We invited sexual health educators and sex bloggers to share their #SexEdPornReviews for our newest queer porn episode on CrashPadSeries.com. Episode 232 sees the return of Valentine, who has invited her real-life poly partner Rion Rhodes. (Note: Rion had previously used the name Calico with us.) Donning matching outfits right down to the SwitchLeatherCo harnesses, their scene shows connection and strap-on sex. What did our panel of sex writers think? This week… CrashPad Episode 232: Valentine and Rion Rhodes.

But first, a moment to swoon over our stars

Guess who's back… VALENTINE returns to the CrashPad! @VonBettie https://t.co/yhf8tqbJc2 #AndroFemme #EthicalSlutWithaHeartofGOLD pic.twitter.com/cBThe0dHd0

Set the scene

Kissing! I love kissing in porn, when the people look like they clearly *want* to kiss each other @CrashPadSeries #sexedpornreviews pic.twitter.com/9Tap3DxqfV

2/ This episode was fucking AMAZING. I loved the tender, sensual start. The connection between Valentine and Calico is clear as day.

Smart to nap with a strap on. You never know what action is awaiting you! #sexedpornreviews @CrashPadSeries https://t.co/BOQUFgnyNe pic.twitter.com/XVaa77l4Kk

3/ This is a great example of what @CrashpadSeries excels at; making you feel like you've snuck into someone else's bedroom. #voyeur

.@VonBettie is tender and lovingly takes their time with pleasuring their partner, showing the benefits of a slow build. #SexEdPornReviews

Things we like… strap-on harnesses!

I like how strap on harnesses look on someone with a nice butt! @CrashPadSeries https://t.co/BOQUFgnyNe #sexedpornreviews pic.twitter.com/cHFw48C2h8

Loved the latest valentine's scene by @CrashPadSeries. Hot 'n sweet. Because there's never a thing like to much strap-ons. #SexEdPornReviews

Even tho strap ons can't feel anything, using one's mouth can be enjoyable #strapon69, plus pussy touching underneath! #SexEdPornReviews

— KelseyObsession (@KelseyObsession) February 15, 2017

The wearing of a harness is an incredibly empowering act but so too is the inviting removal of one. #SexEdPornReviews @CrashPadSeries

— Emmeline Peaches (@EmmelinePeaches) February 13, 2017

A sideways 69 that is equal parts genius and erotic. #SexEdPornReviews @CrashPadSeries https://t.co/g70ShgRJDm

Aural and Oral Sex

#SexEdPornReviews My 5 cents on @crashpadseries Episode 232 with @VonBettie and @leigh_calico *shimmies* I give it 3 fingers! Check it out: http://bit.ly/CPS232 – – – – – – – – – – [image text: Cindy Lee's 5 cents on CrashPad Episode 232: 1. Aural Appreciation: the sounds of their breathing and kissing are a win for me *cheese* 2. … Words that immediately come to mind: Sensual and Sweet 3. Consent: #HereForIt – Communication (Verbal, Eye Contact, etc.) and continual check-ins are both mandatory AND sexy! 4. Interesting use of angles. Very different from my former experiences of Porn 5. I would definitely use this in one of my classes, especially the behind the scenes clip (‘…get tested for ALL the things”) BONUS: Purple is my FAVORITE color and Ink is MY Kink!

As a fellow fan of strap-on oral sex I can't help but feel wonderfully represented in this @CrashPadSeries episode. #SexEdPornReviews

4/ Calico on all fours having her ass eaten by Valentine was an absolute thing of beauty.

The delicate, aching moans of @leigh_calico emphasise the various forms of approval that one can convey during sex. #SexEdPornReviews

"Can I have a finger in my ass too?" Now who would say no to that? Asking for what you want is the best way to get it. #SexEdPornReviews

.@VonBettie and @leigh_calico are a poly couple off screen too. The love they share is an undeniable aspect of this shoot. #SexEdPornReviews pic.twitter.com/OAZIeSXTkS

Porn is a source of pleasure but also extreme validation–authenticating and normalizing our own desires. #SexEdPornReviews @CrashPadSeries
