I read Dr. Glickman’s blog post the other day and giggled.
Ever since having a conversation with a dear friend about the Palin porn he envisioned (filed under MILF of course) I’ve been waiting for the industry to pony up and release a Palin-inspired title. And after watching last night’s debate… I was hoping somebody would [...]



MTV Gets Candid about Sex, Love, and Relationships with Fatman Scoop and Shanda’s “Man and Wife”

By Kuono • Sep 23rd, 2008 • Category: POC, Sex Positivity, pop culture, video clips

I’m a fan of “Man and Wife”, a regular webisode (www.manandwife.tv) hosted by two-time Grammy Winner Fatman Scoop and his beautiful and smart-as-hell sweetie Shanda.
Special Note: While the gender bender in me wants to say “Man and Wife?” what’s up with that?! Shouldn’t it be “Man and Woman” or “Husband and Wife”… you know… it [...]

The historic coupling of Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin was San Francisco’s first to be married after being together for over 50 years… honestly it brought tears to my eyes. Not [...]

How does that song go? … “Sistas are doing it for themselves…”
Well, they are. Giana Taylor, founder of the 1st Annual Urban Spice Awards is recognizing adult industry talent who usually only get their for nods in the “Best Ethnic” categories. Shafted (literally?!) by award after award, this Sunday’s award ceremony brings some [...]



The Rise of Trans Male Porn

By Kuono • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: POC, Porn, Trans Sexuality

“It’s queer, genderfucking, community-based, and political.” Says sexpert Tristan Taormino in her Village Voice article The New Wave of Trans Cinema.
Taormino writes of two of the newest trans-focused DVDs Couch Surfers by Trannywood Pictures and Trans Entities: The Nasty Love of Papi and Wil, a docu-porn by Morty Diamond. Her article is well-written and [...]



FUCK (a loose dvd review)

By Kuono • Dec 21st, 2007 • Category: Books & Videos, POC, Porn

One of the best parts about working at Good Vibrations is the ability to take home pornos so we all can get a good look at the videos we carry.
I just borrowed FUCK (Wicked Pictures, Directed by Brad Armstrong) and it was truly everything it said it would be.
I loved the production value of this [...]

A good friend just passed this call for submissions to me. It’s an 2009 anthology of Black Lesbian Erotica, edited by Shonia L. Brown and brought to us by Nghosi Books. Please note the submission specifications; they’re looking for erotica that doesn’t focus necessarily on sex. “Be as sexy, sensual, even explicit as you like, [...]

Me So Horny, for non-appropriating Asian American Sex Blogs

By Kuono • Aug 7th, 2007 • Category: POC

One of my more sporadic tasks as blog administer is researching diverse sex blogs to add to our link list. However, try as I may, I can’t seem to locate very many blogs devoted to debunking sexual myths about Asian American sexuality.*
*There are myths about Asian American sexuality? Oh yes. Myths and fetishes galore. Tight [...]
