Sexuality Happens

Here is my first fabulous video review (toy and video awesomeness courtesy of Fascinations!). It’s of the really cool aluminum dildo by Tantus, the Alumina Revolve. I liked it a lot, as you can see, and my vulva puppet Viviane makes a cameo as well!

What better to do in honor of having a porn-tastic weekend than review some porn right here on Sexuality Happens.

I’ve been watching and enjoying Trannywood Pictures for quite some time – here you can see my review of Couch Surfers (the first).

It may have taken two years for them to have come out with a new DVD, but it’s worth it. Granted, I was a little heartbroken that my favorite guy, Ian Foxe, didn’t make a return, but heartbreaker Dex Hardlove and the adorable Lube Boy, Ian Sparks and much of the gang are all back in action, plus some new faces.

This gay porn with a mix of trans guys and cis guys is the only thing like it on the market, and it’s no wonder it is so popular. There isn’t much of a plot, but nor does there need to be – it’s a bunch of hot guys (including some bears – oh my!) getting in on all over the place at the Eros Center for Safe Sex.

Speaking of which, I always love that in their movies, Trannywood chooses to discuss and use safer sex.  In this one, there is a conversation between a set of partners about using barriers, and they choose not to. I’m going to assume that they are in a real life, fluid bonded relationship, and I really appreciated seeing that dialogue.  I also loved that overall, there was lots of use of condoms, dams (for analingus), gloves, etc. Oh yeah – the DVD also includes a handout on why fuck a transguy (and the other side for a cis guy) Politics in my porn; I LOVE it.

The sex scenes were hot, and one boggled my mind.  Picture two cis guys going at it, using neither of their bio cocks to fuck (until one gets a blow job at the end). It’s things like that which make me love Trannywood in the first place. I like to think a little while I jerk off, but that’s just how I roll.

While I still think that Couch Surfers (the first) was my favorite, what with Hardlove’s double fising scene (which I got to replicate in a vaginal fisting class I taught, fulfilling that fantasy), I definitely enjoyed CS2 – great quality of film production, hot cock sucking, rimming and fucking, and a fun musical score.  Whether you like gay male porn, or love seeing FTMs in actions, I think this is definitely worth a shot. Don’t forget, V-day is coming up…order one for your sweetie.

I found this lovely video through the rocking and pervy Mollena. I then proceeded to shoot iced tea out my nose when he bespoke of his uber dominant cock.

So please enjoy the reasons why dominants can’t play a simple game of cards together.

Thanks Mollena!

Ok, I’m assuming that everyone read about my blogiversary contest.  If you didn’t, just click the link.

There were some outstanding entries, both in the accuracy and creativity divisions. The accuracy one is much easier to judge. While a few of the answers have a bit of a spectrum, most are correct or in correct.  However, I’m having a hell of a time judging the creative side!  Remember, this is not about correctness of answers, but about the awesome creativity and uniqueness of delivery. This is where you, dear readers, come in. I have three entries I’ve selected as the most creative. I need you to watch/click through/read the three, and let me know which one YOU think deserves Prize Pack Two:

A FYN Foot long case in BLACK from For Your Nymphomation

A two month long, level 2 CrashPadSeries.com membership from Pink and White

A Bed Bindings restraint kit from SexToy.com (winner will need to pay shipping)

A Goliath Silicone Dildo from Vibe Review

A Zeus Electrogasm from Extreme Restraints

A Thigh Harness from Babeland

To vote, just leave a comment here for either Andrea, Jexibitionism, or Heather by the 28th, and I’ll have all three winners posted on the 30th.

Thanks,

-Essin’ Em

Andrea, FROM GERMANY, made me a freaking youtube video of the answers, as shown here (with fabulous music choices including Goldfrapp and Goddes and She!!):

And then, there was Jexibitionism, with an awesomely photoshopped entry (my favorite part? Kali rocking out on the Liberator Scoop, which is so true to life!).

On the other hand, Heather_Daisy from FetLife entered with a creative writing sample, as seen below (because who doesn’t want to be viewed as a sex savvy super hero? COME ON!):

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…Essin’ Em, the sex-positive superhero! Traveling throughout the world, she shares toys, lube and knowledge to make the world a happier, more sex-filled place.

VITAL STATS

Alter Ego: Shanna Katz

Age: 23

Education: Before donning her superhero garb, Shanna received a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and German and a master’s degree in Human Sexuality Education.

Last Known Whereabouts: Recently seen in Colorado, Essin’ Em has also been spotted helping spread the joys of sex in the six states of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, and Washington as well as Germany.

Primary Ability: While her ability to come copiously is well-known, Essin’ Em’s superpower is communication. Although the fact that she can roll her tongue is worth noting.

Primary Weapon: The Hitachi Magic Wand is this supergal’s most powerful tool to help one of her favorite body parts – the cunt. Some of her other favorite doodads in her arsenal against bad sex include Lelo, Smartballs, Thigh Harness, Pjur’s Body Glide, and vampire gloves.

Trademark Outfit: Dressed to kill in cat’s eye glasses and her flame corset (featuring fave colors red and black), Essin’ Em eschews the traditional spandex for something a little bit more conducive to some of her kinkier activities, including fire play and forced orgasms. Unlike other sexy superheroes, she does not wear pink.

Identifying Marks: Essin’ Em might be one of the few tatooed superheroes (most people have never seen the skull and crossbones tattoo on Wonder Woman’s inner thigh). She currently has 5 tattoos, including a femme spiral, a pig with wings, a crescent moon w/ stars and tears, an ‘all who wander are not lost’ quote, and two people embracing. While some bystanders have sworn that the tattoos physically leave her body and aid her in her fight against phthalates, no current photo or video recordings exist to prove this urban myth.

Sidekicks / Known Associates: Essin’ Em has been romantically linked with a number of other delightfully deviant perverts, including K, F, J, M, L, S, and her current partner, Q.

Essin’ Em belongs to The League of Extraordinary Bloggers, which are like the Superfriends, but with more sex. Some of these bloggers that Essin’ Em has been known to pal around with include Audacia Ray, Jamye Waxman, Lolita Wolf, Sasha Sappho, Fivestar, Always Aroused Girl, Vera Worthington, and Sinclair Sexmith, who has also been nicknamed “the Femme Finder” for her ability to help young lesbians find their identity.

Kali and Kinsey, two feisty cats, occasionally accompany Essin’ Em and help her review the non-sexual benefits of Liberator furniture.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY She isn’t an alien from another world. She wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider. She didn’t see her parents killed by an evil villain. Essin’ Em is just a girl trying to bring a lot of joy…and a lot orgasms…to the good people of this little blue planet.

Essin’ Em entered the kinky superhero world via her first job in the “adult industry,” as a reviewer for EdenFantasys. This led her to work with a variety of organizations to help battle bad sex, including popular toy producers For Your Nymphomation, Liberator, Babeland, Extreme Restraints, and Good Vibrations as well as porn producers Crash Pad, GoodDykePorn, and NoFauxxx.

When she’s not lusting after Jiz Lee or trying to make the world a better place by fighting for homosexual, animal and gender rights, Essin’ Em spends her time giving advice via The Lesbian Lifestyle, Out Front Colorado, and her Facebook fan page, which was set up by The Kinky Librarian.

If all has gone right (and I hope to various deities that it has), we will be in Phoenix tonight, at our new condo that we’re renting, ready to sign the lease.

I won’t have internet for a while until I can get it all hooked up, so posts will be pre-written, and it might take me a while to get to emails…

While you’re waiting for me, my awkwardness, and my snarkiness to return, please enjoy the video below about the concept of lesbians and U-Hauls. I’m not sure whether to laugh or shake my head.

My good friend Sasha Sappho posted this on her blog a while ago, and I just re-discovered it. Enjoy.

(PS – for anyone that didn’t know, I’m one of “those gays”)

Since Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is coming out at midnight tonight, and Q and I are going to go see it (I’m dressing up of course), I am embedding the trailer:

Also:

Here is me at the premiere for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in college (I’m far left)

And

This one is summer 2007 for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

So for those of you going to the midnight premiere tonight, have fun. For those of you going in the future, enjoy.  And for those of you non-HP fans, well.  Bugger on you.

I will leave you with this video and song:

I found this video through the lovely Audacia Ray and her work with Speak Up! and sex work awareness/advocacy. Please watch, and visit the site. Much sex work/er awareness is needed.

When I was visiting J at SUNY-Purchase in NY, I met one of J’s friends; the lovely and oh so talented Mal Blum. I was delighted to rediscover her a few weeks back on Myspace, and am hoping to convince her to make a stop in Colorado (I mean, she has a VEGAN song.  So perfect for Boulder, right?).  Anyways, she has a music video.  It amuses me.  A lot.  And goddess knows we could all do with a few good laughs right now.  So without any further ado, I present Mal Blum and her music video for Ode to Kulele.
