From the monthly archives:
This delightful video by Chris Sanders for Wodka Vodka is currently making the social media rounds, in the way that great things have second and third lives when scores of new people discover them. In fact, the video is from May 2012 – but it will never really get old. More like this, please!

“As an artist I am supposed to push the boundaries, ask questions, inspire the audience and introduce different ethnicities and in a whole new way. I think my films are artistic because I use sound, mood, atmosphere, lighting, wardrobe and talent to tell the story — not just body parts or sex scenes. My creative intent is never solely sexual. There are other things happening besides sex that make my films interesting.
The adult industry is like my Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Can. It’s a business and an industry and I was able to make my films, break down barriers, and show things have that have not been shown before.”
[Carlos Batts, Blisstree Interview: Feminist Porn Puts Women In The Spotlight]
“Art is the strongest form of activism. Art encompasses everything. It encompasses the queer movement, fat activism, racism, all the “isms” – that’s our job.”
[Carlos Batts, The Rumpus Interview with April Flores and Carlos Batts]
Carlos Batts died on Tues. Oct. 22, leaving a whole community shocked and saddened. His widow should not need to face huge hospital and funeral expenses alone.
Please help by donating to the Carlos Batts Memorial Fund. Everything counts, and no donation is too small. Donations can be made to PayPal and via email using the address [email protected]
Carlos will be memorialized, honored, celebrated and remembered with two memorial services that are open to the public. Both are at Forest Lawn, Glendale, 1712 S. Glendale Ave, Glendale CA 91205.
Readers of this blog and friends will remember Carlos Batts as one of the top erotic photographers, the maker of fun and glossy art house porn films – and most especially as the husband of April Flores. A prolific artist in many genres, he trailblazed, and touched many. He was also a friend who always made me feel included. I will miss him, too.

If you haven’t yet been introduced to the work of Four Chambered Heart (Four Chambers), then you’re in for a treat. This is porn unlike any other. If you’re like me and already a fan, you’ll love these two recent short teaser videos. What is really remarkable about these teasers – aside from the chemistry, filthiness and superb cinematography – is the fact that both videos would not violate most adult content prohibitions (which is a topic necessary to explore when ‘no porn’ is invoked to censor content*). The videos in this post are technically SFW.
This is one of the ways indie porn looks in the Internet era. This is not ‘mainstream’ porn, it is not part of the porn industry, and it is important – and not alone. This is part of the actual, wider world of porn; it is ignored by both the mainstream porn industry and anti-porn pundits alike. And it is awesome.
In Proximity: Owen and Vex (teaser; above) a very sexy couple fucks each other so hotly it’s impossible not to get a little turned on – while feeling both inspired and envious. The video in this post is a teaser, and you can see the full version by donating to the indie porn innovators at Four Chambered Heart here.
Proximity features Owen Gray and Vex Ashley, and the music is by Sorrows – ‘Paramount’ – from their Art Is Dead E.P.
In Exchange: Kim and Vex (teaser; below), two beautiful girls exchange a fluid. It’s ridiculously hot.
Exchange features Kim Lucille and Vex, with the song About You by XXYYXX.

* One of my goals is to someday establish the difference between ‘content that is inappropriate for some viewers’ and ‘things the person or people in power simply doesn’t like.’ This would help eliminate many kinds of discrimination.
