And, last but certainly not least in today’s “Porn I Recommend to Everyone” as part of Lady Porn Day Week (Lady Porn Week?):
4) For those of you who are into the story and the sex, who want to see sex as part of a story, who want to see sex from new and different angles, but want to see it in ways that most porn never explores… For those who are into real looking sex where things don’t always go perfectly, where awkwardness and nervousness are a part of the experience like they are in real life, and yet is filmed by someone who knows how to use a camera (amateur stuff is great, but the lighting’s always terrible, the TV’s always on in the background, and then the cat jumps up on the bed… ick)… May I recommend Jennifer Lyon Bell’s Blue Artichoke Films. Lyon Bell, a Harvard grad and sexual pioneer, makes her own brand of “explicit erotic” film that doesn’t follow any formula you’ve ever seen. These are films first, erotic second, and explicit third (some aren’t even explicit, but are so erotic that the explicitness isn’t necessary for the hotness to be scorching). They’ll make you think, but only after they’ve made you wet. Personally, I love them. They’re still new to the US, originating as they do in the Netherlands, where Lyon Bell is living and working (and teaching)–jump on a totally worthwhile bandwagon now and get your own copy of Matinee and Headshot (a remake of the original Andy Warhol short film, but this time with a more hetero bent). No matter what you think you’re expecting, you won’t be disappointed and you will probably be pleasantly surprised.
