Rarely do we get the joy of reviewing something as intriguing and different as queer porn, so we were excited about the opportunity to watch and comment on Reel Queer’s “Seven Minutes in Heaven” by Courtney Trouble. While it was unique, sexy and exciting with a stellar musical score, it was a little low on inspiration and intensity.
Carson was the highlight in front of the camera – her smoldering sultriness came across well on camera and it’s pretty hard not to have a crush on her. The actors were quite openly enthusiastic about having their woman-to-women and queer encounters, and the confessionals before the action were some of the most entertaining moments. The stars had very sexy, queer-next-door looks, and were enchanting and diverse. The range of body-types was VERY refreshing and there was some fun, gender-bending costuming.
The downside was that many of the scenes lacked the kind of sexual intensity that smoldered behind Carson’s eyes. While we appreciate the attempt to expand the genre of porn, Seven Minutes in Heaven felt more like a crossover film done in much the same style as typical porn, catering to a larger audience that needs more genitals than passion or creativity. The best scene by far was the final gangbang scene, which did show passion, creativity and intensity and the women really laid it all out there – pun quite intended – for us to experience and enjoy.
OVERALL:
* An above-average porn film in and a great queer film to boot.
PLUSSES:
As brand ambassador for Good Vibes, I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the “Truth or Dare” game, a simple yet intriguing card game for couples to add some extra passion in the bedroom – or living room. The game is simple and you can start playing immediately – roll a dice, pick a card from the Truth or Dare decks and do what it tells you. The “Truth” cards actually seem to be more compelling, and we slowly gravitated to reading, imagining and sharing more about ourselves from that deck. How much fun can you have? An example “dare” card: “Unlucky for you, little student – it’s been a tough day at school – you’re about to receive a failing grade… Now is your chance to do everything you can to convince your teacher you deserve to pass.” Truth cards sometimes ask to talk out similar scenarios, like describing a plot to your ideal porn movie starring you and your partner. This sometimes leads to redundancy between decks – but who’s really complaining? The immediate benefit is discovery – even those in long relationships will discover something new about their partners, which alone is a great reason to get the game. New couples or friends can even play just with the “truth” deck – we encourage everyone to have this experience!
Pluses:
* Gets you talking: Undiscovered desires and unexplored territory will be covered in a lot of the questions which can lead to pleasant surprises for new and old relationships alike.
* Fun, creative questions – some of the questions even surprised us – which is not easy to do!
* Multi Demographical – aside form the heterosexual imagery of the art on the face of the cards, couples of all sexual orientations can play without a hiccup or re-wording anything.
Minuses:
* Redundancy: There’s lots of redundancy in the questions and dares – you’ll want to be able to pass if you feel like you answered a question or performed a very similar act prior.
* Some Silly Cards: A few of the Truths or Dares are either a little too childish, vague or silly. Again, you can simply mutually agree to “pass”
Overall:
* A fun, simple creative game that will get couples talking (and hopefully much more!) that deserves consideration for a great gift or for a surprise activity on a rainy day.
