I remember the day our first toys from Lelo arrived at the SoHo store, back in my earlier years as a wee Babelander.  We all gathered around to ooh and ahh at the velvety silicone, the perfect curves, the elegant design, the pulsating vibration, and the rechargeable construction of Gigi and Liv.  So pretty!  So well-designed!

Years later, Lelo has become a household name among true sex toy aficionados.  These sex toy pioneers have never wavered in their commitment to gorgeous design and pleasure-giving power, and they’ve continued to refine their designs, offering vibes for every sexual need and desire. Two of my personal favorites:  Siri, one of their newer shapes, is coveted by our staff for its targeted clit vibration and easy-to-hold shape.  (Buy it on sale, paired with Lelo’s gorgeously silky Intima Blindfold, for just $111.20.)  And Elise offers a girthier option than its earlier relative, Liv — if you like just a smidge more from your penetration, Elise is your vibe.

When people talk about feminist pornography, feminist porn is often described as being the expression of women’s fantasies, with the women in control of their own sexual fulfillment and journey. We’ve talked before on the blog about Tristan Taormino’s films and the way they express sexual fantasy in a way that is women-positive and female driven. They’re excellent examples of how women in pornography can be presented in a way that authentic…and hot!

That’s why it’s so exciting that tonight in downtown NYC, Tristan will be celebrating the release of her much-anticipated third Rough Sex film, Rough Sex 3: Adrianna’s Dangerous Mind. This film in the series represents a unique collaboration between Tristan as a feminist pornographer and Adrianna Nicole as an adult film star. For the scenes, Adrianna picked her own co-stars and choose the scenarios based on her own fantasies.

If you happen to be in the NY metropolitan area, you can meet Adrianna Nicole, co-star of the film Jiz Lee, Tristan and other special guests. You can also sip on the signature cocktail of the evening inspired by Adrianna’s favorite toy. Get your free poster signed by the stars, see a sneak preview of the film, and get fabulous, sex-positive gift bags. And all in all win! The event will be held at Fontana’s, which is located at 105 Eldridge Street between Grand and Broome streets. Rough Sex 3 is available in Babeland stores now and on the web at Babeland.com.
