egtalAs a sex educator, I'll be the first to admit that I have a complicated relationship with porn. One thing that every sex educator knows is that people watch porn to learn how to have sex. Sometimes, this can be a great idea. If you want to figure out new positions or get ideas for ways to talk dirty or play out a fantasy, porn can be a fantastic resource. If you want to learn the proper way to really lick a clitoris, however, most porn is not going to give that to you. In fact, I often find myself correcting common misconceptions (all women have orgasms from penetration, everyone should change positions every 2 minutes) that I feel certain come from porn viewing. The porn industry puts a lot of hot and sexy material out into the world but they also feed into myths that we all carry around with us.Vivid, one of the biggest porn companies in the industry, has just launched a new site called Vivid-Ed. As I'm sure you can tell by the name, it's sex ed from the porn industry. I would be amazed if this had sprung up all on its own but if you take thirty seconds to look around the website, you'll see that in fact, Tristan Taormino is behind it all. Tristan has long been a force for good sex education outside of the porn industry and worked at Babeland way back when. Tristan has built her success on making sex education just about as sexy as it can be and since Vivid has helped make some of her most recent films, this partnership looks like it should be fruitful.Look for a lot of anal sex related topics on Vivid-Ed - that's Tristan Taorminio's specialty. Check out her first film, The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women and House of Ass, one of her newer releases.
