2011 6th Annual Feminist Porn Awards Winners Announced

Via AVN
TORONTO—The sixth annual Feminist Porn Awards ceremony took place Friday night at Berkeley Heritage Events Venue in Toronto. According to Xtra.ca, which was on the scene, the event was marked by its determination to expand the way people think about masculinity in both feminism and porn.

“The night featured a menu of porn that went further, harder, deeper and faster than ever before,” wrote Regan McClure for the site. “An erotic eye for masculinity was on the agenda in a bigger way and, as you’d expect from feminist pornographers, that move is part of a broader push to shake up the porn establishment.”

McClure spotlighted Shine Louise Houston, the creator of the dyke series crashpad, who won an award for Honored Website for her new site, heavenlyspire, which features male performers in videotaped couples and solo scenes. Houston said the site was a selfish endeavor, explaining, “I really just wanted to explore my own fascination with cock.”

McClure also spoke with Drew Deveaux, winner of the FPA heartthrob award, who told her she wanted to see more Feminist Porn Award categories that “acknowledge feminist subjectivity with respect to gay male porn.”

She added, “The bedroom is the last frontier of social justice. There are many genres of porn where people are making hotter and more realistic depictions of sex. That’s in gay male, mainstream and t-girl porn too.”

McClure also spoke with genderqueer porn star Jiz Lee, who expects to see more masculinity rather than less in feminist porn.

“Trans men are respected as men and included in gay porn and masculine representations … but feminist porn isn’t about getting people to identify as feminists; it’s letting people see how these values reflect their own,” Lee told McClure.

Perhaps it all just speaks to an ever-evolving (i.e. elusive) definition of what it means to be a feminist, if one definition could ever fit the bill.

“Mixing in trans men, trans women, genderqueer performers and a whole lot of dick, ass, pussy, mouth, sex toys and imagination is a whirlwind determined to redefine your ho-hum porn experience,” McClure wrote, concluding, “and there’s plenty more where that came from.”

The New Crossover – Queer Nation

via our friends at xBiz

What ‘s commonly thought of as a move from hardcore to mainstream movies, the term “crossover” is taking on a whole new meaning in adult as a new breed of “queer” performer is changing the face of porn.

Not exclusively straight nor gay, queer talent can’t be defined by any type of sexual act or even common sexuality.

Dylan Ryan is not who most of us think of when we hear the words “porn star.” Five-foot-nine with a willowy, boyish frame and austere features that might best be described as “handsome” she brings to mind the brainy, slightly too-tall chick from college you secretly wanted to fuck. Art deco photographers from the ‘30s would have no doubt worshipped her brooding, androgynous sex appeal; but this is 2010, and it’s porn we’re talking about. The prototype here is a hot, skinny, blonde with zeppelin-like breasts and ersatz tan who answers to the name “Jenna.”

Yet during what is arguably the worst dry spell in adult film’s history, Ryan’s unlikely star is on the rise. Mainstream porn studios Vivid, Sweet Sinner and Naughty America often book the Canadian starlet weeks in advance for their high-profile feature and gonzo films. Ryan now frequently travels from her home in Toronto to Porn Valley, USA, to satisfy the growing number of requests to shoot her.

“There’s something sexy about her,” a 30-something male fan sporting an MMA Affliction t-shirt told me as we watched Ryan accept her trophy for “Stud of the Year” at the 2009 Feminist Porn Awards. “She seems … different.”

“Different” may be too simple a word to describe the 29 year-old Ryan, who holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work and studied literature and philosophy as an undergrad. Because even more unusual than her unorthodox looks and impressive education is that, along with fellow performers Jiz Lee, Wolf Hudson, and Drew Deveaux, Ryan represents a new breed of porn star that some industry watchers have dubbed “The Queer Mafia.”

“I identify as a queer, cis-gendered* female,” Ryan says in a surprisingly sweet, girlish voice. “But my queer identity is pansexual, which means I have sex with people of all genders and sexualities.”

Cis-gendered. Transgender. Gender-queer. Not quite sure what these terms mean? Well, you’re about to learn. Ryan and performers like her aim to challenge our beliefs on gender, sex, and eroticism. Because they can. They have our attention. In fact, we can’t take our eyes off them.
