open source porn laboratory // sex positive collective

Danke Schoen Missy! We're so excited to tell you that we're in the May 2009 issue of Missy Magazine, an awesome feminist magazine in Germany, and we're even mentioned on the cover! If you're in the part of the world that speaks that sexy german language, then pick up a copy and check us out! It must be a great issue because Peaches is on the cover! If you speak said sexy language, please post some of the translation of the article in a comment here since the google translation is so awful! Click the cover image for more info.

The wonderful folks over at Arse Elektronika already have the mp3s form their conference up on their website! So we can share our talk with you, and we'd love, love, love to have your feedback on it, so post a comment here!

The focus of our talk was on looking at the notion of the real in radical porn, and how deciding what bodies are real and are not may exclude some people. We propose that perhaps we can talk more about power dynamics in porn, as a qualifier of what makes it radical, instead of talking about who is real and who isn't. We propose that porn performers should have complete control and final say over the final product.

But we also said a lot more than that! So give it a look and a listen and let us know what you think!

Its been a long summer day in the city. The street lights glow a soft orange in the alley at midnight and illuminate the sweat on their skin. As J Bird rolls up, Pennyroyal’s face is lit up by her head lamp, showing her inviting gesture for J Bird to join her. J Bird is enticed by her desires to get down in the dumpster. Inside the dumpster their passion for cunt foraging grows. A dirty exploration of a trash fetish and each others sexy bodies.

I think the title is "Free Sex in the Free Web 2.0", and the subheading is something like "The first open source porn laboratory is born in a queer community", but I don't speak italian! If you do, and you'd like to translate the article for us, please leave a comment with your translation! We're very happy to be spreading our queer sexiness in Italy and I want to say thanks to Sergio Messina for interviewing us and writing such lovely things about us! If you're in Italy, you can pick up a copy at your local newsstand!

Ciao, ciao bella!

And, if you're in italy, or anywhere else, and want to submit your photos and join in the fun, email us at gojackoff [At) sharingissexy d0t) org or send us a myspace message. But with all this summer hotness, we're not very quick at replying to messages, so give us a minute to get our clothes on first.

More burlesque! More video! More Kelly Lovemonster!

Join us at Cream Coffee Shop on Saturday, April 26th at 1:30pm for our second show of Sharing is Sexy Radio!

For our 4 shows, we'll be talking about the various parts of our project: queer, open source, porn, collective. Last week we talked about the question of queer and what queer means to us and how we can think of a queer politics.
