I was going to leave this for Peggy to blog; she’s the one who went to Toronto, and she’s the one who brought back the big lucite buttplug trophy (much to the amusement of the Toronto baggage screeners!) But she’s going hammer and tongs with complete redesign of ComstockFilms.com, so I guess that leaves it to me.
Long story short, last Thursday we dropped Peggy off at the airport. A few hours later she was at a pre-event event, a chance to meet the other panelists, and the Good For Her crew. The next night she was up on the dias, giving her take on how our work fits into the feminist porn paradigm. Later that evening MATT AND KHYM: BETTER THAN EVER was named Hottest Love Scene. Many thanks to Good For Her for a great event, and congradulations to the rest of the evenings winners!

One surprising thing, to me at least. I figured they wouldn’t go to the expense of flying Peggy up if they weren’t going to haul her up on the stage to give her an award, but I thought it was going to be DAMON AND HUNTER; as a way of recognizing that a lot feminists love looking at men, especially if there’s more than one of them, naked, kissing and fucking. That’s my wife and most of her friends. But even though there were awards for straight sex scenes, lesbian sex scenes, and even an award for Hottest Trans Scene (Go Shine!), nothing for straight up man-on-man action. I guess women getting off to gay sex is still too avant garde, even for porn-positive feminists. There’s always next year!
