Queer Porn goes to the AVNs!!

That’s right, folks, it’s that time again: The nominations list for the 2012 AVN Awards has been posted!

While the AVNs are not exactly geared to a queer audience – especially with categories clearly separated by gender and race – there are a number of queer nominations this year!

Juicy Pink Box’s Taxi swept several nomination categories! Between the web series and the DVD releases of the online episodes, Taxi has been nominated for:
Best All-Girl Group Scene (Madison Young, Jiz Lee & Nic Switch)
Best All-Girl Release
Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene (Justine Joli & Syd Blakovich)
Best New Series
Best Solo Sex Scene (Justine Joli)
And those are on top of Juicy Pink Box’s additional nominations for  Best New Line, Best Solo Release (Therapy), and Best Alternative Website! Super congrats to Juicy Pink Box!

I’ve already written about how much I loved Tristan Taormino’s Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind, and evidently, I’m not the only one who loved it! Tristan Taormino and Adrianna Nicole managed to score nominations for:
Best Anal Sex Scene (Adrianna Nicole & Ramon Nomar)
Best Director – Non-Feature (Tristan Taormino)
Best Group Sex Scene (Adrianna Nicole, Nat Turnher, Danny Wylde, Keni Styles & Evan Stone)
Best Threeway Sex Scene (Adrianna Nicole, Keni Styles & Danny Wylde)
Best Vignette Release
And, of course, Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guides to Female Orgasms (reviewed here by Good Queer Porn) and Advanced Anal Sex were also nominated for Best Educational Release!

Buck Angel has also joined the educational ranks, with his new film Sexing The Transman XXX! This explicit film depicting transmale sexuality is nominated for both Best Educational Release and Best Transsexual Release!

A third queer-friendly runner for Best Educational Release is GUSH: The Official Guide to the G-Spot & Female Ejaculation! This tutorial includes several familiar faces, including Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Sophia St. James, Dylan Ryan, Mickey Mod, and more!

Digital Playground may be a pretty mainstream company, but their first “Girl/Girl” release Cherry has earned a nomination for Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene (Jiz Lee & Andy San Dimas)! Jiz Lee talks about the importance of their mainstream work on their blog:

While my work in this, like my work with other Los Angeles companies, is labeled as “G/G”, I hail from a more gender fluid genre of queer porn and personally identify as androgynous/genderqueer. So even though I’m not necessarily a “girl”, my participation in these films is a marked difference from their past productions and the aesthetic of traditional porn models.
(You can read Jiz’s full entry about Cherry here.)

Between her scenes with Jiz Lee on Crash Pad Series and Courtney Trouble’s Live Sex Show, Nina Hartley has become an increasingly familiar face in queer porn! Let’s collectively congratulate her on having her personal site – nina.com – running for Best Porn Star Website!

And what of the websites featured regularly on Good Queer Porn?

The Crash Pad Series 6: Wide Open DVD from Pink & White Productions has been nominated for Best Specialty Release – Other Genre!
(read Crash Pad Series’ press release)

As a solid part of Good Dyke Porn and a performer of QueerPorn.tv, I will be enthusiastically rooting for both companies in their respective nominations for Best Alternative Website!

As per tradition, there will be a posse of queer representatives heading to the AVNs (myself included)! QueerPorn.tv will be coordinating everyone this year, and Courtney Trouble has put out a fundraising call: help us get to Vegas!
(read Courtney’s fundraising blog & QueerPorn.tv’s press release)

Congratulations to everyone on some mighty spiffy nominations! Good luck at the awards show!

Boys, Boys, Boys!

Queer porn is a lot of things. It’s been described as feminist porn, dyke porn, or porn made by women for women. But what about the boys? While there are plenty of boys in queer porn as well, there’s not a lot of material for viewers who are all about the boys.

T-Wood Pictures (aka Trannywood Pictures) has been providing queer-ified gay porn DVDs for years. My very first queer porn purchase was a copy of Cubbyholes, which I bought off the shelf at The Kiss Store in Vancouver. It introduced what seemed at the time to be a foreign concept: a bathhouse full of transmen and cismen alike! How novel!

The bathhouse setting has stuck with T-Wood over the years, as the founders – including on-screen star Ian Sparks – also run the EROS spa in San Francisco. This location is far from exhausted; recent release Trannywood Gone Wild (click HERE for VOD download) is past the introduction to the bathhouse, and now has the freedom to get deeper, sexier, and sillier.

The opening scene in Trannywood Gone Wild introduces the vibe of the film by lubing up an inflatable pool and sliding the entire cast of slippery transmen into it for some giggly, clumsy wrestling. (We later revisit everyone in the pool, including Brett McCloskey, Cubb, Seth Trader, and River Tiger, for some sexier action.)

We then explore more of the club: Dale Ryder visits the glory holes in search of some mystery cocks, later revealed to be those of Dorian Darkalley and Rowan MacLachlan. Another room is occupied by daddy/boy combo Mason Dix and Bootsie Barker. The novelty of the men being transmen is long gone – this is now for viewers who love them some gay sex.

As enthusiastic as I am about manporn, sometimes you need some other genders thrown in to mix things up. While T-Wood Pictures is still a boys’ club, the same creators have now started Dolores Park Studios, an all-genders production company, as well! When asked about the differences between T-Wood and DP Studios, Ian Sparks said:

Trannywood Pictures (or T-Wood) is a safe sex/harm reduction based porn company that focuses on gay men, both cis gender and trans gender.  The ratios vary from DVD to DVD but can be 80% trans guys to 50% trans guys.

Dolores Park Studios, is the queer all genders partner of T-Wood.  Providing an additional space for transmen to work in safe sex porn, along with cis gender men and women and trans women.  The emphasis on transmale sexuality sets us apart from the other queer porn companies.

Dolores Park Studios debuted their first DVD Brunch Bunch earlier this year. I was excited to see the all-star cast, featuring (by scene):

Syd Blakovich & Javier

James Darling, Peter Piper (aka Deluxx Dash), Dale Ryder & Bos
(James & Peter pictured above)

Joie & Dorian Darkalley

Drew Deveaux & Vid Tuesday

Dolores Park Studios takes Brunch Bunch out of the bathhouse and into the bedroom, where there is just as little plot as there always has been! Dorian Darkalley is hosting a sexy party, and it doesn’t take long for everyone to get down to business.

While each scene has its own charm, the first and final scenes are tied for my favourites. Putting Vid Tuesday and Drew Deveaux together was a major casting success, and Syd Blakovich’s unstoppable fuckpower is well-matched against Javier’s insatiable perv-energy. As always, Brunch Bunch maintains T-Wood/Dolores Park Studios’ commitment to safer sex, and the use of barriers is only interrupted once a conversation about STI testing has occurred. My only criticism is the choice of phrasing; Javier mentions that he thinks “clean tests” are hot, and Syd agrees. Being the sex nerd that I am, it irks me to hear the implication that people who test positive are “dirty,” so I would have preferred them to refer to “negative tests” instead. That being said, they were mid-fuck and it’s porn and I’m pretty impressed that a conversation like that was even included on-screen, staged or not.

I also want to give a shout-out to EROS, which was the first bathhouse I ever went to! I was nervous about going there as a transman, and thought that even if the company was trans-friendly, the clientele might not be. I was pleasantly surprised: the staff was blatantly queer, there were info pamphlets everywhere about sex with transmen, and a man I met in the sauna took me out to dinner after EROS closed. A+! I recommend EROS to anyone even remotely male-identified who finds themselves in San Francisco.

You’d think running a bathhouse and two porn companies simultaneously would result in only occasional DVD releases, but there is already another T-Wood production being released this week. After only glancing at the cast in the picture below, I have decided that this upcoming film may become my new favourite DVD of theirs.

I’m a big fan of their other releases, and it’ll be a challenge to officially swing my favour over to a whole new T-Wood film…but, well, Quinn Valentine. I’m sold.

PS: There is currently a folder of Trannywood Pictures & Dolores Park Studios promo stills on my desktop labelled “trannyDP.” As if this Macbook wasn’t questionable enough already.

Occupy Queer Porn!

The Internet is a fantastic (and, well, the only) way to follow what’s happening within the Occupy movement. However, just Googling “Occupy Wall Street” or even looking up the hashtag for your city of interest can be incredibly overwhelming.

The primary way I’ve been staying in the loop is by keeping track of people I already know and care about – friends, family, and the performers, producers, bloggers, and viewers of queer porn.

I propose that anyone who considers themselves to be within the queer porn community (this includes fans) who is posting about their city’s Occupation should be included in a single database. Keeping track of the familiar faces within the movement will strengthen our solidarity!

Are you tweeting/blogging about Occupy Wall Street and/or Occupying your own city? Leave us a comment or tweet @GoodQueerPorn with your link, and you’ll be added to the database!

If you’ve seen part 1, you’ve probably been on the edge of your seat waiting for this thrilling conclusion.

It took some rummaging through the Characters page to remember where I’d seen Rozen DeBowe’s face. Turns out she’s been to the Pad before – but not since the 5th episode of Season 1!  She’s returned in this latest clip with “long time listener, first time caller” Eden Alexander, who may be new to the Crash Pad, but is certainly no stranger to hot queer sex.

Important Updates!

If you’re not following Courtney Trouble, either via her blog or her Twitter account, you may want to consider it. As usual, Courtney is singlehandedly moving and shaking the world of queer porn.

TROUBLESOME PROJECT #1: TROUBLEFilms Network

Courtney Trouble has linked CourtneyTrouble.com, QueerPorn.tv, NoFauxxx.com, Queer Porn Tube, and the recently-launched Trouble Films under what is now known as the TROUBLEfilms Network. Now you can easily navigate all of Courtney’s sites using the handy bright pink bar at the top of each one!

TROUBLESOME PROJECT #2: Live Sex Show

Courtney Trouble’s 12th film, entitled Live Sex Show, was shot in front of a live audience of 200 people at 2010’s San Francisco’s Masturbate-a-Thon. Starring Nina Hartley and Jiz Lee in an educational yet filthy finger-fucking scene, April Flores and the Matador in a dramatically-lit, cock-slurping, pussy-pounding love story, and Courtney herself in a climactic surprise 5-on-1 porn-star-on-director gang bang!
More information on Live Sex Show is available here.

TROUBLESOME PROJECT #3: Queer Porn Tube

Queer Porn Tube has undergone a makeover! Now you can submit collections of photos, instead of just videos!
(The one above, naturally, caught my eye first.)

TROUBLESOME PROJECT #4: Fisting Day

As I mentioned yesterday, Jiz Lee and Courtney Trouble have combined their censorship frustrations and declared October 21st – this Friday – Fisting Day! You, too, can celebrate Fisting Day. Simply blog/tweet/post about fisting, privately fist someone in the comfort of your own home, or enter the Queer Porn Tube Fisting Contest! To enter, join the Fisting Group, post some kind of fisting content (porn, a song, a conversation topic, etc.), and win a Skype date with Courtney Trouble herself!

TROUBLESOME PROJECTS #5: Valencia

Courtney Trouble and Quinn Valentine have been working together on Chapter One of Valencia: The Movies. This is part of a large film rendition of Michelle Tea’s novel Valencia. They managed to raise well over a thousand dollars with the project’s Kickstarter, so now we’ll have to wait and see what this gorgeous project will be like! Personally, I’m all over the idea of watching Quinn Valentine play a young queer punk girl. (Or watching Quinn Valentine do anything else, for that matter.)

While Courtney’s project may be fully backed, Madison Young’s Kickstarter for her upcoming Femina Potens exhibit, Building Our Own Picket Fences, still has a long way to go.
Building Our Own White Picket Fences will consist of  collaboratively created visual art pieces and installations that will offer Queer perspectives on traditional notions of family, marriage, and relationships. The gallery will be divided into separate plots of “land,” on which each artist will create a vision of family and partnership that might be biological, conceptual, sexual, spiritual or political in nature. Artists may choose to create works based on a reflection of their own families, their own partnerships, or those that they have actively sought out in the queer community.
If you want to see this project come to fruition, please consider funding Madison Young’s Kickstarter!

One of the most common complaints I’ve heard re: queer porn is that it isn’t accessible enough from mobile devices. The solution is now here! I’ve noticed Heavenly Spire undergoing a few transformations, but currently their site is formatted specifically for the iPhone and iPad! You can also choose to purchase clips for rent or to own, without purchasing a membership.

The Crash Pad Series is continuing to announce livestreamed porn shoots on a fairly regular basis, so if you’re not following them on Twitter, I recommend it if you don’t want to miss their live material (available only to full members)!
Their most recent model Misha Mora (pictured above) wrote an interesting blog about her experience in the Pad and how queer porn is essentially anti-capitalist. Read what she has to say here.

Casting call! Good Dyke Porn has been posting primarily submitted content lately, but we’re gearing up to post more Vancouver material! If you live in/near Vancouver, BC (or the Seattle area) and you’re interested in being in a Good Dyke Porn shoot, send me an email at SPATS at CHARLIESPATS dot COM for info! All genders are welcome!
