- She is an amazingly talented feminist porn director who makes beautiful erotic movies with women in mind.

- She recently won Movie Of The Year at the 2012 Feminist Porn Awards for her film “Cabaret Desire.”

- This is her third Movie Of The Year award from the FPAs, including last year’s for “Life, Love, Lust.”

- She is a bad-ass mama with two young daughters (that she plans to be open and honest with about female sexuality!).

- She doesn’t know how to create a bad movie.  Don’t believe us, take a look at her films!

There is so much more to say about Erika Lust, but instead, why don’t you just see for yourself!

For those of you not in the know, Erika Lust is one of the most exciting erotica directors to date.  Each movie she creates is full to the hilt with thoughtful, engaging action that is pulsating with beauty and the power of sexuality.  Seriously, this woman knows how to bring the heat!  Don’t believe me, just watch her films.  And clearly we aren’t the only ones who feel this way, because Lust has won THREE Feminist Porn Awards “Movie Of The Year” Awards, including the 2012 title for her latest film, Cabaret Desire.

Alright, take a minute to refresh yourself with Part 1 & Part 2 and then click play for more Erika Lust!

It’s no secret that everyone here at HotMoviesForHer has a total crush on feminist porn director Erika Lust. She consistently offer us thoughtful, sexy movies that capture the beauty and power of sexuality, and instead of churning out movie after movie (though that’s not a bad thing either!), Lust takes her time getting every last detail just right and making each video as amazing as possible. Seriously – everything this lady touches turns to pure porno gold.

We were both recently in Toronto for the Feminist Porn Awards (where her latest movie “Cabaret Desire” won Movies Of the Year!!), so we had the chance to sit down and chat.  Take a look at part one again, then come back here and hit play!

Amazing, right?

Stay tuned for Parts 3 & 4!

Alright, I know that I am gushing a little bit, but honestly, look at this woman’s repertoire and you tell me that you wouldn’t be waxing a little poetic.  And clearly we aren’t the only ones who feel this way, because Lust has won THREE Feminist Porn Awards “Movie Of The Year” Awards, including the 2012 title for her latest film, Cabaret Desire.

While we were both in Toronto for the awards a few weeks back, I had the great fortune of sitting down with Erika Lust for a chat about the work she does, her ideas about the industry in general and women’s sexuality in general.  And lucky for you all, I got the whole thing on video.  In fact, the interview was so long, we had to break the interview into four parts!

Before I post the video of  part 1, I really have to say that Erika Lust is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth folks I’ve ever had the pleasure of interviewing.  She was nervous about being in front of the camera, but once she got going, her passion and obvious love for what she does took over and her amazing energy lit up the whole screen.  See for yourself!

Boy, oh boy, that Erika Lust is one feminist porno bad ass!  I love it!

Stay tuned for more!

- Sometimes you just need a visual representation that you are, in fact, a dickhead…

- A Jezebellian look at the Feminist Porn Awards and feminist porn in general.

- Speaking of porno (as we do), HuffPo asks how queer and indie porn sites are reframing the industry.

- Porn stars + Fashion = Awesome.  That is all.

- Oh man, XKCD gets it right every single time!

- The poster for the new Linda Lovelace biopic is out!  Amanda Seyfried looks pretty amazing.

- Oh, you know, it’s just Paul Rudd, enjoying some water… out of a giant penis water bottle.  Just another Wednesday afternoon.

- Synthetic vagina scent.  Erotic or strange? You be the judge.

- I hope all you New Yorkers took advantage of the van roving around the city on April 24th that had Bree Olson giving out free breast exams.

- Vice caught up with Erika Lust while she was in North America for the Feminist Porn Awards.

- And lastly, this video from SaferSex4Seniors.org is fantastic! (Also, I had the great fortune of going to school with some of the folks involved in this organization.  They are awesome!!)  (via Buzzfeed)

Hope this gets you through til the weekend!

There is something seriously sexy about solo bondage play.  While it doesn’t invoke the usual porno formula of stimulation until orgasm, the stark difference makes it extra hot in my mind.  Whether the ladies are tied with rope, rolled in duct tape, gagged with an apparatus that has a toilet brush attached (how else would the slave clean the toilet??), or rigged high above the floor, they are all having the time of their lives.  Who needs climax when you can barely move your (consensually) trapped body?

Of course since I am a sex educator through and through, I need to add this piece in. While most of these women seem to be bound and all alone, in fact there is someone with these ladies at all times (you know, behind the camera).  I personally would not suggest getting yourself into a bondage situation you may not be able to get out of without anyone else around.  Sounds like it could end badly.  Heck, even if you know you could easily escape, still let someone know what’s going on.  The last thing I want is someone really getting hurt from something that is supposed to be sexy fun.

All in all, I love this tied up party for one.  Even with each scene offering up a similar premise, the variations were just enough to keep my attention for the whole 90 minutes.  Nice work, Ms. Simone.   I wish you luck in Toronto (and hope to God that you are there and I get to meet you!).

Watch “Babes In Bondage 4” Now!

What?  You say you’ve never heard of the Feminist Porn Awards?!  Well, sit down and let me school you before we bust out the noms.  The Feminist Porn Awards (or FPAs) is an annual event that showcases the best of the best in porn made for and by forward-thinking feminist folks of all genders (though the movies have to have a woman’s hand in the production, writing, directing, etc.). The FPAs are the do all and say all when it comes to porn created specifically with women in mind.HotMoviesforHer is so thrilled to be sponsoring the awards again this year!  We are literally counting the days to the ceremony!  That’s right, I will be at the awards in Toronto, April 19th & 20th, representing HM4Her!

So, take a look at the first part to this interview, then check out part two!

Oh, and definitely watch their latest movie, Artcore!  You won’t be sorry!

Anyway, one of the great things they did that weekend was come to my room and shoot a little video.  Ok, not THAT kind of video (hey, a girl can dream) – an interview!  A few months back, we interviewed the pair at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, which was fantastic, but I wasn’t actually able to be there to conduct the interview (I just sent my questions with our people that were there), so I knew I had to lure them into my room to get the scoop myself.  Also, the last time we interviewed them, it was pretty much all about their latest movie, Artcore, which is awesome, but I wanted to talk about other stuff too.

April and Carlos were downright charming (duh) and spent a good long while answering my questions and generally being the rock stars that they are.  Take a look at our awesome chat about how they got started, what it’s like working together and what is coming in the near future!

Pretty fantastic, right?  Also, here’s a really cute picture of April and I right after the interview as well.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of our chat with April and Carlos, coming next week!

I mean really, look at this wicked hot picture and tell me that heartthrob isn’t the first thing to pop into your head… well, after you get over the initial “I Want! Gimme Gimme Gimme” thoughts.

* Drew was named Heartthrob of the Year at the 2011 Feminist Porn Awards, which you probably already knew, but for those folks who don’t hang on my every word…
