The dark side of sex isn’t really my thing, and I continue to be frustrated that when “the mainstream” takes on sexual themes there seems to be no issue in revelling in violence and sickness, but a hard cock stretching open a wet pussy is strictly forbidden.
Never the less, this period piece from Bret Wood is pretty eye catching.
I laughed out loud when I read my wife’s blog last night. From the first meeting there was no doubt there was something different about her, something to do with sex and gender and all that, but not something that has a name – not yet at least.
You would not know this to look at her. She is tall, has a great figure and a beautiful face, and if you saw her walking down the street, you’d think “This world was made for women like her.”
You’d never know she was an alien, working hard to keep her shiny emerald skin hidden.
Just a click or two away from our little corner of the blogosphere there are some sharp reminders that sex has consequences.
Not all of the consequences are unwelcome, not all unwelcome consequences are life shattering, or even life altering, and some of the welcome consequences of having sex will change your life forever.
I know I’m a little late to this, but you mean to tell me that JT Leroy isn’t the same guy that Oprah was all mad at last month? Just how many fake sob-story memoirist are there out there?
While we’re on the subject, and before you here it from anybody else: I’m not really a middle-aged married white man living in a ranch-style house in the suburbs with two cats, two dogs, and two children. This, in fact, is a fiction I’ve promulgated in the hopes that it makes the films I produce seem more interesting and exciting.
The “real” Tony Comstock is, in fact, a 72 year old asian spinster, living in a cramped Murry Hill apartment with one cat.
Please do not judge me too harshly. Had you been in my position, you would have done the same thing.
A poster, a press-release – this blog-reading things has gone from being a lark of an idea at an informal Manhattan gathering to seeming like something real. (A good poster and a few pithy bios will do that, you know.) And I’m not embarrassed to say I’m gosh darned excited to be a part of it!
These people are a part of it too:

Conceived in the throes of a passionate one-night stand between bell hooks and RuPaul, writing and activism is built into her sordid DNA. These days you can catch her twirling tassels at The Slipper Room, and with Wasabassco Burlesque at The Living

Jefferson

Until his wife announced she no longer cared to be married, thank you very much.
Jefferson’s blog, One Life, Take Two narrates his new life, balancing fatherhood, bisexuality and a parade of friends and lovers, many of whom participate in orgies he regularly hosts. It is the life of a parentand pervert in New York City.

Naked Loft Party.
Tess
Five years ago, Tess, author of Urban Gypsy, was your average neurotic wife, mother and accountant, living in not so quiet desperation in the suburbs. Then an old crush came into her life sparking a never quite extinguished passion for love and life. Tess, newly awakened, decided to blog about her passions, BDSM and whatever else maybe of interest. Urban Gypsy documents one woman’s journey in search of passion and more passion.
Viviane
Viviane is a research librarian and blogger. She thinks about sex all of the time, and blogging most of the time. She started the group blog Viviane’s Sex Carnival in 2005. She is also editor of TGP.com.
The Perverts’ Saloon came in to being this past February, when she decided she was tired of wanking off to words, and wanted to meet the bloggers in person. The bloggers who met bonded over boobies, blogging and a broken glass mirror. She likes computers and technology, red wine, men with a sense of humor, and long walks on the beach.
Previously I fretted publicly over the prospect of writing a 75 word bio for the blog reading I’ll be participating in, and was promptly (and rightly) chastised by one of the organizers that if I could find the words to fret on my blog, I could certainly find the words for the bio.
Fair enough. Here it is:
Tony Comstock came to New York City in the early 90’s as a photographer and writer, hoping for fame and fortune. Over the course of a dozen or so years, he managed to find a wife, a home, a family, and most recently, minor celebrity as a filmmaker. His 2006 release, “Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together” explores and celebrates the physical and emotional relationship of adult performers and real-life off screen couple Damon Demarco and Hunter James.
I have been fretting privately too, fretting about what I should read. I am not intimidated by public speaking, in fact I rather like it. But I am terrible at reading aloud. I can barely struggle through bedtime books for my children, let alone anything more dense. And my blog posts are not especially titillating either, so there’s the prospect of me stumbling through my own self-indulgent, not especially sexy writing while breaking into a sweat. Fun!
With the help of a friend I have managed to come up with three finalist. With the proviso that any of them would need a little re-writing to be read out of context, I invite you, dear readers, to offer your opinion on what I should inflict on the good people of Galapagos.
And for any of you who missed it the first time
WHAT: NYC Perverts’ Saloon

WHO: A family of strangers are New York City’s Sex Bloggers
See you there!
A few days ago I wrote that I thought that video podcast porn (or erotica, or smut, or adult videos or whatever it is that people need to call it to feel good about buying it and watching it) will ultimately be very big in the women’s market because it will give them the abilty to buy and watch explicit sex with the same degree of privacy that they currently enjoy when buying and reading written pornography (Oops! Excuse me, erotica ;)) in e-book form.
All that’s missing are films/videos that are both sufficiently filthy and well-crafted to hold these women’s attention and not make them feel like their inteligence or sexuality is being insulted; and a way to get the iPorn onto women’s iPods, and their money back into the pockets of the producers.
(So what you’re saying, TC, is that what’s missing is quality product and a distribution system for the product. Is that all?)
Well okay, the “all that’s” is a pretty big all that’s. But it’s not insurmountable. Once again I’ll point to the wonderful variety of very lovely things that women now have to shove up their cunts that simply didn’t exist only a few years ago.
Pioneers like Joani Blank and Dell Williams didn’t start by offering premium dildos, they started by offering a premium shopping experience (distribution), and slowly be surely products evolved to take advantage of the niche they created. Yes, Doc Johnson is still selling crap by the truckload, but the good doctor no longer is the sole arbiter of what a dildo can or should be. In fact, Dr. Johnson’s vision of what a sextoy is gets more and more quaint looking as more and more beautifully made pleasure instruments find their place in the market.
I think we make movies that are good enough to reach women (and men for that matter) whose tastes and expectations have been formed by the wealth of well-written porn (Oops, I did it again – erotica) that’s available online (scroll down to see what ERWA has to say about Xana and Dax), and it respectable places like Barnes and Noble. But it might be a while before there’s an Ellora’s Cave of video smut for women, or till you see our DVDs for sale at places like Blockbuster. Two decades of porn that seems to get meaner and less well-made by the month has soured a lot of people on the idea that watching real flesh and blood people have sex can be fun.
So for now, we do it the old-fashion way, but with a electronic twist. We’re like a baker, and the internet is like a giant farmer’s market. Our video podcast is that tray of free samples that makes you slow down.
“What sort of a chocolate cake (or cup of coffee or bottle of beer) could be worth double what they get for the same thing at the SuperSaver. Then you taste, and if you like it you buy. And if it really is that much better, you tell your friends!
In episode 10 of “Xana and Dax: When Opposites Attract” brings us to the conclusion of our Xana and Dax’s love making. There’s more of Xana riding Dax with abandon, and then going back down on him to bring him over the edge with her expert mouth and a little light anal play. Dax certainly enjoys it, and you will too!
