one of the most important lessons for me was to leave my own sex life out of it, and approach everyone without any judgment. I needed to meet each person where they were at. When someone said, ‘I am looking for something big,’ I asked them to show me what they meant, rather than assuming. You need to listen to people, empower them to ask for what they need and want.

You’ve long been seen as the “Anal Sex Guru” – did you have any idea starting out that you would become so associated with that particular sexual activity? Well, I did write the book on the subject! Really, I don’t feel pigeon-holed or anything. If I am forever known as the anal sex expert, I am okay with that.

Be sure to check out the fourth volume of Chemistry. It’s the orgy edition, so i’m thinking you’ll be glad you did!

This movie was really fun. I mean, I grew up watching MTV’s The Real World so when I heard about the premise of Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry series, I was pretty excited. In case you’re unaware, it works like this: six porn stars, picked to live together for 36 hours, and have their sexy lives taped.

Everyone in the cast seems to genuinely like each other and they’re all having a lot of fun. At one time, Evan Stone even dons a tiger suit and everyone has a good laugh. They also can’t seem to keep their hands off of each other (and themselves) – which seems to be even more fun. Tristan Taormino arranges for a couple who are experts in tantra to visit the house and the stars seem to really enjoy and learn a lot from what they were saying.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the confessional-style interviews that occur throughout the movie. You begin to see a side of the stars that you don’t get from watching your average porn movie and it makes them a little more human. Tyler Knight (who’s fucking sexy as hell) talks about connecting with Penny Flame while they had sex and Penny Flame breaks down at one point and sheds a few tears.

This movie has two discs to it and I watched both. Taormino has a knack for making sexy movies with a heart that are enjoyable to watch.

And who knows, maybe next time they’ll try Wife Swap.

I love this movie. Love it! I’m also the kind of person that gets totally suckered into watching marathons of The Real World and Surreal Life for hours. You give me people stuck together in a house with a confessional, I give you my full attention. And if you’re like me, and in it for the long haul, this flick is for you. There is a ton of hot sex in this movie, but it’s not all quick to the draw. There are also loads of interviews and fun, non-sexual interactions between the porn star housemates, some of which turn into really hot, hardcore action.

The way it works is that the housemates create scenes and request partners for themselves, and they fuck as the professionals they are, but on a different level. It’s almost as if they break down the barriers between how they fuck on the job and how they fuck in their personal lives. That’s what I love about it. They have discussions about working in porn that actually get to a fairly deep place about the process and how they negotiate working and having sex with people on and off camera. And let’s not forget the sex! Hot, hot, hot! There’s a lot of laughing and joking around – basically everyone looks like they are having a genuinely good time as they get off. Like I said, this movie rocks!
