Announcing the launch of a new site, Shine turns the attention this time on masculinity. HeavenlySpire.com is a Shine Louise Houston creation for the purpose of masculine appreciation. The site focuses on masculine beauty and sexuality and how it manifests on different bodies. Following the same vision as Houston’s previous projects HeavelySpire focuses on capturing genuine pleasure with a unique cinematic style. The site portrays cisgender and transmen, in solo and partnered combinations.

HeavenlySpire is updated once a week. There are two levels of memberships. Level one memberships have access to all streaming content and has a monthly cost of &20. Level 2 memberships have access to the streaming content with the option to download and has a monthly cost of $25.

Bobby Calamitous, of Fleshbot.com offers a review of HeavenlySpire.com!

“Yeah, You Make Pretty Awesome Gay Porn—For A Lesbian! Ha!”

Or for anyone, really. After making a name for herself directing hot and beautifully shot dyke and queer porn, Shine Louis Houston has turned her sharp eye to the gays. This stuff makes Sean Cody look like Community Theater.

Heavenly Spire is the newest branch of Shine Louis Houston’s alt-porn empire, and it’s brimming with the sort of cute queer boys you see skateboarding in your city’s downtown areas or chain smoking cigarettes in dive bars or attending Joanna Newsom concerts. These are the sort of alt-gays who are as wily as they are lovable, the sort of guys we feel like we’d date if we were more interesting people.

This fact actually made us sort of skeptical about how well this site would really work. We’ve had our brush with queer theory and its enthusiasts, but nowadays we just feel like sellouts in front of them. Add to that the fact that so much artsy porn is so obsessed with being beautiful that it forgets to be, you know, pornographic, and we imagined ourselves to be in for a seriously boring treat. But Houston’s movies are really incredibly hot. Her cinematography manages to frame those parts of the body that are the most erotic, but in ways that paint beautiful pictures. We’re really into it. Be sure to check out the preview for Leather Daddy Sven. He’s a personal favorite.

“There is power in creating images, and for a woman of color and a queer to take that power… I don’t find it exploitative; I think it’s necessary.”
-Shine Louise Houston
Director and Producer, Pink and White Productions

As the pioneering producer and director of Pink and White Productions, Shine 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 5 year position at the women-owned, sex toy purveyor Good Vibrations, Shine recognized an underserved demand for authentic woman and queer made porn. Shine’s films have been recognized as the next big wave of women produced porn and have been internationally screened from Berlin to New Zealand.

Dedicated to producing sexy and exciting images that reflect today’s blurred gender lines and fluid sexualities, Pink and White Productions creates porn that exposes the complexities of queer sexual desire. After achieving international acclaim and winning the First Annual Feminist Porn Awards’ Hottest Dyke Sex Scene, Pink and White Productions continues to advance the world of adult entertainment with its newly released Crash Pad Series.

Step into the steamy world of butches, bois, femmes, transfolk and more as you get a first hand look at what goes on behind the closed doors of the notorious hot bed of queer sex in The Crash Pad Series. With so much focused placed on the authentic passion between two (or more) bodies, it’s no wonder why people can’t stop talking about The Crash Pad Series. Pink and White Productions takes pride in offering some of the most diverse and alluring representations of the erotic body.

Editor’s Pick
HNT and Mr. Man by Essin’ Em

“She let me suck her cock, I let her suck mine (Femmes can have cocks too, damn it!). [...] Holy crap – it felt so good…very intense, very amazing. It was like more traditional oral sex on a female bodied person (cunnilingus like), but while watching her mouth slide up and down on my cock. Hot. Mind fuck. God damn hot mind fuck.”
Note: I admit to being a bit biased on this one, because I really really really want a Mr. Man!
