Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been an Intelligent Hedonist.

One of the most common questions we get when we discuss our work with fine young ladies: “How can I bang James Deen?” (We’re not kidding. We’ve been asked this many times. And we’re not the only ones.)

Usually, we just smile and tell the girls they should find an agent and start working in porn–but at long last, we have a much more satisfying answer.

Porn for ladies: we don’t pretend to know what it is (even being part lady ourselves), but we’re always totally fascinated to see what other people label as “porn for women.” Today’s entry: the Porn 4 Ladies tumblr, which–interestingly enough–also goes by the handle “Romantic Pornography.”

Tonight is the Feminist Porn Awards’ screening event, “Public. Provocative. Porn. The Year’s Best in Feminist Film”.

Nica Noelle’s Noelle’s “My Girlfriend’s Mother, Vol. 3″ surprised and delighted me with copious amounts of hot sex and a rather staggering number of female orgasms.

I’m off to Toronto for the Feminist Porn Awards, presented by Canadian feminist sex toy store Good For Her. I’ve made the trip each year to celebrate the accomplishments of my peers and network with folks who are making and marketing alternative visions of sex.

FEET! Who knew there were so many dizzying things to do with them other than walk on them? Joanna Angel knows, and she got her Burning Angel crew together for this Footloose-flavored foot fetish comedy.

I won’t even lie to you guys. I had no idea this “Next Friday Night” is a XXX comedy version of Katy Perry’s video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” until I did some digging. Why? Because the only time I hear Katy Perry is at the gym. Sue me! Once I watched the video, of course, it all became clear. The braces, the headgear, the bangs, and the dweeby but loyal best friend — even the extra silly fantasies of knights and swords are more or less all in Next Friday Night. Of course, “Next Friday Night” doesn’t have Hanson, Kenny G., Corey Feldman, or Debbie Gibson in its cast. Oh, hell no. But there is a lot of banging, so there’s that.

James Deen is probably the only porn star who could make someone wish they’d gone to Hebrew school. Yes, we know, he’s corrupting The Youth of Today! And Tumblr. And Bret Easton Ellis. But isn’t that why we love him? Oh, and because he’s smart, funny, cute, and has a ridiculously huge cock.

A really long time ago a boyfriend and I snuck into the adult section at the local indie video store and rented a VHS tape of Deborah Sundahl’s “How to Female Ejaculate: Find Your G-Spot.” I don’t remember it really helping us along on my quest to squirt — after all, Sundahl also wrote the book on it, literally, which I’d already read — but it was interesting and hot and, well, that’s maybe a story for another time. The guide had a certain crunchy queer Bay Area vibe to it that I liked. Sundahl does have a guide specifically for couples, but this wasn’t it; this was sort of a space pioneered by feminists like Sundahl, Annie Sprinkle, Carol Queen (who is in the guide), Nina Hartley, and Susie Bright. It would have turned off many a “typical” hetero dude looking for some wank material.

Club Elite is a mixed bag of sexy, enthusiastic female performers, tedious sex scenes, and weird behind-the-scenes stuff that comes off looking just plain unprofessional. Elegant Angel calls it “reality/superstar porn,” but reality doesn’t necessarily make for good porn. The performers are all beautiful ladies in a nice range of

Ask women or people of color why they got into directing, producing, or writing their own projects, and it’s often because they haven’t seen much, if any, of their own experiences reflected back to them onscreen. This is definitely the case with “Tight Places: A Drop of Color,” as the

Sometimes, life is pretty awesome. For example, when the Queen of Fleshbot asks you what kind of porn you like and you tell her in detail and then she presents you with an amazing DVD full of almost everything you mentioned, as is the case with Vicarious, that’s a red

For my last Porn For Straight Girls review (the column will continue, just not with me) I’m choosing to share with you the strangest movie I have, “She-Male Police 2,” and I have an ulterior motive. It’s a great piece of pornography. It’s also probably the last kind of smut

I was at a disadvantage when I watched “This Ain’t Conan The Barbarian XXX,” as I’ve never seen the original 1982 film (or the 2011 version, for that matter.) But that didn’t impede my enjoyment of this, which I’m quite sure was at least true to its inspiration’s campiness. There

I wasn’t porn-conscious enough in 2002 to remember Inari Vachs’ first period in porn, but if her current reemergence is anything to go by, I’m glad she decided to jump back into the smut industry. In “Seasoned Players 15,” Tom Byron gives her top billing, and sings her praises on

I would just like to state, right away, that if you burn yourself to a crisp deep-frying your turkey on Thanksgiving, your nurses will probably not be as hot as the ones in “Big Breast Nurses 5.” So don’t go getting any ideas from this. “Big Breast Nurses 5″ is

jessica drake’s “Guide To Wicked Sex: Fellatio” is narrated not unlike an article in Cosmo—you know, one of those featured on the cover, with tag lines like, “What Men Want!” or “How To Blow His Mind!” Between Bobbi Starr, Danny Mountain, the adorable Chris Johnson, Eric Masterson, Allie Haze, and

Girlzporn, a new site that aims to “provide a central community for women to explore & enjoy erotic media in its may forms,” is sort of exactly what I’ve been hoping would pop up as a result of the recent attention brought to female porn-viewers. It’s a fantastic site, and

It’s time to take a moment and celebrate Belladonna’s return to porn. There’s a reason she tops Lux’s guide to watching porn while female, and why the site went into rapturous convulsions when she revealed she was coming back to us. The woman is a legend. Now, “Dick Sauce (Animal
