We invited sexual health educators, sex bloggers, and porn geeks to share their thoughts about episode 278, which features the return of Emperatrix and Chocolate Chip. Our performers script their scenes and bring their own sex acts and desires to the set, and in this scenario, filmed during the major California fires of November. The two brought juicy ripe strawberries, oranges, aloe leafs, and a refreshing outlook on vulnerability, expectations, and sex. This week… CrashPad Episode 278: Emperatrix and Chocolate Chip.

But first… a moment to swoon over our stars

"I’m a shy exhibitionist who just hit queer puberty."

I am absolutely obsessed with Emperatrix. I'm always on the lookout for other content creators, brujas, and radical sex educators. This describes all of my interests so I'm excited to see the content Emperatrix comes up with. #SexEdPornReviews

The world is on fire

"If the world is on fire, I'm going to need something more interesting."

WOW WHAT A BIG MOOD, CHOCOLATE CHIP.#SexEdPornReview

— IndiSnow Wolfe (@Indigoisanadult) December 31, 2018

it's interesting to include the masks folks had to wear because of the wildfires in california because then Chocolate Chip can say this great line of "if the world is on fire, I want to do something more interesting" So then Emperatrix suggests bringing food in #SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

“If the world is on fire, Im going to need something more interesting” – CC during CA fire+air quality crisis, meditating on potential stakes 4when danger&desire cross.

Post-disaster and/or emergency sex is totally a thing. Ever had it? Vulnerability required. #SexEdPornReviews pic.twitter.com/f1QF5ZzxMM

Great line from Chocolate Chip: “If the world is on fire, I’m going to need something more interesting.” Emperatrix’s reaction: “Well we can just eat out of each other.” And now we have a plan, y’all. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

This episode reminds me that when the world is a giant dumpster fire, our creativity and connection to others is the only real answer to overcoming it. Resistance, Love, connection, and art that’s what we have (and sometimes righteous fury). #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

Food Porn

Then they both agree and Emperatrix uses Chocolate Chip as the sexiest cutting board ever. With any kink play I would suggest setting up a safe word with your partner to help communicate any need to slow down or stop what's happening#SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

Our latest episode is JUICY — oranges, avocados, strawberries, and aloe! How do you choose which edible items to use, what food doesn't mix with sensitive parts, and why is food-sex so fun? #SexEdPornReviews #Sploshing #FoodPorn

On #foodplay : When we see sex where activities are modeled for us that we are not used to associating with intimacy, we create the potential to also transcend (sensually) in the every day by connecting domestic objects with our romantic experiences. #SexEdPornReviews pic.twitter.com/cU9H2Y2aZX

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

I think to this day I have not seen a SERIOUS food play scene. There's always laughing and funny parts. I love that we know how preposterous is is to just smear avocado over something and then just eat it.

— IndiSnow Wolfe (@Indigoisanadult) December 31, 2018

incorporating food into your play by rolling it onto someones body or teasing other erogenous zones with it is another way to play with food besides simply eating it off of someone. Also note, be careful with foods with sugars and vulvas. They do not get along!#SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

There are so many pervertables in your house! Have you ever thought to hit someone with an aloe leaf? Maybe, maybe not but you're thinking about it now! Food can be used in many ways. Think outside of the box!#SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

Also with food play remember to be careful with inserting or using food items with sugar content. Do your research before using because certain foods can increase UTIs and yeast infections. Check out the way Chocolate and Emperatrix use food externally only. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

It’s incredibly important to negotiate boundaries with your partner before incorporating food. Talk about allergies and such because there’s nothing worse than a allergic reaction in the middle of sex. It’s not just food: a lot of folks are allergic to latex #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

ALOE OR BODY FLUD IDK IDC ITS DRIPPY AND WET AND SEXY WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR 5EVER ? #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278 pic.twitter.com/Q68Q8sBZMR

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

Aloe is also great for your skin and hair, and safe for your junk! MY favorite lube is Satin from @sliquid and it's full of aloe & vitamin e. I love for my junk to be as moisturized as the rest of me. So cutting it up on someone & rubbing it into them is great #SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

Oops mistweet that’s an aloe leaf not agave, which is why it’s safe to use. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

IMPORTANT: Aloe is edible (though bitter) and safe for most skin. Agave, on the other hand, has leafs with sap that can irritate the skin. Please do your research before incorporating foods and liquids into sexual play, whether on skin or sensitive or internal body parts.

Knife play can be about trust

A light amount of knife play in this episode (content warning) but there’s no actually cutting. Knife play offers different things for different folks. Even without actual cutting, knife play is built on complete trust with a partner & navigating boundaries. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

#knifeplay doesn’t always have to be associated with violence – associate it with trust instead! #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

For some, it’s the edge of fear that the introduction of the knife brings. For others, it’s the catharsis of the physical pain of the actual cuts. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

Chocolate Chip talks about the psychological impact of the knife touching skin, which is that moment of trepidation that can grant the emotional and even physical release. #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

Experimenting creates lessons

gosh this episode really asks us to remember that if experimenting does not always go as well as it did for these2, that’s o k a y! play n experiments are not always the fire sex we drool4. take the good parts n try it again. fucking is expansive, make it so! #SexEdPornReviews

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

And I know I still freak out over little things, but the fact that someone said "no thank you" and they just moved on is still amazing to me.

Like, thank you for just showing what real sex is like, @CrashPadSeries

— IndiSnow Wolfe (@Indigoisanadult) December 31, 2018

Lend a hand

rubbing your partners body while they're using a vibrator or their hand on them-self is a great way to stay involved and also add dimension to the pleasure they're receiving. It adds layers to pleasure, helping to push them over the edge.#SexEdPornReviews

— Carly S. (@Makeupandsin) December 28, 2018

Wish

No kissing or fluid exchange in this scene! Sometimes it really be the things you don’t see and don’t do that are the most radical and inventive. (Like, heeeellllo at the wish vibe under a aloe plant turned dental dam!!! ???) #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278 pic.twitter.com/gUJWBpTobs

Safer Sex

What's the relationship between sex and catharsis? #Emperatrix #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278 pic.twitter.com/g6qDmX8zKo

“Safe sex practices can be challenging physically and emotionally.” –#ChocolateChip #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

#ChocolateChip ends by talking about how being a in a “controlled space” helped them open up to new things. How can we create our own “controlled spaces" to explore without high stakes and performance pressure? #SexEdPornReviews 4 @crashpadseries episode 278

— shawné michaelain h. (@cleogirl2525) December 28, 2018

I love that @CrashPadSeries so consistently demonstrates just how sexy consent is. Chocolate Chip & Emperatrix check in with each other, ask for permission, &talk to each other about what they want. This is what affirmative, enthusiastic consent looks like y’all #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

Getting dirty and keeping clean

In the #BehindTheScenes, Emperatrix and Chocolate Chip talk about the mess of playing with food. Lots of sensation play like this can be very messy: prepare ahead of time. Cover your mattress with a barrier #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

You can get mattress protectors (like what might be used in the hospital), which are washable and reusable. There are some pricey versions of surface protection (though much more pleasing to the eye and touch). #SexEdPornReview

— Amanda Hobson (@amandajohobson) December 29, 2018

So if you're a virgo neat freak like me and wanna do messy play but want easy clean up, invest in a @Liberator throe! I'm going to give it a rave review soon, but check them out herehttps://t.co/S3D8XN0RTp#SexEdPornReviews

Chocolate Chip says, “I loved being able to focus on decentralizing…genitals or…even the most obvious erogenous zones…and decentralizing penetration and really focusing on the rest of the body.” Part of why it’s such an intriguing episode #SexEdPornReview #BehindTheScenes
