When it comes to porn for women, the first name is my mind is always Candida Royalle.  Long before there was a marketplace of women making dirty movies for women, there was Candida Royalle, creating porn she was interested in watching with her studio, Candida Royalle’s Femme.  This particular movie is from the late ‘90s, but Ms. Royalle has been rocking the porno screen since the mid ‘80s, giving us what we wanted before we even knew it could be an option – and always mixing interesting stories with her tasteful, yet hardcore sexy, action.

Candida Royalle’s One Size Fits All is billed as a sex comedy in 5 acts, but really it reminds me more of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” though with a risqué purple dress that makes all of the people who owned it think about the amazing sex they had while wearing it, and/or have amazing sex while trying it on.

Funny enough, out of a group of four friends, it just so happens that two of the women have owned the dress before, from the same dirty dog man who gave it to each of them – and the third friend found it in a thrift store after it was dropped off there by yet another woman.  They offer it up to the fourth friend to borrow (and her assistant who tries it out), making it so every single person in the movie that wears that dress gets the awesome fucking of their life (five in total – hence the five acts).

My favorite of the bunch is, of course, Nina Hartley.  She is charming as she gets so excited over trying on the dress and reminiscing about the amazing sex she had with the man who gave it to her.  We get to see that action, so it’s easy for us to see why she would want to think about all those hot memories.  The guy (Mark Davis) is super sexy and quite the attentive lover, giving Nina (Tammy, in the movie) everything she wants.  Too bad he ends up being a jerk later in the movie, which we find out, but don’t see.  The rest of the sex is really exciting too – including an amazing hot fitting room scene with Tom Byron and Gina Rome.  Plus we even get a cameo from director Candida herself in the beginning.

I don’t know if I’d call this a “sex comedy” as it is touted, but it’s definitely a great plot-driven porn with a smart story, great cast, and smokin’ sex.  Check it out!

This morning, I came into work to an email about porno trends from 2011 – including info about the busiest performers of the year.  Apparently out of all the female porn stars making movies in 2011, the most prolific of them all was India Summer, coming in with 78 titles.  Impressive!  So, to honor her hard work, I thought we’d showcase some of our favorite India Summer movies from 2011!  Here are our top 5!

Nina Hartley’s Maximum MILFs: India Summer AND Nina Hartley – it’s a MILF match made in heaven.  Ok, so they never fuck each other, but really any movie that would feature them both is sure to be awesome.  I’m admit that the whole MILF (Mother I’d Like to Fuck) genre is weird to be, because I don’t think performers of a “certain age” need to be categorized by age marking genres.  I mean really, I’m pretty sure hot is just hot.

Hard Working Girls: I am so grateful to Filly Films for pairing India Summer with the delicious Dylan Ryan (three cheers for redefining pizza delivery porn!).  In fact, all the pairings in this hard working lesbo flick are fabulously hot and soooo worth watching.

Open Invitation: A Real Swinger’s Party in San Francisco: This plot-driven meets reality (real SF swingers) porn may not have been released in 2011, but it’s still one of my very favorites, so it makes the list.  Not only is India Summer fantastic in this Private video, the flick offers up teachable moments that talk frankly about swinging and open relationships, including why and how they work.  I can’t help but love when sexy education seeps into porno. Plus it was nominated for a ton of 2011 AVNs and won a Feminist Porn Award.

Home Improvement XXX – A Parody (Disc 1): Who doesn’t like a good porno parody?  Especially one based on a Tim Allen TV show?  India may play a bit part as a family friend who seduces the oldest “kid,” Chad, but she still puts on quite a show.  Yum.

The Interns 2: More sexy soap opera than standard porno, this high quality all-girl release is definitely something new and exciting to check out.  India starts the action off right, fucking Samantha Ryan during a advertising meeting.  If that’s what it takes to sell an ad to India Summers, where do I sign up?  And keep an eye out for this nominee at the 2012 AVN Awards coming up soon!

Check out more India Summer here on HotMoviesForHer!

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.

And as we are going overboard with the holiday cheer, this month we asked:

What special holiday traditions are
you looking forward to the most?

“This is the first Christmas w/o my Dad, who died at age 95 1/2 this past January, so we’re looking forward to a large gathering on the 25th. The tradition is for baking Stollen, a German Christmas bread that we have at brunch. We make the dough the night before and let it rise overnight. Then we get up early and bake the loaves, to go along with the rest of the brunch: scrambled eggs w/mushrooms and herbs, fruit cup, hot chocolate and really good coffee. This year we’re expecting  at least fifteen people for brunch, perhaps a few more, if a couple of cousins can make it. It’s going to be a very nice day.” – Nina Hartley

“Every Holiday season I enjoy ‘Peacock Lane’, which is a tour of house that have gone all out for the holiday season with decorations and lights.  Plus every Christmas Eve, my chosen family and I get all dolled in an evening gown, enjoy an elegant dinner, and go to ‘The Nutcracker’.  We end the night with opening one present and having egg nog cocktails or hot toddies.” – Sophia St. James

“Living in San Francisco, our holidays are in the Summer (Pride and Folsom Street Fair).  A recent midwinter tradition, and it’s Santa focused, is going to Marlena’s bar in Hayes Valley, near Civic Center in SF.  Marlena is one of the, how do you say this politely… senior Drag Queen’s in the area.  She decorates the bar in December with countless Santa dolls and ornaments.  And by countless, I mean it.  The bar tender last week said they added 300 more this year and I have no idea where they can put more.  But it always gets me in the Christmas spirit.” - Ian Sparks

“The annual Angel’s Christmas party for the kids in my pueblo in Mexico! This year we have 80 kids coming to the party. It makes me so happy to be able to give them something to remember every year. I am a very fortunate person and to be able to share and see the joy, well I cannot put in words. This year we have Santa, a clown and an elf. Happy Holidays to everyone and I hope the New Year brings you amazing happiness.” – Buck Angel

“Playing the Beatles Monopoly Game with some of my family. Instead of money, the banker deals Love; instead of properties, there are concerts; and the playing pieces are things like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. When I play, I am the Walrus, coocoo ca choo!” – Jiz Lee

“Sweet potato curry latkes, Channukah stockings (filled by Channukah Goblins), decorating our holiday shrubbery and seeing a new movie on Christmas day while everyone else is opening presents!” - Shanna Katz

“The tradition I’m looking forward to most is simple: time set aside to visit my family. I can’t make any excuses because no one shoots porn on Christmas. I miss my family and really just want to spend some time with them.” – Danny Wylde

“I look forward to enjoying a quiet, reflective solstice and spending time with my family over Christmas.” – Tobi Hill-Meyer

“The special holiday traditions are I am looking forward to the most are spending time with my family, decorating, and most of all giving gifts. I try to be a thoughtful gift giver, and my favorite part of gift giving is watching the recipient open it. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and amazing 2012.” – April Flores


“Being with super fun cousins – lots of them! – for a couple of days…lots of laughter, great food, and all around silliness. What a great departure from all the stuff we have to deal with in our regular work-a-day lives!” – Candida Royalle

And to bring it home:

“My partner and I just moved in together and we are excited to create a whole new set of holiday traditions just for us, including the most important of all – Christmas Sex, complete with x-mas slow jams and themed outfits.  Oh yeah, we are keeping the birth of Christ classy!” – JD

“Since moving to Philadelphia from Florida, my boyfriend and I have started the tradition of spending Christmas day in our pajamas.  While we love and miss our families, spending Christmas day in the comfiest way possible is awesome!  We take it slow, make lots of food and just enjoy each other all day long.  Best tradition EVER!” – Ginger

Really porn, how unrealistic can you get?  I mean really, do you expect anyone to believe that Dane Cross is a geek?  Because no matter how dorky he may act in this Sweet Sinner flick, his natural sex appeal and charm end up coming to the surface, especially when it’s Nina Hartley he is fucking.  I may accept whatever fake boob or obviously embellished moan you throw my way, porn, but believing that Dane Cross is undesirable is just going too far.

Other than that monkey that I just needed to get off my back to begin with, the rest of this movie is awesome.  Pretty much any movie that features both Manuel Ferrara AND Nina Hartley gets an automatic ticket into my pants, even though they never fuck each other.  Premise is that beauty Dani Jensen breaks it off with our hero here, the geeky Dane Cross, and takes up bedding sexy doctor Manuel Ferrara (Um, can you blame her for that one? Have you SEEN his cock?!).  Dane is determined to get her back and seeks professional help in the form of Nina Hartley, a savvy sex-worker that helps Dane get on the super hot right track.

By the end, Dani is right back where she should be – impaled on Dane’s hard cock and all is right in the porno world.  That’s one thing I really love about Sweet Sinner movies, that they are so much more than just watching some fucking.  They feature storylines without being too plotty, but really do give you a reason to care about the sex more than just watching people bone.  Thanks Nica Noelle!

Continuing with our Thanksgiving trend, this month we asked:

What are you thankful for this year?

“This year I am thankful for the people in my life that add love, support, positivity and encouragement while expecting nothing in return. I am thankful to have a wonderful partner and soul mate who has been my best friend and has been by my side through out our journey together. I am thankful for my health and the health of my loved ones. I am also thankful for the lessons that life teaches us.” – April Flores



“I am greatful that I was able to complete and publish my new film The Female Voyeur. It was 14 months in the making and there were so many obstacles during the production that I was close to loosing faith. But now it is out, looks good and I am so happy about it.  I am also thankful for the growing network of sex positive feminist filmmakers. Together we revolutionize the porn industry and change the world. I am proud to present many female made porn gems on my Her Porn compilations.” – Petra Joy

“I am thankful for my beautiful and delightful son.  He teaches me every single day to be positive and enjoy even the smallest joys in life.  Also, my fans. Without my fans and their support I wouldn’t be in the position I am in.  I am humbled at every turn. ” - Sophia St. James



“I’m thankful for Adrianna Nicole’s dangerous mind, Danny Wylde’s thoughtful blog, Dylan Ryan’s irresistible tweets, Jada Fire’s smile, Christian’s love of pegging, Jiz Lee’s gender, Mr. Marcus, all the fantastic performers in the adult industry, independent sex-positive stores, and my fans who continue to support my sex ed and porn work!” – Tristan Taormino



“I’m thankful for the relationships in my life; the ones with amazing friends, a great one with my parents and especially the one with my partner who makes me laugh, supports me, is inspiring, who over this last year, has showed me what love really is.”  – Dylan Ryan



“I am thankful for my amazing family. My wife has been by my side since I took on changing the world with my work. We have since moved to Mexico where we have adopted 7 dogs and also a family that helps us with our daily lives here. My Mom and Dad have become my Mom and Dad again after years of being separated from them due to my drug problem. My sisters call me their brother. My daughter Rebekka is still alive after 20 years of being diagnosed with HIV. I feel like a lucky man to have such a loving family.” – Buck Angel



“I’m thankful for my husband, my family, my friends and my fans. I hope everyone can be with people they love on Thanksgiving. Happy season!” – Nina Hartley



“This year has been… intense. I am very thankful for being able to produce and direct my most ambitious project, a film called Cabaret Desire. Six months preproducing, two weeks of shooting, four months postproducing… and finally, Cabaret Desire is here in my hands. I am thankful for working on the film with the Poetry Brothel and their very talented “poetry whores” who gave me inspiration and imagination. Four tales of passion and sex with actors from all over the world gathered in Barcelona to create a unique and natural work. Exotic, erotic, mysterious, stereotype-free and sensual… a film that defines my view of sex and porn, that represents my inner desires and I hope makes adult entertainment more accessible to all and proves that women enjoy their sexuality to the fullest. I am thankful for being able to express myself and bring something new to people.” – Erika Lust



“I’m thankful that I got to see a lot of family this year.  I’m also thankful that I get to share my life with an incredible woman, every year.” – Shoosh, Triangle Films




“This is an easy one for me: I’m thankful for my health and my life. I kept it private while I was going through it ‘cause I hate to be perceived as anything but healthy and vibrant, but I spent the wicked winter of 2010-2011 in treatment for ovarian cancer. Outside it snowed and snowed, six blizzards total on the Northeast! Inside I did everything I could. The big C wasn’t gonna’ take me down! And it didn’t. Come spring I burst forth disease-free and ready to rock. This spring I’m planning to add another movie to my Femme line, writing the script right now, with my buddy Jamye Waxman. Look out world, nothing’s stopping this bitch!” - Candida Royalle



“I’m thankful for my family, friends and community.  An abundance of inspiration,love,support,creative energy.  I’m thankful for learning to trust, renew, forgive,Breathe and let go of negative energy that doesnt nourish our souls.  I’m thankful for space and courage to explore my sexuality through art and feminist porn.  I’m thankful for the opportunity to connect with kinky and sex positive communities on a global level.  I’m thankful for my daughter who has given me new inspiration in everything that I do.” – Madison Young

“I am thankful for the Occupy (Wall Street, Everything, Together) Movement for standing strong against our corrupt system, and encouraging one million US citizens to take their money out of big banks that steal homes and dollars from us and never pay taxes!” – Courtney Trouble



“I am thankful for my awesome husband and partner in crime Jimmy Broadway and our three beloved dogs — and the fact that we just moved to a 4500 sq. ft. shooting space in downtown LA — looking forward to making lots of kinky Severe Society Films movies as soon as space is renovated!  Also thankful for our XBIZ Awards nomination for Fetish Studio of the Year.”  – Mistress D Severe 



And we are thankful for all of these amazing performers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy 11-11-11!  I don’t know if there is really any significance to today’s date other than it just being awesome (and, of course, that it’s Veteran’s Day), but since it is,  we thought we’d celebrate with lists of our favorite 11 porns and performers!  Because why not use it as an excuse to talk about stuff we like?

First up, JD’s Top 11 Picks!

Next, we’ve got Ginger Leigh’s!

Happy 11-11-11 and have a great weekend.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tristan Taormino is fucking amazing when it comes to giving concise, easy-to-use, sexy education.  Her how-do’s merge expert knowledge with fun and passion, creating fantastic movies that are so much more than just instructional porns.   The perfect mix of discussion, interviews and demonstrations, these guides are just the thing for couples who are excited to learn something new without being bored to sleep or left in the dust while the performers are doing acrobatic acts on screen.

This newest release, an advanced guide for sexing up the booty, really is the movie for Taormino to make.  As an expert on all things anal, Tristan brings her skills to the screen and gives us all the goods on getting it on butt-style in more advanced ways.  She really is the one person I would trust my ass with above anyone else.

As with all of Taormino’s other videos, this one features amazing sexy pairings.  Kylie Ireland with James Deen, Adrianna Nicole with Danny Wylde, Bobbi Starr with Mr. Marcus, and Nina Hartley with Christian – I seriously can’t decide which scene I enjoyed most!  Each of the duos are wonderfully matched and it’s super easy to see just how much chemistry is flowing between the performers.  Even if we didn’t have interviews with each of the performers telling us about how excited they are to be doing the scene, it would still be totally obvious.  They are all a joy to watch.

One of the greatest things about this advanced video is that though it is geared towards folks who are looking for beyond the basic 101 skills, Tristan still makes sure to touch on the important info on keeping safe.  Just because someone knows how to fuck a butt doesn’t mean that they can’t benefit from a quick refresher on going slowly and using a bunch of lube.  Also, I’m sure that there are tons of people that think they are advanced enough to skip Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Sex (though they really should be watching it) and head straight to this video.  For those people, I am so glad the basics make an appearance before getting into the more complex stuff.  Thanks Tristan.

Another thing I love – that Adrianna Nicole says “Don’t put pressure on yourself.  If it isn’t going to happen today, then it will happen next time, or the time after that.  Your butt’s always going to be there.”  Wiser words were never spoken.

I was actually on my way to start watching another movie to review when I stumbled upon Nina Hartley’s Pussy Party.  Of course I instantly forgot what I was supposed to be doing (and my own name, for that matter) because the power of Nina is too strong to resist.  And a pussy party?!  I mean really, have you ever SEEN Nina Hartley handle a pussy?  All I can say is that it is an experience not to be missed.  Obviously I was meant to review this movie at this very second, and who am I to question a sign from the porno goddesses?

First up is a sweet educational romp with Isabella Star and Nina Hartley.  From the sound of it, it seems like adorable Isabella has never slept with a lady before.  Aww, a vagina virgin, how cute!  Nina gently ushers Isabella into the world of lesbian lovin’ and shows her exactly how to finesse a pussy for maximum pleasure.  Nina’s instructions are always so totally spot-on sexy and fun, as well as clear and super easy to put into practice.  She is truly a sex education deity.  And the support and enthusiasm she exudes is seriously second to none.  What a great scene.  Unfortunately they aren’t all as good for me.

I’m not gonna lie, I am a little uncomfortable with scene two’s gyno exam play.  It just rings a little bit too true to the doctor/patient power dynamic being breached for me.  Maybe if Kelly Skyline initialed the sexiness it would have been different, but with Nina running the show from the position of power, I wasn’t feeling it.

Surprisingly there were only two out of six scenes that featured Nina Hartley.  Um, isn’t called Nina Hartley’s Pussy Party?  Where is Nina Hartley!?  You’d think we’d get a little more action from the title player.  I mean, yes the other scenes are pretty fucking hot, but I was definitely disappointed that Hartley did not even make it into half of the movie.  I’m calling foul!

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!
