The Smart Girl's Guide To Porn

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:30:01 EST

Welcome back to the Fleshbot Book Club. Today we're featuring Fleshbot alumna Violet Blue's The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn. The following selection comes from Chapter 5: "Find the Right Porn for You."

Finding the DVD, streaming video, or porn site that turns you on and gets you off is no easy proposition, even if you already know what you want to see. Porn is a vast genre with many subgenres, full of its own language and customs, confusing labels, and misleading titles-plus a whole lot of bad grammar. What's worse, many retailers (online and off) treat their stock with carelessness or even distaste, cramming porn together with no discernable sense of order. Alphabetical order is not invited to the party, Dewy decimal has left the building. And each website seems to have its own organizational logic. It would make a librarian homicidal. Even a naughty one.

In a lot of ways, finding the right porn is much like seeking out a Hollywood movie-you're really on your own to find it. But in a genre of film that has no road map, you'll need to know not only what you want and where to find it, but also the different types of porn available.

Start by creating a picture of what you hope to find in your porn, just as you'd order a meal in a restaurant. What are you hungry for? Small breasts, big butts, women in charge, realistic plots, blow jobs, two gals and a guy, male anal penetration, rough sex? This may not be your menu, but you get the idea. The important thing is that you make a list of all the qualities you hope to find in an adult video. Then make a second list of things you don't want to see. Do you get turned off by fake breasts, hairy men, rimming, toe-sucking, facial ejaculation, two women together, or watching group sex? These are just examples to get you brainstorming about what you think will send you over the edge-and what you think you'll want to skip through. As you watch porn, you'll probably find more to add to (or subtract from) either list, because sometimes we find things that turn us on or off that we didn't even know about.

Excerpted from The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, written by Violet Blue and published by Cleis Press.

The book is on sale at Amazon, both as a paperback and e-book.

The Real Sex Bombs Of The "Mad Men" Era

Ottimo Massimo — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:30:01 EDT

Our former comrade/forever hero Violet Blue recently reminded us that one of the reasons "Mad Men" is so fun to watch is because it chronicles the emergence of American sexual independence. Who doesn't love that?

In the process, she also posted some classic (read: before pubic hair showed up) Playboy centerfolds and reminded us of all the good retrofap floating around on the internet. So instead of pawing through your father's garage in search of his nudie stash, why don't you check out what Violet has to offer?

Of course, we also have a few classic nudes that'd give your old man's collection a run for his money. (Did you know that the first Playboy cost 50 cents?) And if you don't feel like roaming for your next meal, we've got some vintage cheesecake right here.

"OverStuffed 9": What To Do With Your Bat In The Postseason

Gram Ponante — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:30:01 EDT

To call it "charming" would be a stretch (literally) , but the exertions of the women in "Overstuffed 9," as we watch them fit bigger and bigger objects into themselves, is at the very least plucky.

Studio: JM
Director: Jim Powers
Cast: Allison Pierce, Kendra Secrets, Anjanette Astoria, Noname Jane, Anita Blue

Review by: Gram Ponante

There is a filter over the opening credits of Jim Powers' Big Things In Small Places movie "Overstuffed 9" that makes it look as if the camera lens is spotted with blood and something brown that we'll call dirt.

But then, you never can tell with Powers movies, because "Overstuffed 9" turns out to be as sunny as it is horrifying, because five bright and cheerful women seem to have a great time stuffing things inside themselves that might divert a mighty Western river.

First is Allison Pierce, who is seen tottering down a Porn Valley road in need of a ride. Luckily Powers and minion Johnny Thrust are right there to help. Pierce stumbles into the back seat, where she finds a pile of oversized sex toys. Eventually, of course, she asks (and is not commanded) to use them, which she does.

The sight of Pierce strenuously vaginally inhaling a window-mounted dildo while San Fernando Valley traffic goes by is glorious.

Then we meet the delicious petit-MILF Noname Jane, basking by the pool. At one point she uses her foot to hammer a dildo into herself. She is an American Original.

In a movie like this one, sometimes a consumer feels a little safer when there is a hint of plot. The next scene features Anita Blue devising a way to "stretch (my) ass out for Big Willie when he comes back from Iraq." Cue a baseball bat in the ass.

Anjanette Astoria and Kendra Secrets fill up the rear (literally), but by that time this reviewer was on his way to Sport Chalet.

The Future Of Sex Approaches: Arse Elektronika 2009

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:30:01 EDT

Is it the end of September already? Why, that means that it's almost time for Arse Elektronika—San Francisco's annual festival devoted to sex, tech, futurism, and, of course, robots and the people who love to fuck them.

This year's edition (theme: "Of Intercourse and Intracourse") promises to be just as exciting as the past two installments; with both io9's Annalee Newitz and Fleshbot alumna Violet Blue on the roster of speakers, we're sure attendees will receive quite a bit of food for thought (and, er, fantasy). Full details are available on the Arse Elektronika website. And for those of you who can't make it out to San Francisco this weekend, never fear: we're sure we'll have more than a few highlights from the event covered right here on good ol' Fleshbot.

Kimberly Kane, April Flores, And Courtney Trouble Come Together—And We Get To Watch

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 05 May 2009 12:30:01 EDT

What do you get when you throw Kimberly Kane, April Flores, Courtney Trouble, and Carlos Batts together, and let them do whatever they want? Well... you can probably figure that out for yourself.

Last Friday, this magnificent team converged in San Francisco (at Violet Blue's house!) to make history... or at least hot porn. We don't know what the movie was about, or when we'll be able to see it... but from looking at the behind the scenes photos that Violet was kind enough to post online, well, we can pretty much guarantee that we'll be buying a copy as soon as it's available.

Violet Blue Schools G4 On The Future Of Sex

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:30:01 EST

Ever wondered what your sex life will look like... in the future? We're not just talking about who you'll be bedding and whether your porn will be in 3d—we're talking sci-fi sex here.

When will we be getting it on with supersonic fuckbots? Or having orgasms at the press of a button? Or doing it... in space? Our friend Violet Blue knows—and she was more than happy to go on TV and tell all to the viewers of "Attack of the Show."

Now if we can just figure out how to be a beta tester for that orgasm button...

This Year In Underreported Sex News

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 15:30:01 EST

While we've been busy rounding up some of the year's hottest moments, our friend Violet Blue has been doing more... meaningful work, using the season of listicles to draw attention to some underreported sex news.

Did you know Playgirl ~~folded~~ went online only? Or that sex toys are really, truly legal in Texas now? Or that Google has trouble locating the clitoris? What a wild and crazy year, eh? Let's hope next year's just as exciting (though if Google could learn to find the clitoris in the next 365 days, that'd be stellar.).

Lick Nylons Tastes Like Chicken (But Looks Even Better)

Violet Blue — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:15:05 EDT

Bringing the delicious taste of girl-girl pantyhose action to a monitor near you, Lick Nylons looks like your average garden variety porn paysite template—only one that's been filled with hardcore content that actually looks pretty fucking hot instead of pretty fucking not hot, especially if you like the ladies in their 'hose. Legs, shoes, ass, lingerie and girls doing other girls is this new fetish site's game, and we think it's a winning combination. So what if it's all presented in HTML that's possibly older than the models, or that you have to pony up to get down? The site's free previews are explicit enough to have us enforcing the interns' pantyhose-only dress codes around Fleshbot Central, starting immediately. Casual Fridays be damned.

Just when our heads are about to explode...

Violet Blue — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:45:41 EDT

Just when our heads are about to explode in the not-sexy way with Palin porn overload, there's something comforting and even sane about Susie Bright's take on why looking closely at Palin and sex actually matters. Oh, and we got a good giggle out of Bright's reporting on the current rise in butch lesbian fantasies about the candidate. Why can't we all get along and lick pussy, indeed! (10zenmonkeys.com)

Sarah Javin Fisher Takes A Tasty Self-Portrait

Violet Blue — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:35:59 EDT

Forget about the MySpace angles of today's camgirls-come-lately: the true art of the nude self-portrait isn't lost on photographer Sarah Javin Fisher, who manages to take extremely sexy photos of herself that look like she's not the only one in the room. They're creative, polished, and practically wankable in their hotness. But if her self portraits are the highlights of her online portfolio, the rest of her erotic photography is certainly worth a grope or two as well.

Bookkake: Where Sticky Pages Are Part Of The Fun

Violet Blue — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:25:44 EDT

And speaking of books (if not testicles), the brand new Bookkake is such a good idea that we're paddling ourselves with our copy of "Porn 101" for not thinking of it first. But we're glad someone did: It's an online sex bookshop, and a damn dirty one too. We just hope they remember to wipe down the books before shipping them out. (bookkake.com - thanks Rachel)

Hedony Design Masters The Subtle Art Of Product Photography

Violet Blue — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:20:22 EDT

It's not enough that the stunning fetish fashion collections at Hedony Design are imaginative, unusual, do things with latex we'd never imagined, and look super-sexy. And it's not just that they're nippletastic across the board, with many designs leaving a breast or two exposed as part of the design. No, it's all in the presentation: put it all together on a bevy of gorgeous models, add fantastic photography and we're customers for life. Think they'd trade us some of our schwag from the last porn expo we attended for some samples?

Violet Blue — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:05:58 EDT

Our infatuation with Miss Kittie Klaw began years ago, but just got a fresh boost with her superb (and ginormous) article for the Independent about sexual fetishes. Then again, just ogling Miss Klaw is enough to make us sit up and bark for more. (independent.co.uk)

Fetish Muse: KumiMonster Gets (Even More) Personal

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:10:19 EDT

We've had a serious crush on fetish pinup goddess KumiMonster for years now, and have been known to spontaneously erupt into giddy squeals of lustful glee whenever we stumble across her bald and/or bewigged deliciousness during our online travels. (Seriously—just ask our interns.) There's just something about her that makes us turn into horny human accordions. Fortunately, now we can squeak all we want at Kumi's slick new FetishMuse site, which in addition to its paid membership content also includes plenty of tasty free niblets as well as her blog, where Kumi shares what it's like being a, yes, international Fetish Muse. We're totally going to have to spring for new sets of earplugs for the interns if we expect them to get any work done around here.

SexiestParty Judges The Election Via Erections

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:55:47 EDT

It seems like every time an election rolls around someone ponders the sexiness of Democrats versus Republicans, sometimes with pretty entertaining (or more often, pretty tired) results. Now Red State and Blue State citizens alike can battle out their own version of "Hot or Not?" on the newly launched SexiestParty.com, where anyone who's not already burnt out on faux Palin porn can participate by uploading their own photos or just casting a vote for party hotness. Or notness. Each vote refreshes the page and you won't find out the party affiliation of the babe you're ogling until you cast your vote, which does give a gloss of scientific impartiality to the proceedings. Still, we suppose it will all come down to partisanship instead of actual, objective boinkability in the long run. Maybe each party can add a few hardcore TGP affiliate links to their websites to help shore up the economy in the meantime?

Whore Doors and Dirty Birdies: The Art of Ken Keirns

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:15:04 EDT

Painter, illustrator and sculptor Ken Keirns has a bio that's as good as they get, including such nuggets as "He has always wanted to be an artist, except for that short-lived stunt man period when he was nine." We're glad that he ended up being what he (mostly) wanted to be when he grew up, since we're already big fans of the whimsy, attitude, and general boobfulness of his work. Check out his "Whore Doors" full-size portraits of sex workers painted on (surprise!) actual doors; his "art toys", where vintage Fisher Price doodads are turned into porno playthings; and all those paintings of the muse who pops up again and again throughout his portfolio, whose very nice rack is worth a visit in its own right.

Diesel Knows It's Better To Travel

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:55:35 EDT

We loved that SFW porn video Diesel made for their "Dirty Thirty" ad campaign, and it looks like the naughty fun won't be stopping there: click the thumbnail to enjoy their newest spot advertising their 30th birthday celebrations in Amsterdam. Dutch wives, indeed.

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:50:54 EDT

We may be a few days behind in catching up on worldwide sex-related death news stories, but we'd be remiss if we didn't remind you to be careful where you have sex—that is, unless you want to end up like the South African couple who were killed by a train while doing it on train tracks. Police told the local papers that the couple ignored the driver's shouts and "continued with their business." Remember: sex in the train is a better bet.
