HNT and Mr. Man

Remember what I wrote about a few months ago?  About that Blow Job Dildo that was in product development?

Guess who got her hot little hands on one?  That’s right. Me!  Jollies sent me one…and better yet, all of your thoughts and comments came to fruition - the new prototype IS HARNESS COMPATIBLE! Yay!  So let this be a lesson that you CAN be the change that you wish to see in the world.

F was kind enough to help me test it out…how kind of her.  She let me suck her cock, I let her suck mine (Femmes can have cocks too, damn it!).  I’d used it on her before, sucking her off, but this time, I got a turn as well.  Holy crap – it felt so good…very intense, very amazing.  It was like more traditional oral sex on a female bodied person (cunnilingus like), but while watching her mouth slide up and down on my cock. Hot. Mind fuck. God damn hot mind fuck.  When she sucked on my cock, my clit caught on fire.  Fucking genius.

Clearly, the blow job dildo is great for blow jobs, but now, how about using it to fuck in a harness.  I strapped it into my Syd hardness.  It was a little difficult to get it, what with the thick base, and the balls, but it looked lovely.

I’m even pale enough that it seemed to meld pretty well with my skin, but just know that they’re pretty pale, yet slightly radioactive Caucasian flesh colored.

As F lowered herself on me, she gasped in pain.  The long cock had poked her in the cervix. I’m not going to lie – this is a pretty big cock…width wise, but especially lengthwise.  More over, it’s curved oddly, and just really didn’t feel good, at least according to F.  We tried a few different positions, but neither of us really like fucking with it, so eventually we gave up.

So verdict = excellent for blow jobs, not so great for fucking…

Mr. Man. Coming to a store near you soon :)

Flying High

I have one more public place to add to my bedpost of public places I’ve done sexual things. I can now, in good conscious, add the airport.

A friend of mine from Philly (former roller girl, and my massage therapist post-accident) was flying to Portland for Roller Derby Nationals, and had a stop over in Denver. Conveniently enough, I was flying out of DIA the same day…actually, at the exact same time.  We decided to meet for breakfast.

This girl is hot. She’s tall, fierce, and a hot Femme. She was the one who through a guy into a table when a bunch of them stood in front of my exit at a bar.  As a matter of a fact, she used to be a pro-domme…and I’ve always wanted to play with her, but with the whole “massage therapist/client” relationship we had, it would have been awkward. And possibly creepy.

But now she lives in Philly. And I live in Denver. And she’s not my massage therapist any more. So….

I got through security, with very few issues (other than the line I was going in having the x-ray machine break down), hopped on the train, and went to meet her for breakfast.  Over Fry Bread French Toast (me) and a Buffalo Sandwich (her), we caught up…talked about kink, talked about relationships and hook ups, talked about derby.  And then she pulled out her quart sized back of travel sized products.  Wanna take a guess as to what was all mixed in with the shampoo, tooth paste and lotion?

18 gauge medical needles.  Yup.  And here I was, thinking I’d been all sneaky, getting away with nipple clamps in my purse.  Luckily, I’d done my research. I’d found out about as lesser used, not as crowded bathroom. We were in a hurry in order to make our flights, but we scurried to the bathroom, snuck into the handicapped stall, and she sterilized her hands, and then my back as soon as I took my shirt off.

Carefully, she inserted them into my back.  The first one was on the right, and was fabulous.

The second was on the left, and just like when K pierced me, it hurt far more. The bathroom wasn’t empty, so I was whispering “fuck fuck fuck” under my breath.  Then she took some pictures, because if you’re going to do something like this, you know you need pictures!

Then she took out the needles, recapped them (hey, we may be kinky perverts but we’re smart about things), cleaned the holes up a bit, and I got dressed again.  We hugged, took the train to each of our concourses, and said good bye.

I’d love to really play with her sometime. I think we’re really well matched as a top and bottom…maybe I’ll go visit Philly, or she’ll want to come see Western Regionals next year in Denver. Who knows?

Regardless…how many people can say that they’ve played in an airport? (I mean, other than senators from conservative states?) I feel pretty self satisfied :)

Porn Review: GoodDykePorn.com

I was lucky enough to get the oppotunity to peek under the skirt of GoodDykePorn.com, and holy guacamole!

Basically, it’s a bunch of really hot (and completely real) dykes, making good porn.  Pretty much what the title says.

The site itself is a little hard to navigate – if you want to find a certain video, you have to go back through all of the updates to find it. I kind of wish there was some sort of index – maybe by who was in the film, or where it was located/the theme, or the type of action (oral/BDSM/strap on/etc).  Just something to make it a little easier to find what you’re looking for.

There is also a forum, which has great potential, but right now, there are only a few members signed up.  Hopefully, as the popularity of the site increases, so will the use of the forum. I really like queer and/or porn/adult sites that have blogs and forums, because it increases discussion, user participation (plus, when my crushes are writing, I kinda sorta feel like I know them a bit more).

On to the porn.  It is HOT. I think my favorite one was Guerilla Porno with Aya Ruckus and Eddie Bull. Firstly, they’re both incredibly cute (which is awesome, since they are in a lot of the scenes on the site). Secondly, they’re having sex in a train yard, in public, in the middle of the day. I whole heartedly approve.  The sex is hot, heavy, and delicious…and one of my favorite parts? The black latex gloves.  Not only so I have a little black latex glove fetish, but I also really appreciate safer sex in queer (actually, in any) porn, since it seems to be rare.

I also really enjoyed the scene between Alex Craven and Geneva.  Real dykes, real sex, real hot.  Plus toys, which I whole-heartedly approve of.

Right now, the site is slightly homogenous, with many of the same talent performing in multiple scenes (although with people like Aya and Eddie, I’m not complaining!).  Hopefully, as they grow, so will their talent pool, and we’ll get to see more and more good dyke porn.

I’m really excited about this site, and look forward to seeing it as it progresses.  It fills a much needed void in the field of queer porn; people of different races, body types, ages, and more. While most queer porn sites cover one or two of these, they often are all white with different ages, difference races in the same age group, or don’t show a variety of body types.  While I’d like to see more disabled dykes (am I offering myself up? Sure!) in queer porn, I’m aware that this is already a pretty freaking diverse group of talent. Bren Ryder has really done both the adult and queer communities justice with Good Dyke Porn.

Blogiversary Winners!

The Blogiversary Contest is over, and I have chosen my three winners (which I just mistyped as sinners…hmmm…).

So, with no further ado:

The most amusing winner was Juicy Justine….who put it two entries, both of which made me laugh.

The first was in response to 500,000 hits.

And the second from In Seattle Finally:

 

The most touching winner was Epiphora, with her little story on her journey, along with this picture, from the post An Interesting Letter.

This entry struck me because I used to be stick-thin, and I gained weight in college. It’s not what most people would consider a lot of weight, but I’ve still had to come to terms with it. Well, I’m still coming to terms with it. Using pretty toys has helped me connect with the body I have now, so I took a photo with my favorite glass dildo.

 

And the most artistic was without a doubt Agent Ansley’s, in response to Come Get Your Knife. SO FREAKING HOT. Loved it! A lot!


Devour from Ansley Agnello on Vimeo.

Thank you for your entries, congrats to these three lovely ladies, and thanks to ForYourNyphomation.com for the prizes!  They’ll be on their way shortly.

Sex Toy Review: Kama Sutra Massage Therapy Kit

I have met very few people in my life EVER that don’t like massages. I mean, there are so many types of massages; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Skin Rolling, and then there is the kind that I do.  What is that? Well, I do the best I can. I ask whoever I’m massaging what they like, hard or soft, any certain areas, etc. I love giving massages, I love getting them, I think massages are bloody brilliant.

Vibe Review has been kind enough to send me something to cater to my love of the massage; they sent me the Kama Sutra Massage Therapy Kit. This kit is lovely! It has five bottles of Kama Sutra massage oil, each one being 2 oz.  Each one comes in a different scent; Serenity, Pleasure Garden, Healing Blend, Soaring Spirit and Sweet Almond.

In my time giving massages (read: every freaking night in college when living in the dorms and onwards), I have tried a variety of lotions and oils.  Some are very greasy and make you gross and sticky forever…whereas others soak in and disappear right away, making it kind of pointless to even use them.  The Kama Sutra oils actually meet a happy medium – they are smooth and provide for effortless massages, but then they eventually rub in (after lots o’ rubbing), leaving your skin (or your partner’s skin) feeling incredibly soft, and just slightly scented.

Scent wise, my favorite is definitely the Soaring Spirit.  I find it really relaxing and refreshing – it has hints of ginger, peppermint, spearmint, fennel, orange and lemon.  Now, I like most of these scents/flavors in general – I drink a lot of mint tea, I eat a lot of ginger (pickled and candied), I eat fennel or oranges, and love to suck lemon wedges.  Ergo, it follows that I would love this scent, and I absolutely do.  However, it isn’t for everyone; F was not such a big fan.

Pleasure Garden was an interesting scent…I found it a little too…well…incense-y.  It isn’t very strong, which is a big plus for some people, but I could barely smell it.  It has hints of sandalwood, jasmine, rose and lavender, which makes me think of sitting in a Moroccan restaurant, which is certainly not a bad thing, but it’s just not really my type of scent.

The Sweet Almond scent is really, really, really relaxing.  It is great for a massage right before bed, and it is definitely a scent I would love to fall asleep to.

I found the Healing Blend to be a little strong, because it has so many different scents within it, but I could see how it would be really popular in general.

Serenity is a nice blend, and actually, my favorite way to use this is not really as a massage oil, but to drop into water, whether into a foot bath for soaking my feet, or into a fully drawn bath to soak and relax.

I will say that my cats weren’t the biggest fans of any of the scents…but they hated them less my Biofreeze and Tiget Balm, so it’s not a huge travesty.

I really like having the kit, because you have a choice of scents, and try them all out.  However, if you’ve already figured out which scent is right for you, you can also buy large bottles of the massage oil (which I’ve already done with Soaring Spirit!).

Swag Contest: Crave Ankle and Wrist Restraints

Hey folks.  I’m doing another giveaway, and this one is for those who like a little bondage in their sex life.  I’ll be giving away a set of restraints, made by Crave. They are sexy and purple (I know!) and the winner will get both ankle restraints and wrist restraints. They’re cute, they’re comfy, and I am definitely jealous of whoever wins them. Oh – did I mentioned that they’re lined with faux fur? Cause they are. Courtesy of EdenFantasys. This will be my last giveaway from this company.

What do you have to do in order to win them?  Well, my limerick contest was so exciting and popular that I’ve decided to do something similar.  This is going to be a haiku contest.  The theme? Sexuality (duh).  You’re welcome to write it about me (I loved those limericks), but it doesn’t have to be.  It can be multiple verses, or just one verse.

What is a haiku?

It’s a short poem, consisting (when written in English, as compared to Japanese) of three lines.  The first and third lines have 5 syllables, the middle line has 7.

A Jewish haiku might be like this:

Harsh Scrabble discord–

someone has placed “putzhead” on

a triple word score.

Or like this:

Lacking fins or tail

the gefilte fish swims with

great difficulty.

Here is a Sarah Palin haiku:

This is so unfair

I look just like Tina Fey

but I’m not as smart 

But now, see, I want one about sexuality and/or me :)

To enter, send your entry to me by 11:59 MST on Friday, November 21st.  You can either post it on here as a comment, on send it via email to Essinem at Gmail dot Com.  You must provide an email, and be willing to give me your address to have it shipped to you, should you win.

Enter. Repost. Tell your friends. You know the drill.

Good luck!

-Essin’ Em

PS – the winner will need to write a review for EdenFantasys ON THE EF website (if not a contributor, you can register quickly, for free, and do it). Just FYI :)

Where’s Essin’ Em???

Want to know where I am? I know you do. I am at the Pornotopia Film Festival (featuring tons of sex-positive porn – queer, trans, kinky, and more!). I’m in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And if you are there too, you should email me (essinem at gmail dot com), or DM me on my twitter. My friend Molly is a co-owner of Self-Serve (the sex-positive store that is putting it on), and was nice enough to put me on the screening committee. There will be some amazing movies there, including Dacia’s Love Machine (Audacia Ray), Chemistry (by Tristan Taormino), Good Dyke Porn, Couch Surfers (by Trannywood Pictures), the Crash Pad Series (by Pink and White), Exploring the O (Jamye Waxman), Trans Entities (Morty Diamond) and MUCH MORE! Basically, it’s going to be awesome. Don’t you wish you were there? Good thing I am :)

-Essin’ Em

Here’s the 4-1-1:

Self Serve, Albuquerque’s favorite sexuality resource center, is pleased to announce the return of their headline-making PORNOTOPIA film festival, presented in partnership with The Guild Cinema from November 14 to 16, 2008. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased at Self Serve November 7th; discounts are available for multiple screenings. All screenings will take place at the Guild, 3405 Central Ave NE. All events are 18+ with ID required.

Molly Adler and Matie Fricker, co-founders and co-owners of Self Serve, have curated a selection of independent erotic films that celebrate sex in all its fun, healthy, tender, raw, and real beauty. For the 2008 Festival, they’ve added a comedy component to the festival, featuring Porn Parodies (Itself) Friday night at 9 pm, the first Pornotopia Art Show, and a live performance Saturday night. Additionally, they’re proud that over 70% of the movies are made by women filmmakers.

“Pornotopia is all about a fun and empowering erotic experience,” Matie explains. “After the overwhelming success of last year’s festival, Molly and I were struck by the need for people to celebrate… It’s the core principle behind our store and this festival. The Art Show at Stove is a natural extension of promoting healthy, raw and real images of sexuality from various perspectives.”

Molly says, “Pornotopia is a a celebration of quality erotic film. Its about exposing people to a genre of film that’s quickly dismissed as offensive or, at best, just formulaic. Matie and I believe this Festival provides a great opportunity to be surprised by the movies we’ve chosen with the help of our Screening Committee (of 20 viewers).”

Self Serve has partnered with STOVE Gallery in PORNOTOPIA: THE ART SHOW. Stove will host an art show from November 7-30, with an Opening Reception November 7, 5-10 pm. Stove Gallery is located at 114 Morningside NE in Upper Nob Hill.

Saturday, November 15 at 10:30 is Female Trouble, the John Waters classic, a live performance by Santa Fe Drag Star Wenda Watch, and special guest appearance by Mink Stole, herself.

At the eve of Last year’s Pornotopia Festival, the City of Albuquerque zoning office threatened to shut down the festival, cite and fine the Guild Theater for adult zoning violations. The Guild Cinema and Self Serve, with attorneys from the ACLU, met with representatives of City Councilor Rey Garduno, City Zoning, and the City Attorney’s office and are continuing to work towards a mutually satisfying resolution. The ACLU of New Mexico stands by Self Serve and The Guild Cinema and their constitutionally protected right to promote awareness about sexuality without the fear of government censorship or other appraisal.

Some Highlights from the Pornotopia Film Festival include:

Feeling It, Not Faking It! Director: Petra Joy

Award-winning director Petra Joy continues her sensual revolution of the adult movie genre. Her third erotic film Feeling it! celebrates intimacy, sensuality and ecstasy. The focus is on female pleasure. The film is based on Petra’s motto Feeling it, not faking it! and features players who enjoy a genuine sensual chemistry rather than putting on an act for the cameras. This movie is a visual erotic feast that aims to inspire, excite and liberate beyond the cliches of mainstream porn that leave most women cold. Petra is proud to promote safe sex and feature a multinational cast. Excerpt scenes: Feeling It & Artcore. Petra Joy just received the special “Award for Pioneering Achievements in Adult Films for Women” at the Venus trade show in Berlin in October.

Chemistry – by Tristan Taormino

Imagine an uncensored, intimate look at seven stars who know who they are and what they want. When left to their own devices for two days, anything goes. Get a unique perspective as they film each other with their own “perv cam” and share personal revelations in the private confessional. See all the elements come together in this wild experiment: raw emotions, spontaneous sex, explosive orgasms, and that one ingredient that drives everything: chemistry. Chemistry won the 2007 Feminist Porn Award for hottest gonzo sex scene and Hottest Diverse Cast among many other accolades.

Kiss Attack – by Carlos Batts

Kiss Attack is the first ever action / erotic film by former New Mexican Carlos Batts. Kiss Attack is a revolutionary sex fantasy that blends an exotic cast which includes April Flores, Sasha Gray, LA Cholita and more. Features comic illustrations, animation, martial arts and ground breaking music. April Flores was voted #8 in Fleshbot.com Crushes of 2006. Fleshbot says: “In a landscape of willowy porn babes. April Flores’ unabashed (and all-natural) extra-curviness is a refreshing antidote to the two-beach-balls-on-a-stick look…”

Cinco Historias Para Ellas (Five Hot Stories For Her) – Written and Directed by: Erika Lust

A compilation of five short films written and directed by Erika Lust, created especially for women and couples. Erika presents modern, urban, spicy and erotic stories featuring natural and realistic sex. “Five Hot Stories for Her” won Best Script at the Festival of Erotic Cinema in Barcelona 2007, Best Film for Women at the Erotic E-Line Awards (Berlin 2007), obtained an Honorable Best Mention at the CineKink Festival (New York 2008) and most recently was awarded Best Movie of the Year at the Feminist Porn Awards (Toronto 2008).

BDSM: It’s Not What You Think- by Wade Keye, Erin Palmquist, Brad Vanderbilt, R. Trent Walton

BDSM It’s Not What You Think confronts stigma and stereotype surrounding kink and fetish play through leading voices within the BDSM community. With intimate interviews and playful vignettes this film targets progressive outsiders and guides them through the minefield of misconceptions and prejudice that kinksters must routinely face.

Un Chant D’Amour

This showcase features Jean Genet’s rarely seen semi-pornographic film UN CHANT D’AMOUR. Originally made for Parisian gay porn collectors in 1950, the film is visually reminiscent of Jean Cocteau’s Blood of a Poet, Belle et la Bete and Kenneth Anger’s Fireworks. The story, set in a prison with three main characters, a guard and two prisoners, is a voyeuristic, confrontational, poetic masterpiece. Despite all elements of his writings being present, Genet actually denounced the making of this film when he became popular as a novelist. Forbidden in France upon its release, and until recently was only available in the US in censored form and through underground distribution, UN CHANT D’AMOUR is now released from its obscurity and is presented in its complete version.

Crash Pad Series 1 by Pink & White Productions

In The Crash Pad Series, Volume 1, leading indie feminist porn director Shine Louise Houston returns to the world of her astonishing debut film The Crash Pad. The premise: some lucky women are given keys to a very special apartment, and once inside, they let their inhibitions go. Sexy femmes, buff butches, cute bois, and assorted sexy transfolk unleash their passions behind closed doors – but you’ve got the key to come inside and watch. Winner of the 2008 Feminist Porn Award for Hottest Dyke Film!

Viva – by Anna Biller

A suburban housewife in 1972 is abandoned by her husband, and goes out to find herself in the middle of the swinging Playboy-era sexual revolution. Looking for love and adventure, she explores nudist colonies, orgies, prostitution, bisexuality, and Bohemia, becoming a Candide of the 1970′s and finding liberation along the way. Just an FYI: This soft core feature has no “insertion.”

For tickets and more information, call 505-265-5815 or visit www.selfservetoys.com.

For details about the City’s effort to cite the Festival for zoning violations, contact Whitney Potter, Communications Director at 505-266-5915 ext. 1003 or cell 505-507-9898 wpotter@aclu-nm.org
