+ Trans porn star Chelsea Poe writes, “I Am A Porn Star Asking the Porn Industry To Stop Using The Term ‘Shemale'”:

“These terms affect trans women in all facets of life from dating to walking down the street to our careers.

These terms are less of a ‘porn issue’ and more an example of a group having difficulty pushing for acceptance while there exists this source of hurtful slur-driven information and terminology pushed by mainstream trans porn against most of the trans community’s wishes.”

+ Director Erika Lust discussed making independent porn for women, getting interested in erotica and feminist porn at Feministing:

“Porn and feminism have always had a love-hate relationship. But as a feminist I believe that feminism should tackle all corners of cultural and artistic expression, which includes pornography. In Linda Williams’s book Hardcore I learned that porn has the ability to not only inspire passions and lusts we never knew we had, but also educate, allowing women to explore their sexuality, embrace it, enjoy it, and to demand our right to sexual pleasure. So we need to stop being only models, actresses, make up artists, production assistants and wardrobe managers! We need more women in leadership roles, as directors, scriptwriters, producers… Then we can create the porn that we want.”

+ Refinery29 has excerpts from Orgasm: Photographs & Interviews:

“‘Orgasm is something that I crave and love to have as often as possible — a few times a day, actually. I’m a squirter — a female ejaculator is I guess what they say, and that makes it extremely enjoyable, not just for me but also for my partner.’ —Amelia, United States”

+ Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi has been arrested for obscenity for the second time. She was trying to crowdfund a kayak modelled on her vagina:

“Igarashi was first detained in July, but was freed days later after an online petition demanding her freedom got thousands of signatures.

‘I don’t believe my vagina is anything obscene,’ Igarashi told reporters at a press conference in July after her release.

‘I was determined I would never yield to police power,’ she added.”

+ Right here on Autostraddle, Coco Layne explained why dating is a bloodsport:

Anyway, at some point in the middle of me going down on this girl, my nose started bleeding and by the time my drunk self had realized that, I had lost a not-okay amount of blood, and it was EVERYWHERE. All over the sheets, my face, her crotch! How the heck was I supposed to tell the difference between various bodily fluids with only the dim flickering of candlelight in a far corner of the room?

+ CNN doesn’t understand how to sext.
