i really loved how she took folks who were not mainstream boring old cookie-cutters, and showed them to us in a deliciously extravagant light. and sometimes so simple it was just edible. some of those gals there i wouldn't think twice of passing them on the street, but in the light she painted them, i thought again. there's beauty in everyone, is what those photos said to me.

I agree about your skill as a photographer, when I wrote my review I meant to break down the video section but I was so impressed by the photos that I ended up writing almost entirely about the photography instead.

I teach photography for a company here in the Bay Area (outdoor photography I admit, but the fundamentals are the same) and going through your photos reads like an Art Photography basics textbook. Your photos do all the right things and do them so well that they work in a complete set or as standalone pieces of art. I am thankful for the opportunity to have seen so much quality photography in such a short time. Thank you

it is an interestin gpoint of view although i have to say, as a fat person, that i think that thin, and surgically-altered people, are still "real" - especially if you can put them in sexual situations where they can be themselves. the point is to see beyond size and see a greater spectrum of kink, sexuality, gender 0- that goes beyond the classifications given in MOST sources of media!

More authentic. "Mainstream" porn tends to fake orgasms, and moan just because they think it sounds good. It doesn't sound good, it sounds fake.
Yes. There was no faking and that was tremendously refreshing.

Indie porn is a good one. Alt, too.

"Real" often has to do with real bodies, which often means a diversity of bodies. I kind of hate that, since my girlfriend has enhanced breasts, and they're real, too! But that's usually what people mean. Also, real couples, and/or realistic orgasms.

Both!!! The majority of porn has little skinny girls with fake boobs (not that I'm knocking that 'cause I watch that too... happily!) But yours has "models" that are true to themselves... they are proud of what they are and who they are. They don't fake and have you looking for the "eye roll of boredom" half way through. They are proud of the ink, the piercings, the choices and aren't going to apologize. They take all of this and make wonderful scenes with real passion! I can't speak for everyone but this is what I want to see! I don't want to watch 2 girls "pretend" to fool around because it turns guys on... I wanna see 2 people fool around because it turns THEM on!

that's awesome. i'm really glad that more people are seeing gender as a spectrum instead of two automatic, permenant, things.

agreed about thin, altered people being real, but the porn scenes aren't. Mainstream porn is the same scene. over and over again. and none of the women actually seem as if they are really orgasm-ing.

But thats what I mean, they get work done to make a buck.. Also agree with the others, fake moaning and fake orgasms are not a turn on. Its like they put men/women in some of the porn that they think will appeal without actually thinking about what truly appeals to most.

I'm always drawn to that more artistic shooting style. So many porn DVDs you see it's just bodies and photoshop all up on the cover. But it's that erotic nicely designed imagery that ropes me in, as well as queer and BBW styles. Images of ladies with attitude where it's clear that they're fully handling their own sexuality.

for me porn is not reality because that kind of sex is not so realistic, also the folks in them are acting for the most part, and alot of times their bodies are fake in one way or another.

and folks' desires are much more broad than the vanilla hetero shit that has characterized the porn industry for far too long. so i'd say real in both senses of the word. in many senses, really!

I think the scenes are real in that the performers (not actors in my view) are really working on bring pleasure to one another.....and we just get to be in the room with them.

Yep, you've seen 1 porn, you've seen them all, which is why I never buy porn. But THIS has changed EVERYTHING for the better!

I'm so glad you were able to get us some non-mainstream porn this time. It's so nice to have some more realistic stuff, with more variety.

I think it's more the fact that mainstream porn industry wants us to believe that the Barbie body is what porn is about. Rather, I think more of us think that porn is more about the chemistry, the passion, regardless of body type. We just associate the two when that's probably not fair to individuals who really do have that body type.

Ooh one more thing, I'm a huge fan of Bust magazine and I think that a bunch of the ladies who read that would be into your work. They run a sex advise column by Carol Queen and always have erotica and a few porn adverts in the back.

I don't know that that is entirely true. I'm sure that there is some mainstream porn, that aside from the stress of being directed, and the technical aspects of it "looking good" are having honest enjoyable experiences, and truly want to be there. Granted, this is likely not the norm, but I have a hard time believing that it is NEVER the case

I agree. I really love seeing the difference between unscripted sex and scripted sex. The orgasms were stronger and the passion was really there. I would love to see more porn movies like this.

Take, for instance, Buck Angel. I love him (but I hate his movies, because they are so poorly done) because of his gender-bent body and pride. My idea of heaven would be him in one of your movies, because you have what it takes to make an awesome movie I would actually want to see.

I have known all my adult life that there are a myriad of genders... and eventually, that the world would come to realize that face.

I love that magazine as well. I have some contacts there. What would be GREAT is if all of you can call your favorite magazines, porn stores, et cetera and say "GET COURTNEY TROUBLE" because customer requests is what gets me in places.
