And we are BACK with Recap number three of my trip to Toronto for the 7th Annual Feminist Porn Awards. This time we are ready to actually get to the action of the awards gala, and we hope you are ready too, because this is going to be a media heavy event. I’m talking LOTS of pictures and videos crammed into this porn award extravaganza of a post. So, if you’ve put your helmet on and packed your lunch, let’s get to it.
Just to get a feel for how crowded the standing-room-only event was, here is a shot of the crowd before the awards started. All those empty seats were filled and then some! Plus a balcony. Yeah, it was awesome.
The awards kicked off with a fantastic dance troupe Ill Na Na doing a stellar performance.
I don’t even know how to explain it, other than amazingness. I mean, look at that action shot! Love it!
The host Elvira Kurt took the stage to welcome us and introduce the first presenter, the fabulous Tristan Taormino! There were so many awards to give that the gala that many of the presenters did double duty, doling out two awards. Tristan started the party off announcing the award for Hottest Lesbian Vignette, which went toJincey Lumpkin for her film Boutique. Next up she announced the Sexiest Short movie, which was taken by Toronto local N. Maxwell Lander’s super hot flick, Emile, a beautiful movie of her girlfriend getting herself off and smoking cigarettes. Really, really hot.
Check out N. Maxwell Lander accepting her butt plug and her girlfriend clapping off to the right (behind the ASL interpreter). Congrats to you both!
Next jury members (the ones that chose the winners) Skye Blue and Joseph Pauls took the stage to announce Steamiest Straight Movie winner,The Female VoyerbyPetra Joy (who was unfortunately not at the awards), and the Most Deliciously Diverse Cast winner, FUCKSTYLES (of the queer and famous) by Courtney Trouble and Tina Horn.
Congrats to Courtney, Tina and all the awesome queers involved!
Good For Her owner Carlyle Jensen and Professor Sheila Cavanagh (also on the jury) headed on stage next to present Most Arousing Adaptation and Smutty School Teacher Award For Sex Education, which went respectively to Nica Noelle’s Last Tango (wasn’t there to accept the award) and Tristan Taormino’s The Expert Guide To Advanced Anal Sex. I was lucky enough to catch Tristan accepting this awesome award for the second year in a row! Woohoo sex education!!
Next on stage we got a special treat with a performance by the amazing Olive-or-Oliver, a transgender burlesque circus-y performer with a special attraction to all things shiny and glittery. It was awesome!
After the sparkly Olive-or-Oliver left the stage, FPA organizers Carla Henderson and Lorraine Hewitt came up and gave nod to four amazing Honorable Mentions, including Seminal by Bren Ryder, TressPass by Bianca Stone and Ned Mayhem, Brunch BunchbyIan Sparks(Woohoo!) and Switch: Hometown Hottiesby Carrie Grey. I haven’t seen all of these movies, but from the clips, holy hell do I need to!
Then we took a little intermission break to stretch our leggies and ring out our soaking panties… And we are back!
Allyson Mitchell & Eden Baylee headed to the stage to present the honored websites of the night. I’ll admit I have no recollection of who these two women were (sorry!), but the winners of the website honors went to CrashPadSeries.com (Shine Louise Houston), LilyCade.com (Lily Cade), DaneJones.com, and JizLee.com (Jiz Lee)!!
Lily accepted for her win.
While Jiz went on stage for both their own win, as well as to accept CrashPad’s butt plug as well.
All those sites are seriously deserving of honor and I am so glad they were given plugs!
Before we got to the next award, the audience were privy to a special surprise treat… Buck Angel giving us a super steamy striptease! I’m so happy I got this on film (minus a few seconds because someone needed to move in front of the camera to sit down – seriously people, could you not see I was filming something important?!? Animals!)
Holy crap was it awesome! Who doesn’t love a sexy surprise like that?! Especially the part where he doused himself in lube! Woah!
Fleshbot’s Lux Alptraum hit the lube-filled stage next, presenting Hottest Kink Movie to Julie Simone’s Vicious Strap-On Bitches (no Julie Simone to accept, booo) and Hottest Dyke Film to Hella Brown: Real Sex In The City by Nenna!!! I was super disappointed to not get a good picture or video of her accepting the award, because Neena is seriously awesome. Congrats!!
I know I have the order of the evening a little mixed up, but I will say that CoCo La Creme took to the stage next, where she was looking for some hot stuff, baby, and looking to give us a balloon-filled action.
By the end, all those balloons were popped and we definitely found that hot stuff that CoCo was seeking. Yum, right?
All throughout the evening, co-host Ryan G. Hinds would pop up on the big screen and do interviews with performers and directors. He met up for a super cute rendezvous with Jiz Lee and I just had to share the video.
Seriously sexy Cliks front man Lucas Silveira headed to the podium to present Orgasmic Original Concept to the amazing Cheryl Dunye for her film Mommy Is Coming (which I cannot wait to watch in entirety!!) and Most Tantalizing Trans Film to the man of the hour (how could he not be with that strip tease?), Buck Angel for Sexing The Transman XXX!
Congrats to Buck – as well as James Darling, who was in the movie, and Lucas Silveira, who was in the non-XXX version.
Next up 2011 Heartthrob of the YearDrew DeVeaux took the stage to pass her crown to the this year’s winner… James Darling!!!
Woohoo! Congrats James Darling! That role is so fitting.
Ill Na Na returned to the stage for another amazing performance before the Good For Her folks came up to thank the organizers, volunteer and everyone involved in the production of the awards weekend. And then it was time for Movie Of The Year.
Yep, that’s when your friendly neighborhood porn blogger took to the stage to present.
Thanks to my party buddy Jess for taking pictures while I was doing my thing. I don’t love being up on stage in front of tons of folks, so I said my thing and announced the Movie Of The Year - Cabaret Desire by Erika Lust!!!
Major congrats to Erika Lust for this totally deserved win!! And with that, the awards gala transformed into a rockin’ dance party! And I was able to get some exciting pictures of folks with their awards.
Erika Lust – Movie Of The Year!
Erika and N. Maxwell Lander – Sexiest Short.
Dylan Ryan, Nenna (Hottest Dyke Film) and Drew DeVeaux.
I also had the great fortune of slipping into a stall in the bathroom with Dylan Ryan and James Darling to have a little chat after the awards. Gotta love folks who will pack into a bathroom stall with me to do an interview.
After we emerged from the bathroom, I headed over to the photo wall thing to grab a few pictures.
One with Tristan Taormino and Buck Angel.
And one with Buck Angel and myself!
And that, my friends is the end! That you for taking this crazy trip with me! And if you are interested in seeing some real photos from the evening, take a look at the Feminist Porn Award’s facebook, where there are some amazing shots!
Hope you enjoyed the recaps! Thank you Good For Her! We can’t wait til 2013!!
The 2012 Feminist Porn Awards are coming at us fast! In only two days I will be heading to the Great White North to help celebrate some of the hottest dirty movies of the past year. Pretty exciting, huh? And not only that – I have the honor of presenting the Movie Of The Year Award again this year, which thrills me and makes me full of stage fright at the very same time. Anyway, to help usher in the 2012 FPAs, take a look at our top five picks from this year’s list of noms!
Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Advanced Anal Sex – 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 (I’m a sex educator – I know these things.) 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.
Cabaret Desire- Erika Lust always offer up seriously amazing movies that are perfect for women, men and whoever else is into erotic delights! This latest masterpiece has sensual readings and steamiest sex come together at a magical, bohemian place called the Cabaret Desire. Mmm, even the name makes us a little warm under the collar. Definitely spend some time at this delicious destination!
Buck Angel’s Sexing The Transman XXX - This collection of interviews and masturbation scenes featuring four different transmen offers up the delicious variations of the transmasculine experience. Each dude gets a chance to talk a little bit about how and who he likes to have sex with, and how his sexuality has changed since starting hormones, all before stripping down and getting it on solo! While all of it is super exciting and hot, it’s also so important for other transguys to see people like them enjoying their sexuality. Never underestimate the empowerment of recognition and the indirect permission that comes along with it. This movie gave me a boner, both in my pants and in my brain – my favorite kind.
The Female Voyeur – Dished up in three vignettes, this movie focuses on just how visually-charged women can be, and how much they like watching sexy exchanges. Each piece is extra sultry and features a collection of beautiful performers that exude obvious chemistry – in both pairs and during group sex! Yum! Along with all this delicious content, the actual quality is super high end as well, with elegant sets and post-production galore. There is definitely something to be said for the trend of amazing quality in erotic, sex-positive porno. Don’t think we didn’t notice, Petra Joy!
Brunch Bunch: Queerly SF (Disc 1) -Brunch Bunch is full of trans-identified folks with a whole bunch of different bodies, playing together and experience pleasure in a ton of various ways. It’s always awesome to see folks get off in the ways that work best for them, as well as important for other people to see that there is no one way to use your body, no matter how you experience your body. While this may not have been made with a teachable moment in mind, this sexy educator just brought it there. If hot queer action is your thing, you’ve just hit the mother load.
Good luck to all the noms!! I can’t wait til the awards!
It’s that time of year again! The Feminist Porn Awards are right around the corner and this year’s nominees have just been announced.
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!
Alright, without further adieu, your 2012 nominees!!
That you should have a very happy International Women’s Day!! March 8th is the day when we take extra time to really celebrate women on a global scale and show just how much we appreciate and respect them.
We think a celebration of female orgasms would be the perfect way to honor all the women of the world!
Try an awesome lady-focused studio, like Femorg or Petra Joy, which are all about women’s pleasure!
The Porn Librarian wrote a bisexual Top Five Tuesday a few years ago, but I definitely think it’s worth revisiting. We don’t talk about bi movies nearly enough around here, so I’m giving you my top top picks that I think are in need of your attention. I love watching different different bodies and preferences in action and I’m pretty sure many of you do too. Enjoy!
The Female Voyeur: This movie is super sensual and totally dirty. The men perform with each other for women, but get it on with the ladies as well. Petra Joy, being the female fantasy focused director that she is, gets it done right. I recommend spending some time watching scene 3 and the beautiful pile of flesh and leather straps that goes along with it.
Fluid: Men Redefining Sexuality:I love interviews in porn! I mean, if I was at home looking for a quick scene to assist me in a self induced orgasm, I wouldn’t sit and listen. BUT, I love getting beneath the surface of an adult performer. I like hearing their thoughts and feelings on sex, identity and anything really. I’m all about fantasies, but I also like getting to know the person behind the smut. While Fluid is filled ridiculous amounts of hotness, it also does a great job of letting us in to the minds of men who are indeed fluid in their sexuality. A+
Bisexual Threesome:I chose this movie for the old school bisexual goodness, but it was far more interesting than just some grainy porno footage. The movie opens up with a squirt gun cum shot! At first I thought they were blowing their load super early, but as the shot changes, you see there is a penis sheath over the head of a plastic gun. I’m not sure what they used as the splooge, but it was definitely realistic!
Sex Experiments:I haven’t actually watched this movie yet, but from the looks of J.D.’s review i need to! There is hot bi action, but this is actually more exciting to me: “What sets these rock star interviews apart from other ones I’ve seen is that these chats end with the guys naked and jerking off while Anna Span is chatting with them about sex and random stuff. They could be out getting tea and having the exact same conversation – everything is just that natural and relaxed.”
Husbands Teaching Wives How To Suck Cock #3:At first I thought this was going to be an annoying movie with uber typical porno stuff going on. Then I realized that Danny Wylde and Wolf Hudson star in the first scene together! Yay porno dreams! These are two of my favorite performers and man do they look hot sucking each others’ cocks. They show Cece Stone how it’s done, but they also share their wangs with her. Hot! It’s all oral in this piece.
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.
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!
Yesterday I got an email from Shoosh over at Triangle Films (one of my favorite people in the industry, btw) letting me know that their movie Justine Joli LOST is going to be shown at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. Along with the message she sent me over the catalog for the event and HOLY CRAP are there are TON of amazing movies screening there. I can’t even name all of the awesomeness that is going to be pouring out of Berlin next week!
While I only listed movies that we have on HotMoviesForHer here, there is a whole host of new films and studios that we don’t have (yet! I am using this catalog as a wish list!). Seriously, you need to take a look.
Obviously I want to be at this festival more than I can even express, but it’s a no-go on my end, and for all the other folks that are low funds/saving their vacay for tropical destinations, be sure to watch these awesome movies here on HM4Her!
I had been looking forward to watching this movie since I first heard about it, which was before we even had it on the site. As a huge Petra Joy fan, I am always ready and eager to spend a little time in her amazingly sex-positive, feminist, female-focused world. And, of course, The Female Voyeur did not disappoint. Petra Joy films are, well, a joy to watch and her latest masterpiece joins a collection that I consider a must-see for anyone that likes thoughtful, engaging smut.
Dished up in three vignettes, this movie focuses on just how visually-charged women can be and how much they like watching sexy exchanges. Each piece is extra sultry and features a collection of beautiful performers that exude obvious chemistry – in both pairs and during group sex! Yum! Along with all this delicious content, the actual quality is super high end as well, with elegant sets and post-production galore. There is definitely something to be said for the trend of amazing quality in erotic, sex-positive porno. Don’t think we didn’t notice!
One of my favorite things about all three of the vignettes is that each of them include strong, sexually-charged women who are running the show. Be it in a sexy slave scenario, dirty photo shoot or pervy stage show – these women know what they want and how to get it. And lucky for us, they go for it! If you like female-centered porns chock full of hot bodies and exciting action, this is seriously one for you. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Petra Joy! This movie makes me so happy that I am, indeed, a voyeur!
Happy International Women’s Day!! March 8th is the day when we take extra time to really celebrate women on a global scale and show just how much we appreciate and respect them. Since we do that every day here at HM4Her, I thought I would take a few minutes and give a little super shout out to some of my favorite porno makin’ ladies from around the world. The focus tends to land on the USA more often than not, so I want to make sure you know about all these fabulous women of the world!
First up is the amazing Erika Lust. Based out of Barcelona, Spain, Lust (though she is Swedish) creates the most beautiful erotic scenes that just burst at the seams with emotion and sensuality. She is also an accomplished author, writing about porn, sexuality, and even where to pick up a good dildo when you are traveling through Europe. Her documentary “Barcelona Sex Project” is one of the most thoughtful, engaging pieces about masturbation that this jaded reviewer has ever seen. In fact, when I have to make a recommendation for great porn for women, Erika Lust always tops my list. Definitely check her out!
Petra Joy is another director that makes my short list of fabulous porn for women. This German filmmaker whips art and sex together to make the most delicious pieces of porno candy. Her films are creative and raw in a way that makes you want to hit the rewind button after each scene so you can take it in again to see everything you missed.
Up in the Great White North we’ve got Bren Ryder of GoodDykePorn – and that’s just what she makes. Bringing real folks to the screen for real, authentic sex, Ryder tosses the mainstream idea of ‘lesbian porn’ on it’s ass and gives us lady lovin’ ladies a chance to show you how we really get down and dirty. You want to see this!
I know, there are so many more amazing women I didn’t get a chance to touch on! I could be here all night making a list of everyone that needs to be on here, but alas, I chose to just focus on a few so I can go celebrate all the lovely ladies out and about in the world! Go out and do the same yourself… after you watch all this super hot porn!
Happy Lady Porn Day! That’s right, today is Lady Porn Day – a specific day dedicated to exploring porn and masturbation for women! So exciting, right? Rachel Rabbit Write of RabbitWrite.com saw the crazy stigma around women watching dirty movies and decided to do something about, which led to this fabulous online campaign of smut appreciation.
So many bloggers and porno folks are getting into the action, including Jiz Lee, Violet Blue, Lux Alptraum, and a ton more! Just check out the hashtag #LadyPornDay postings on twitter!
In honor of the work folks are doing to celebrate and educate about the awesomeness of lady porn, here are some of my personal favorite sex positive, female friendly movies – specifically one that I think will change women’s ideas of what porn is all about! Read the rest of this entry »
