Let’s be honest here, most people don’t watch a porno from beginning to end. There are tons of great feature movies that deserve it, but the whole point of porno is to get off and it usually doesn’t take three hours and a detailed plot to do that.

Today’s top five features my favorite classic movies that are under 10 minutes, because sometimes you just want to get off and get on with your day!

Ron Jeremy Goes Throat Deep: Legendary director Cecil Howard recently released this amazing scene and it’s a must see for all classic porno fans. Plus Ron Jeremy is decked out in leather and cuckolds John Leslie. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

Fucked On A Ferris Wheel: I reviewed this one a while ago and still absolutely love it. It’s four minutes of NYC and frantic fucking – what else could you ask for? Plus, it’s not every day that you get to see people fucking on a Ferris Wheel.

Working On The Railroad: I realize that this one is almost 11 minutes long, but it’s too great to not include on this list. Plus i’m a bad ass rule breaker. Anyways, three dudes with amazing bodies get it on in this classic interracial quickie that ends with a slow motion cum shot!

Bondage Parade: Four quick scenes of old school BDSM footage. My favorite is the third, which features a sexy FemDom stuffing a gag into her subs dirty mouth! There’s some good rope work and it’s a reminder that girls have long enjoyed being tied up.

Sharon Mitchell’s Airport Bathroom Gang Bang: There are so many gems out there just waiting to be discovered. I found this one about a month ago and have been meaning to review it… Mitchell is totally rad and this scene is one you don’t want to miss. She basically takes on the village people in an airport bathroom – there was a pilot in the village people, wasn’t there?

Today is old school porn legend Sharon Mitchell‘s birthday and we here at HM4Her are sending her all of our pervy luv!   Known as one of the first porn stars with an androgenous look, Mitchell has not only starred in more than 200 movies throughout the ’70s and ’80s, she has done amazing work within the health community, creating the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM) to help adult performers stay healthy.  Pretty neat, huh?

Happy Birthday Sharon, thanks for everything!

-The Ladies of HM4Her!

The big thing in sex news recently is this article on MSNBC about female executives in the adult industry.  The Porn Librarian talked about it already, but I wanted to add my two cents and talk a little bit more about the awesome ladies that make adult great.

It’s always kind of funny to me when mainstream media tries to talk about the adult industry, especially women within the industry.  It’s like they are totally blown away by the idea that a woman can be in the porno biz without taking off her top and they don’t really buy it, but report on it anyway.  I’m pretty used to mainstream media sensationalizing “the industry” and sex in general, but I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised by how thorough and informative the article actually is.  Good work MSNBC.  Not only did they talk to women that are currently bigwigs in the industry, but ladies that helped make porno female friendly in the past.  

I was actually really blown away by the comment made by UC-Santa Barbara’s Constance Penley about people giving excessive attention to the negative stuff that happens in porn, yet totally ignoring that it happens in every industry. 

Name an industry that’s different, she said. Because porn involves sex it is subject to what Penley calls “exceptionalism.” It is not judged in the bigger cultural context. But it should be. “You have to ask: Does it have more drug abuse or more suicides, more incidents of girls being sexually abused as children, more cosmetic surgery than Hollywood, TV, the recording industry?” she said. The answer, she pointed out, is probably not. So why pick on sex movies?

Penley is absolutely right.  The adult industry – and anything having to do with sexuality at all really - has been target to a kind of scrutiny that goes above and beyond the levels that most other entertainment industries face.  When it comes to women in the industry, all the arguments seem to lead back to the welfare of the performers and their motives.  I’m all about making sure that all the performers are treated fairly and get what they need, but I think automatically assuming that their motives must be linked to sexual abuse and exploitation is unfair and perpetuates the idea that women can only explore and express their sexuality if it is a symptom of psychological damage.  Fucked up, I say.

And it’s not like I’m coming from a totally biased place because I work in the industry either.  I was a women’s studies major.  I’ve read my fair share of Dworkin and have gone through enough abuse culture lectures and feminist theory roundtables to know the ins and out of the issues that feminists (mostly second wave) have with porn.  I just don’t agree.  I believe that looking at female sexuality on a broader scale allows women to have the agency to make decisions about their bodies and sexual practices without automatically boxing them into the roles of victims.  And just like the conversation from the previous paragraph – yes some women may be in an exploited situation, but that is not exclusive to the adult industry or to sexual women in general. 

Anyway, like I said above, I thought the article featured some of the raddest ladies in the biz and I wanted to give a few of them a little extra touting. Check them out below!

Nina Hartley – One of the biggest names in porn made for both men and women, Hartley has been in the business forever and stars and directs movies, as well as has an awesome series of instructional guides.  We pretty much love anything Nina has to offer!

Sharon Mitchell - The veteran performer not only starred in and directed a bunch of super hot movies, after being attacked by a fan, Mitchell helped found the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM), an organization that helps adult performers get tested for STIs and stay healthy. 

Candida Royalle – The fabulous Miss Royalle is pretty much the founder of erotic, couples-style porn created by women especially for women.  Candida’s plot-driven, sensuality focused movies opened up the world of adult to welcome women at a time when sexual repression was rampant - the 1980s.

Kelly Holland – The Penthouse and Playgirl director not only has a heap of hot titles under her belt, she won a Feminist Porn Award last year with a submission from her very own production company, Chick Media.

Shoosh of Triangle Films – Co-owners Shoosh and Kathryn Annelle of Triangle offer up awesome erotic lesbian movies with some of the hottest stars to hit the porno screen.

And let’s not forget about all the amazing directors we featured as our Top Five Female Porn Directors! 

When it really comes down to it, this provocative article is really just reiterating what HotMoviesForHer has been saying for years: Women in porn are awesome – be they on the bed, behind the camera or signing the checks.

So I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this title yet. Suburban Dykes is one of the first pornos I ever watched on purpose. Sure, I’d giggled over skin-e-max movies and had seen bits and pieces of horrifying things over the years, but this one was planned out in my junior year of college. It is, despite the totally dated hair and clothes, still one of the best lesbian movies I’ve ever seen and let me tell you why.

First, it stars Nina Hartley. Since I manage to bring up my love for her about once a week, I will say no more.

Secondly, Dr. Sharon Mitchell plays a bad-ass butch chick who rocks a purple strap-on cock with a gorgeous lean body. Mitchell is a porn goddess and the Director of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation. I have a think for chicks with brains, hence my fascination with Hartley, Mitchell, and my nerdy girlfriend.

Next up is the movie’s focus on safe sex. Not only do they practice it, but Mitchell takes the time to talk briefly about it before fucking Hartley.

Finally, the sex is hot. The women have incredible chemistry, and while they’re sometimes silly (there’s a pillow fight) – when it comes to the dirty parts, these women are 100 percent dedicated to pleasure. The final threesome is fantastic and each woman’s desire is apparent. When Pepper begs to fuck Mitchell, it’s obvious just how bad she wants it and what follows is magic.

In a perfect world, these three women would get together and film an updated version of this movie to prove that women of all ages are sexy as hell. I have no doubt that it would be absolutely amazing, even without Pepper decked out in a pirate shirt!

Blackmail, money and corporate greed – not the usual ingredients of a hot porno flick, but they work surprisingly well alongside the fucking in this vintage feature. Heavy on the classic adult stars, including vixen Veronica Hart, a young Ron Jeremy and Sharon Mitchell, who later went on to co-found the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM), this 1981 release turns the tables on the male dominated work places of the time. Kind of like a porno “9 to 5.” And you know Dolly Parton would totally agree. 2008 AVN Award Nominee for Best Classic DVD.

I decided to take a step back in time and check out one of Candida Royalle’s older films, and it was worth the trip in the time machine. While the outfits may be a bit outdated (and holy giant cell phone, Batman!), there is a distinct lack of old school “porn star hair.” There is an over abundance of acting, dialogue and plot; Not a pretense of a plot, but an actual plot with character development and suspense. There is a reason that this one is in the Feature category. This isn’t to say that the sex got lost in the plot. It didn’t. With well-known, hot to trot stars like Sharon Mitchell, Herschel Savage, and Chloe featured, this flick couldn’t contain bad sex even if they try their hardest. This one is like a day dream come to life on the screen, with a mystery man in the mansion on the hill, a beautiful heroine looking for direction in her life, and enough steamy sex to keep you going for a while. Add the fact that Femme Productions is known for producing feminist, ethical porn, and you’ve got a winner in my book. Plot? Check. Hot sex? Check. Feeling good about watching sex? Check. This film has it all!
