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!!
Welcome back for recap two of my whirlwind trip to Toronto for the 7th Annual Feminist Porn Awards! When we left off on Recap 1, we were just getting into Friday, the day of the awards gala. I won’t bore you with the details of my day, which just involved hanging around and getting ready for the evening really.
A few weeks back, the folks who put the awards on asked me if I was interested in getting my hair and makeup done for the show, since I was presenting an award. If you know me at all, you know how excited I was by the prospect of actually looking put together. So, I started off the evening doing that before getting down and dirty into the VIP pre-awards party and the ceremony.
Not bad, if I do say so myself.
Anyway, the pre-awards party was a time where stars and porno folks in town for the FPAs could meet with the press and photographers to chat about their work. Being the high-tech photog that I am, I took my fancy camera (cough, cough, iPhone) and got a few snaps of some of the awesome people getting ready for the awards.
Also up for awards was Lily Cade, who was more than happy to give me both front and back access for photos.
Why, hello nice ass in a well tailored suit. It’s so nice to meet you. I did get a photo of Lily’s beautiful date, performer Ela Darling, but my phone took such washed out pictures with the flash on, that I can’t put those pictures up here in good conscience.
I was happy really that this photo I got of director Erika Lust came out alright, because she is seriously adorable, along with being the sweetest.
I also really love this next picture because it illustrates just how vibrant and fun Erika Lust is, and I’m sure you know how hard it is to capture that in picture form. Iphone did me well here.
Alright, a few more before we get into the actual awards. This is going to be a long post, so I hope you packed some lube, and maybe a snack.
Next up James Darling and Tina Horn posed for my camera and James let me go on about how much I enjoy and appreciate his work.
I also got a chance to grab a picture of Arabelle Raphael and Courtney Trouble before we started toward our seats for the awards to begin.
As the theater began filling up, the main screen above the stage projected the #FPA2012 Twitter feed going on. It was really fun to watch all of the folks that were there, and the folks watching the livefeed of the awards, all talking about what was going on there.
I tweeted a couple of times just to see my tweets up on the screen. What, you know everyone else was doing the exact same thing.
And finally, I grabbed Alison Lee (who used to put the awards together) and Dylan Ryan for a quick picture, just as the awards we about to get underway.
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!
Greeting from palm Springs! We are soaking up the sun and chatting it up with some of the most awesome ladies we’ve ever met. Are you jealous? You should be. I am totally loving this life, but I wanted to go ahead and remind you that we still have love for the boys too. I am doing so by giving you part two to Monday’s review of Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Pegging review!
I already discussed the awesomeness that is Tristan Taormino and how great she is at being a sex educator. She gives us a thorough lesson on pegging – the how’s, the why’s and the what for’s. She gets us started and sees us through to the end. If you missed it, you can take a look at Monday’s Review here.
We start out with a Wolf Hudson and Dylan Ryan match-up. Yes! I love these two together. They are great at communicating their wants, needs, likes and dislikes. They have no problem telling the other where to go and how to do it in the most welcoming and honest of ways. I love it! Communicating is key to fantastic sex. You can definitely learn from these folks! We really get to watch them go step by step with a little non-butt-play for warm up, the use of a nitrile gloves for safety and the application of lube. Watching Dylan use her fingers stimulate the interior of Wolf’s ass is so very hot! They get to the pegging and you can totally tell the Dylan has all the right moves. What I love the most about this scene is that she does a great job of demonstrating that not only is it possible to provide him with pleasure during strap -on play, but that it is also possible for the female bodied half to pleasure themselves while giving it to him. Again, pay attention! When giving anal pleasure to a man during strap-on play, you can totally get some clitoral stimulation out of it. The base of the dildo, inside of the harness or possibly a little vibrator can provide you with friction in all the right ways. This is intensified when you are deep in his ass and able to get into a grinding motion during skin to skin contact, which Dylan definitely does. She gets into it so much so that she brings herself to orgasm and oh my fucking god it is hot.
Our next pair is Christian XXX and Jade Fire. This is another great match up. Christian’s big buff body looks great up against Jade’s petite curvy frame. His huge hands make her look so darn tiny when he touches her! Anywho, I love the pegging action here. Miss Fire really knows how to pump Christian’s rear end just right. You can tell that he loves having his backdoor played with whether it is with fingers or a dildo. Besides the amazing sex, I love watching Jade Fire put on her nitrile gloves. She has really long fingernails and covers the tips of them with cotton before putting the gloves on. This way she can keep her nails any which way she chooses while still giving Christian anal pleasure with her fingers. I love that ladies get to see this demonstrated! I also love that these two display how it is possible and quite simple for a short female and tall male to get their pegging on. In addition, these two are just the epitome dripping hot sexiness.
Finally, we have Jiz Lee and Mickey Mod bringing up the rear… heh. These two are super sensual and know how to play the staring game like no other. There is equal parts eye fucking to strap-on fucking. They have a great connection and I love seeing how focused they are on each other. Once the strap-on play is done they make their way to the shower for some dirty time under the water. Jiz receives Mickey’s cock this time! For me, the standout moment was watching these two jerk themselves off into the sunset. I love shared masturbation.
In case I haven’t made it clear, this porno is educational and perfect for even just some spank bank material. You get all of the info and all of the yuminess in one movie. Also, be sure to watch the extras at the end. You can get some really useful info, like how to give yourself an enema.
J.D. and I totally squealed with joy when we realized that Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Pegging was live on HotMoviesForHer. We love Tristan Taormino for all of her sex ed wisdom and her knack for directing insanely hot sex scenes. She is the ultimate being when it comes to pervy wisdom. Tristan has all of the facts, but she also knows a thing or two (thousand) about straight up hotness. She is a great teacher in that she knows how to explain things clearly while making it interesting and fun. You can see why we were totally jazzed about getting this educational porno in.
Before I get into the review, I’ll state that pegging is the act of a woman performing anal strap-on sex on a man. The term was coined by sex advice columnist Dan Savage. He polled his readers when looking for a term to describe the act of female to male strap-on play and pegging won! I also want to give you a heads up that this review is focused on the lecture portion of the porno. I’ll be reviewing the sex scene portion of the movie this Friday.
We are big fans of pegging here at HotMoviesForHer, but I don’t think we spend enough time talking about it. While there are indeed tons of pegging movies available, many of them show men getting pegged in a humiliating light. That is fine if that is how you roll, but it isn’t the-end, all be-all of pegging. It’s pretty awesome that Tristan has given us this totally sex positive porno that shows us the many sides of pegging. This isn’t the first porno to show pegging in a positive light by any means, it is just in the minority.
The Expert’s Guide To Pegging opens up with about an hour long lecture segment. Even the most pegging-informed person stands a good chance of learning something here. Tristan doesn’t just delve right in the act of strap-on play, she talks about the many aspects of anal play. Lube, warm up, prostate stimulation, toys and so on – all of the important things that lead up to and surround pegging. She talks about communication from both partners and makes it a point to state that anal play should never hurt, not even for the first few times or even minutes. She also delves into the misconceptions and stigmas that surround female to male strap on play – namely that it makes you gay. This just isn’t the case! She discusses why this is true as does as does Jiz Lee, Wolf Huson and a couple of the other performers. They all have great information and opinions to add to this segment.
Tristan does a great job of getting all scientific on our asses (literally) and explains the male anatomy. We get to see diagrams that help us get a good understanding of what gets stimulated during anal strap-on play and why. I love that she mentions that men respond differently to prostate stimulation in regard to orgasm as well how they prefer to enjoy it – with or without genital contact, etc. I think this type of information is especially useful for women because we are simply not wired the same way. Also, it is important to know things, like how a man can totally be aroused and turned by prostate stim without having a hard on. Women (and men) need to know these things!
Rightfully so, choosing the right equipment gets a good bit of attention. She explains the differences in harness types, which is far more important than one without any experience might think. Different styles work for different body types and preferences. The right harness can make a huge difference. When it comes to the dildo, it is best to let him choose the size. It is his butt, after all! She explains how to wear/put on the various styles as well. This makes me so happy because knowing how to strap up helps you feel confident and comfortable right from the start.
Tristan chose performers with a variety of bodies for her pegging how-to movie. As with all things in the world of sex, pegging can be enjoyed by everyone and isn’t reserved for any one type of person. I think beyond choosing the right dildos and which kind of lube to use, this is the most important message of all. Well, perhaps it is a close second to remembering to communicate. It is a MUST on both ends.
If you watch this movie and are still left with questions, I will totally be shocked. Tristan Taormino really does hit all points in depth. There is even an extra tidbit on how to give yourself an enema!
This concludes the review for the lecture portion of this porn. Check back on Friday for the review of the super hot and sexy sex scenes!
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the midweek stretch! It’s already been a busy one around here at HM4Her as us porno bloggers get ready to hit California for The Dinah 2012. This time next week we will be flying into Palm Springs, ready to hand out free porno! But for now, we smut peddlers are ready for a celebration – humpday style! So sit back, enjoy the warm weather, and let’s get our Link Love on!
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!!
Happy Humpday. Welcome back to the midweek stretch. It’s the first Wednesday in March, which hopefully means that warmer weather is on its way. Fingers crossed, but until then, we’ve got the Humpday celebration to keep us feeling nice and toasty. Let’s Link Love it up!
A while back, we dedicated a Top Five Tuesday to everything Tristan Taormino, which, if you read, you know is amazing. Seriously, everything the woman touches turns to hot, sweaty, dirty gold. This morning while I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about what to feature for the Top Five today, and I realized that though I was coming up with a list of ideas, I kept going back to wanting to write specifically about Taormino’s educational flicks. These amazing instructionals combine Tristan’s writings and sex education background with her fantastic film works, making them some of the top edu-porns on the market! Take a look at (and maybe even some note from) Tristan Taormino’s Top Five Instructional Porns!
Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Female Orgasms – To be honest, there aren’t many people I would trust to talk about female orgasms in an educational way, but Tristan Taormino definitely tops my list. Touching on the various types of orgasms, the female arousal cycle, and tricks and techniques to bring added BANG to the Big “O” – this video is a must see for anyone that has a stake in getting a female body off.
Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Oral Sex Part One Cunnilingus– The oldest video of the bunch I chose, this collection of cunnilingus tips starts off with all the basics, including female anatomy. Host Justine Joli takes us through a hands-on pussy licking demo with Ariel X before turning it over to folks performing the delicious deeds.
Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Advanced Anal Sex – As Tristan Taormino is basically the guru of anal sex, any booty advice that comes from her mouth is pretty much the gospel of the act. If you need a refresher on anal 101, check out Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Sex, and then get your behind back over here to get the advanced lesson on how to make your pucker sing.
Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To Anal Pleasure For Men – While I would say that men’s sexuality is pretty prevalent in porn, there isn’t a ton of movies specifically directed to teaching folks how to get busy with a man booty. Thankfully Taormino saw this information gap and brought us a flick perfectly designed to fit that peg… if you know what I mean.
Alright folks, class in in session. I hope you all brought pencils…
Surprise! In honor of the upcoming 2012 AVN Awards, this week’s Top Five Tuesday is packed full of the noms that I love. Yes, there are more of you that I want to take home and keep for myself, but I am limited to 5 so work with me. I ‘m not going to yammer on here. Just check out my picks and feel free to let me know who you love!
Belladonna: Sexual Explorer – As soon as I layed my eyes on this title, it was my pick for Best All-Girl Group Scene. I reviewed it not too long ago and it quickly made it’s way to my must-watch-again (and again and again) list. There is definitely chemistry between these ladies and you can tell they are enjoying themselves and each other the way they would if the cameras weren’t rolling. Besides, it’s a Belladonna porno. You can’t go wrong.
Bobbi Starr – I am LOVING all of the movies coming from Bobbi Starr Productions. I have always admired this lady for her porno performing skills, but there is no doubt the she deserves to be in the running for Best Director – Non Feature. She is pervy and smart. It is a match made in my porno heaven. All of her work is stellar, but she happens to be nominated for Shut Up and Fuck. Watch it!
Andy San Dimas – Look, she’s just hot. Plus she is down for getting it on all the time. I never second guess whether or not she likes her job. She is a professional, but definitely puts her whole self into her pornos. I have mad respect for her and I totally have a crush on her. Andy is nominated for Best Actress.
Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind – If there is one movie on the list that I not only love watching, but also hold near and dear to my heart, it would be this one. J.D. and I reviewed this porno scene by scene. I feel like I spent quality time with it, got to know it, had it over for coffee, etc. Rough Sex 3 is over the top fantastic. Watching rough sex scenes spun from the mind of the beautiful and talented Adrianna Nicole is empowering and a total turn on. Nominated for Best Group Scene, this is one movie that will always and forever remain on my “best of” list. P.S.Tristan Taorminois the bomb. Just sayin’.
