Kerry frequently watches porn with her boyfriend and is a sextoy tester for Passion8.com "Watching porn is a good way of expressing your fantasies without actually doing them... instead of having a threesome my boyfriend and I watch it in a film which still turns us on without the complications..."
Relationship expert Karen Krizanovich says "Using porn means you're admitting you have a sexual nature and that's healthy. No relationship can give you everything you need and that includes sex..."

A Sex Toy Like No Other
I suppose you might call me an experienced porn viewer. From raiding my brother's stash of Swedish blue movies back in the 70's, up to the present day I have seen most genres. From bukkake to Gang Bang (remember Annabel Chongs record 251?) and a lot more in between. I've been fortunate enough to miss some of more extreme films including one particularly notorious title - I remember my friend planning a cosy Saturday night in with her new boyfriend, he brought the film and wine, she cooked dinner. She was looking forward to a bit of hot raunchy action on film as well as on her living room floor, when he started to play the film and the title came up on the screen..Animal Farm, and we're not talking about the Orwellian classic. That relationship was immediately consigned to the annals of history.
"How could he have got it so wrong?" she would later lament. How indeed, but we do hear similar stories on a day to day basis here at Passion8, which is why we have a dedicated section of "Couple Friendly Films". Many couples, men and women find that adult films can really make their love life sizzle, and they gain valuable hints and tips. Watching adult films can be a powerful aphrodisiac for many - a different type of sex toy, but one that is ultimately just as pleasurable as one with batteries. Explicit visual stimulation has such a powerful arousal trigger, especially sex acts, scenes and fantasy scenarios, by triggering a fantasy a couple might then want to try it out for themselves, expanding their own sexual repertoire.
Porn and the Law
Passion8 is not allowed to send hardcore films by mail order, since a government ruling in 2004. These films were certificated as R18 and only available from licensed premises, with proactive law enforcement, this means that you can only buy R18 from your High Street Sex Shop. As most of us know, unless you are lucky enough to live near to one of the trendier new style shops, you are then relegated to shopping in a dingy shop, with blacked-out windows. Historically these shops do not cater for "Couple friendly Films" like Passion8, so you will be greeted with a plethora of "in-your-face" (literally in many cases) film covers - nothing is left to the imagination. Where does that leave those of us who want an erotic film, without the graphic triple facial cum shot?
Historically certificate 18 films were known as "shadow fucking". Soft-core referred to the non-explicit version of a porn film, so that penetration, genital penetration or ejaculation is not shown. However since the deregulation of certain sex acts in R18 films, we have seen the content of certificate 18's get significantly stronger, the resulting effect is that they really are now a viable erotic alternative to hard core.
What a suprise it was when I reviewed the latest releases from Wicked - I found that the content is significantly stronger than ever before and many of our customers have commented that these films are more erotic than their "hard core" counterparts. Wicked was formed by Steve Orenstein in 1993 with a firm commitment to producing quality adult productions designed specifically to appeal to women and couples - they are an ideal choice for Passion8 and we look forward to promoting the Wicked range in the coming months.
Wicked Pictures, the future of couple-friendly adult erotica
Originally from New York, Steve Orenstein established Wicked Pictures in Canoga Park, California in March 1993. Along with his good friends and dynamic design team Brad and Cynthia Willis, Orenstein formed his fledging company with a firm commitment to producing quality adult productions designed specifically to appeal to women and couples, a move that yielded almost immediate dividends. During its first year, Wicked was honoured with several industry awards, including Best Video Feature & Best Director.
Shortly afterward, Orenstein signed the first of the company’s legendary Wicked Girls’, Chasey Lane. Then in early 1995 they signed their next contract girl, Jenna Jameson. They watched as Jenna instantly heated up the screen and became the first star to win Best New Starlet, Best Actress and Best Sex Scene in her first year. The wicked/Jenna partnership assured Jameson’s status as the porn star of the decade, and in no small measure helped to put Wicked Pictures on the map.
Over the next 10 years Wicked Pictures signed a number of industry talents & new comers including Serenity, Missy & her then husband Mickey G to both act & direct (making Wicked the first adult company ever to ink a couple to such an agreement), Stephanie Swift, Devinn Lane, Temptress, Syndee Steele, Julie Ann, jessica drake, Stormy & in 2005 Keri Sable. The hard work of the Wicked Pictures family has paid off; they have won numerous AVN & XRCO awards. In 2005 alone they earned a massive 71 AVN nominations.
Under Steve Orenstein’s guidance, Wicked Pictures continues to break new ground while remaining focused on producing quality adult entertainment, strengthening its appeal with women and couples, & enjoying ongoing success.
