- Now here is something really interesting and useful:
- A source of pornography that is enjoyable to women
- (and men, too). Your own mileage may vary.
-
- The company appears to be some sort of California-Women's-Company
- (I didn't notice any men in the photo of the 2 dozen or so
- employees) Well let's cut to the chase!
-
- Good Vibrations
- 938 Howard St.
- San Francisco, CA 94103
- (415) 974-8990
-
- this is the mail-order address; the store has
- a location on Valencia. They sell videos, books,
- and "toys". Their selection is definitely not
- your average "adult" bookstore collection.
-
- Confidentiality is quaranteed. They
- will send everything in an evelope that
- says "Open Enterprises".
-
- So, why not send them a postcard and get their catalog.
- You won't be sorry....
-
- Here's some excerpts from their video catalog:
-
- The videos we offer are all outstanding exceptions to the
- mediocrity, erotophobia and sexual illiteracy that plague
- the American erotic screen. That doens't mean they will
- all turn you on. It does mean that each has a spark
- of originality and creativity that make it noteworthy to
- the audience that wants more than nudity and/or
- intercourse demonstration. Allowing for taste, we think
- each video listed shows outstanding erotic and educational
- quality, with enough hot energy to start something cooking
- in your very own living or bedroom.
-
- Why watch X-rated Movies?
-
- * To be entertained and/or aroused
-
- * To expand your fantasies and try on a bit of sexual
- diversity. You may like to watch what you don't
- want to do.
-
- * To learn more about the range of sexual behavior
- and your own responses and preferences.
-
- * To increase your comfort level with you own and
- other's sexuality.
-
- Top Ten Best Selling Videos. (in order of popularity) (fall 1992)
-
- Self-loving; How to Female Ejaculate; Insatiable;
- Suburban Dykes; The Masseuse; Nice Girls Don't Do It;
- Only the Best from Europe; How to perform fellatio;
- Three Daughters; Sexcapdes.
-
- ------end of excerpt----------
-
- Each video has one or more rating symbols attached
- with categories like: woman-centered, superior film making,
- killer sex scenes that make up for poor filmmaking,
- lesbian theme, Unconventional sexual content, contains
- display of safer sex techniques, primarily educational film
- with erotic complement, underground film.
-
- The catalog avoids the word pornography in favor of the
- word erotica. But connotative meanings aside, their
- catalogs hints at the existence of nontrivial quantities
- of decent visual porn. Their book collection isn't too
- shabby either!
-
- I'm sure there will be many who will appreciate the
- instructional videos too. I rather doubt that one can
- learn very much from the more conventional commercial
- video-porn. So these videos are filling a real need! ;-)
