Our newest CrashPad episode stars the return of Venus Selenite. We invited our team of sexual health educators, sex bloggers, and porn geeks to share their thoughts about the solo sex scene, which features the use of a Mio vibrating ring and a mirror. Let’s see what they had to share.

But first… a moment to swoon over our star!

I MEAN LOOK AT THAT SMILE! — trashyfemme

Queer perspectives in media, including ADULT media, is important!

“The world needs to be more aware on the importance of porn — especially from different queer perspectives, especially from trans perspectives… I do porn because I'm Needed.” ~ Venus Selenite

As a team member of #diversebodiesprokect, I recognize that when you don't see yourself reflected, you can feel invisible, wrong, and sometimes question whether you count. Thank you Venus for not only creating mirrors but for showing us how to create our own! — Yael Rosenstock (she/her)

Make the time for self love

Before I start the actual CrashPadSeries review… Venus I LOVE the waist beads! I really appreciate the time and care Venus takes with vir body and masturbation. What a great reminder to take time for ourselves and WITH ourselves. #selfcare #masturbation — Yael Rosenstock (she/her)

Also Venus highlights in this episode just how important solo play is. Often even with the best partner(s), we can still feel the need to perform. Solo play can be freeing from all of the expectations and just be exploration. — Amanda Hobson

Lube is Love

Lube, lube, lube. Yes Venus in CrashPad episode 292!

So important, especially when circumcised and trying to avoid friction. #lube #masturbation #nofriction — Yael Rosenstock (she/her)

Wow! I never thought to use lube on breasts! I’ve tried oils, but I wonder if lube is just as messy? ?

You need to watch this to just listen to Venus moan alone. I’m a sucker for it! — •• trashyfemme

Mirror as a Sex Toy

It’s time for a new #SexEdPornReview with CrashPad episode 292 feature the ever stunning Venus Selenite with a lovely solo exploration that begs the question what can be a toy for play? #ethicalporn — Amanda Hobson

The episode starts off with Venus sensually and lightly touching xymself, while watching in a handheld mirror.

The smiles and eye contact while looking in the mirror is hot! — •• trashyfemme

Mirrors can absolutely being a sex toys, because there’s nothing hotter than watching the way your body reacts to the pleasure you’re receiving. The movement, the facial expressions we make. All of it is extremely hot and we should watch ourselves more often. — •• trashyfemme

The mirror was a last minute addition to my scene. I was shopping at a CVS hours before I was to head to the CrashPad for anything I might need. I thought it could come in handy. — Venus

So I love the idea that Venus uses a mirror as a toy but also for the type of connection the mirror allows xym. And from a film perspective the mirror gives an opportunity for some truly brilliant shots. — Amanda Hobson

The mirror as a tool is key because reflection—the ability to see ourselves to connect to ourselves and our own sexuality—is so very important to us as individuals but also to our cultural. We need to be able to truly see & acknowledge ourselves & each other. — Amanda Hobson

You already know my thoughts. I find myself to be very hot. LMAO!

But I find that it aides in healthy sexuality. I’m also a good sex partner to myself. I want to see how I look, how I react, how I feel in my hottest moments. — Venus

Vibrating rings

YES! I love nothing more than hearing someone giggle and laugh during sex. So hearing Venus giggle as xe stroke xymself with a cock ring on was ?!

I don’t have much experience with cock rings besides the one I own. They’re a great added pleasure during play!— •• trashyfemme

Okay back to Venus!

Things we Like…

The toy I was using on my girldick is the Je Joue Mio cock ring. It vibrates at multiple speeds and patterns. One of the best investments I made in my sex life and for my newest porn scene. — Venus Selenite

Behind the scenes

I was very surprised and impressed with the scene’s length. My estimation for the edit would be 13-15 minutes. I’m very happy Shine Louise Houston didn’t let any gems go to waste. I’m very happy with the final product. — Venus

Thanks for the love!

Ask for what you want in order to get it, Area 51 porn searches, your astrological sign’s best breakup strategy and more. — Autostraddle
