Camille Crimson

2011 has come and gone, and I think it’s really been one of the most amazing years of my life, if not the most amazing.  There have been so many incredible developments with the company, and we just continue to grow and flourish.  We won a Feminist Porn Award for best website, we got picked as the best blowjob site by Rabbits Reviews, we got at DVD deal with Hustler which is now almost near completion, we launched Pornographic Love to huge success, I’ve been featured in Hustler twice, I’ve had all sorts of amazing interviews and reviews, I started my own advice column at Peeperz, we launched the portraits section on The Art of Blowjob, we got nominated for an XBIZ Award for Specialty Site of the Year and now I just got named Fleshbot’s Crush Object of the Year…  I’m probably forgetting something, but just off the top of my head, that’s already an incredible year, isn’t it?

I know I say this time and time again, but I really couldn’t have done it without you all.  I’m so incredibly lucky to have such amazing, passionate people in my life who all care about porn and sexuality the way I do.  Through the site, I’ve met so many wonderful friends and I really do consider you all as such.  The support I get from you guys absolutely pushes me further and further towards my increasingly ambitious goals.  I have lots more goals and plans up my sleeve for 2012, so I’m definitely not spent yet.

I hope that 2012 will be an incredible year for all of you.  I have a feeling it will be!

I’ve been very lucky to have a whole lot of great feedback for The Art of Blowjob, and the past week is no exception.  I’ve done two wonderful interviews and got a glowing review too, so I wanted to share a bit from all three of them with you.

The first is an interview with Tantric News, a site all about spiritual sexuality.  Even though I’m an atheist, they can see a spirituality in what I do and I say more power to them.  They were kind enough to interview me, so I thought I’d share a couple of our exchanges:

TN: I don’t suppose you could perhaps distill your wisdom into a five keys to a great blowjobs list for us?
CC: Do I have to? Okay, okay, here they are:
#1 – Talk about what your partner wants, in terms of everything from what he knows feels good to whether he enjoys something more soft and romantic or something more rough.
#2 – Express any limitations you have. Examine whether these limits are impossible to be swayed or if you’re willing to try certain things under the right circumstances.
#3 – Try different using different parts of your mouth (lips, tongue, inside of your cheek, throat, etc…) with different parts of his anatomy (cock head, frenulum, shaft, balls, pereneum, etc…) and see what combinations work for him, either by asking or following his physical cues.
#4 – Explore different rhythms, sensations and add use of your hands, breasts, hair… Get creative! Think outside the box and tease his thighs, his butt, his treasure trail, his nipples… Blowjobs can be a whole body experience.
#5 – Make sure to be open and keep evolving. Don’t let yourself get stuck in a rut – be like a composer creating new symphonies of pleasure. The important thing is to be excited about giving pleasure. Really and authentically excited. Everything else will fall into place.

TN: Do you have any thoughts to share about the taste of cum?
CC: I think it’s delicious, personally, but it’s an acquired taste like avocados. My main thing is that, while there are certain things a man can do (like drinking lots of water, eating pineapple, cutting down on smoking/alcohol/red meat), cum might never taste good to you. So instead of making a face or acting disgusted, just take it like a shot and get over it. Or don’t, it’s your choice. But if you feel up to it, give it a shot and just try to see it as a part of the pleasure and sensuality of a blowjob. Don’t expect it to taste like candy, but you may be pleasantly surprised and eventually genuinely crave it.

 

The second interview was with a new social media site called Soda Social.  It was a very fun interview, so again, here are a few questions from it:

I guess the first question is what is difference between your site and all the other sites out there?

It’s different for a few reasons, actually. First, it’s homemade, so we do everything from the creative work to the technical side to the business stuff. Second, we’re a real couple, so we’re not faking our intimacy, which counts for a lot. Third, we pay a lot of attention to the aesthetics of the site, so the videos and photos are really beautiful and creative. Fourth, we do a ton of outreach through social media and my blog, answering every message/comment and specifically focusing on helping people have happier, healthier relationships and sex lives. And fifth, our blowjobs are unlike everything else out there because they’re front and centre and they’re focused on sensuality and passion instead of just rough, almost violent blowjobs.

 

You look really cute in your scenes and pictures , more genuine than everyone else. Where does this stem from?

We shoot in our own home when we actually feel like it. We’re not a big company in a sound studio with a schedule. Whenever we’re feeling frisky, we set up the camera, get ready and shoot. It’s all genuine intimacy and it’s just the two of us, so we’re not performing. We’re just capturing our natural sexuality, just with the emphasis on the blowjob.

 

And finally, here is a graphic featuring a summation of my 5 star review from Porn Geekz:

A few days ago, my wonderful friend Chris pointed me in the direction of a wonderful piece he had written about The Art of Blowjob on his Tumblr.  With the update and Thanksgiving, I had to push it back a few days, but I’m writing about it now!  We’re lucky enough that we’ve received a tremendous amount of praise for the site, but I think that these words probably have most clearly embodied what we’ve been trying to achieve with the site, so it’s really quite remarkable.  I wanted to share a little of what he had to say about the site:

The Art of Blowjob could just as easily be called the art of living, the art of loving or the art of pleasure, loving everything you do and taking pleasure in almost everything that happens to you –

There is a old saying about the Japanese Samurai – that they try to strive for perfection in everything they do through out the day – no matter how small the task is – but they never for one minute believe they have achieved it.

That is very much the vibe I get from watching and reading Camille Crimson writings – every little detail is thought about, but not in a way so it gets con-screwed and seems fake, but in a way that just comes natural (this is properly why Camille kind of intimidates me at times).

The Art of Blowjob is to me a world for the connaisseur , the best in food, the best in love, the best in blowjobs – a place for people who won’t settle for anything less then that. It’s almost like a lifestyle magazine that ain’t afraid to go all out, take you by the hand and lead you into the bedroom, then back into the kitchen and then into the living room for a discussion on good litterature and maybe some videogames.

 

Can you get any better than that?  I don’t think so.  Hearing that we’re like a lifestyle magazine, that we transcend blowjobs to show passion, love, connection…  He even gave us the Michelin five stars.  ;)  Of course, you should read the rest of the piece and see what other great things he’s written about and shared on his Tumblr.  Thank you, Chris!  You’re the best!

Fleshbot has been giving me a lot of love in the past 24 hours!  They’ve posted two great articles about me, and I must say that I blushed when I saw the first one and I blushed even harder when I saw the second.  I do love them, and I guess they must love me too.  It’s a pretty wonderful little relationship.  First, they posted about my foray into intercourse in last week’s update:

t looks like everyone’s favorite blowjob artist (Camille Crimson, duh) is expanding her repertoire: in last Friday’s update, Camille not only performs a loving, sensual blowjob—she also receives some very delightful pleasuring from her partner, as well.

Now, this isn’t the first time Ms. Crimson has had sex on camera; as she reminds her fans, there have been glimpses of sexual intercourse in prior videos, and her photo site Dolorem included all manner of sensual play, too. But we’re still a bit stunned (and thrilled) to see such a large porn of an Art of Blowjob video devoted to, well, non-oral sex…and we definitely look forward to seeing what the future holds for Camille’s delicious videos. But you don’t have to take our word for it—check out the trailer (above), or, better yet, the full video, and see the glory for yourself.

 

They even included the trailer, those clever people!  Then, to my surprise, they tapped me to be the next mouth in sex toys.  As you know, I’ve been wanting my own Fleshlight, so it means a lot to have their endorsement:

We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: Camille Crimson’s mouth deserves to be commemorated as a sex toy. There are a ton of oral masturbation sleeves out there already, but there are simply too many reasons why Camille should have one as well. For one, we love her. Secondly, lesser-known pornstars should be represented in the novelty market—sex toys let the die-hard fans feel closer to the star while potentially expanding the market to those who are generally interested in sex toys (read: everybody). Third, Camille only performs with her boyfriend, so giving the rest of us a facsimile of those legendary lips will soften the sting of her exclusivity.

The difficult part of making a Camille Crimson masturbator would be trying to capture the glamourous, glossy quality of those Art of Blowjob videos. If it can’t be done, perhaps some striking shade of lipstick or fancy jewelry would do the trick. If that isn’t cost-effective, then we demand that the Camille Crimson cyberskin comes with a manual that explicitly tells users to slip into slow-motion when they’re about to climax.

 

I know, I know, there’s been a whole lot of loving for Pornographic Love going on over here!  But when they’re getting such incredible feedback…  How can I not share?  I feel like a proud mama bear or something.  The incredible Violet Blue devoted an entire post to them, saying unbelievably kind things like this:

Unlike most other porn sites, Pornographic Love is a couple-focused non-commercial porn site that is run by a real-life couple who love to put their sexy selves in front of the camera as often as possible. The porn is hardcore, the sex and passion (and love) is real, and I have to say that like Crimson’s other fantastic sites, it is really quite lovely. Pretty-dirty.

I’m super-pleased to see sites like this start to emerge in force within the online porn landscape, and I hope they continue to grow this sweet little site. Like much of the porn that’s emerged in the past ten years, Pornographic Love contradicts malformed porn stereotypes to show the delight of two people opening their minds, hearts, and bodies to each other – and sharing this delight with us.

 

What a wonderful woman!  Our the amazing Jon over at Sex Life Canada was able to nab our very busy Lilyanne for an interview, so I figured I’d share a few of their best exchanges:

SLC: Does working in front of the camera change the dynamic of your sex?
Lilyanne: Yes it spices the things up. When we are shooting a video, we always have real passionate sex, but, of course, we need to keep cool head to be sure that the shots are great. Something new for us is that when we are editing our videos, we often get turned on by watching ourselves having sex. We don’t want to be narcissistic, but the concept of getting excited by ourselves is weird—but fun. We are also careful about keeping some time for sex without the camera. It is important to have moments when we focus on each other only and not about the right angle.

SLC: Are you ‘out’ about the website to friends and family?
Lilyanne: For my side, yes. All my close friends and family knows about it. I am very proud of the site and I have always been very open-minded about these things. But I am careful because I know that most of the people don’t see life the way I see it. Max’s closest friends know about the site, but he is more reserved about it than I am.

SLC: What key elements do you want to portray on your site?
Lilyanne: Love is definitely the main thing we want to display. A healthy, passionate and regular sex life is one the most satisfying things to experience and it is also beautiful to watch. It is something not very common in the porn industry right now and we are sure that there is an interest in it. Love is the biggest turn on.

 

Finally, long time friend The Writing Buddha has shared a few trailers to some very sexy videos as well as his take on Pornographic Love:

If you enjoy the The Art of Blowjob, but wish it were a bit more hardcore… here you go.  This is what you want.  There’s something about watching a real couple that just translates better.  The passion is genuine.  Nothing is faked.  The production is fantastic.  I mean… the lighting bathes everything in a lush, soft glow.  The camera never gets in the way of the scene.  Slow motion is used to great effect.  This is porn meant for both men and women.   It’s primal, yet sensual.

 

I’m so happy to see the influence of loving, beautiful porn growing and getting the recognition it deserves.  Lilyanne and Max are doing an amazing job and I hope you’re all able to watch their progression with a membership to Pornographic Love.

Pornographic Love has been getting a lot of love of its own in the past little while, so I thought I’d share some of their successes today.  A lot of people shared around the press release, including Whack Magazine and a lead story on YNOT News.

Then, we’ve had some wonderful personal feedback from Rubyyy Jones:

This Is The Kind Of Wonderful Project, That Shows People You Can Have ‘Porn’ That’s Sensual, That’s Romantic With Real Connections And Real Orgasms. It May Not Be For Everyone But Some People Need This To Be Turned On And They Feel Excluded By Most Of The Commercial Porn Readily Available.

 

Jilly over at Lady Laid Bare also had some wonderful things to say about the site:

Camille Crimson’s newest project Pornographic Love has taken off in flight and she has every reason to be proud of it! Lilyanne and Max are a gorgeous couple and they make gorgeous videos of themselves whilst in the throws of their evident passion for each other.

The videos are as stylish as Camille’s own Art of Blowjob videos, and shot with the same care, which makes for mindblowingly sexy results.

 

What sweethearts!  We had a review from friend of The Art of Blowjob, Liquid Whispers:

All in all, I like the site. It’s true there isn’t a lot of content up there yet, but what content is there has the same artistic, high-quality look and feel made famous by The Art of Blowjob. If you love that site, you’re going to like this one, too.

The site has also been featured as a glowing review on Fleshbot, so I figured I’d share a few of their kind words with you:

If you’re like us, you’re completely obsessed with all the delicious, award-winning work that Camille Crimson does with her man, Mike Flirt. Well, good news: this power couple has paved the way for a partner site called Pornographic Love, starring Lilyanne and Max. Spoiler alert: it’sThe Art of Blowjob with sex (and it’s amazing).

Everything I could say about Pornographic Love is essentially an echo of my feelings about The Art of Blowjob, but that doesn’t mean this new site is redundant. We’ve got two fresh Montrealer faces to enjoy, and it just so happens we get to enjoy them with the same sensual, high-gloss, respectful vibe that we’ve come to know and love.

On a shallow note, Lilyanne and Max are both marvelously pretty. She’s a thin, tan, and tattooed twenty-something with dark features and perfectly pouty lips. He’s the same general age and tattooed-ness with good muscle tone and a little bit of scruffy facial hair. I know there are pictures of them in this gallery; I just wanted to emphasize the degree to which they are easy on the eyes.

 

Amazing, right?  I love them so much.  They’ve always been so good to us.  Lastly, I wanted to share an excerpt little piece that Sophie wrote for Peeperz, the Pornhub blog, all about the site:

We’re at the point in porn where we honestly feel like we’ve seen it all. We scroll through countless videos, site after site, looking for something to grab our attention. Do we go back and watch our bookmarked favorites that we’ve seen a hundred times already? Do we watch another girl insert tab A into slot B? It’s sad to say, but sometimes it feels like porn has lost its lustre since we’re just so accustomed to it by now.

Pornographic Love is the perfect antidote to this kind of malaise, in many ways. Without sounding too much like an old-timey traveling salesman, it cures what ails ya… That is if porn overload is indeed what ails ya. If it’s something else, it’s probably best to consult your physician. But seriously, the site is all about love.

Pornographic Love, to be exact. It’s one couple exploring the far reaches of their sexuality and sharing it all on the internet. It doesn’t hurt that the couple in question is extremely good looking.

 

I hope you enjoyed that little roundup!  As time marches on and the site becomes more and more well-known, I’ll be sure to keep sharing their successes with you!
