A candid discussion about deconstructing the perceptions of real-world sex created by modern-day porn. Join a group of progressive industry activists for a unique session about the emergence of sex-positive alternatives to other offerings that reinforce the male-dominated stereotypes that often define mainstream porn.

Highlighting XBIZ 360 events series is the highly anticipated awards show on Jan. 24th in Century City, with adult film superstar Jenna Jameson as the event’s master of ceremonies. Pink and White has received multiple 2014 XBIZ Award nominations, including Feminist Porn Release of the Year (OCCUPIED: a queer hardcore romance for the 99%) and Specialty Site of the Year (PinkLabel.tv and CrashPadSeries.com). Performer Jiz Lee will be present at the Awards Ceremony to represent the company and San Francisco Bay Area’s queer porn community.

As the pioneering producer and director of Pink & White Productions, SHINE LOUISE HOUSTON has always had unique vision. Graduating from San Francisco Arts Institute with a Bachelors in Fine Art Film, her works have become the new gold standard of adult cinema. During a five year position at the women-owned, sex toy purveyor Good Vibrations, Shine recognized an underserved demand for an alternative to mainstream pornography, and began to create well-crafted queer made porn. Shine’s films have been recognized among the next big wave of women produced porn and have been internationally screened from Amsterdam to New Zealand.

“I believe there’s a lot of room and need to create adult content that’s real, that’s respectful and powerful… I think it’s the perfect place to become political. It’s a place where money, sex, media and ethics converge.” – Shine Louise Houston

Through an organic “self-agent” process, Jiz has worked in over 200 projects spanning five countries within indie, queer, and mainstream adult genres. Jiz has written about vulva diversity on Jezebel.com, on gender and porn in The Feminist Porn Book, and has taught queer sex workshops including “Fucking for Reel,” on pleasure and performative sex. Ever fascinated by the radical potential of sex, love, and art, Jiz blogs at JizLee.com.

“In the absence of comprehensive sex education, people use porn to learn about sex — what sex looks like, who gets to have it, and what it means to be sexy. On its own, that’s fine. But a limited example of what porn is has the danger in dictating what’s ‘normal’, raising issues in our understanding of sexual health, and also our sexual psyche. Diversity in porn lets us find ourself in the erotic landscape, proving we are ALL capable and deserving of love.” – Jiz Lee
