PRIDE, PORN, PLEASURE: a queer porn screening and g-spot workshop
Curator/moderator; a film screening presenting the work of queer pornographers Shine Louise Houston and Courtney Trouble, co-presented with Nikki Hearts, Feverhead, Columbus, Ohio
June 3, 2012
ABOUT THE SCREENING:
If we consider pornography to be an archive of human sexual behavior, queer porn makes important social contributions by giving representation to bodies, sexualities, and sex that go otherwise unacknowledged and often disavowed within our society’s mainstream cultural productions. In a society in which bodies/people are identified by markers such as gender, sex, and sexuality; in which rights and value are mediated on the bases of these identifications; and in which media—including pornography—plays significant roles in shaping our perceptions of both ourselves and of others: the production and screening of this material takes on substantial social and political dimensions. This screening offered a sampling of sexy scenes by award-winning filmmakers and performers, followed by a dialogue about the social and cultural relevance of this work and pornography as a productive site of knowledge in addition to its erotic functions.
The screening included scenes from Courtney Trouble/Tina Horn’s QueerPornTV.com with Sophia St. James and Quinn Valentine, Courtney Trouble’s Billy Castro Does the Mission with Billy Castro, and Shine Louise Houston’s The Crash Pad with Jiz Lee and Syd Blakovich.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Staying with the theme of taking pride and finding pleasure in bodies, Nikki Hearts led a g-spot workshop. The workshop covered how to find your and/or your partner’s g-spot, the best positions and products to stimulate it, and focused on the range of pleasures one can achieve.
This event was made possible because of the generous permissions of Shine Louise Houston and Pink and White Productions, and Courtney Trouble and Queer Porn TV, and the support of Queer Behavior.
