In case you haven’t heard, GoodVibes.com now has its own adult porn production studio, GoodReleasing.com and I am overjoyed.  Two of my favorite girl-girl directors—Courtney Trouble (NoFauxxx.com) and Madison Young (MadisonBound.com)—are producing woman-made queer porn under Reel Queer Productions and were nominated at this years AVN Awards.  I have reviewed quite a few of both their films on PopMyCherryReview.com and also her on SexCarnival that you can also check out.

Nostalgia (2009) is a super-cool porno by up-and-cumming director, Courtney Trouble.  As the tile indicates, it has a nostalgic feel and pays homage to the late great Marilyn Chambers who sadly died of an aneurysm in April last year.  Marilyn Chambers was best known for her portrayal in Behind the Green Door (1972) in which her character Gloria gets kidnapped and “raped” before a live sleazy circus-like audience.

Scene 1- (Homage to Behind the Green Door) All girl three-way starring Jiz Lee

Two women are making out on a couch, one in a feather mask who is “warming” the other girl up (Gloria) to get her ready for the circus-rape orgy scene.  Killer tunes play in the background.  “Gloria” is then lead blindfolded into a dungeon scene where several spectators await including Carol Queen with a crazy voyeuristic smile on her face. “Gloria” is then “ravished” upon a stage by one the feathered girl, when in walks Jiz Lee, likewise feather-masked sporting a big strap-on.  The audience claps as both feather-masked women play with her, while Jiz mounts her, first slowly, then hard and fast.  She orgasms? Then both masked ladies squirt fem ejaculate over her.  This scene doesn’t have the impact that my memory has of the original film, but then I was probably pretty impressionable back then, and I can remember it being pretty “Wow!”  What may have lacked during this scene for me was the “rape” element.  In this film the scene is very “consensual” and doesn’t have the scary rape-fantasy scenario that many women fantasize about.  And, while I don’t agree with nonconsensual sex in real life, in fantasy having rough sex and being taken is hot.  Also, I remember the audience being more involved in the original than they are here. It was way more like a circus freak show, and being a freak, I loved the edgy atmosphere of the Behind the Green Door much better.  Of course, this is Courtney’s own take on it, but it just didn’t work for me as well as the original.

Interlude- Courtney & Pepper

Meanwhile, to begin the film and in between each episode, Courtney and real-life lover Pepper are making out as they watch the films via a computer screen. These are just short interludes until the end of the film.

Scene 2- (Homage to Deep Throat) All girl three-way with Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich and Madison Young.

In this homage to Deep Throat Madison plays a patient who can’t orgasm, or even feel any arousal what-so-ever from sex.  She comes to Dr. Syd for help as Jiz plays the trusty nurse in a blonde wig.  Sid is amazing in her geek glasses as the doctor, very hot and funny.  Got some great lines and definitely doesn’t fuck them up.  Madison does a pretty good job, but is very melodramatic.  Given that it is comedic she was most likely supposed to ham it up a bit.  Dr. Sid tries several methods to arouse Madison: bondage, a hitachi, strap-on; each to no avail.  Dr. Sid then discovers that Madison’s clit is in her throat.  “Ah ha!  I zink we’ve found it!”  Madison then hungrily gobbles down Sid’s strap-on and is a pro at it.  You would really think she is getting off by it and perhaps she is.  Once the cock squirts silver glitter and fireworks ensue, the three get it on and Sid fucks Madison with a golf club, which is very cool and has quite a technique.  “I do believe you’re cured”, says Dr. Sid.  Fucking awesome scene!  Very fun, hot and funny!

Scene 3- (Homage to Babylon Pink) with Tina Horn

I never saw Babylon Pink, so can’t refer to it for comparison.  But, this scene was really kind of boring and didn’t seem to have much focus or built-up progression.  It features Tina Horn (who was awesome in Seven Minutes in Heaven).  Here, you can barely hear them over the music, and I never get into it.  The scenario is three gals sitting down to lunch in this weird room that looks like an empty stage.  One is a vegan and is uninterested in the other two women’s discussion about meat.  Turned off I guess is more appropriate.  So she fantasizes about having sex, first as the bottom, then turning the tables and topping the other two.  Like I said, press FF and skip it.

Scene 4- (Homage to the Devil in Miss Jones) with April Flores, Kimberly Kane, Courtney Trouble and Pepper

I didn’t see the original Devil in Miss Jones, but saw 3 & 4 with Amber Lynn and Vanessa Del Rio which was uber hot.  This scene stars April Flores as a lonely woman who commits suicide and then finds herself in purgatory.  I really love the beginning atmosphere of the scene as April stares at herself in the mirror and then runs the bathtub where she will slit her wrist (which is hinted at with red glitter running down the side of the tub and her floating in the bathtub full of blood).  It could have been more alt, edgy horror-show, but was very artistic and April is fantastic.  So, she is transported to purgatory (which is a lot like hell) and the scene becomes more comical.  Kimberly Kane (the Devil’s assistant) meets her at the door to hell and tells her she has a chance to go back if she engages in one of the deadly sins, which she of course picks lust.  Kane then brings April into a room where Courtney and Pepper are making out.  A fuck-fest ensues, but mainly the couples stay together until the end.  Kane and April are seriously hot and I wish the scene wasn’t as cut up as it was, and focused longer on them.  Not that I didn’t get into Courtney and Pepper, I just wanted more of Kane and April.  By the end they are all having sex together in a massive orgy and assume a very cool position with April and Courtney are facing each other as they boink tits and their partners lay under them eating them out.  Great scene!  But give me more April & Kimberly!

nostalgia1 Nostalgia

The END credits are dedicated to Marilyn Chambers and then there is an inserted vignette that goes back to Dr. Sid talking into a recorder about his last patient Madison, as Jiz fucks her from behind.  Dr. Sid talks about discovering a pleasure spot in her throat and calls it the Blakovich spot.  Again, pretty funny and unexpected.  It left me smiling and wanting more, more, more!

This film also has killer glitter-trash tunes featuring The Need, Veronica Lipgloss, TWIN, and Two Ton Boa, and was nominated for an AVN for the music.

Overall, Nostalgia was very good despite the third scene which didn’t cut it and the first which could have been much more edgy.  A great attempt at honoring these classics, which are big shoes to fit into.  I really love that Courtney Trouble is trying to do something radically different with porn and take it into a new, or even retro direction.

bodyOrgans Smartballs Teneo Uno and Duo

On your search for orgasms (and sex toys) one thing that many women and men don’t consider is the health of their PC (Pubococcygeus) Muscle.  But, the PC Muscle is very important to your genital health and in fact, can help you attain better, bigger, more orgasmic orgasms when regularly exercised and maintained.  Here’s why:

For Women-

“PC workouts are very beneficial for all women, regardless of your age, your vagina’s physical condition, or whether or not you have given birth.  Why?  Since the PC muscle also encircles the outside of the vagina, healthy PC muscles will improve sexual arousal, allow you to feel your partner more fully during intercourse and intensify your partner’s pleasure by tightening the vagina cavity, thus enhancing lovemaking for both of you.  And, that’s not all.  Strong PCs allow you to reach orgasm more easily, experience more powerful and pleasurable orgasms, and may even help you achieve multiple orgasms as you learn to better control and respond to your sexual arousal.  Fit PC muscles also improve G-spot stimulation and can help you learn to experience G-spot orgasms and female ejaculation.  Rhythmic squeezing of your PC muscle during intercourse will help increase lubrication, stimulate the clitoris, and massage your partner’s penis to take him to new heights of sexual ecstasy.”–Pop My Cherry Review

For Men-

According to AskMen.com, PC Muscles are largely responsible for controlling “the flow of semen and urine, the firmness of your penis during erection and the shooting power of your ejaculation.”  They also add that doing regular kegels help “to better control your orgasms and ejaculations” which leads to harder, longer lasting erections and more “staying power”.  Some sources even say doing kegels will help sustain good prostate health.

So, for both women and men, doing kegels and maintaining PC health is an exercise ritual which will keep you sexually active and enjoying your orgasms well into old age.

1duo1 Smartballs Teneo Uno and Duo

Introducing the Smartballs Teneo Uno and Duo that I am reviewing for GoodVibes.com.  The Smartballs Teneo Uno and Duo are an updated version of Fun Factory’s original SmartBalls [my review] which are now made from silicone instead of elastomer (which means they are no longer porous).  But, that is not the only difference.  The Uno is a single ball, whereas the Duo is two balls like the original connected by a silicone string, although both are sold separately.  The balls are the same diameter as the originals and have weighted metallic balls that roll around inside as you move. The Duo and Uno are more textured than before and feel slightly bigger because of this as well as heavier.

1uno1 Smartballs Teneo Uno and Duo

The advantage of having two types to choose from is that the Uno would be an ideal starter toy for those of you haven’t done kegels with something inside of them before.  They are much less intimidating than two balls at once.  In fact, a friend of mine was visiting during the holidays and I showed her my sex toy collection including the Uno and Duo.  She is a devote Baptist Christian and has never owned a sex toy in her life.  Anyway, we were talking about PC health and she said she had heard about doing kegels, so I asked her if she wanted to try out the Uno or Duo for keepers.  She was thrilled and picked the Uno (natch!).  She has reported back that the Uno was very easy to use and did greatly enhance her ability to do her kegels as she has something to squeeze around.  She just loves it.

I also think that the Uno would be great for men inserted anally for enhancing their kegels and maintaining good prostate health, although I didn’t have a guy friend to try this out on.  If any men have, please let me know how it went!

The Duo would be great of people who want more of a challenge with their kegels and have a bit more room to play with.  I think these would be more ideally suited for women who are recovering from vaginal births and want to strengthen their PC muscle and vagina, as well as women who suffer from very weak PC muscles or incontinence.  For women with tighter vaginas or a strong PC muscle the Duo may be a bit much.  I personally prefer the Uno over the original Smartballs and the Duo, so I’m glad I have a choice.

My favorite ways to use my Smartballs are:

  • While sitting at my desk.  Gives me a workout without having to move.
  • While doing housework, especially the dishes or vacuuming so the chore is not so mundane.
  • While working out.  I actually enjoy using them when doing my Pilades routine as it gives me an extra sexual workout.
  • While belly dancing.  This is the ultimate way to use your Smartballs as it really gets those balls wiggling and jiggling inside of you.  Be forewarned you might get horny though!
  • Pre-sex stimulation and foreplay.  Have these inside you for an hour or more while anticipating partner sex and you’ll be good to go and pre-stimulated.
  • During clitoral masturbation to stimulate the G-spot.  Doing those kegels with practiced breathing will heighten your orgasms, strengthen your muscles to enjoy G-spot orgasms more and lead to bigger, better orgasms.  Combined with clitoral stimulation will help you achieve combined clitoral and G-spot orgasms.

Ya!  So that’s the Uno and Duo of doing your kegels to maintain good PC health.  Want to have a vagina that can crack a walnut?  Then get over to GoodVibes.com to pick yourself up a Smartballs Teneo Kegel Sex Toy.

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.
