  • Sublime by Carrie Ann

    • Insertion with this toy is wonderful. Thrusting is amazing. It’s girthy yet not huge, filling but not uncomfortable and the bumps and bulges really stimulate the inner labia and vaginal entrance.

Review: Sugar High Glitter City DVD

Published on July 1, 2009 in blow jobs, cunnilingus, cunt, lesbian, porn, reviews, sex, sex toys, shio, squirting, threesome and Uncategorized. 0 Comments

A short while after I came out to myself as bisexual, I started frequenting the Planet Out website. I had a personal ad up that yielded pretty much nothing. (The worst being a three way date where I had the woman I was hot for tell me she was hot for the other woman. *sigh* And thus I remained a girl on girl virgin until I met my first girlfriend while on vacation in late 2001.) I’d look through the lists of gay/lesbian films and rent as many films as I could. But of course I couldn’t find the porn at my local video store. One of those movies was 2001′s Sugar High Glitter City, directed and produced by Jackie Strano and Shar Rednour. I have wanted to see that dvd since it came out, but I rarely buy porn. When Babeland offered it to review I gleefully took them up on the offer. This is my first DVD review – and I wish I had bought it years ago.

The plot is thus (from Babeland’s website):

In Sugar High Glitter City, sugar is outlawed and dykes will stop at nothing to get it…even selling their own bodies. Real-life, full-force, glam-sleazy dyke sex reigns in this real lesbian video with hot dildo action packed throughout. Shot on location in San Francisco and narrated by Honey Lee Cottrell, this is some of the hottest dildo lesbian sex we’ve seen in quite some time. The lesbian sugar fiends stop at nothing to get some! Nominated for AVN Awards for “Best All Girl Sex Scene” and “Best All Girl Feature”. We at Babeland say it wins “Best Chemistry” because you can’t hide the real dyke heat in this one.

Where do I start? Wow! Porn showing safer sex (latex gloves)! (No dental dams though, but to be fair what a dull porn that would be. You wouldn’t be able to see anything.) A wide variety of ethnicities are represented! A variety of body types! No fake tits! Various states of pubic hair. Butch dykes, femmes, and everything in between. Butches on femmes. Femmes on femmes. Butches on butches! Pierced nipples, piercings all over the place. Lots and lots of strap on cocks. Use of lube on sex toys. Lots of women having REAL orgasms! Squirting! This DVD has something for pretty much everyone who likes watching women get it on with women.

The sugar addiction theme pulls the scenes together without getting too much into trying to be a regular movie. (I hate when porn has long bits of non-sex scenes. I watch porn for sex!) The sex is realistic and hot. Unlike faux, hetero “lesbian porn” these women have short fingernails. It drives me nuts when woman on woman porn shows the women fingering each other with long fingernails. Ouch! I want to feel a firm finger against my g-spot and not a pointy nail. Real lesbian sex is so much hotter to watch (as a woman) than “lesbian” porn made to satisfy heterosexual men.

Sugar High Glitter City is approximately 70 minutes.

Ageism and Sexuality

Published on July 1, 2009 in Feminism, musings, sex, sex parties, sexuality and swinging. 1 Comment

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been forced to confront my own ageism. You can’t date (and swing with) someone 18 years your senior without getting a good long look about your ingrained thoughts on aging and sex. We live in a society where older people, particularly older women, are desexualized. A woman past menopause is seen as fairly asexual. And it’s assumed that older men can’t get it up, but they can sometimes be “dirty old men” leering at attractive young women (which is considered kinda gross but expected – at least men get to retain some sex drive!).

What’s up with that? Our sexuality doesn’t automatically turn off at a certain age. I read a letter to Dear Abby a short while ago from a couple in their 80s who are enjoying a robust sex life, and they wanted to know how to keep their kids and grandkids from dropping by unannounced while they’re having sex. I thought this was fantastic. But when I saw a woman, probably in her mid to late 60s at the party we attended last Saturday, I thought (and said to MasterDoc), “Oh my god that woman’s so old!” MD didn’t take kindly to that comment seeing as he’s about 10-15 years away from that woman’s age. I tried to back track, “But, she looks like someone’s grandmother. I don’t expect someone’s grandmother to be at a swing/bdsm party.” He asked me, “Why not?” And I had to pause. Why not indeed?

While this woman’s wrinkled face gave away her age, she was in good shape and fashionably dressed. But even if she wasn’t, why the hell shouldn’t she experience and express her sexuality? Why was I putting her into this category of someone who shouldn’t be at a swing party? (I don’t go around thinking fat people shouldn’t be at swing parties, for instance. Lucky for me, seeing as I’m overweight.) It unfortunately comes down to my unconsciously buying into the societal idea that older people aren’t/shouldn’t be sexual. And there’s an added layer – we perceive older people being sexual as being “disgusting.” Why is that? Jeez, I hope that when I’m older I still have an active sex life. I don’t plan to dry up and wither away at age 60 or something. What is disgusting about an older person receiving pleasure? (We’re taught that only young bodies are attractive and that older bodies are unattractive.) While my brain still puts forth all these ageist ideas, at least now I’m looking at them, and pondering why I think that way and if I really should think that way.

It’s about time we let seniors be sexual. I’m going to work on my own negative reactions and try to overcome the stigma I’ve learned. I don’t expect it to improve over night, but it’s been gradually wearing away over the past couple of years.
