Sex educator Violet Blue's site for sex culture commentary, accurate sex information, erotica and more.

If you’re arriving after hearing/seeing NPR’s All Things Considered on sex and internet history, welcome! You might want to check out this fascinating timeline of sex and the internet, showing in depth a lot more of what we all talked about on the show. You didn’t? Then check out something I worked on for a few weeks, NPR’s Thank Sex For Making The Internet Hot. If you’re a new visitor interested in following my sex column Open Source Sex (mentioned in the feature), my column will no longer appear in the San Francisco Chronicle and will re-appear shortly in another venue. Please stay tuned. Otherwise, enjoy the wonderfully nerdy sexy images in this post by Flash developer Exey Panteleev who had also made video stop-motions of his other (non-erotic) photoshoots here. I’m a big fan: his photos on Flickr even include markup descriptions and tips!

First it was the porn recession. Then it became a porn depression. When the porn trade industry show and awards shrunk a large percentage and moved to a smaller venue this year, we got articles about porn’s financial meltdown — which by all accounts, is also a portrait of an industry that, like newspapers, is dying at its own hand. A director friend was told this year by her studio (a very famous one) that her job required her to attend AVN: it seems the industry is now held together by maintaining appearances. The faithful maintain the crisis is to be blamed on the evils of file sharing. Meanwhile industry outsiders and those making a mint outside AVN’s old porn culture watch grandpa screaming at the kids to get off his lawn — while quietly adapting to online business models and social networking principles.

A lot of it has to do with poor product delivery choices and not diversifying delivery methods: the porn biz is reliant on the DVD. Not good: the DVD was introduced in 1997, and as of 2009 DVD sales in porn were down by 50% from 2004. It seems that a business which is known for over-recycling footage (and starlets) had better hope that polycarbonate is recyclable, lest they end up collecting cans.

I’m feeling disgusted by the seriously slanted anti-porn feature being run in the Washington Post this sunday. And I’m irritated that no one will offer a counterpoint in mainstream media (oh yeah, I was the only one), so I maded you a happy porn post. Don’t believe the porn myths and stereotypes you see in WaPo right now; unsubstantiated claims and sneering at healthy porn use does not make a string case. It’s all they got.

IMHO, we’re just all tired of these loud hysterical buffoons acting as if we’re children. They really think porn destroys relationships — I hate to break it to people who don’t want to face reality, but it’s people who destroy their relationships with their behaviors. Just ask any gaming widow (and be sure to talk to avid gamers who have great relationships, too).

Onward to the porn, please… Every gallery below is free, and quite explicit. Much of it is made by women. All is personally selected. Hope you like!

Met Art beauties: Dominika and Lada; my goodness Ariel A is gorgeous. Cinema Erotique is a UK based woman-run site with all manner of playful fantasy and light kink; here’s video page one and two (I had the pleasure of naming their video, “In Your Face”).

Girl-girl porn, rawr! Lots of video goodies from Sapphic Erotica which could be classified as whatever the opposite of tattooed altporn is: I liked one, two, three and fisty-four.

Moving into altporn and fetish… I’m not sure I like Lexi Belle as a blonde. I’m even less sure about her doing clown porn shoots, but she’s hot, so there you go. Also at women-run Juliland, I found these two sizzling videos of super busty Jada Fire puoring milk on herself, and moisturizing her busts. But whither the altporn fellatio, you say? Why, yes, it’s here.

At French glamour amateur porn site Explicite Arte, I really enjoyed Angell Summers stripping in the studio (video of her with a ginormous toy here), this filthy streets-of-Paris shoot (video here), and Angell Summers shows her love of the shockingly large toys again, here.

Kink has been busy making that high-class ultra kinky porn; Princess Donna’s birthday party on The Upper Floor was off the hook, as we’d expect. That was after she passed Skylar Price around at a local bar like a smiley human sex doll. You won’t believe what one of Donna’s dommes did with a girl on the streets of an undisclosed European town. The Sapphic girls were nice to each other… The Kink girls are not. On Whipped Ass, this intense domination scene caught my eye, as did this forced orgasm punishment coupling. Lastly, something tells me the last thing one wants to be is the guy caught stealing panties at The Armory.

I tweeted this video last night, but it’s too amazing to only share there. My dear friend Mojo sent me this video last week when I was sad about pulling my column from the Chron. It will live again elsewhere when I decide on a good home (besides me, many people are missing it and readers are saying they’ll follow it wherever it goes). As for this video, you should only be worried if a) your head is a watermelon and b) this woman is in charge of the fruit salad at your wedding.

In what my friend The Sexademic calls “an interesting move for the private sector” we now have STD Test Express, a fully private STD testing website. I pinged her before posting because Sexademic has been exploring more ‘open source’ options for STD tests lately, and we just took an STD/STI update class where it was reinforced that testing isn’t always there when you need it. For instance, you pretty much can’t get tested for Herpes in San Francisco right now unless you’ve had known exposure; the test is just too expensive and lots of people have it in some variation… I found this site from their enjoyable blog, notably a recent post about their recent survey where they found that “1 in 3 people will still have sex with someone who refuses to get an STD test…even after being asked to get tested…even though they know ‘they shouldn’t.’” I also liked their post about Ozzy Osbourne’s Russian Roulette with sex. It’s just like ChatRoulette and Jon Stewart’s succinct description that it’s “five chambers” of cock.
