Celebrate Female Porn Directors (Again!)

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:30:00 EDT

On Monday, we pointed you toward's XCritic's top ten list of female directors in porn. Little did we know, HotMoviesForHer also decided to celebrate female directors a mere day later, with a slightly different group of lady porn auteurs hailed as their top five. Did someone forget to tell us about Celebrate Female Porn Directors Week? We would have baked them all a cake, if only we'd known! (hotmoviesforher.com)

Top Ten Female Porn Directors (According To XCritic)

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:01:26 EDT

Pornography has traditionally been seen as a man's game but—as we've noted many times before—as more and more women start working behind the scenes, that notion is quickly becoming outdated. Women are making porn (and making porn better), and we're certainly grateful to see that glass ceiling chipping away (if not outright crumbling). And we're not the only ones who feel that way: the team at XCritic is celebrating ladies making porn with a list of their ten favorite female porn directors. After the jump, see who made the list—and some samples of their work, too.

10. Suze Randall: "Too Naughty To Say No"

9. Candida Royalle: "Under The Covers"

8. Mason

7. Jamye Waxman
"Exploring The 'O'"

6. Diana Devoe

5. Kimberly Kane: "Morphine"

4. Stormy Daniels
"Operation Desert Stormy" (gamelink.com)

3. Belladonna
"My Ass Is Haunted"

2. Celeste
"Stoya Video Nasty"

1. Tristan Taormino
"Chemistry 4: The Orgy Edition"

Honorable Mentions (some of whom we think should have been on the list): Joanna Angel, Ashley Blue, Dana Dearmond, Aunt Gertrude

On Cumshots, Cunnilingus, And Man Ass (Much To Your Chagrin)

Jonnobot — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:35:56 EDT

We're constantly getting ~~complaints~~ constructive criticism around here for neglecting to post erotic material aimed specifically at heterosexual women—this despite the fact that there are at least two of them on our masthead who are responsible for much of our content, and we like to think that a lot of what we post is of interest to anyone who appreciates teh sexy anyway. But why quibble? Instead, let's just move ahead and share with you this gorgeous if curiously titled Tumblr which features dozens of photos of straight couples going at it by some of the world's most celebrated erotic photographers—and which unlike many similar picdump blogs doesn't skimp when it comes to showing off teh cock or teh manbutt (not to mention teh pussy eating and teh oral cumshots). We hope this goes some way towards making some of our more vocal critics happy today. It's sure bringing a smile to our face.

Lesbians Demand Better Porn ... And We Provide It! (Sorta)

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:35:47 EDT

A recent website poll—as scientific a study as one can get—reveals that lesbians are not thrilled with the state of girl-on-girl action in their porn. Believe it or not, porn companies tend to cater to straight dudes, so even though 62% their output contains scenes of girls going wild on other girls, it's not exactly what turns real lesbians on. They want a little bit of foreplay, extended oral sex, and someone who actually knows where the clit is. (Good luck with that!) All too often you have to deal with the porn you have, not the porn you want—but with a little extra effort sometimes you can find what you're looking for. So in the interest of helping our frustrated lesbian friends—and encouraging pornographers everywhere to cater to more tastes—we've tried put together a roundupof some the best smut of the girls and for the girls that we know of. Hey, it was the least the straight part of this operation could do.

It's Knot(s) For Everyone: "Nina Hartley's Guide To Bondage Sex"

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:15:22 EDT

So you've watched your fair share of bondage porn, and you're starting to think that maybe you'd like to explore some bondage in the bedroom. But where to start? Though the pros may make it look easy, serious bondage isn't for beginners—and even with some practice, it's still advanced sex play. The last thing you want to do is get some rope and see how it goes. If you're going to go bound, you'll need some good guidelines and some easy to follow instructions.

Thankfully, Nina Hartley is here to offer her assistance, in the form of "Nina Hartley's Guide To Bondage Sex." With the help of bondage model and expert Claire Adams, Nina walks bondage beginners through all the basics of getting down and dirty while bound ... and throws in some super hot sex scenes by way of illustration.

Depending on your expectations, your enjoyment of the film may vary. For one thing, this is definitely some education with a side of porn and not the other way around: the film goes a full half hour without anyone getting naked, and the sex scenes themselves are heavily laced with instruction and tips.

Additionally, the film focuses on women tying up women and men tying up women, without a single bound man in sight. Yes, there are elements of bondage that are universal, and the film offers helpful insights for anyone looking to get bound and gagged. But if you're hoping for, say, some serious cock and ball torture action, this isn't the flick for you.

Nerds that we are, we still enjoyed learning the ins and outs of bondage sex—like what positions are best, how to tie a good knot, and all the fun little bondage gadgets. But we'd still recommend viewing this video when you're in a learning mood, not a fapping mood. You're bound to get something good out of watching the video, but it just might not be until after you've watched it, when you're putting Nina's lessons to good use.

Match The Peen: Can You Identify The Hottest Men In Porn?

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:00:04 EDT

When we assembled our round up of hot straight men in porn, we ran into a bit of a problem. See, we needed photos that would showcase their bodies and faces without the distractions of, you know, boobs and stuff—and photos like that are a bit rare in straight porn, where male talent isn't exactly chosen for their pretty blue eyes.

So we've decided to test your knowledge of male porn performers. Below the jump, we've assembled some action shots of the seven men who made the cut for our roundup; your task is to match the man to the cock shot by placing your guesses in the comments section. Get them all right and you could win your very own copy of the Cosmo Kama Sutra. Or bragging rights. Whichever makes you happier.

Cinema Erotique: Movies For A Hotter Tomorrow

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:40:27 EDT

With all the free porn out there, it can sometimes seem like there's no reason to ever pay for it: why should you shell out your hard earned cash for wank material when YouPorn is just a few clicks away? Well for one thing, what free porn possesses in quantity and availability it often lacks in quality. If you find yourself yearning for some porno with production values beyond that of a guy and his webcam, we invite you to check out Cinema Erotique, a site devoted to producing quality, original porn movies with all the fancy trappings of a real movie (Scripts! Lighting! Plots!) and an exclusive cast of gorgeous models (who we've thoughtfully included a photo gallery of) to boot.

Though Cinema Erotique has a smaller library than some other sites we've seen —at present, there's only about 30 movies and 31 shorter striptease clips—the movies themselves are a bit more involved than, say, the latest Bang Bus update. Running about 20 minutes each, the movies run the gamut from girl with toy to girl/girl to girl/boy, with a bit of spanking and bondage thrown in for extra kicks. Don't have 20 minutes to devote to porn? Those striptease clips like the one above can help make the most of your busy, busy schedule.

And if you're in the mood for photos, Cinema Erotique has those too. And for all the nerds out there, there's the "Editing Room," with behind the scenes shots, movie scripts, and soundtracks. (We're not quite sure why you'd want to read the script for "Dial S For Sex" — but hey, to each their own.)

The one downside (and it's a huge downside for many of us here at Fleshbot) is that Cinema Erotique's offerings are only available in Windows Media format. We're not sure where that's acceptable—France, maybe?—but it made us sour a bit on what it otherwise a site well worth checking out ... though not enough to totally dampen our enjoyment of soon-to-be classics like "Internet Bride."

Stories For The Dirty Girl (Or Boy) In All Of Us

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:00:24 EDT

At 27 stories long, "Dirty Girls" is a book for "literary size queens" (at least according to editor Rachel Kramer Bussel). Even though we usually tend to prefer our books short and sweet—who doesn't like a good quickie?—we can't deny that this book is well worth a read: from girls who like to take to stories of girls who like to be taken; girls who like girls, girls who like boys, and girls who like both; waitresses, dommes, college professors, college students ... well, you can probably figure out that there's something for everyone in this collection. (And don't be discouraged by that "erotica for women" tagline: it may be made for a woman, but we promise it's hot enough for a man as well. (dirtygirlsbook.wordpress.com + lustylady.blogspot.com)

Feminist Porn Awards Celebrate Porn We Really Like

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 11:38:43 EDT

Remember those Feminist Porn Awards we told you about? They happened! Feisty, feminist films were screened, trophies were handed out ... and even better, some of of favorite films and performers ended up winning. Oh, and did you know that the Feminist Porn Award trophies are in the shape of butt plugs? Sure, there might be more prestigious awards out there, but we doubt there are any that are more functional.

See which Fleshbot faves were honored with their own anal pleasure devices after the jump.

Kiss My Bliss: Australia Does Altporn

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:50:00 EDT

We may have been a little premature in our declaration of the death of online altporn: it seems that it hasn't died at all, it's simply up and moved to Australia. Case in point: Kiss My Bliss, a recently launched porn site that's arty, run by women, and looks like it wouldn't have been out of place in the heyday of sites like Fatal Beauty, No Faux, and all the rest. We got a chance to preview the member's only content; our thoughts (and a preview gallery!) after the jump.

. . .

Like many of its predecessors, Kiss My Bliss features photos of both male and female models—and in some cases, both at the same time. The photos have an innocent, girl- or boy-next-door feel; the vibe is not unlike that of fellow Aussie site, Abby Winters. Fake tits and Lucite stilettos are nowhere to be seen. And yes, there is pubic hair.

The site is largely, if not exclusively, softcore, with an artistic bent. Though there are shots of couples, we didn't see any hardcore action (or even anything close: hard cocks are few and far between on this site).

There are still some kinks that need to be worked out; most frustrating: the site's navigation is unintuitive and cumbersome. But since Kiss My Bliss is new to the market, we'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It's exciting to see some a new entry into the catalogue of progressive online porn—here's hoping that the Australian version of altporn fares better than its American cousin.

"Exploring The 'O'" With Jamye Waxman

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:04:49 EDT

In the third and final installment of her "Personal Touch" series, sexplorer and Fleshbot crush object Jamye Waxman moves into exciting territory, taking on the oft discussed but rarely mastered female orgasm. With tutorials on the many types of female orgasm, female ejaculation, and anal sex for women, Jamye covers all the bases ... and, as usual, does so with smarts, style, and just enough cheeky humor to keep things interesting.

We've been fans of the "Personal Touch" series since Jamye showed us how to toy with pleasure, and we're pleased to say that "Exploring the 'O'" is easily the best installment so far: the sex is hotter, the performers have great chemistry, and it has an amazing female ejaculation scene. But we'll get to that in a second ...

. . .

There's a lot to love about "Exploring the 'O'." From the first scene, where real life couple Daisy Layne and Dick Chibbles demonstrate the finer points of g spot orgasm, to the last, where Alex Gonz and Laurie Vargas show that female pleasure doesn't end with the pussy, the scenes manage to be sexy and fun and still demonstrate quite a few tricks that made us want to take notes. (Stimulating the clitoris with a tongue while a vibrator stimulates the g-spot? Fascinating!)

Nevertheless, it's the section on female ejaculation that really steals the show. Jamye kicks things off with a brief tutorial on Kegel exercises, helpfully aided by a live action demo from Lyla Lei. We've read countless descriptions of Kegels, so we feel we can say this with authority: they make a lot more sense when you're watching someone do them. Especially someone as cute as Lyla Lei.

Once Lyla's demonstrated the ins and outs of Kegels, Cytherea joins her for a demonstration of female ejaculation. Sitting side by side, they masturbate to orgasm (thankfully sparing us the lesbo-for-pay awkwardness seen in so many girl-on-girl scenes) — and when they come, they come hard. And repeatedly. And hard. We practically had to wipe down our monitor (and our chair) after watching so much lady jizz.

"Exploring the 'O'" is a fine addition to anyone's collection of adult entertainment, and a must watch for anyone interesting in having, causing, or witnessing female orgasms. We're happy to see such a great piece come out of the "Personal Touch" line — and we can't wait to see what other films Jamye has in store for us. (Especially if they involve squirting. Isn't it funny how it just made us more thirsty to see more?)

Venus Hottentot Comes Out Of The Porn Closet

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:46:18 EST

We've already written about the sheer awesomeness of the award winning porn flick "Afrodite Superstar," so we weren't that surprised to learn that it was directed by an accomplished art filmmaker with a bunch of fancy degrees. So that's why it had an actual script!). In an exclusive interview for Babelandwebsite, "Afrodite Superstar" director "Venus Hottentot" has come out as BET host, chick lit author, hip hop feminist, and art filmmaker Abiola Adams: in the interview, Adams discusses why she chose to direct an erotic film, how she chose her pseudonym, and why sexy films are so important. Hey, who says smart, talented women can't make porn films? (Certainly not us. But we're sure there are still a few folks out there who may find it surprising.)

By the end of 2007 we felt like we had contracted some kind of bloggy, end-of-year-list STD, and it turns out we weren't the only ones. Which is why Fleshbot pal and pro-porn-for-women Ms. Naughty is so late to compiling her terrific Porn For Women Retrospective 2007.

Kimberly Kane Shoots, Scores

Fleshbot — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 12:38:15 EDT

If we were still in grad school, we might look at this video and say something about how Kimberly Kane is subverting traditional notions of the male gaze and establishing a gynocentric hegemony of vision by recontextualizing her role in the relationship between artist and subject. But thankfully we're not in grad school anymore, so we can just watch it and appreciate Kimberly's talents as a photographer—and how great she looks no matter which side of the camera she's on. (We could also say something about how the whole CFNM fetish thing reifies assumed notions of gender, authority, and control ... but why bother getting into all that?)

How To Fake An Orgasm In Porn (Or Not)

Fleshbot — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:43:18 EDT

OK, so maybe we've been a little hard on Tyra Banks this week following the barely restrained sensationalist hysteria of her "Porn For Women" show on Monday: she might be an overbearing control freak with a tendency to overmug for the camera when attempting to express basic emotions like shock or amusement, but at least she gave our own Violet Blue a chance to explain what to look for when you're watching a porn movie to tell whether a female performer is faking her orgasms or not. Maybe America's daytime viewing audience learned something else this week besides the fact that Tyra really doesn't like porn after all!

Women Fighting Over Porn (And Not In The Good Way)

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:42:41 EDT

America has waited with tremendous patience for Tyra Banks to broadcast her highly anticipated and ~~hypocritically self-serving~~ slightly controversial look at the world of porn, and yesterday we were finally rewarded with that Very Special Episode. As you recall, our own Violet Blue played a part of this media circus and while it was fun to see one of our own on the teevee (even if her plug of a certain website was mysteriously edited out), we particularly enjoyed this segment in which housewives watch porn and then argue over its merits like the Red vs. Blue State stereotypes they were instructed to be. Unfortunately, we're afraid that we can't take sides in this fight without the answer to one key question: What movie were they watching? After all, if someone out there is actually defending "Kim Kardashian: Superstar," we just might have to switch our allegiance. (Also, where do we get our own "Love Butler"?)
