Valentine’s Day gifts tend to have a predictable rhythm that nonetheless is tried and true, oftentimes expected and not at all dreary in that you can be creative, there’s some variation on the themes.
Chocolates? Yes! Flowers? Definitely!
In our experience, it’s what goes with the chocolates and flowers that can take Valentine’s Day from being just another gift-giving holiday to something special and memorable.
With that in mind, we offer five surefire Valentine’s Day gift ideas:
1. Where the Heart Is. The most romantic of all Fatale’s gift sets, this 3-DVD set also has the worthwhile amateur Afterschool Special mixed in. Carolyn Caizzi’s lovely real-life couples come alive in the other videos included in this set. Free Priority Mail shipping in the U.S.
2. Butch/Femme Rules. This 3-DVD set is a mash-up of romance (Special Delivery by Carolyn Caizzi), classic Nina Hartley with the remarkable Miss Sharon Mitchell (Suburban Dykes) and pure lust (Hard Love and How to Fuck in High Heels by Shar Rednour). Free Priority Mail shipping in the U.S.
3. Talk to Me Baby. For an under $30 gift, Shar Rednour’s Talk to Me Baby is perfect for gay or straight, queer or trans, male or female. Everybody should know how to talk dirty, and this is the definitive tape. First class shipping in the U.S. costs only $2.95.
4. Nostalgia. We were talking with an old friend and longtime Fatale Media customer the other day. He told us that his favorite Courtney Trouble video was Nostalgia. We went back and watched it again and were once again simply delighted! This is an excellent video, a queer porn parody starring all manner of lesbians. Under $30, with domestic shipping starting at $2.95.
5. Sugar High Glitter City. If your sweetie has a sweet tooth, this is definitely the Valentine’s Day gift that will satisfy her yearnings.

Sex Tips: Can Porn Help You Know If You’re a Lesbian?
Friday, November 16th, 2012Are 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?
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.
