Selina Fire

Selina Fire had a great visit to London and stayed with Suzanne Portnoy. When I’d ask each of them how the trip was, they’d each start sputtering and exclaiming, “oh my God!, oh my God!” They did so much, I got tired just reading her writeup.

She also accompanied Suzanne when she was interviewed, along with Abby Lee, for the Sex Blogessy documentary. The interview/taping sounds like it was a hoot:

Suzanne and I and Abby got down and dirty. To help push the conversation, I say I believe it’s so popular now for men to want to cum on a girl’s face because coming in one’s pussy could transmit AIDS. It’s a safe-sex thing. But Suzanne and Abby think otherwise. They think it comes from porn, and they don’t like porn sex, they say. Wow. I love Martin coming on my face. I feel doubly like a slut when I admit this. Abby and Suzanne start talking about what it feels like to have a guy cum on your face, and say how grossed out they are by it. Then Suzanne says, “Sometimes it’s going in your mouth, and some of it gets on your face, but that’s alright, that’s an occupational hazard,” and Craig interrupts her and said that topic IS actually too obscene for British TV. Wow. …And they said we could talk about anything.

During a break, Suzanne and I are talking about how to fuck a guy with a strap on. I give the tip from Nina Hartley: Rock against his ass; you don’t have to fuck all the time. I tell the guys in the camera crew that men should get credit for how much work fucking is. “It’s like pushups!” I say. “Yeah, it’s a lot of work,” says Suzanne. “Who knew how strong you had to be to fuck someone? You guys should get a lot of credit.” “Yeah, no wonder they can do pushups so easily. They do it all the time! It comes naturally!” I say. I don’t know if they are appalled or embarrassed or both. You can hear a pin drop.

When I saw the producer a few weeks later in New York he told me that the camera man, who’s been all over the world and has seen everything, just gasped and whispered to him, “Holy fuck!” as we were talking. I guess scandalized them. Sorry, boys!

bir 25 Happy birthday, Selina!

DO 2006PC1 Were going to Spring FireRemember how Jefferson, Selina, Marcus and I went to Dark Odyssey’s summer camp?

Remember what clueless, trembling, newbies we were? Hell, at least I was. Now, we are going to be presenting at Dark Odyssey’s Spring Fire. How hilarious is that?

We’ll be doing a panel on sex blogging. I will be moderating. Wish me luck – moderating this group could be like herding cats. Between us, our blogs cover a diverse range of interests (as Jefferson dubbed us, the doyenne, the hippie, the whore and the slut) and raise a multitude of issues (creating characters, privacy, anonymity, propriety).

I’ll also be teaching a workshop called ‘Everything You Need to Know about Becoming a Sex Blogger (But Were Afraid to Ask).’ It’ll cover question such as:

  • Should I have a blog?
  • What is this ‘blogging’ thing?
  • How do I get on the internets?
  • Sure, I have a blog, but how do readers find me?
  • Should I write as myself, or under a pseudonym?

I’ll have a lot of tips and tools for setting up a blog, finding inspiration and writing well and building readership in this highly interactive medium. If you’re promoting a book or project, I have lots of idea about how to get the word out.

Jefferson and Marcus will be doing sessions on orgy organizing and etiquette (‘Naked in a Crowd’) and on male bisexuality (‘Odd Man In’). I plan on sitting at the back of the room and heckling them. ;-D

And Selina’s cooking up a a fun icebreaker event.

Tristan has posted the complete workshop list on the Dark Odyssey website.

See you at Spring Fire!
