So I’ve got this blog post in my drafts that’s called Sex in Europe. It’s a more in depth post about my trip to Amsterdam and Berlin, and some thoughts about how sexuality and visual culture (yes, that’s porn and stuff) combine and clash in different ways in Europe vs the United States. Uh, the post isn’t up yet, and I’ve been back in NYC for two weeks. Such is the shape of my life these days.
But I thought I’d give a preview of the good stuff. No reason to keep this to myself.
First, this:
The beautiful woman in this trailer is Murielle Scherre, the brains behind the Belgian lingerie company Le Fille d’O. Her first film, ‘J’fais dus porno et j’aime ça’ (info in Dutch) is being released tomorrow with a special issue of Belgian sex-positive mag Goedele. As she described it to me last month over late night mint tea on my last night in Amsterdam, the film is a series of sexy vignettes, all of which are from 1 to 10 minutes long. And there are more than 20 of them. This is not porn of the 5 scenes of 20 minutes each in 5 positions and a facial pop variety. Oh no. This is another beast entirely, featuring hot Europeans romping with friends and lovers. Deeper thoughts to come in my full Sex in Europe post. For now, know this: Murielle and her brain are very sexy.
And then, there is Emilie Jouvet’s One Night Stand. I spent some quality time with Emilie and the other Queer X tour ladies while I was in Berlin, and when I got back to Amsterdam, my lovely hostess Jen Lyon Bell pretty much forced me to take home a copy of Emilie’s movie. Having gotten rather massively burned out on porn from several years of working in the biz, not to mention scouring the internet for smut to write about on Fleshbot and Naked City, I have seriously burnt out on watching porn. With the exception of watching movies at film festivals, I haven’t been watching porn at all since I stopped doing Naked City a year ago. And this movie makes me really want to watch it. The last scene, which has screened at a few porn festivals as “Red Fetish Bathroom” is thoroughly impressive. Leave it to hot French lesbians to get me inspired.

Murielle is smokin, but where can I get some ’O? I asked around and the most mysterious response I received was “you wont find la fille d’O in the candy store. we are mighty sweet but real candy is a well kept treasure.”
