Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter

With dreams of becoming a highly respected screenwriter, Eric Spitznagel moves to Los Angeles. When Hollywood fails to notice him, he settles for the next best thing: writing scripts for adult films. Determined to make the most of his bad luck, he sets out to make a movie that will be celebrated more for its witty dialogue and gripping plot than its raw depictions of hardcore sex. As Spitznagel discovers, making the Great American Porn is far from easy, especially when you’ve been hired to write a sequel to Butt Crazy.

For religious types that try to abstain from porn on Sundays, here’s a loophole: And Adam Knew Eve: A Dictionary of Sex in the Bible.

Eros Ezine has an interview with Rachel Kramer Bussel – editor of the previously mentioned Naughty Spanking Stories.

Rachel is also a senior editor for Penthouse.

I noticed a couple of interesting new books over at Amazon today:

First Hand: An Erotic Guide to Fisting. The only review at Amazon is from the author, but this might be worth picking up just for the cover.

And then there is this one:

Sex & Death In Television Town – A band of hermaphrodite gunslingers fight for their lives in a desert infested with crispy black demons. Along with a motley collection of survivors (including a sex-crazed female samurai modified to resemble a bipedal stegosaurus) they take refuge in the only safe haven left: Telos . . . a strange town near the end of the world, where the citizens have televisions instead of heads.

A Piece of CAKE is a new book out there on female sexuality (the fun kind, not the women’s lib men are crap kind). There is even a blog for the book at the Cake NYC site.

Below is a synopsis:

CAKE has the answers for women who want to explore and express their sexuality. Help yourself to A Piece of Cake, and get the dish on body image, fantasies, masturbation, vibrators, porn, orgasm, female ejaculation, partner sex, dirty talk, exhibitionism, casual sex, sexual identity, power dynamics, and threesomes — all the ingredients for female sexual pleasure!

Varney the Vampyre: Restoration Punk is an online adult graphic novel that features Jessica Jaymes (Hustler contract star), with a new episode each month. Its an interesting site, but the art isn’t as good as I would have expected.

Whipped : 20 Erotic Stories of Female Dominance is a new erotic book from Carol Queen (of Good Vibrations fame).

The book is a collection of 20 short stories of female domination, and includes a DVD with a documentary film also called ‘Whipped’. Here is a description of one of the stories.

In Marcy Sheiner’s X-rated take on the Cinderella story, “Down in the Cinders,” Cinderella really, really likes her housework – and won’t marry her prince until he learns to be a dom.

Chapter 2 of Phil Freeman’s online serial adult novel – titled Adult is now online.

If you missed our mention of Chapter 1, you can find it here.

Freelance journalist, Phil Freeman is releasing his first novel, ‘Adult’ in serial form on a blog.
Here’s a summation of the story:

On June 1, Bruce Campbell (of Evil Dead / Army of Darkness fame) released his 2nd book – Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way.

The book is a work of fiction, but Bruce is the main character who gets cast in a movie with Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger – and then things go wrong.

No word on whether he trades in that chainsaw arm for a dildo in the sex scene though.

Installment #11 of Porn Happy has been put online.

The Vivid Comix website has been updated with some preview art from two of the storylines from their first issue. Below is some of the art from the ‘Dry Heat’ storyline. The comic is priced at $14.99.

Well of course we do! And now, there’s a whole book to tell us why its OK with Jesus for us to look at nudie pix. It Isn’t A Sin For Christians To Enjoy Erotica And Nudity In Films (gets right to the point, no?) is 52 pages of reasons reassurance that we aren’t going to hell for looking at Krystal Steal’s breasts or Tera Patrick’s butt. I’m so relieved.

2005 Nude Kansas Anarchists Calendars are now available. Need I say more.

I didn’t think much of it when I saw that The Surrender had been released a few weeks back, but after reading the NY Observer review and particularly this interview with the author [Salon premium content], I’m going to have to get my hands on a copy. The book is a memoir of former dancer Toni Bentley’s sex life after getting divorced and how she came to enjoy the love that dare not speak its name – anal sex – and how it led to God.

This act took me to a place emotionally and mentally that I would call of a spiritual realm. The best way to say it is that I went beyond my own ego, and most of us are mired in ego 24/7: all the constant self-criticism, self-love, self-loathing.

While having this kind of sex [with A-Man] I went beyond this voice in my head and beyond all control. And I write in the book, beyond control lies God.

Giving up control is a profound thing. Who you do it with and the context of it is crucial. I transcended my own smaller, pettier self, transcended my own self-hatred, incredible neediness, incredible need for approval. I went beyond that and was kind of like free-floating in space or something. That is what I call the experience of God.

Just flipping thru some IMDB entries and noticed this little tidbit from American Psycho.

The first porn movie Bateman is watching is White Angel (1998).

Note it says the ‘first’. Its been a while since I’ve re-read American Psycho, but now I’m gonna have to thumb back thru it to see what other videos are mentioned. Suprisingly, you can still buy this title from Empire.
