Sex Tips: Can Porn Help You Know If You’re a Lesbian?

Friday, November 16th, 2012

Are you gay?

This is a real question. Who wants to know? Parents, friends, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, cousins and all the rest of them. Believe it or not, knowing if you’re lesbian, gay or bisexual isn’t always obvious. Can porn help?

Queer Manor lesbian porn by Madison YoungThe benefits of watching porn, besides being a huge turn-on for many people, is that you can discern which sex acts are of interest, which sex acts you like, if you react strongly for or against certain images.

Will it help you know if you’re a lesbian? Or bisexual? Or something else?

Probably. If you like watching women have sex with each other, and you’re turned on, then there’s at least some lesbian twinges happening inside you.

Does it mean you’ll be a lesbian forever? Maybe. Maybe not. Like a lot of things, it depends on what you make of it.

Some women are only interested in women. Or they are sometimes, and sometimes with men, or multiple partners, or they’re equally turned on by men and women and others.

What about transgender impulses? There are whole cultures of transgender people who are not necessarily transsexual but who dress and behave in ways traditionally different than their given gender. In the Chicago Reader‘s blog The Straight Dope, Cecil Adams captures the essence of what psychiatry terms “gender identity disorder”: “you think you’re the wrong sex, and you’re not happy about it.”

On the other hand, “What’s So Bad About a Boy Who Wants to Wear a Dress?” the New York Times Magazine asked not long ago. Gender-fluid is the way they describe parenting boys who like girls’ stuff.

Queer pornographers such as Courtney Trouble and Madison Young prefer the word genderqueer. They’re breaking new ground in blurring the boundaries between straight and gay and queer and trans.

Why Seduction Matters – Sometimes

Saturday, October 13th, 2012

We get asked a lot about lesbian seduction videos. Which videos show mature lesbians? Which videos show “first lesbian sex” seduction scenes? Which videos show butch/femme lesbian seduction?

Seduction, it turns out, is the key to what makes watching real lesbians make love. Unlike mainstream adult videos, real lesbian videos home in on the magic between two women.

Seduction matters—except sometimes.

Sometimes, who needs wine and roses? “Just fuck me, baby!”

In the hallway, in the car, in an alley, in the kitchen, in bed. It rarely matters where. Explosive sex can be the best medicine for what ails us.

When your sweetie has got her big dildo or fingers ready, or your sweetie is the one ready, willing and panting, go for it. Wine and roses, romantic snuggles, kissing can all come later.

For a good get-wet non-seduction, just-fuck-me scenes, check out Hard Love, one of our favorites. There are others with good spontaneous sex (and check this out for good butch/femme and butch/butch sex).

Here’s a sexy clip from One Night Stand:

Get seduced! Or not.

Sex Tips: How to Tell If Your Partner Is Faking It

Saturday, October 13th, 2012

There are a thousand reasons why people fake it in bed. Sometimes it might even be a good idea.

But what if you’re the one who feels like maybe your partner is faking it. How can you tell?

First off, just because she doesn’t gush doesn’t mean she hasn’t had an orgasm. Real orgasms don’t always mean gushing female ejaculations, even if you have stroked her G-spot. You can have an orgasm without gushing.

That said, here are our top tips on how to tell is she’s faking it:

1. She’s not really even that wet. Put your finger(s) down there. You’ll be able to tell.

2. She’s not working up a sweat.

3. Her nipples aren’t hard.

4. Her moans and/or murmurs or screams don’t sound like her usual.

5. This is the most important one: she shows no signs of satisfaction or joy.

These are mostly physical signs of faking it, but the emotional content is inherent.

If your partner fakes it once or twice, don’t worry about it. But if it’s chronic, talk to her. Find out why. Find out what she needs to be satisfied in bed.

Tongue-Tied? Flirting, Talking Dirty and More

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

Everybody gets tongue-tied now and then, picking up girls, e-mailing potential dates from online personals, approaching somebody on the street or in school or at work.

Be yourself, everybody says.

But what if you don’t know who you are, or who you want to be with this particular person? What if you want to explore something different?

Even couples who have been together for a while might want to break out of routine and try something new.

In Hope Springs, Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones star as a long-term couple who explore adding spark to their marriage.

When asked by the Philippine Daily Inquirer about why passion and sexuality “continue to be subjects that are not so openly discussed,” Streep said, “That has something to do with our vulnerability in talking about sex. We’re talking about our most vulnerable self, our needs, insecurities and nakedness, literally. But we’re also talking about our emotional needs, what we yearn for and what we never stop hoping for.”

Going out on sexier dates means learning to get over being tongue-tied. Being sexier means learning to flirt and even to talk dirty. It means being vulnerable.

In Talk to Me Baby: A Lover’s Guide to Dirty Talk and Role Play director and host Shar Rednour recommends role play for couples who want to explore “something different.”

We think role-play is a perfect way to be vulnerable and protected at the same time. But you have to ask for it. To get up the courage and say, “Want to talk dirty? Want to play dress-up?”

It’s the perfect time of year (think Halloween) to try dressing up and role-playing. There’s not much to lose in toying with new personalities, new personas, reaching inside to grab whatever you yearn for.

You can sound sexy and suggestive, flirty; you can free that sexy creature inside you.

Yours in good love and sex,

P.S. SMUT Magazine wrote about Talk to Me Baby: A Lover’s Guide to Dirty Talk and Role Play: “Shar Rednour is, as always, the perfect hostess. She’s her usual vampy, campy and out of control self. What I love about this video is that anyone can get something out of it.”

The V Word

Friday, September 21st, 2012

Naomi Wolf

“Female sexuality around the world is targeted because through traumatizing the vagina, you can intimidate women on multiple other levels,” writes Naomi Wolf, author of a new book called Vagina: A New Biography.

Wolf’s article, “Kate’s breasts, Pussy Riot, virginity tests and our attitude on women’s bodies,” was published this week on CNN.com.

We don’t 100% agree with Wolf about porn—Porn 24/7, as she calls it. But we do agree with her in general about women’s bodies and sexuality. She writes:

In the struggle over sex, these choices are where the struggle lies: Who decides reproductive rights; who decides when and how breasts might be exposed; who decides who can say vagina and where; who decides who is a slut; and who must be punished with hard labor for asserting their right to define their own sexual and artistic identities.

The censorship by Apple iTunes, as noted in an article in The Guardian, was shocking enough. Adding asterisks so that the word vagina reads v****a.

We see actions the world over suppressing women’s sexuality and sexual expression.

Still and all, Jennifer Hough, writing in the Toronto Star, says “the widespread activism” about the trial and sentencing of Pussy Riot “suggests these young Russian dissidents are giving the movement new impetus, perhaps even tweaking feminism for a new generation.”

Why does women’s sexuality matter? Why does women’s porn matter? We say: It’s about control. Who controls women’s bodies and sexuality matters.

Sex Tips: How to Introduce Kink

Friday, September 21st, 2012

Whether you’ve been together for decades or just hooking up, introducing kink to your relationship shouldn’t be embarrassing or difficult. We recommend going slow, and depending on how serious you are, it may involve some lessons.

Lesson #1. Put away 50 Shades of Grey.

Assuming kink hasn’t been in your sex life from the beginning, adding kinky sex to your arsenal can spark a relationship and ensure you’re never bored. Lesbian bed death? No way!

Crash Pad Series Volume 4 spanking

Do you know what you want? Perhaps you’ve seen pictures or videos of lovers tying each other up or you like the idea of spanking.

If you don’t know what you want, take some time to look around the Web and watch videos. No question, we always recommend watching porn!

Madison Young in Queer ManorLesson #2. Express yourself.

There are myriad ways to tell your sweetie you want to kink it up in bed. Here are two that work: 1) Just do it while you’re making love. Spank her lightly. Pull out that new whip you just bought and tap her bum. Wear the latex brassiere. Start sucking her toes. Act out your fetish and see what her reaction is. 2) Ask her, whether or not you’re in bed.

Lesson #3. Take your kink out of the bedroom. Are you pierced? Take it up a notch and wear a heavier ring to work. Try wearing nipple clamps to a party. Corsets are nice under work clothes too.

Lesson #4. Less is more. Play safe. If you’re unsure of what you’re doing, stop.

Lesson #5. Enjoy the ride. Listen to your body, love yourself and your partner.

The MarketplaceAnd if you want to read a book to get that pussy wet, try The Marketplace by Laura Antoniou. There may be lots of other places to start, but this one is the classic BDSM novel, and our favorite.

It’s the first in a trilogy, and there are links to read the first chapters, get books, e-books and more at Laura’s blog.

 

 

Cosmo Style

Saturday, August 18th, 2012

Helen Gurley Brown 1964We were saddened to hear of the passing of Helen Gurley Brown this past week. While not exactly in line with Feminist Beliefs back in the 1970s, she believed in sex. Because of her belief that women could be homemakers or in the workforce and still sexy, we owe her a nod of gratitude.

She pioneered putting sexy women on the pages of Cosmopolitan. It hadn’t been done before.

It wasn’t really until On Our Backs and Fatale Video (now Fatale Media, as you know) came into being that we dykes were able to openly proclaim our sexuality.

It’s hard to imagine now, but 30 years ago there were Take Back the Night Marches in New York and elsewhere, protesting violence against women and protesting porn. The Sex Wars were in full swing.

Forgive us for taking some liberties with history here, but feminists and sex had an uneasy relationship for a while, despite what we were actually doing in bed.

Where did Helen Gurley Brown fit in to all this? Cosmopolitan was a sexist rag, some thought. But then we caught up to Cosmo in a way that we didn’t expect.

Cosmopolitan was one of the first mainstream magazines to jump on Bend Over Boyfriend and take up the issue of “role-reversal fantasy.”

Straight gals had Cosmo. Thanks to Helen Gurley Brown’s passion for sex, straight women didn’t have to be ashamed of sex.

Being out there and sexy was one thing we shared with Helen Gurley Brown. RIP.

Yours in good love and sex,

Ask Fanny: G-Spot Ecstasy

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

G-spot expert Deborah Sundahl, a.k.a. Fanny Fatale, answers your questions about female ejaculation and the g-spot.

Hello, Deborah
I’ve purchased both your book and video in my desperate quest to join the female ejaculation phenomenon. Years ago, when I was younger, I ejaculated and like everyone for the first time, I had no idea what it was.  Fast forward 16 years later, now at 38, I’ve been trying for a few years–little squirts but a strong smell of urine, even after using the toilet.

After reading the book Deborah Sundahl G-Spot ExpertI continued to be confused and unsuccessful. After purchasing the video, last week, I did it–and it was a big gush. It was everything I’ve read–no smell, different taste and no trace of it once it dried. I was so proud.

I went back at it the next day–nothing! Now every day since then, still nothing. I’m getting the “pee” feelings, feeling orgasmic, relaxed and ready, so I push…little trickles that ultimately smell like urine.

Help!! What am I doing wrong?

Signed,

Looking for G-Spot Ecstasy

Dear Looking,
Thanks for writing to me. First off, congratulations! You ejaculated! Go out and celebrate the reclaiming of your womanhood at age 38, after stopping it all these years because you didn’t know what female ejaculation was! For that is what women do–we unconsciously just stop doing it, because it could be pee or worse. Who knows! We just don’t think about it. I am glad you are proud!

So, that being the case–years of controlling and holding back ejaculate–do you think it is just going to magically spout forth because now we want it to? No! Our bodies are not machines, and most certainly our G-spots are not. Rather, the G-spot is the gateway to higher love and intimacy.

The other problem is feeling “desperate “ Desperation causes pressure. In my book I write that pressure will make you not ejaculate. We don’t want desperate.

Time for a big, deep breath. Relax. Breathe. Treat your G-spot and vagina like tender gold, okay?  Sweet and soft, loving. Slow down. You would not believe how many women I have to advise to slow down!

I would say the urine you initially smelled was because you were perhaps pushing too hard? Without knowing the details, I would say that watching the video–which one was it? I’m assuming it was How to Female Ejaculate: The Workshop–unconsciously helped you to let go.

Letting go is of course the biggest obstacle for women in learning to ejaculate, especially because of the fear of urinating.

You also cannot expect to ejaculate the same “big” way the next day! Your body needs a rest, especially if you are just learning. As men know, if they masturbate too much, they will blow out their prostate glands (that “dull ache deep inside” that men can get is from too much ejaculation).

Therefore, yes, you were getting the pee feelings, and feeling orgasmic, of course, because you are arousing yourself, but then you can’t go any further. I’d say this is because of a combination of 1) it being too soon since you last ejaculated fully, 2) also you’re still new at it and 3) you’re probably trying again too hard and/or too soon to push.

You have to make sure that you take time to build up the arousal, and the best way to do that is to enjoy yourself without wanting to do it too fast. Relax! Take your time. Enjoy the process. Breathe deeply to work up such a big orgasm. This can be a months-long learning process.

In a way, what you described about the “little trickles” could be the perfect description of “clearing out the pipes”!

Big hug for your really great work so far! Next step: celebrate yourself. Second step: slow down, breathe and relax. Please keep in touch, and let me know how it is going.

Let It Flow,

Deborah

New Poll: Is the G-Spot Real?

Monday, July 30th, 2012

Last month, we wondered what your porn style was. Lesbians, anyone?

Check out the porn style poll results.

Nora EphronNot long ago, we overheard a conversation about the G-spot and female ejaculation. Probably when we were mourning Nora Ephron, who wrote the amazing orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally.

Could it be that we were having this conversation all over again?

Does the G-spot exist? Is the G-spot real?

That’s our poll question for this month. Vote now! The poll is Fatale’s home page.

Then tell us what you think.

Until next time, we wish you deliciously hot sex, and plenty of G-spot orgasms, if you believe in them,

Nan and Christi

Spotlight On: Shar Rednour

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

It’s been really, really hot throughout most of the U.S. over the last month or so. Sticky, yucky hot, not sexy hot. The weather is finally breaking, and for that we’re grateful.

For sexy hot, we’ve been gathering our favorite images and playing on Pinterest. Which got us thinking that we should create a sort of corollary for a blog posting we did a little while back, “Butches We Love.”

Why not take a look at some femmes we love?

So here goes, introducing “Spotlight On.”

Shar Rednour by Smeeta Mahanti

Spotlight On:

Shar Rednour, Femme We Love

Shar Rednour is probably best known for her role as the director and head diva of S.I.R. Video, taking the helm and starring in some of the hottest, sexiest porn we’ve seen, including Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels.

She is also the author of the fabulous The Femme’s Guide to the Universe, now available as an e-book.

Femmes Guide to the UniverseHere’s a snip:

“As a child, I perfected the art of making my mom and aunts tell me stories. I now turned my craft onto Susie, Honey Lee, Nan and Debi….

“I wanted to know if Susie [Bright] had always been femme and, if so, had she been ostracized like I had. Did Debi [Sundahl] really teach all the Mitchell Brothers strippers to fist in latex gloves?

Had Honey Lee [Cottrell], a motorcycle-riding, crew-cut sporting bulldagger, ever guessed she’d be pushing a baby carriage through Noe Valley? Nan [Kinney] insisted that all 70s lesbians were not in overalls on communes but some were snorting coke on the dance floors just like the gay boys.

Oh my lovely lessons!”

Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels remains one of Fatale’s bestsellers. Ditto Sugar High Glitter City. Both of these were named “Best Lesbian Porn” by LesbianLife.About.com.

Talk to Me Baby with Shar on TopOn the nonfiction side of things, Talk to Me Baby is a how-to about talking dirty, and it’s really the best there is for exploring seductive bedroom talk.

Healing Sex: The Complete Guide to Sexual Wholeness, which Shar directed and  stars Staci Haines, takes a deep, healing look at trauma, abuse and betrayal.

Perhaps she is best-known for her direction of Bend Over Boyfriend and Bend Over Boyfriend 2. These groundbreaking, critically acclaimed videos changed—and charged—the conversation between men and women.
