I wanted to give Pandora Blake Dreams of Spanking a little love this week. Ms. Blake is in a predicament thanks to an adult website payment processor that can’t be bothered to update its definitions of both modern pornography and consensual sex. Adult payment processor CCBill told the female pornographer (and performer) that her website was now un-approved because it, upon a review triggered by her own update of records, runs afoul of CCBill’s content guidelines.

Wow, you’re thinking. Those must be some *extreme* spankings.

Er, no. They are sexy, playful, entirely consensual, fair-trade, highly creative, kinky, focused on the female experience, frequently male submissive, sometimes about deep personal journeys, they are about a 3 on the scale of zero to Kink.com, and – importantly – they are wholly nerdy spankings.

However, CCBill told her that things need to change if her little indie pornsite would still qualify for payment processing. Along with telling her the word “consent” needs to be removed from all pages on the site:

Short version: they said I needed to remove all the age play scenes, all the sword-fighting scenes, all scenes showing red/purple marks, and any use of the word “force”. This amounted to a lot of content. Never mind that none of this was picked up on in their review last week, and their requirements are repeatedly arbitrary and inconsistent. Never mind that it means taking content offline that members have already paid for [via CCBill]. It all needed to go.

I am furious that after all my efforts to create a site that shows the enthusiastic consent and ethical production behind the porn I make as clearly, accessibly and transparently as possible, I am still being fucked over. This has nothing to do with the UK extreme porn legislation, and little to do with Visa’s requirements – far more severe sites accept credit cards perfectly happily.

(…) Ludwig and Kaelah’s severe caning scene “The Final Test”. The majority of this caning was deemed too physically severe – despite the fact that the film was an exercise in representing positive, consensual severity, with a sensitive storyline focused on the empowerment of Kaelah’s character, and two extended behind the scenes documentaries including interviews with Kaelah and showing the way the scene was filmed. I was given the option of hacking the film up to remove most of the cane strokes and deleting over half of the screengrabs, but I have no desire to mutilate a film into which Kaelah poured so much energy and creativity. It’s been deleted from Dreams of Spanking in its entirety.

The two scenes which included a sword fight or duel as part of the set-up for the spanking scene both needed similarly gutting. Any images or video sequences in which a sword was pointed directly at a model were forbidden. Even though in our comedic nautical romp ‘The Pirates of the Jolly Kraken’, the swords in question were rubber LARP swords.

Likewise the wooden bokken in ‘The Avenger’s Return’, and Amelia’s fencing foil with its capped end. They both counted. It all had to go. (…read more, with photos, darker-dreams.com)

LARP swords. CCBill forbids LARP swords based on realism.

We can all tell that Pandora Dreams is not harmful – in fact, with its stress on consent and safety, it is a shining example of positive adult sexual fantasy depictions.

So why can’t CCBill?

Madness.

People seem to really be liking my newest erotic anthology, Voracious. I think the hot cover helps a lot (thanks Cleis Press!) but the true shine comes from within: the many extremely talented authors I got to work with when putting this dirty sexy beauty together.

The foreword is by someone I’m a huge fan of – if you ever got into the Carrie’s Story/Safe Word books (holy yum, they are the thinking girl’s 50 Shades), then you’ll know who Molly Weatherfield (aka Pam Rosenthal) is. I was blown away when I found out she was writing a piece for the start of Voracious, and even more so when I read what she wrote… Here’s a snip from Alison Tyler‘s contribution, “Worth It”:

“I want you to hold me down and fuck me hard. Don’t treat me like myself, or like a woman at all—treat me like an animal,” I told him, the last such pronouncement I would make. Aidan was the kind of guy who always made me feel depraved, and he had a special knack for making my pussy tighten so fiercely I worried that it would stay that way permanently, the way parents warn their kids their eyebrows will stay furrowed if they keep on frowning. I’d been lusting after him for almost a year, but had finally broken through my own fear and told him what I wanted from him, only to find he felt the same way.

I’d never asked anyone anything of the sort – a little spanking, a few minutes of bondage, a few dirty words thrown my way, but that was about it. This was different. This was real, raw. That’s how much I wanted him. At first, I wasn’t sure if he got what I was saying—I didn’t want him to hold back, at all. I could tell that he had been holding back, just enough to make me long for more, to make me feel slightly put off, as if he thought I was too fragile to take what he could really give me.

Speaking of ‘what she wrote’ – I wanted to tell you one more thing about Voracious. It got a great 5-star review by Erzabet Bishop. Never heard of her? If you read erotica, you should get to know her – she’s a rabid, non-stop erotica reviewer. And her reviews are tightly-spun tours of any one book’s tale (or tales), and she manages to do it with zero spoilers. All I have to say is that as a former copywriter for book and video sales – it’s no small thing to be a great review writer. And much to my relief and happiness, she really sunk her teeth into Voracious:

(…) Voracious comes across my desk and I am hopelessly enthralled. Or I guess the right term is voraciously enthralled. The title really does say it all.

The foreword by Molly Weatherfield (Carrie, Safe Word) sets the stage for a festival of wanting, needing each and every story within the cover of this book. Nineteen tales of unbridled lust and some very original points of view make this anthology one that will have you looking at things in a whole new light. Sting is king here, make no mistake about it.

(…) “Becky” by Kay Jaybee is an job you will never forget. We all know about performance plans and developmental discipline. What happens when Becky spills the coffee and the whole office gets to watch her very public shaming? An epic story of impact play and control, “Becky” made me long for a really good caning and had me squirming in my seat. Yes, this tale is a multifaceted festival of lights. Voyeurism, impact play, f/f, m/f and some pretty strict working conditions made this one scorcher of a read.

(…) “Worth It” by Alison Tyler has to be one of the most erotic anal sex stories I have ever read. Wanting and longing for the touch of a lover that just isn’t interested pushes our girl to new heights of suggestion and creativity. Alison Tyler never disappoints. Ever.

(…) Voracious is just what the title suggests. Each of the nineteen stories in this collection meets editor Violet Blue’s exquisite standards of taste and sheer kink. These are not your run of the mill girl meets flogger stories. Oh no. This is the stuff that new fetishes are born from. These stories will haunt your daydreams (…)

I’m a big fan of Tony Kelly’s outrageous work and I just found his spread from GQ Turkey, issue March 2013 – don’t miss the entire set here.

Tony Kelly’s gallery gives us a taste of what GQ is like in a country whose anti-fascist protests have brought global scrutiny on its excessive use of force on protesters, has dubbed the ongoing protests the “Turkish Spring” and is probably about to get a whole lot worse. I didn’t expect GQ in Turkey (99.8% Muslim) to be far pornier and pro-nipple than its sadly tame, prudish-by-comparison American counterpart…

Just Another IKEA Catalog is an absolute;y brilliant blog that is collecting animated .gifs of IKEA furniture and accessories in amateur porn, catalog-style.

Along with Indifferent Cats in Amateur Porn, Just Another IKEA Catalog is now one of my all-time favorites among the most exquisitely simple ideas which blend porn with the inherent, oft-unintentional humor of the ordinary found in our everyday lives. (FWIW, for this post I did not use the animated .gifs but the still images link to the original, hilarious posts.)

Plus, I’d actually shop IKEA’s online catalog if they switched up to this brilliant marketing strategy. Who knew their bookshelves were so sturdy?

Some people prefer porn films, some prefer quick get-to-the-point scenes. While I have usually found myself in the latter category more often than not (depends on utility vs. quality, etc), I can’t wait to see new porn film “Come Find Me” by TROUBLEfilms, which officially released today and has a release party/screening tonight.

There are already so many things to love about this film. It is heterosexually-focused, kinky, romantic, and it stars Poppy Cox and Gasper Johnson, the real-life couple behind Bike Smut. I remember how much you liked their work when I posted Bike Smut: joyful filth for bikesexuals last year.

From TROUBLEfilms:

Gasper sends his girlfriend Poppy on a bike-powered scavenger hunt ending at an empty house with a gorgeous man ready to ravage her inside out. He binds her with bike tubes, spanks her, and taunts her until she’s too wet to stand – and then with an HD cam in hand, Poppy (and award-winning director Courtney Trouble) document an afternoon full of lustful oral sex, fingering, and finally – some deep, desperate, hard core fucking that makes both of them come hard – at last!

Challenging the formulaic male gaze of mainstream heterosexual pornography, Come Find Me is a fine example of independently-made, female-foward pornography. Come Find Me features spoken and visual consent patterns, a focus on female pleasure as well as male, and an altruistic approach to character development that allows you to fall in lust with both the woman *and* the man. It strays from the stereotypical “porn for women” trope by offering up hardcore close-ups, rough sex, and HD cinematography, alongside its romantic authenticity.

It’s the newest flick from TROUBLEfilms Founder, CEO, director and occasional coder Courtney Trouble. As of today “Come Find Me” is available for VOD and a limited-edition run on DVD ($25).

The VOD (Video on Demand) date for “Come Find Me” was also set for today, but I think there were tech issues: I’ll let you know and update this post when you can watch it online. It’ll be available as VOD on TROUBLEfilms, Indie Porn Revolution, and RealQueerPorn with mainstream global VOD representation at Hot Movies, PinkLabel.TV, and more.

If you’re here in San Francisco tonight, there’s an exclusive screening and release party at The Center for Sex and Culture from 8pm-10. The Facebook page for Come Find Me’s screening is here, and a direct link to buy tickets is here (cost is from $6-$26, plus service fees).

This film, and its people, are also well worth supporting since apparently anti-porn feminists have been attacking Bike Smut and Courtney since the film’s release was announced in early May. And I can tell you from personal experience: you know you’ve arrived in style when the feminists come after you…

After over a decade of working with indie sex toy companies and sex educators, while warning and advising the public on unsafe sex toys, I’m giving a heavy endorsement to the Dildology project. My unsafe sex toys and products page was one among a few good starts – now some great people are taking this quest for sex toy health information and standards to the next level of scientific materials analysis and are operating with a transparent process. Say hello – and please consider a donation to – new nonprofit Dildology and their open sex toys database/Wiki.

• Dildology’s main donation page with multiple options is here.
• Vote to support the start of Dildology’s fundraiser at Offbeatr and learn how to donate here.
• Follow Dildology on Twitter for updates.

As mentioned in my last Sex News post, the majority of sex toys from mainstream manufacturers (Doc Johnson, Pipedream, Cal Exotics, Hustler, etc) are unsafe toys made in China – toys from toxic, untested materials, all with the escape clause as being sold “for novelty use only.” Most consumers have no idea.

Hey Epiphora (“Where sex toys go to be judged”) sums it up in their recent post, Once and for all: what’s in our sex toys? where they write:

Dildology is a brand new non-profit organization run by Dangerous Lilly, Crista Anne, and Val Orenda that will send sex toys to labs to have them independently tested. With this, there will finally be some accountability within the industry, and we’ll have a much better idea which manufacturers to trust — and which to side-eye.

Unfortunately, testing is not cheap. To the tune of $200-450 per toy. To remain unaffiliated and unbiased, Dildology won’t be able to sell advertising space, so they’re relying on donations.

Sex toys should not stink, melt, taste gross, be made of mystery materials, should not have misleading or false packaging, should not cause infections, or be made from materials known to be carcinogenic.

Dildology spells out their terms – and unlike certain tech bloggers, Dildology has strict policies already in place to cut bribery off at the pass.

Dildology.org intends to provide material verification services and maintain a public database of the results, adding transparency and oversight to the industry while educating the public about the science behind pleasure products. We stand on our own, uninfluenced, and we are dedicated to protecting the health and wellbeing of the dildo-loving population at large through education (and maybe a little entertainment). (…)

WE WILL:

* accept monetary donations.
* accept product donations from third-party retail stores and wholesalers.
* purchase products from third-party retail stores.
* choose products to test based on community feedback.
* send products to accredited labs for testing.
* compare the material composition of products to the manufacturers’ claims.
* share the results of lab tests with manufacturers.
* record the results of the lab tests in our wiki.
* make our wiki available to the public.
* provide other educational resources to the public.

WE WILL NOT:

* accept product donations directly from manufacturers.
* test second-hand products – only those acquired directly from retail stores and wholesalers.
* test any product manufactured more than one year ago.
* publish opinions about products or manufacturers – only facts.
* falsify data, for any reason.
* suppress or fail to publish the results of any test.

• If Yahoo! succeeds in its attempt to acquire Tumblr, it is most certainly doomed. Yahoo! will end up with one of the hottest Internet properties ($1 billion valuation), with access to the coveted youth market and a foothold in mobile – and a lot of porn. Tumblr’s terms of service are pretty clear: Sexual material is welcome. It just asks that such posts be tagged as NSFW, noting that its users include many people “from a variety of locations, cultures, and backgrounds with different points of view concerning adult-oriented content.”

• Meanwhile, Tumblr appears to be lying to its thousands of NSFW blog users. “If you’ve got an adult blog on Tumblr, there’s a good chance Tumblr uses robots.txt to exclude the search engines from indexing it. If you’ve got an adult Tumblr, go look at your own settings. Do you see that first checkbox, the one that says “allow search engines to index your blog”? That checkbox is a lie. It’s nicely checked, it’s not greyed out, but if your blog is flagged “adult” it’s a lie.”

Lisa M. Hayes has been making outrageous big-boob (almost crosses into BE*), strong-woman and fantasy character art and commissions as The Ultra Fem since 2005. I only just discovered Ultra Fem’s whimsical – explicit fetish – art world when a thoughtful friend sent me this link to Erin Esurance In Bondage. In Hayes’ archives you’ll find a range of female characters, hardcore scenarios such as Red She-Hulk x Lana Kane, and plenty of horny ‘futas’ (futa; from futanari -hentai- meaning combined male and female traits, fetish instance specific here for hyoooge boobs and gigantic cocks; also note that some consider futa a respectful reference instance use word for the dated, oft-insulting, yet still widely used term ‘she-male’). Like in this Mass Effect Futa Threesome.

You can find more Ultra Fem work at Hentai Foundry, Hayes has released her 2013 calendar and has a ton of her expertly executed and very specific fetish art in her store. She stopped doing commissions – except when she is doing live drawing art shows at her Ultra Fem Draws (Lisa’s Live Art Show) Tumblr (although it looks like she needs help finding a reliable vendor).

* BE = breast expansion fetish, it’s been around for ages. Overflowing Bra and BE Archive are well-known examples.

I quietly mentioned in a previous Sex News post that a new journal from British academics Feona Attwood and Clarissa Smith, and Routledge Publishing, entitled “Porn Studies” will publish its inaugural issue in Spring 2014.

I was invited to become a member of the Porn Studies Journal Editorial Board early this year. I gave it much thought, responded – and I received my “welcome to the Board” email four days ago. I am absolutely delighted!

As a Porn Studies Board member, I invite you to submit to the first official Porn Studies Journal: Call for Papers.

Please help distribute the Call for Papers to your networks, and spread the word.

Porn Studies is an interdisciplinary journal described as “the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to critically explore those cultural products and services designated as pornographic and their cultural, economic, historical, institutional, legal and social contexts.” Porn Studies will pay particular attention to “the intersection of sexuality, gender, race, class, age and ability.”

The Journal focuses on developing knowledge of pornographies past and present, in all their variations and around the world. Because pornography studies are still in their infancy we are also interested in discussions that focus on theoretical approaches, methodology and research ethics. Alongside articles, the journal includes a forum devoted to shorter observations, developments, debates or issues in porn studies, designed to encourage exchange and debate.

Porn Studies invites submissions for publication, commencing with its first issue in Spring 2014. Articles should be between 5000 and 8000 words. Forum submissions should be 500-1500 words. Book reviews should be between 800 and 1500 words. Submissions will be refereed anonymously by at least two referees.

In this first instance submissions, queries and suggestions should be sent to editorspstudies [at] gmail [dot] com

You can also help the Journal and its mission by:

• Circulate the Porn Studies: Call for Papers link to your networks and organizations of interest.
• Library recommendation: check if your institution has a subscription to the journal. If not, recommend it for the next subscription year.
• If you teach, consider adding it your students’ reading lists.

It is time to create a valid and constructive conversation on pornography, and in turn offer balance to irrational, fact-challenged and illogical statements about a topic that is key to understanding human sexuality and the well-being of individuals and their quest for self-defined, healthy sexuality.

And, happily, we’re all over the news:

Above: Geek X trailer for full 20-minute film Sex Note – Episode 1, starring Julie Valmont (a twist on the popular manga Death Note).

Seeing as I love and celebrate everything geek-sex-positive and sex/tech inclusive, new site Geek X (also: Twitter) looks like it’s worth keeping an eye on as their team adds new content over time. French porn maker Isaac Geek-X sent me an unexpected message today to tell me about the brand new website and its mission statement:

(…) A recent erotic film production firm, Geek X aims at honoring geeks. Often bullied on the subject of sex, they are now the main protagonists of a series of episodes published on the Internet.

“Geeks are always depicted as shy people, lacking self-confidence and ill-at-ease in social contexts. The idea is to be finished with the vision of the young man having nothing in his life but information technologies and video games. I mean to promote another image of ourselves, beyond caricature and clichés.

(…) Those short films (about 20 minutes long), will be distinct from mainstream “hardcore porn” by moving scenarios full of the “geek spirit”, and by offering images of which the sensuality could even appeal to women, more and more fond of erotica.

The films will be published once every two weeks, and will be sold on geek-x.com at a $3.99 price.

Once the video is paid for, the user will be able to download it and watch it over and over again on his or her member space.

Geek-X intends to internationally convey an ambition and know-how typical of the French, and will therefore offer English, Spanish, German, Italian, Finnish, Korean and Japanese subtitles.

The teaser from the first film – a parody of the famous manga Death Note – is now available.

“You think of us as virgins,
We will fight back once again.”

This quotation concludes the “Geek Manifesto”
