January 2011

I’ve held off on posting about YouPorn’s foray into 3D red-cyan glasses porn (Anaglyph – or amber-blue for purists) – only because YouPorn a) did not have enough videos for me to send you there for a decent post, and b) they violate my sensibilities by not allowing me to embed a video player in the spirit of sharing/common currency of media transference of the modern internet.

But hey, it’s worth a look if you have the glasses. I have high hopes that they will develop this category, especially to facilitate user-uploaded submissions, and of course, to enable embeds of explicit 3D porn videos. Also that the porn will be hot. At least the nice thing about glasses is that we are always “hands-free”.

UPDATE: The reading was packed! Thanks to everyone who joined us, so many warm and wonderful people. I was even asked to autograph an iPad! A video of tonight’s reading is ready for viewing in this post after the jump below (or watch it here): my segment – a filthy biochemistry BDSM tale by Thomas Roche – begins at 4:10. See this adorable photo gallery of Rachel, me, readers and more from tonight on this Daily Violet post, shot with my Lumix.

/UPDATE

Tonight (starting at 7:30 PST) I’ll be in the Orgsamic reading at the Booksmith in Upper Haight here in San Francisco – it’s a release party for my good friend Rachel Kramer Bussel‘s hot new book! She bribed me with cupcakes and lipgloss to read with her (she didn’t need to!) and we will be joined by three skilled erotica writers whose names you probably recognize – Orgasmic contributors Donna George Storey, Susie Hara and Dusty Horn. Here is the FB event page, if you swing that way.

If you can’t join us in person, The Booksmith will be livestreaming the event on this channel (video autoplays when you click the URL, FYI). Thank you Booksmith for hosting, and thank you Rachel for putting this event together and bringing the cupcakes :)

I won’t be reading what anyone expects. I’ve embedded the livestream player after the jump, in case you click through here when we’re reading. I’ll do an update with the archived video when we’re done! An embed of tonight’s reading is ready for viewing… My segment begins at 4:10.

I’ve been calling 2011 “year of the queer” since December – part of that had to do with finding out that queer feminist porn/erotica magazine Salacious, was going to launch on January 1, 2011. And what an amazing first issue. Their blog is great.

Filament has a fantastic and very informative review on the first Salacious Magazine here – you’ll see why I’m an enthusiast and think this is a great enterprise, worthy of wanking and support. I asked Salacious if I could show you some large excerpts from this month’s magazine and they were kind enough to send me the files I wanted! Check out a few dirtysexy queer excerpts after the jump. And the reason I’m posting this today is that if you’re in the SF Bay Area tonight, Salacious is having a massive launch party featuring some kind of “Iron Slut” sex educator face off with Madison Young… I don’t know what that means but it sounds cool. It’s in Oakland, but I’ll be in SF tonight livestreaming with Rachel (conflict!) and I’ll post more about that in a bit.
