Courtney Trouble has run NoFauxxx.com since 2003 making her one of the trailblazers of modern queer porn! NoFauxxx.com has over 125 unique models and over 200 photosets, most of which she took. She does all of the coding, designing, editing, marketing, and behind-the-scenes business stuff involved with the site and project. And on top of [...]
A few weeks ago, I was participating in a panel discussion on porn at a local college and I’ve been thinking about something that one of the other folks brought up.
She was talking about how porn doesn’t show the intimacy and connection that are part of sex. And I 100% agree with her on that, [...]
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 [...]
Oh happy day!
For those of you who remember our post about Safe for Work which is a really really hilariously artful website and you can laugh here: (http://www.sfw-porn.com/).
Think that’s clever? Wait till you see it in action with the TRAILER! (Thank you Smartyboots for the tip.)

Some of you may be wondering “What happened to the online Video Rental site that Good Vibes used to have?” Well, it’s gone the way of the VHS dinosaurs. You can still rent flicks from our Good Vibrations stores (I know Valencia does it… someone please correct me if the other stores do not?) however [...]
It’s a sale celebrating our new site! LOVE!
There are TONS of new features on our new site, and one of them is the much anticipated VOD and PPM. What is Video on Demand? It’s just that — you buy it online and watch it right then! What’s PPM? Pay Per Minute means you can check [...]
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 [...]
As a ROYAL fan (I think I am beyond fan) of queer-owned and operated porn company Pink & White Productions, I’m very excited about the next DVD release from some of the episodes from season two of their one-of-a-kind queer (dyke/trans) website, CrashPadSeries.com.
For folks who like their lesbian sex real, and their queers really diverse, [...]
Have you ever thought about why porn works? Seriously, why does seeing other people engaging in sex acts make us physically prepared to engage in sex ourselves – that is, why does it turn us on? Obviously not all porn turns on all people, and men are supposedly more responsive to it than women, but [...]
In the few weeks or so we should have our copies of Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships written by sexpert Tristan Taormino. The reviews are in and this book is landmark. Not only is Tristan’s writing accessible and relevant to people considering exploring polyamory but it’s also great for folks [...]
“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 [...]
I recently came across an article on AVN.com which discussed a claim made by a Leighton Professor of Law at Northwestern University in his paper Porn Up Rape Down that “a decline in reported rape of 85% in the past 25 years can be tied to an increase in pornography consumption.”
As a woman in this [...]
So… I got a fabulous customer on the phone the other day asking for advice on learning to talk dirty to her partner in bed. She had asked if there were any video’s on the subject or any films that might give her ideas of what to say. There is one video I can think of on [...]

Our friends over at Kink.com (a large kink paysite online, who are sex educated and practice BDSM safely) have a page up with none other than one of my favorite stars, Princess Donna, teaching a fisting class!
With most pornography, there is a law that prohibits the act of fisting. (Because it is ‘obscene’.) Should [...]
The GayVN (much like parent AVN) recognizes outstanding titles in the Gay genre of Adult Films. Though this still means that Lesbian (read ‘Dyke’ not ‘girl/girl’ for the male gaze) and Trans (read FTM) films and studios continue to be underground, the event at least sheds some spotlight to the gay male pornographers, most of [...]
Call me a dork… (if that’s your thing.)
If you’re a fan of ABC’s “LOST”, this may be a spoiler. A friend just passed this LOST Pornography Training Film along to me. It poses several enlightening questions that the series fails to answer. Such as, who owns the island? (Apparently, it was purchased by kink.com! Ha!) [...]
Inspired by Valentines romance, evolutionary biologist and author of Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation: The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex, Olivia Judson, reported in a New York Times Opinion A Tyrannical Romance about how dinosaurs mated. This is particularly interesting to anyone who is curious about specialized phallis, such are [...]
In the last post about AVN winners, I failed to mention some other titles that Good Vibes carries, including some of the stars who won Performer of the Year, who appear in a BUNCH of titles. I also didn’t talk enough about my crush, Sasha Grey.
Black Reign Series (Mercenary Pictures) won Best Ethnic-Themed Series (Black). [...]
The 2007 AVN Awards have announced their honors, hosted by one of GV’s favorite stars and producer of Teravision, Tera Patrick. I’m dying to hear bloggers Misty or Judah Maccabee’s account on how it all went down. The two were there for the convention, and I hear there was some schmoozing with some of my [...]
EXPOSED! Porn in the Valley.
Daily News has compiled a special report on several areas and points of interest in the Porn industry, and they lay it out visually on this site: XXX Valley.
I haven’t gotten a chance to read through all of it yet, but I can’t wait. Has anyone else read it? Have any [...]
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 [...]
Nominees for the AVN awards have been announced, and the ceremony is rapidly approaching. You may see a lot of titles at the awards that you wont find on our shelfs. We probably only carry about 30% of what makes it to the AVN. (That’s not a real number, just my own rough estimate.)
You might [...]
Or, The Difference Between Anal Plugs, and Anal Dildos.
The other day, my ass decided to eat a glass plug.
Gulp…
This is still a company blog so I’ll spare some detail, however the educational value of this lesson should not go unheard. SESAs (Sex Educator Sales Associates) are trained that anal toys should always have a flared [...]
What makes a good Sex Toy gift?
Naturally, it depends who the person is, and their relationship to you. I have friends who have given their fathers vibrating cock rings and anal prostate massagers. If I had that kind of close relationship with my own dad, sure… however in my family, there is that line.
Some gifts [...]
