Two great SFBG interviews: Eon and Lorelei Lee

I know I talk about Eon and his work a lot because he’s a very close friend, and you all know I love Lorelei Lee — but I just wanted to point you to two fresh (and refreshing, informal) interviews in the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s local sex-positive blog SexSF. It’s an amusing blog in general, in case you haven’t checked it out, do; I really enjoy Justin Juul’s Cruising Craigslist: This week’s best personals. Here’s a snip from Eon’s interview — it’s introduced by an overview of altporn so get ready to party like it’s 2005, and yes, they spelled his name wrong in the post title:

SFBG: What makes Vivid Alt different than other kinds of alternative pornography?

EM: The one thing that I see going on with the other people who are producing alt porn that for whatever reason its kind of getting stuck on a very particular look, a look that was… and I don’t want to pigeonhole it too much, but there happens to be this kind of alternative look. There is a certain kind of settling into a look that is looking a little old. I think there are always new subcultures, and you use this term “hipster porn”, and it’s a term I use sometimes, as an aging hipster, there is always new stuff you are getting into and new styles you get into, and its kind of all happening at the same time. I try to make sure Vivid Alt and the stuff that we make as open and as free as that whole process. I’m just not interested in making porn that looks like it’s stuck in 2001. (…read more, sfbg.com)

And here is a snip from Lorelei’s short and bizarrely blunt reader-submitted interview; she’ll be reading locally at the Make-Out Room on Valentine’s Day which sounds like a great date idea to me:

Heather D: Does your vagina/asshole hurt all the time? And if not, what’s your secret?

Lorelei Lee: I do get sore sometimes, but usually it’s my back or my thighs that hurt from doing weird positions like “the squatting reverse cowgirl” or from being pressed up against a desk or a table. As far as insider secrets go, nothing too crazy. I usually do some stretching to warm up my limbs and I just use my fingers to get my ass and vag muscles ready. My fingers and a lot of lube, that is. Some girls bring their own dildos or butt plugs to warm up, but lube is the real key. My job would be a whole lot harder without that stuff! (…read more, sfbg.com)
