If you have ever had a scene that lured you with the promise of edgy intensity, but wondered if you could handle the situation before, during or afterward, this discussion is for you! We will explore the reasons some people enjoy play that is VERY edgy psychologically, emotionally and physically, and how you can go about making that fantasy a reality. Inherent in this discussion is the level of responsibility of both / all partners, how to manage risk, and how you can support your partner in the aftermath. Edgy play can be hot, and we will look at ways to avoid some common pitfalls, as well as how to recover with grace and honor when things go off of the planned path.

*Please be advised: Some highly controversial scenes (i.e. racial or incest play, weaponry, etc.) will be discussed. Please do not attend if these are outside of your comfort zone.

Nostalgia (2009)
Studio- Reel Queer Productions / Good Releasing
Director- Courtney Trouble
Cast- April Flores, Kimberly Kane, Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Madison Young, Trouble, Pepper Sox, Sealu Sideshow, Destiny Prince, Selena Raven, Tina Horn, Kimberlee Cline, Carson, Sadie Lune, and Carol Queen

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!

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.

Crash Pad Series- Volume 5- The Revolving Door
Director- Shine Louise Houston
Studio- Blowfish Video/ Pink & White
Cast- August, Stacy Staxxx, Rex, Scarlett Chaos, Red, Cyd Loverboy, Kuma, Julie Warren, Shawn, Mickey Mod

Crash Pad Series, Volume 5: The Revolving Door is the kinkiest of the Crash Pad series so far and features lots of plays of dominance, submissive power struggles, switching and hardcore sex.  The cast consists of hot gender-fucking freaks, femmes-dykes, alt-queers, bois, butches, a trans-man and even a surprise ending between Crash Pad crush Shawn (Syd Blakovich) and a bio-guy.  With five scenes, various top/bottom scenarios, diverse body-types and looks, there is plenty of hot queer kinky porn for everyone.

Scene 1- August and Stacy Staxxx

Its August’s birthday and Stacy Staxxx throws her a hot party, with herself as the gift.  Stacy is a stacked, hot, alt-nymphet and August is a cute alt-dyke, both with nice tats.  Stacy begins by dripping birthday candle wax on August, and then ties her wrists to the bed.  Stacy then fucks herself on August’s faux cock.  The pair switch positions and August takes control, binding Stacy wrists, and then fingering her.  They end with August fucking Stacy doggie-style until she whimpers and moans in orgasm. Sexy!

Scene 2- Rex and Scarlett Chaos

Rex and Scarlett Chaos (aka Essin’ Em) meet up for some femme/dyke action.  Scarlett is bodacious and a Rex is very cute boi-dyke.  They make a good pair together and the scene has a lot of playful chemistry.  We start out with some spanking and some very passionate necking, and then Scarlett gets naughty and struggles a bit for dominance.  She’s what I call a SAM (smart-assed Masochist), who likes to be a saucy bottom.  But, Rex won’t have any of that and cuffs her to the bed post.  Rex uses a pinwheel on her, and then starts to finger her.  Scarlett pleads, “Please fuck me,” which Rex does hardcore and gives her a screaming orgasm that breaks the sound barrier. Scarlett reciprocates by giving Rex’s strap-on dick a wicked blowjob (something she does quite well).  Rex fucks her until she screams again, making for a hot, playful scene!

Scene 3- Red and Cyd Loverboy

Red’s a hot alt-femme-boi with killer tits and tats, and Cyd’s a playful butch-boi.  Cyd is the obvious bottom but likes a good struggle.  It doesn’t take long for Red to put her in her place though as she slaps her face, makes her suck cock, degrades her and calls her pain-slut and faggot.  There’s some chest punching, ass spanking, bondage, gagging, and all around rough play.  However, the scene remains pretty playful.  Red ass fingers Cyd, and then fucks her.  Later Cyd eats Red out and fingers her until she comes.  Then Cyd gets fingered and bites her hand as she orgasms.  Great chemistry!

Scene 4- Kuma and Julie Warren

Kuma and Julie appear to be a couple, or at least frequent play partners.  Kuma is a bald, bearded trans-guy leather daddy with lots of tattoos including a cool back piece.  Julie is a voluptuous bottom and Daddy’s good little girl. Kuma’s quite a loving sadist and amazingly skilled at percussion.  He wields two-fisted floggers on Julie’s back then her breasts.  Then it’s on to the nasty canes that leave nice red stripes on Julie’s thighs.  Julie then gets to suck Kumo’s cock for being “such a good girl” and is later fucked and fisted, until she asks permission to come.  Yes sir, thank you sir!

Scene 5- Shawn and Mickey Mod

For many films I don’t like to read about them, or even read the covers before I watch them, as it takes away some of the freshness and element of surprise.  Well, I was surprised when I saw this obvious bio-guy sitting waiting on a bed waiting for someone to arrive.  And, who walks in?  Crash Pad boi-crush Shawn (aka Syd Blakovich).  I’m floored and wonder how this is going to play out.  Mickey immediately takes the bottom role and starts sucking Shawn’s cock.  So, I think maybe this scene has a chance.  Then Mickey fingers Shawn while she sucks his bio-dick, and they make-out all sweaty and hot, and finally Shawn squirts in Mickey’s face as he comes.  Pretty feverish scene, and like Shawn says during the credits “if someone’s attractive, they’re attractive, and gender isn’t something you see with your eyes anyway.”  So while I was surprised to see Shawn with a guy, the scene works and is definitely hot.

There wasn’t one scene in the film that didn’t interest or excite me in some way.  I loved all the kinky exploration and playful S/m.  All the scenes had a nice build-up of momentum and chemistry between the players.  I especially loved the diverse array of bodies and shifting genders.  I hope Houston keeps adding more queer kink, interesting characters and maybe adds in an orgy scene at the Crash Pad someday soon.

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.”

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” 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.

Sugar High Glitter City (2001)
Studio: SIR Productions
Director: Jackie Strano, Shar Rednour
Cast: Shar Rednour, Jackie Stran, and many others not on credits.

Nominated by AVN:
Best Soundtrack
Best All-Girl Feature
Best All-Girl Sex Scene

I love reviewing porn for Babeland, because they always have the most interesting, unique and sexy films. This week’s review is Sugar High Glitter City, by Sir Video.

Sugar High Glitter City is set in a retro-dystopia where sugar and candy is outlawed and addicted candy ‘hos have to sell their bodies to feed their sweet obsession.  Of course, the cops are just as bad as the prostitutes and pimps, keeping the girls in supply for special tricks and treats.

The film features all dyke hardcore porn with an array of sweet candy-colored glitter dildos, saccharine pussy eating, and finger-licking good fisting sex.  The mise-en-scene is retro reminiscent of 70s sexploitation films with glitter make-up and strange spandex costuming, a Puss Puss Glitter Palace whorehouse, mean graffiti streets, and disco balls.

The sex is authentic dyke porn, but I had a hard time getting into some of it because of the poor lighting in several scenes.  But, you do get a lot of different scenes, various body types and genders including lipstick lesbians, dykes and gender-bending bois.  This film had great potential, but fell short of my expectations, mainly because the camera and lighting was rather shoddy.

Like Comstock’s other films, “Ashley and Kisha” showcases an intimate relationship between two lovers, whose story is tender and unique.  Ashley and Kisha are two young women who met in college and became lovers.  Ashley is an out-and-proud lesbian, while Kisha considered herself “straight” and not interested in women, until she met Ashley.  During their interview, the women talk about how Kisha initially rebuffed Ashley’s “animal instinct” advances until she tried more “subtler” methods, “easing her way in” to Kisha’s consciousness until Kisha could no longer resist.

The two are a study in contrasts:  Kisha is very conservative, soft and voluptuous; Ashley out-spoken, confident and rebellious with a lean, athletic body.   Ashley takes control in the bedroom, awakening Kisha’s body to a rediscovery of pleasure, a pleasure that only another woman can know.  Both women admit that sex together is the best they ever had.

Their story is sweet and amorous, their lovemaking playful, sensual and erotic.  “Ashley and Kisha” is delightful film about the rhapsody of young love between two women and their journey of new sexual discovery.

Ashley and Kisha: Finding The Right Fit (Real People, Real Life, Real Sex series)

Hard Love and How To Fuck In High Heels (2000)
Studio: S.I.R. Video / Fatale Media
Directors: Jackie Strano, Shar Rednour
Cast: C.C. Belle, Chester Drawers, Edrie, Jamie Ben-Azay, Nicole Katler, Veronica Savage, and Shar Rednour.

“Hard Love and How To Fuck In High Heels” is a double feature written, directed and produced by Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano, a lesbian couple from San Francisco who are actively involved in the sex industry through video production and spoken word performances.  This film was the first lesbian-produced porn to be recognized by mainstream porn and receive an award from AVN for “Best All-Girl Feature”.

“Hard Love” follows Jackie Strano, a butch dyke who is one half of a recently separately lesbian couple and her ex-lover, the seductive C.C. Bell.  The two wash away their sorrows by having raunchy sex with other women, but are still drawn to each other and end up having make-up / break-up sex together.  The sex is raw and authentic as the butches strap-on their dyke dicks featuring heady groping, sucking, fucking, anal sex and fisting.  While the argument scene has overly dramatic performances, the dykes are handsome as fuck and the femmes so sweet I could eat their brains (and pussies) like jam.

“How to Fuck in High Heels” is a mock behind-the-scenes performance piece, in which Shar Rednour recites her sound art on stage. This stage scene flashes back and forth as she demonstrates with “exceptional grace, skill and style” just how to fuck other sexy femmes in her many pairs of platforms, stilettos and come-fuck-me shoes.  Some seriously hot scenes ensue, packed full of hardcore lesbian action that is as real as lust can get.

If you love real dykes and femmes having genuine sex on film, you will love this film.  It is a great addition to my other much-loved lesbian films by Pink and White Productions, Bleu Productions and Blowfish Videos.  I look forward to seeing more of S.I.R. Video in the future.  Rock on!

You can get “Hard Love and How To Fuck In High Heels” at Babeland along with many other hot lesbian DVDs.

Crash Pad Series Volume 4
Director: Shine Louise Houston
Studi0: Pink and White / Blowfish Video
Cast: Brooklyn Flaco, Carson, Jiz Lee, Dallas, Sadie Lune, Tricksie Treat, Stella, Ex, Muscle Beach

Thank you to Blowfish.com for sending me the latest in Pink and White Production’s “Crash Pad Series Volume 4“.  If you’ve read my other reviews of Pink and White films and the Crash Pad series (Champion, Unlocked, Crash Pad Series, Volume 1 and Superfreak), you will know that I love/lust these films.  Each film is different and offers something unique and diverse, which to me is what independent porn is all about.  Sure, if you have a great formula (and Pink & White does) serve it up again and again, but it is always cool to try something a bit different too and throw that into the mix.

What’s different about Volume 4?  Well, there’s a lot more Top/bottom D/s play in this film, more so that the others, which is super fucking hot.  I love girls/bois/femmes/dykes getting it on hardcore and real, but I especially love it when a bit of domination is thrown in for good measure.  It creates a whole new dynamic in the sex, which for me makes it sizzle.  And, look forward to some new faces in this film as well!

Here’s the Scene-by-Scene Play

Scene 1- Brooklyn Flaco and Carson

Okay.  I loved Carson in Lesbian Life – Real Sex San Francisco by Madison Young, and she is really hot here too.  Both Carson and Brooklyn are boyishly femme, although Carson much more femme.  Brooklyn has amazing tattoos including a wicked back piece.  Both are slender built, although Carson much more curvy.  I loved Brooklyn’s cute superhero undies too.  The sex, well was a bit, subdued.  I like a lot of enthusiasm in a sex scene that is auditory, ie: moans, fuck-me-harder, screaming, what-have-you, as long as it is real.  This scene was pretty quiet, so I couldn’t get into it as much as I would have liked.  The sex is pretty ordinary as well, just hands and fisting, no oral or toys, so I would have liked to see a bit more diverse play between them.  Not a bad scene, just didn’t sizzle.

Scene 2- Jiz Lee and Dallas

Jiz Lee is always amazing and such a pro.  I love Dallas too, and she was really hot with Syd Blakovich in Champion.  Both are boyish, slender, gender-bending dykes.  I guess Dallas was having a hard time being topped in this scene and was feeling the pressure to orgasm, so switched it around and topped Jiz.  This is totally cool, because for me the dynamics seem to fit better with Jiz who is more naturally submissive.  The two wrestle around a lot, but Dallas takes the lead and fists Jiz to a squirting orgasm which is one of Jiz’s amazing talents.  Pretty hot scene overall.

Scene 3- Sadie Lune and Tricksie Treat

Sadie and Tricksie are new to the Crash Pad.  Sadie plays the Top and Tricksie the bottom.  The scene starts a bit awkward as they “role play” with Tricksie playing the bottom who doesn’t want to be punished.  Lots of talk going on in the scene, but it takes a while to heat up.  About mid-way, they forget the “play” and the sex becomes more real, so it does get pretty good by the end.  Tricksie rides Sadie’s cock, straddling her hips and gives herself a huge orgasm with the help of a Hitachi.  The orgasm is pretty powerful and very real.  I like the end where Sadie brings Tricksie back down to earth by kind-of grounding her, then a great after-care cuddle session.  Not bad for a first time porn scene together.

Scene 4- Cash and Stella

Cash is very butch and Stella is rather femme.  They seem to be real lovers (in the after scene interview I get this impression).  They both switch it up giving and taking it in turns.  It was really cool seeing Cash get fisted, being the butch and all, and having a wicked on-screen orgasm.  I am so used to butch’s playing top all the time so this was an interesting perspective and seemed very vulnerable.  Stella is pretty cute, but sure talks a lot during sex.  She uses positive affirmations quite a bit, which is cool, but a bit distracting as well.  She has a pretty good orgasm at the end, compliments of Cash.

Scene 5- Ex and Muscle Beach

Saving the best for last!  This is the scene on the cover of Volume 4 and is really fucking amazing.  It is so different than anything I’ve seen so far: so fun and natural.  Ex is a nasty femme Daddy bitch Top.  However, as nasty as she gets, she is totally playful, fun and laughing the whole way.  Her enthusiasm and pleasure is contagious.  Muscle Beach—okay, super drool factor here.  A boi with a Daddy fetish and love for nasty pain mixed pleasure.  MB is late and needs to be punished.  She thinks of a couple lame excuses before coming clean and telling the truth.  Although they are long-time lovers, their play comes across as spontaneous and unscripted.  Ex is very savvy as a Top and experienced, with a hell of a confident vibrato.  MB is submissive, but also a bit bratty, so definitely deserving of her whacks.  Features excellent rope-play, spanking, pounding, nipple torture, humiliation, outstanding scene dynamics and is so fun and playful, it will leave you laughing.  It will also surprise you as well.  This is their first scene together in a porn film and I really hope they do more.  Fantastic scene!

Okay.  So that’s the scoop on the new “Crash Pad Series Volume 4“.  New faces (and hot bodies) with a mix of some D/s.  Lots of fun and something for everyone.  Check it out and all the Crash Pad Series Films at Blowfish.com!

Champion
Director: Shine Louise Houston
Studio: Pink and White / Blowfish Video
Cast: Syd Blakovich, Dallas, Jiz Lee, Dylan Ryan, Madison Young, Javier, Brooklyn Flaco (non-sex), Trouble Royale (non-sex)

Champion-the latest release from Pink and White productions and Blowfish video-is Shine Louise Houston’s most ambitious, sophisticated film to date.  Houston has taken real lesbian porn to the next level with this feature-length dramatic narrative featuring an engaging plot, excellent acting and dialogue by its cast (most notably Syd Blakovich aka Shawn), with all the authentic hot queer sex that her films are renowned for.

Syd Blakovich plays mixed martial artist Jessie Eaton who is blackmailed by nemesis Bobby Malone (Javier) into loosing the fight of her career.  Jessie’s manager Tiny (played by Dylan Ryan) tries her best to make Jessie conform to a straight-laced girly persona, by forcing her conceal her boyish good looks in short skirts and glitter make-up.  Rumor has it that Jessie is in fact a rakish dyke and lover of women who fucks just as well as she fights.  But, if her corporate sponsors find out, Jessie’s career is finished.  To make matters worse, Jessie is in lust with her rival opponent Violet Vahn (Dallas) who promises to give Jessie the fight (and possibly fuck) of her life, if she doesn’t wimp-out and throw the fight.  With so much hanging in the balance, what’s a poor dyke to do?

The film features some authentic fight scenes featuring Syd (Jessie) who is a featured champion on Kink.com’s Ultimate Surrender as Syd Blakovich.  Jessie is super buff and hot as she throws herself into her training, doing push-ups and sit-ups and drinking tones of sports drinks to keep up her stamina in both the ring and the bedroom.  And, believe me, she needs all the stamina she can get with countless lesbian lovers who demand her skillful sexual prowess.

First to fall victim to her magic touch is lovely Madison Young.  Madison is always hot and uninhibited, and Jessie is a compelling adversary as she aggressively tops Madison into submission.   With the usual weapons: tongue, hands, fingers and a sexy strap-on; Jessie plays Madison like a finely tuned instrument, compelling symphonic squeals and groans from her as she quivers with wild abandon.  At moments Madison’s pleasure seems close to agony it is so intense.  This scene sizzles with raw energy and irresistible chemistry to produce the one of hottest lesbian sex scenes ever.  Syd and Madison rock it and are sure to get some shiny butt plug awards for their efforts.

Next up is Syd’s real-life lover Jiz Lee as on-screen ex-girlfriend Cathy Summers who is sick of playing the back-up go-to girl when Jessie’s other fuck dates fall through.  In the midst of Jessie’s skillful manipulations, Cathy can’t help but fall under her enigmatic spell.  This scene moves to the tempo of a tribal drum and builds to a crescendo as Cathy is double-fisted and experiences a beautiful, tear-wrenching orgasm.  This is certainly one of the couple’s best onscreen performances to date, which isn’t an easy choice as they are always fantastic together.

But, Jessie isn’t the only one having all the fun.  Looks like her manager Tiny has betrayed her for her nemesis Bobby as the two sport strap-ons in the back of a van and fuck each other silly.  The scene is intercut between Jessie watching play-backs of her fights as she contemplates throwing the upcoming match, and the action between Tiny and Bobby.  The juxtaposition of the scenes draws a correlation between fucking and fighting, both as a savage passionate dance.

In the final sex scene, Jessie meets her match with sexy challenger Violet, who shows she can rival her skills as a fighter and a lover.  I really loved Dallas (Violet) in the last Crash Pad film by Houston, and she is amazing here as she takes control of Jessie and teaches her a few things about the pleasures of surrender.  In the end, Jessie learns it doesn’t matter whether you win or loose, as long as you get the girl.

Champion is by far Houston’s best work to date.  It is much more refined in terms of cinematography-under the skill of Mr. Pam-who uses a selective depth-of-field focus that makes the movie more filmatic.  The story, action and dialogue are excellent and there is seamless integration between the narrative and the sex.  As with all of Houston’s films, the sex is authentic, passionate and intense, with skillful editing that makes you believe you are watching it uncut in real-time.  Champion could be Houston’s “magnum opus” if it were not for all the other great future films she is sure to bring us.  One thing is for certain, Houston’s films are only getting bigger and better each time.

“Crash Pad Series, Volume 2: Unlocked” returns to the secret apartment that started it all, and this time unlocks the door to new clandestine encounters between queer gender-bending dykes for some hot fucking, pussy banging action.

It includes scenes with performers from other Pink and White productions: real-life lovers Jiz Lee and Shawn with a new playmate Micah; Johnny (Crash Pad Vol. 1: see my review) with Legs; and Jake (Superfreak: see my review) with newcomer Wilder.  Jake is just as hot as in Superfreak and this scene with Wilder will rock your jock-straps as these bois bang each other, call each other faggots and masturbate their silicone cocks.  Johnny and Legs are two femmes who get it on with some fairly authentic fisting and strap-on play.  Jiz and Shawn never get to reach their usual height of sizzling action with Micah, who submits silently to their whim.

The highlights of this film are the scenes between Dallas and Vai, and Michelle Aston and Julie.  Vai is a cute pixyish dyke who goes to study at the crash pad.  She has an excellent solo sex scene, and then Dallas enters and gets her squirting fountains of come.  Their sex is playful, giggling, fun and super wet.  Study sex at its best.

Alt-porn star Michelle Aston—recognizable in her Mohawk and half-body tattoo—is the bomb in her scene with submissive Julie.  She makes poor Julie squirm with ecstasy as she works her over in some of the hottest rough lesbian action ever to grace the screen.  At least my TV screen that is.  I love how Michelle talks dirty and dominates Julie all scene while Julie can only moan, come and beg her not to stop.

It’s hard to compete with Crash Pad Vol. 1 for authentic performances, raw intensity and the chemistry between the players.  However, Unlocked continues to push the boundaries and exceed expectations of porn for pussies by featuring some wicked hardcore, real lesbian action that is sure to make you cream your jeans or give your dildo a woody.  Get in while the door is still unlocked, as they are sure to throw away the key.

Ever heard of something called Dada?”

Rachel Maddow is trying to make an analogy. It’s mid-October, two weeks before the election, and the MSNBC host is comparing the McCain campaign’s recent fixation on “Joe the Plumber” to the anti-bourgeois cultural movement of the early-twentieth century. But this is prime time, and Maddow first has to define Dadaism in as colloquial a way as possible. This is something of a challenge considering she only has about twelve seconds.

“Deliberately being irrational, rejecting standard assumptions about beauty or organization or logic,” she begins. “It’s an anti-aesthetic statement about the lameness of the status quo … kind of?” She twists her face into a cartoon grimace that morphs into a wide smile. “Why am I trying to explain Dadaism on a cable news show thirteen days from this big, giant, historic, crazy, important election that we’re about to have?” she asks with a self-deprecating laugh, as she recognizes the Dadaishness of her own quest. “Because that’s what I found myself Googling today, in search of a way to make sense of the latest McCain-Palin campaign ad!”

It’s hard to imagine many other cable news hosts going down that particular rabbit hole. (Can you picture Glenn Beck referring to the existentialists to make a point?) But then again, Rachel Maddow is not like other cable news hosts. A self-described butch lesbian with short hair and black-rimmed glasses, off-camera she resembles a young Ira Glass more than the helmet-headed anchoresses and Fox fembots who populate television news. Doing the press rounds when MSNBC first announced her show in August, she’d show up to interviews looking like, she says, “a 14-year-old boy” in puffy Samantha Ronson sneakers with iPod headphones dangling from her ears—but then she’d easily segue into an informed foreign- policy or economic discussion that ended with a Daily Show–worthy punch line. Her résumé is similarly unexpected: A Rhodes scholar and an Oxford Ph.D., she’s done stints as an AIDS activist, barista, landscaper, Air America host, and mascot in an inflatable calculator suit. She’s a civics geek who reads comic books, goes to monster-truck rallies, likes to fish, calls herself an “amateur mixologist” of classic cocktails, and even Twitters.

Del Martin, co-founder of the first national lesbian-rights organization in the United States, died Aug. 27 at age 87. We remember her with an excerpt from a Fresh Air interview that first aired on Dec. 29, 1992. (You can hear the complete conversation using the link at left.)

Martin and her partner Phyllis Lyon founded the Daughters of Bilitis in the conformist ’50s, long before the Stonewall riots of 1969 brought the gay civil rights movement into the spotlight.

Shortly after that, Martin and Lyon began publishing The Ladder, the first national publication aimed at a lesbian audience. Their landmark book, Lesbian/Woman, was published in 1972; they were among the first inductees in the LGBT Journalists Hall of Fame, established in 2005 by the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.

Martin and Lyon, whose relationship spanned six decades, were married June 16 at San Francisco’s city hall — the first same-sex couple to be united in that city under California’s new marriage law.

Lesbian rights pioneer Del Martin, whose trailblazing activism spanned more than five decades, most recently in the battle for same-sex marriage, died Wednesday, just two months after she made history again by wedding her longtime partner in San Francisco City Hall.

Ms. Martin, an author and organizer, died at UCSF Hospice after a long period of declining health. She was 87 and was admitted to the hospital nearly two weeks ago with a broken arm.

Ms. Martin’s crusading began in 1955, during an era in America known more for social conformity than for rebellion, when she co-founded a lesbian social-turned-political organization, Daughters of Bilitis, named after a 19th century book of lesbian love poetry.

This year, on June 16, she and her partner of 55 years, Phyllis Lyon, were legally wed. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom officiated. Theirs was among the first same-sex nuptials in California.

Marking the 14th anniversary of legislation that allowed gay men and lesbians to serve in the military but only if they kept their orientation secret, 28 retired generals and admirals plan to release a letter on Friday urging Congress to repeal the law.

“We respectfully urge Congress to repeal the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy,” the letter says. “Those of us signing this letter have dedicated our lives to defending the rights of our citizens to believe whatever they wish.”

The retired officers offer data showing that 65,000 gay men and lesbians now serve in the American armed forces and that there are more than one million gay veterans.

“They have served our nation honorably,” the letter states.

The letter’s release comes as rallies are scheduled on the Mall by groups calling for a change in the law, which is known as “don’t ask, don’t tell” because it bars the military from investigating soldiers’ sexual orientation if they keep it to themselves.

Although the signers of the letter are high-ranking, none are of the stature of General John Shalikashvili, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when the policy was adopted and who now argues for its repeal. Shalikashvili refocused attention on the issue earlier this year when he wrote that conversations with military personnel had prompted him to change his position.

The current generation of Americans entering the armed services have proved to him “that gays and lesbians can be accepted by their peers,” the general wrote in an Op-Ed article published in The New York Times on Jan. 2.

“I now believe that if gay men and lesbians served openly in the United States military, they would not undermine the efficacy of the armed forces,” Shalikashvili wrote. “Our military has been stretched thin by our deployments in the Middle East, and we must welcome the service of any American who is willing and able to do the job.”

Few issues have split the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates this year as clearly as whether to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
