strong connection between the performers. This isn’t just kink,
it’s real, chemistry filled, lesbian sex with a story. I’m really
proud of this movie.”
Aiden Starr
A longtime player in femdom erotica, Aiden Starr has been
featured in almost 400 DVD titles, include some sixty or so
for Kink.com. Most recently she began work as an Evil Angel
director, where she currently has the femdom series Lesbian Anal
Sex Slaves and Pussy Whipped (the latter in its third volume, was
her first Evil Angel title), as well as the femdom strap-on series
Knock You Down a Peg. She expressed delight about working with
John Stagliano and the company’s CFO, Adam Grayson. “They’re
both really open to alternative sex. And they also like that I don’t
want to make things too nichey,” Starr said. “I want to open up
the fetish to the mainstream.”
Starr elaborates on one thing that makes her femdom movies
different. “I only hire lifestyle players to do this stuff—fetish
models and bondage models really understand,” she said. “People
don’t want to see contrived porn; they want to see real people
having a real experience.”
What she knows best is girl/girl domination, and for that she
said, “I still draw on the pool of girls I’ve worked with multiple
times … girls I already know can do that genre. And we take it to
another level.”
One newer release from Evil Angel, Evil MILFs, is about “age
and power play,” in which Starr does a scene with Casey Calvert,
who she says “is easily in my top five—she was a bondage
model before she did porn.” Starr ticks off other favorites. “Skin
[Diamond]’s been in 85 percent of the things I have put out
because she’s incredibly versatile. She can be very submissive.
but she can also be switchy. Skin and Penny Pax and Casey are
my favorites. And obviously Dana DeArmond.”
Later this year, Starr revealed, “I’m going to be doing cuckold.
… It’s made for the straight market for guys who want to explore
the dark side of the fetish.”

Stay Calm and Tie One On
Are you ready for International Strap-On Week?
By Sherri L. Shaulis
There is probably no better time to introduce strap-ons to customers than International Strap-On Week, which this year takes place
June 15-22. Adult retailers Good Vibrations started #StrapWeek in 2013 to raise awareness about the joys of strap-on sex for
all types of couples.
To mark the week, Good Vibrations has published articles about everything from “How To Choose a Strap-On Dildo Harness” to
“Strap-On Sex With A Male Partner” on their website, as well as hosted workshops in the years since the debut of #StrapWeek.
And as strap-ons have gained in popularity in recent years, more and more manufacturers are creating their own collections and
systems to capitalize on the increased interest. Among the manufacturers and their top strap-ons are many standouts, detailed below.
Aslan Leather and Orgasmatronics
Aslan and Orgasmatronics have teamed up to release the Handsolo, a custom harness that allows users to enjoy their X1s
hands free and in high style. With the Handsolo, users report that the X1 feels even more similar to the Sybian—but at a
fraction of the price (and in a stylish package). Since its 2012 debut, the Orgasmatronics X1 Orgasmatron has been making
waves with its high-powered pleasure system that packs the force of a Sybian into a discreet, handheld package.
California Exotic Novelties
CalExotics’ 10-Function Silicone Love Rider collection features premium, soft, silicone probes, dongs, and vibes. The harnesses
are durable and sized-right. Powerful levels of vibrations and intense functions make Love Rider a brand that can be stocked
with confidence. The manufacturer also makes a Dual Harness (pictured below, far left), offering stimulation to the wearer,
and its Scandal collection of BDSM gear includes various harness styles, include a Thong Harness (below, center).
Doc Johnson
The Vac-U-Lock line of unisex Ultra Harnesses, realistic dongs, and matching attachments and accessories has been a staple since its
inception, and the diverse products give retailers and shoppers enough choice to keep them reordering for years to come. All Vac-U-Lock
packaging features a prominent number and color code on the box, signifying whether the item is a Complete Set (1), an Attachment (2),
or an Accessory (3). Vac-U-Lock is among the world’s first patented harness systems, offering endless possibilities for your customers to
embrace their fantasies—and one can be fulfilled with the James Deen UR3 Cock (below, right), part of the Vac-U-Lock series.
Heeldo
The Heeldo is a neoprene harness that comes in several sizes (small and medium for women, and large and extra large
for men) and has three O-rings (two stainless steel, one rubber) to attach practically any type of dildo to the foot. The
unit works in two positions, the rear heel position and the bottom heel position, so the dildo can be used for self-plea-
suring or couple’s play. The unit is also capable of holding an anal plug, provided it is O-ring compatible.
Liberator
Liberator’s Valkyrie collection gives the practicality of a harness with a ton of pin-up flair. The Valkyrie line has all the femininity and all
the control needed to enjoy strap-on play with a partner. A feminine top is the subject of many people’s fantasies the world over, and
this is a fine accessory. In an array of colors and prints offered nowhere else, Liberator Valkyrie stands out. Soft, washable spandex will fit
perfectly in the panty drawer; it’s sexy without the hardware that gets between lovers. This is an innovative panty that functions just like a
strap-on harness with enough support to get the job done when users choose the right size. And it holds toys up to 2 inches in diameter.
Nasstoys
Nasstoys carries three strap-on harness designs, designed to accommodate all types of bodies, regardless of gender. Both Harness the
Revolt and Harness the Moment strap-ons are compatible with almost any dong in a person’s toy collection, but are made to work best
with Nasstoys Whoppers or Lifelikes collections. Savvy retailers will do well to stock these new harnesses next to where these dongs are
currently located in stores.
