Last Friday marked the 9th annual Feminist Porn Awards organized by Toronto sex toy shop Good For Her. Awards were given out for Heartthrob of the Year, Steamiest Romantic Movie, and new category Best Boygasm (among others). “Trans Grrrls: Revolution Porn Style Now!” was awarded Most Tantalizing Trans* Film and “Lesbian Curves 2: Hard Femme” received Hottest Dyke Film from the FPA judges (the original Lesbian Curves won Hottest Dyke Film at the FPAs last year). For 6 years in a row, a release produced by Courtney Trouble has won a Feminist Porn Award – but 2014 marks the first year where two TROUBLEfilms movies took a trophy home. Performers in each film were encouraged to go on stage with performer/director Trouble and were given space to speak.
“These movies mean so much to me personally,” said Trouble when asked for comment. “I was really happy to share the stage with some of the most amazing women I know. I am grateful and humbled and excited to continue to make groundbreaking work demonstrating the value and desirability of representation”.
The 2014 awards were made by East Bay toy company Fucking Sculptures, who also makes Trouble’s signature dildo, the Double Trouble.
