My piece for the I STAND campaign – Stop weight bigotry, Health at Every Size!

Courtney Trouble — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:11:33 +0000

I STAND FOR LIVING A FULL, FABULOUS, HEALTHY LIFE REGARDLESS OF MY DRESS SIZE!

That’s right folks. I am against weight bullying and believe that the best way to achieve a safer, saner world is to stand up and be proud of who I am and how far I have come from the teenager who thought they were too fat to do anything worthwhile with their life.

I thought i was too fat to be sexy, and now i am an internationally known award-wining adult performer and artist. I range from a size 10 to size 16 and guess what? I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I am a Yoga Addict. I eat nutritional food, and I even work out at a gym. I don’t do these things to loose weight, I do them because they make me feel amazing, physically and emotionally.

My dress size has absolutely nothing to do with my health, and am happy to be be a shining example of fat positivity. Please join me in standing up again body-bashing and other tools people use to make us feel bad about our bodies.

I must give credit to Marilyn Wann for running this I Stand project, A response to Georgia’s misguided and harmful Strong4Life campaign against childhood obesity - as well as my friends Nomy Lamm, and Cookie Tuff for being life long fat-positive role models.

2012 AVN Awards: Historic and GroundBreaking Weekend for Queer Porn: queer and trans visibility on the red carpet, nominations, and very expensive hotel rooms.

Courtney Trouble — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:48:09 +0000

As most of you know, this weekend was the 2012 Annual AVN Awards. In celebration, the QueerPorn.TV cast and crew rented out an enormous two bedroom suit at Planet Hollywood in Vegas to host the largest group of Queer Porn Stars in AVN history! James Darling and Charlie Spats became the first trans men to walk the AVN Awards red carpet in 5 years, preceded only by Buck Angel in 2007. Although we got no wins, Queer Porn as a genre also got tons of recognition through nominations this year, including QueerPorn.TV’s monumental Best Alternative Website nod, making it one of the best weekends in Queer Porn History.

Since QueerPorn.TV was nominated for Best Alternative Website, we made sure to take on the red carpet in style. Babes in our red carpet crew included Sophia St James, James Darling, Maxine Holloway, Tina Horn, Charlie Spats, and Quinn Valentine. Wolf Hudson walked with cutie pie Presley Hart, while Arabelle Raphael and Akira Raine walked with the Burning Angel crew.

We also met a lot of amazing trans women working in the adult industry in Vegas, including BBW transsexual porn star Michelle Austin and porn performer and producer Tobi Hill-Meyer, who spoke alongside Nina Hartley, Sophia St James, and Dylan Ryan at the Smitten Kitten “Future of Sex Ed” Porn Panel.

While AVN as a whole may be focused on the marketability and popularity of heterosexual, cisgendered pornography – the trans men and women in the porn industry are becoming more and more popular and were to be found everywhere at the AVN Awards. It was thrilling to be surrounded by so many expressions of gender and sexuality. The mainstream porn world is the last place you’d look for it, but it’s there just under the surface. And it’s about to explode.

In line with these leaps and bounds in gender expression in the industry, we were super jazzed about James Darling and Charlie Spats being able to follow Buck Angel’s footsteps on the red carpet as the first, second and third trans men and so was Buck, who said “I’m excited to see more trans men in the industry and would encourage other guys who are interested in participating in this field to go for it! Congrats to James and Charlie.”

James told us about his honor as well and the huge leaps made in Queer Porn, “This was my first trip to Vegas and my first time attending a porn awards ceremony. Two films and two websites I’d been a part of had been nominated this year. Buck Angel’s “Sexing the Transman” for best Transsexual and Educational release, Crashpadseries.com “Volume 6: Wide Open” for Best Specialty Release as well as GoodDykePorn.com and QueerPorn.TV for Best Alternative Website. This was a great year for queer porn. While none of these incredible productions took home any awards that night, I was gifted a very special opportunity. I was able to walk the red carpet at AVN alongside friends and many industry professionals I have long respected, lusted after and admired. I would never in a million years have dreamt that this would be my life!

“While getting to walk the red carpet was a huge honor to me, I didn’t realize until the day of the awards that this would be the second time a transsexual male porn performer has ever walked at the AVN Awards! Buck Angel walked with his wife in 2007, the same historic year he won TS Performer of the Year. He has always been a huge inspiration to me and for so many in and out of the porn world… The world of porn is changing, if there was any time for transsexual men to be acknowledged in the adult industry, that time is now. I think the industry and porn audiences everywhere are ready for something new. I think it’s time transsexual men received some respectful, hard-earned recognition for the hot, sexual beings we truly are!”

Canadian trans man Charlie Spats also attended the AVN Awards as a performer of QueerPornTV, a blogger for Good Queer Porn, and as the sole representative of Good Dyke Porn, a Vancouver-based queer porn company also nominated for Best Alternative Website. On his first experience to AVN he said, “The AVN Awards are weird. Both the show and Vegas in general are entirely artificial environments that reflect the polar opposite of what queer porn is all about. But the advantage to being in a space like that is that it brings us Queers closer together, and reminds us all how important our work is. All of us went home filled with new inspiration and collaborative ideas!”

Vegas was a blast and such a great stride forward for the faces and names in queer porn. As Tina Horn said on QueerPorn.TV’s blog, “We stood together as a community, as a unified front of strong-willed, open-minded, sex positive people going against the grain of the industry.” That in itself is an awesome win, and we truly had a blast.

Porn These Days

Courtney Trouble — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:13:31 +0000

This is the name and the first issue of my newest series of blog posts about porn that’s been posted and I want to share with you in the past week, or month, or so. I called it “Porn These Days” as a play on the saying “ohhh, kids these days” since I’m becoming an old porn mama – and also because I’m horrible at blogging and don’t know how often I will get to write this column.

So, PORN THESE DAYS.

1. No Fauxxx.

Over the holidays I quietly updated the look of NoFauxxx.Com, which is now officially in it’s tenth year of operation. Wow. Ten years. I will be doing a lot of nostalgic day dreaming and reminiscing this year, but for now, I want to talk about the future. The new design seemlely joins the free public side and the member’s area, with a fully functioning search feature (for those of you who don’t like the way I love surprising you with whatever kind of body and sex act and theme and format I feel like… now you can easily find your particular interests… but please, search with caution!!!). Featured Photosets, Featured Foxes (models) and tons and tons of free videos and photos…. and not only are the Fox files (model bios) back in full effect, but new exclusive content will be rolled out all year long including hot new stars like Arabelle Raphael.

No Fauxxx Update: Arabelle Raphael on the Red Couch!

Ooooohhhhhh Arabelle you are so sexy! Your tits, as you say on twitter, ruin lives! Your ass, your feet, and your huge gorgeous eyes are doing all the right things to our crotches, too! OH and, we’ve been getting to know you and we’ve got to say… you’re just plain awesome. Thank you for stripping out of your street clothes for us!

No Fauxxx Update: Jiz Lee and Kelly Shibari

I am also putting up favorite unseen footage and photoshoots from the past ten years, really good stuff that I’ve been hoarding to myself just waiting for the right moments. This photoset can be found on JizLee.Com under their Karma Pervs paysite that benefits various charity groups – but now can also be seen by No Fauxxx members.

2. Fuckstyles (of the Queer and Famous)

As you may have heard, I started my own DVD and web porn production company TROUBLEfilms in 2011. Fuckstyles is the second release on the line. Its basically a hard core mix tape, re-envisioning director’s edits from QueerPorn.TV’s most beloved scenes, including James Darling and Wolf Hudson, Jiz Lee and Papi Coxxx, Maggie and Ned Mayhem, And April Flores’s solo scene. There are seven scenes on the DVD, shot in glorious HD by myself and QueerPorn.TV co-director Tina Horn.

We gathered our favorite queer porn stars together to make a hard core porno mix tape just for you! We gave these babe complete freedom to be their nasty selves, and they gave usrough sex, double penetration, anal sex, pussy eating, blow jobs, strap ons, finger banging, squirting, POV, masturbation, doggy style, romance.. andloads and loads of real orgasms!! This is the kind of sex queer porn celebrities love to have – and you get to watch! This DVD has it all: cool queer babes, gushing wet orgasms, and great chemistry!

DVD OUT FEBRUARY 1ST 2012 - Wholesale and Press: info@troublefilms.com

3. QueerPorn.TV

Well, we got nominated for Best Alternative Website by the AVN Awards. We are pretty excited about it!!! It’s by far my biggest year at AVN, as I will be hosting the Queer Porn Suite at Planet Hollywood (We have a HOT TUB!) and will be scampering down the red carpet with as many queer porn stars as we can fit in the limo….

But that’s the real world. On the internet QueerPorn.TV is full of new content, clips, and commotion!

Sophia St James on a Fucking Machine.

There sure is a lot of fucking machine porn out there. But guess what? None of it stars the sexiest queer femme of color on the planet, Sophia St James. She saw this on set for a different scene and had to try it out. We’re just lucky she’s an exhibitionist!

4. Queer Porn Tube:

My newest baby QueerPornTube is a free, community driven site where users can upload their own home made porn and discuss it with fans, friends, and admirers. I have my own personal channel over there, and just tonight made this scene with my babe Drew Deveaux public for all (it was a twitter fan exclusive for a while.)

Exhibitionism for the Shy, in praxis.

Courtney Trouble — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:11:22 +0000

From Carol With Love

“Exhibitionism for the Shy is the theory, Live Sex Show is the praxis… xox Carol Queen”

I read Exhibitionism for the Shy when I was “eighteen” and it changed my life. It informed my decision to be a phone sex operator, a burlesque dancer, and eventually a porn star.

When Carol said the above quote in front the tonight’s audience for the Live Sex Show premiere, a wave of emotions came over me. To use one million cliche’s, my heart skipped a beat. I was speechless. I felt a cyclical, generational, evolutional connection.

I owe my first TROUBLEfilms release to Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence. Thank you for trusting me with your brilliant idea of filming a porn film in front of a live audience. That you like the finish product makes me so. fucking. proud.

Buy Live Sex Show. Buy Exhibitionism for the Shy. Find out more about the Center for Sex and Culture.

Courtney Trouble — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:52:03 +0000

Looks like I will be going to Vegas again for the AVN Awards, since my new porn site QueerPorn.TV was nominated for Best Alternative Website!

The performers on QueerPorn.TV have gone above and beyond to create the hot scenes exclusive to this site and are the real stars here. Big stars like Jiz Lee, Dylan Ryan, April Flores and Wolf Hudson; sex education specialists like Papi Coxxx, Tobi Hill-Meyer, and Maggie Mayhem; and amateur exhibitionists like Crybaby and Cola – and all the rest of you – we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this site the winner it’s become.

THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING BIG. Our plans our to book a suite at a hotel close to the awards ceremony and host at LEAST eight of the performers on QueerPorn.TV, so we can round them all up and go down the red carpet and represent! This event also gives these stars a chance to meet other performers, producers, and directors, which may lead them to future work for other companies – and we want to support them in that!!!

We need about $600 total to make this happen, and that’s on top of what we are financially able to contribute ourselves, and a $100 donation from a few of the traveling porn stars.

If you are a business, you can be an official sponsor with a donation of $100-$600. We will give you a free ad on QueerPorn.TV for a few months, list you in our blog as an official sponsor, thank you and pimp you out on Twitter and Facebook, and invite you to a dinner with us during the trip.

If you are a FAN and would like to help us get there, you can help buy getting a membership to QueerPorn.TV right now, or buy a special signed DVD and print from me right now!

The Official Press Release:

QueerPorn.TV Nominated for Best Alternative Website, AVN Awards 2012

Feminist Porn Award Winner for Best Site, QueerPorn.TV, celebrates one year birthday with AVN nomination for Best Alt Site

These intimate interviews delve into topics ranging from performing in porn, exhibitionism, kink, gender ﬂuidity, and sexual appetite, allowing the user to access the stars of their favorite porn in a whole new way.

“After existing for only one year, we are shocked and thankful for the accolades we have been given,” said the honored co-creator of the site, Courtney Trouble. “We can’t tell you how hard we have worked to bring you top shelf pornography that showcases authentic sexual expression and sex-positive porn making practices.”

Their gratitude doesn’t stop there.“We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this site the winner it’s become,” says Courtney.

This nominations isn’t QueerPorn.TV’s first. Last year they were a winner of a Feminist porn award for Best Site, which happened within six-months of its launch. AVN marks new ground. On their nomination, Courntey remarks, “To this day, no queer porn project has won an actual AVN award, but we are excited to be a part of the game again.”

Courtney Trouble is a rising star performer pegged as the “Queer Porn Icon” for creating the juicy, raw, and authentic pro-amateur genre of “Queer Porn” a movement known for it’s unscripted, untouched, and diverse portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual men and women, including trans men, trans women, and genderqueer identities.

This is Courtney’s second site. She started NoFauxxx.Com as a 19 year old photographer and web designer, with the purpose of creating an indie porn site that was authentic, empowering, and all-inclusive. She soon found herself as one of the founders of the queer porn movement, setting the stage for all that was to come.

Tina Horn is a BDSM-professional, kink educator, queer pornographer, sex writer, and all-around macho slut. Tina has been practicing professional domination, submission, and fetish and fantasy exploration for over four years in the Bay Area, Manhattan, and Toronto. With Courtney Trouble, she co-created QueerPorn.TV, which she describes as a “documentary of modern transgressive sexuality masquerading as a hardcore porn site.” Her erotica has been published in numerous Cleis Press anthologies, her reportage on sex culture has been showcased on the website Carnal Nation, and her critical theory of sex work in AORTA magazine and Whore! magazine.

Courtney Trouble and Jiz Lee: Give the Dog a Bath!

Courtney Trouble — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:40:04 +0000

A new video of me is up now at NoFauxxx.Com!

“Trouble’s a dirty, dirty puppy. Jiz Lee has no choice but to throw her in the bath and wash her from the inside out! Combining two of our favorite queer kins, puppy play and water impact, this scene ends in a wet, slippery climax, with Trouble panting for more from her dominant genderqueer dog-sitter!”

That’s what they are saying on No Fauxxx! It’s true… I am a dirty puppy. I love me some puppy play. Especially when it’s mixed with water bondage, rope, and hard fucking. I squirted gallons in this scene but you can’t see it, I’m covered in water!

It was really cold water, too. Jiz had no intention of letting me fake even a second of that shivering, wimpering, water torture. God, and how good does Jiz look in this scene? Yum! I love the strap on that they let me suck on like a dog toy, slurping with enthusiasm!

Anyways. Check out No Fauxxx to watch me get fucked by Jiz Lee and play a bad, bad little puppy.

—————

Courtney Trouble Launches TROUBLEfilms.Com, announces new DVD titles, and adds Producer to her resume

Courtney Trouble — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:23:30 +0000

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Courtney Trouble, pegged as the “Queer Porn Icon” for creating the juicy, raw, and authentic pro-amateur genre of “Queer Porn” has launched her production company, simply titled TROUBLEfilms.

Queer Porn is a movement known for it’s unscripted, untouched, and diverse portrayal of lesbian, gay, bisexual men and women, including trans men, trans women, and genderqueer identities. Queer porn also includes heterosexual performers, maintaining the idea that sex-positive porn can be inclusive of everyone, and can be watched by anyone! Trouble has worked with stars like Nina Hartley, Madison Young, Kimberly Kane, Lorelei Lee, Wolf Hudson, Dylan Ryan, Jiz Lee, Billy Castro, James Darling, Drew Deveaux, April Flores, and Courtney Trouble herself is a rising star performer, most know for her appearances in Shine Louise Houston’s “Champion” and Carlos Batt’s “Artcore.”

“The launch of TROUBLEfilms is the culmination of ten years of working with adult entertainment,” says the excited new producer, Courtney. “This is a home for my own creative freedom. Diverse casting and realistic sex, be it heterosexual, girl/girl, gay, or queer – is the future of porn and I am happy to be at the forefront of this movement!”

On Courtney’s style, Carnal Nation says “[she is dedicated] to following her mission of making films that allow the genuine sexual desires of each performer to emerge…alt porn for her isn’t simply about perfect bodies with beautiful tattoos. For her, the term “natural” represents an attitude or, as we in California like to say, a natural energy.”

Trouble has taken the name she has built creating NoFauxxx.Com, QueerPorn.TV (co-directed by Tina Horn), and directing 11 Feminist Porn Award-recognized (and three AVN nominated) films, and added on syndicated online porn and new full-length XXX titles all pulled together under the roof of Trouble Films.

Courtney is also planning on adding new variety to her films. “I am excited to continue working with my favorite performers, but plan on nurturing my current paysites by branching out into different genres online, including more heterosexual, kink, and trans content. I am also planning at least 4 full length titles for DVD and VOD in 2012. These films will speak to a large audience and be queer- and female-friendly, blending authenticity, ethics, and art with high production and professional shooting standards.“

When talking about Courtney, Lux Alptraum of Fleshbot sings her praises. “If the future is like this, the future can’t come soon enough.”

We sure can’t wait to see what that future holds. According to TROUBLEfilms.Com, a boundary-breaking film by Trouble’s QueerPorn.TV legacy is soon on it’s way.

The first film to be released by TROUBLEfilms is Live Sex Show, directed by Courtney Trouble and starring Nina Hartley, Jiz Lee, April Flores, Tina Horn, and Trouble in a 5-girl gangbang. This film is available for wholesale exclusively through TROUBLEfilms; please contact info@troublefilms.com to place an order.

TROUBLEfilms will be releasing a QueerPorn.TV feature film DVD in February 2012, and expects to release 4 more DVDs in 2012.

Press and wholesale inquiries, please contact info@troublefilms.com.

portrait of a porn party

Courtney Trouble — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:10:19 +0000

Photo Caption: I don't know everybody in this photo but from the left, the people I do know are: me, Tristan Taormino, Jiz Lee, Ned Mayhem, Alison, Reid, Arabelle Raphael, James Darling, and Maxine Holloway.

i hosted an informal gathering at the Lexington Club last night for Tristan Taormino and her new book Take Me There (a trans and genderqueer erotic anthology) and of course, a ton of porn stars, sex geeks, writers, and muses showed up. we screened Live Sex Show and Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind on the Lexington’s big screen television, ate cupcakes, and talked about gender and porn. There were quite a few trans women there and I was excited to see them in the Lexington Club, a place that has felt pretty devoid of trans femininity in the past 6 years that I’ve been going there. There were also a lot of genderqueer (a gender identity outside of the male/female gender binary and heteronormativity) folks, and something else you don’t see at the Lexington every day – queer men making out on the dance floor. (You know who you are!!!). Throughout the course of the party, I just kept looking around at everybody there and feeling overwhelmingly grateful for all of these different kinds of ways we all live our lives. Thinking about how small my community is compared to the rest of the “GLBT” umbrella – a term I’ve long felt disconnected from, as I think we all do as queer-identified “outsiders.” Thinking about how important it is that we keep coming together in these kinds of ways, at all-gender parties. I know a lot of people find safety and comfort in “women only spaces” or “men only spaces.” I find myself the safest and most comfortable in all-gender spaces, or better yet, non-gendered spaces entirely. And you know where I, perhaps contradictingly and for sure serendipitously, always seem to find the best non-gendered safe spaces? At porn parties.
