Tuesday Nibbles: Feminst Porn Award Nominations 2011, Sexual Etiquette in Islam, Danish Pussy-O-Mat, Big Porn Reacts to Cindy Gallop

Fascinating read: female President of porn empire Pink Visual (Allison Vivas) reads Cindy Gallop’s “Make Love Not Porn” TED book and blogs her surprising reactions in Porn World Vs. The Real World (XBIZ.com)

So much hot feminist porn, and so little time! The nominees for the 2011 Feminist Porn Awards are in, and lots of people we love are on the lists: FPA 2011 Nominees (Good For Her)

In China, a mass of arrests centering on the shutdown of a gay erotica website, where most of the short-story authors were women, making about $15 a story: Women in gay porn crackdown (english.eastday.com)

In Denmark right now women are lining up to have pictures taken of their vulvas to depict diversity – Kvinfo has set up a so-called ‘kussomat’ (Eng: pussy-o-mat) in Copenhagen – and I think that is one well-lit chair: Webmagasinet Forum – Kulturzonen – En Kusso-hvaffor-noget? (kvinfo.dk – Danish Centre for Information on Gender, Equality and Ethnicity, thanks Laust!)

Fantastic video in support of Planned Parenthood caused outrage, of course, because only “adults” should be having sex – I loved this video and you will too: “I Have Sex” — students speak out against ideological attack on Planned Parenthood (YouTube, thanks John!)

Remarkable look at the sexual guidelines of a culture I know very little about: Sexual Etiquette in Islam (noorislam.net, thanks A!)

I don’t always enjoy these “diaries” but this one was a more compelling read than the usual “guy who fucked 40 women in a weekend” formula: The Married Mom Cooking Dinner to Seduce Her Husband (Daily Intel, nymag.com, via Rachel Kramer Bussel)

Justifiably prickly reaction to the NYT’s recent article about women who have same-sex relationships in college and the class issues surrounding this pehnom: Sex Outside the Ivory Tower (chronicle.com)

Check out Oberlin College’s response to the Wesleyan’s “I have sex” video. It stands in support & was produced by the college’s AWESOME Sexual Information Center, an organization that’s been providing the campus and surrounding community with easy access to information and cheap safer sex suppleies.
