The Shrink Convention

My friend Chris Horne interviewed me about my writing career for an upcoming podcast. During the interview, we discussed writing fiction, and I confessed I hadn't written much fiction lately. I challenged myself to write a short story. He challenged himself to do the same.

You can read my story here.

"The man picked up the colander and placed it on her head. Under the colander, she could hear a low humming that seemed to be coming from the box. Her skull began tingling with what felt like electric shocks. Her eyelids lowered; her hands relaxed on her thighs."

Weird Trends

Weird sex trends at a porn convention? I've got 'em.

"Behind him, foam core boards balanced on easels displayed artistic renderings of a planned 200-room, gated, private, members-only hotel and spa for those who come to Orlando in search of more adult activities than those found at Disney World. One, labeled 'TYPICAL SUITE VIEW,' included two nude women making out on a bed."

Silicone Valley

For my second report on the porn convention and porn awards earlier this month in Vegas, I take a look at some of the ways technology can disrupt the adult movie industry: "Can Silicon Valley Save Porn Valley?"

"In the press room, Mike Kulich — I’d last heard from him when he was trying to get a guy with diphallia to appear in one of his porn movies — was launching Skweezme.com."

Being Trans

"That is not how Vollmann views Dolores. In some ways, Dolores—a woman whom Vollmann controls by virtue of having created her—seems like the logical extension of the sex workers in his previous fiction and nonfiction, who are offered, or offer themselves, for male control. (He has often patronized the hookers he writes about, and once bought—to save her from street life—a Thai teen girl.) 'Dolores belonged entirely to me—was in fact my construct,' he writes, and so he drew her, painted her, dressed her up and did her makeup, and photographed her."

I Get Tweets

@susannahbreslin I doubt you are painting your passion 4 dirty porn with a veil of politically correct. I wonder: why don't you make outing?

Stripper Advice

"As a stripper, I have scads of finicky little costume pieces that are forever getting lost, natch. I live in a shithole with inadequate closet space, and all my drawers are spoken for. Do you all have any creative ideas for keeping my two pieces in one piece, and my skimpy little pseudo-dresses unwrinkled?"

No Privates

This week, I'm doing a series of posts on my Forbes blog on the porn convention and porn awards that I went to last week in Vegas. The first one is: "For Women in Porn, The Personal Is Political and Profitable."

"'I’m not entirely comfortable with the label "feminist porn,"' Stormy announces mid-discussion. 'What does my vagina have to do with it?' she asks the crowd rhetorically. 'Why can’t I just be a great director?'"
