Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out (2009)
Director- Courtney Trouble
Studio- Reel Queer Productions / Good Releasing
Cast- Carson, Puck Goodfellow, Joline Parton, Sophia, Tina Horn, Sarah Lee Sinful, Jae

Courtney Trouble (Reel Queer Productions) recently joined forces with GoodVibes.com and their new adult film production company Good Releasing, directing and producing four films already this year including Roulette, Nostalgia, Speak Easy and Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out.  In case you don’t know who Courtney Trouble is, she is the creator of NoFauxxx.com “the longest running queer porn site on the web” and her film Roulette won the Feminist Porn Award for “Most Deliciously Diverse Cast” just this year.  Her film company, Real Queer Productions “documents authentic, edgy, queer sex and culture with relevant, intelligent films inclusive of the many sexualities that identify as queer.”

 Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

And, the timing couldn’t be better.  Queer Porn is the new alt-porn of the adult industry, an up-and-coming genre that is making waves across the pornosphere with directors like Shine Louise Houston, Courtney Trouble and Madison Young, and queer adult film actors like Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Dylan Ryan and many more.

 Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out

“Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” is Trouble’s answer to reality porn, in which she gathers a amateur cast of diverse queer women and a transman Puck Goodfellow, puts them in a slumber party environment to play spin-the-bottle and Truth or Dare, and films the sexy frolicking that transpires.  With no script, no rules and no limits, the cast are free to explore their fantasies and desires with whomever they choose, a few of which part-take in every experience and scene they can get themselves into like sex-starved, greedy little hedonists.  Two of the cast have never participated in an adult before and talk about their experience in behind-the-scenes interludes.

As you may imagine, what emerges is a fantastic fuck-fest featuring strap-ons and gang-bangs, spanking, role-play and power exchanges, fisting and fingering, lessons in cock sucking, kissing, fondling and playful teasing.  Where one scene ends, the other begins and the sex and play seems to go on forever, with bodies changing places, a new strap-on here, a new twosome, threesome or foursome reveling in hot, sexy, authentic, queer, smoldering, diverse, inter-racial hardcore sex.  There is never a dull moment, and the chemistry between the cast and their enthusiasm is evident in their sparkling eyes, laughs and smiles, and orgasmic moans.

This film is every queer girl’s wet dream, and certainly one of my all-time fantasies.  I won’t go into a scene-by-scene, as you really have to see this film for yourself.  So, if you are a fan of queer porn and Courtney Trouble’s work, or if you are curious to what it’s all about and want a great jill’in off experience, go buy “Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out” now from GoodVibes.com.

There will be a debate with seven of the eight current Democratic contenders for the Presidential nomination – every one except Biden – on Logo, the LGBT channel, on August 9. You can watch it on cable if you get the channel, or on Logo’s website. You can submit a question for the debate here.

In addition to being the newsletter editor for the Washington State Stonewall Democrats, I am a member of the OffTheBus campaign analysis team at Huffington Post, and hope to cover this debate. I’m interested in getting some reactions from people before, possibly during, and definitely after the debate. I ask that you be willing to identify yourself with your real first name, last name, and city and state of residence in order to be interviewed for this. I’ll want to talk via either phone or email with the same people both before and after; email me at my LJ address to get started. Here are some of the questions I’m interested in:

  • Will you watch this debate?
  • Did you know about it before this post?
  • What do you think of the idea of having an LGBT-focused debate?
  • What questions do you want answered?
  • What is your stakehold in this? Do you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT community, a straight ally, an opponent, or what?
  • What is your impression of the candidates going into this debate? I’ll also want to know your impression of them afterward, and whether that’s changed for any of them, and why.
  • What is your impression of the candidates who were invited but didn’t choose to participate: Joe Biden and every Republican contender? Has that changed due to their decision not to participate in this debate?

Thanks,

Aug. 5, 2007 – In a crowded primary field, every vote counts. So it’s probably not surprising that six of the eight Democratic presidential contenders for 2008 plan to participate in the first debate devoted entirely to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues on Aug. 9 in Los Angeles. (Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd declined to attend, citing scheduling conflicts) Still, the event’s sponsors, the Human Rights Campaign and Viacom’s Logo cable TV network, are touting the event as an historic opportunity for the gay community to raise its issues on a national stage. The forum, moderated by Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News, will run from 9-11 p.m. ET on Logo and Logo.com. (The sponsors say they invited GOP candidates to participate in their own gay debate, but that none signed on.)
