\"LogoYou may already be aware of Dusk TV<\/a>. It’s an erotic cable TV channel based in the Netherlands that caters primarily to female viewers and it’s been running for quite a few years now. For a while there was talk of a move into the US market but they didn’t quite get there.<\/p>\n

In June they’re holding their 3rd Porna Awards<\/a>. “Porna” is the term Dusk uses to describe female-friendly term. In many European languages the suffix “-a” is female. Thus, porna is a female version of porno.<\/p>\n

The last Porna Awards were in November 2014<\/a> (I was nominated). This time they’ve changed their format a bit, added different categories so it resembles some of the other porn award ceremonies. The nominees and categories are:<\/p>\n

Best Porna<\/strong>
\n\u201cDelilah\u2019s Top tips\u201d directed by Justine Mii (Joybear)
\n\u201cXConfessions vol. 4\u201d directed by Erika Lust (Lust Cinema)
\n\u201cMy Daughter\u2019s Boyfriend vol. 8\u201d directed by James Avalon (Sweet Sinner\/ Mile High)
\n\u201cGuide to Bondage for Couples\u201d directed by Tristan Taormino (Adam & Eve Pictures)
\n\u201cMake Me Sweat\u201d directed by Roma Amor (SinfulXXX)<\/p>\n

\nChanel Preston
\nEmma Leigh
\nJessa Rhodes
\nLara Tinelli<\/p>\n

Best Male Performer<\/strong>

\nLuke Hotrod
\nDean van Damme

\nRyan Ryder<\/p>\n

\nGVibe Black limited edition
\nSwan Adore Beauty
\nWomanizer Pro
\nL’amourose Vera<\/p>\n

\nWe-Vibe 4 plus
\nKiiroo Onyx & Pearl
\nRianne S. Ana’s Trilogy Set III<\/p>\n

They are also giving out a special \u201cawareness\u201d award\u00a0 to the \u201cMost Female-Minded Company 2016.\u201d This is a company that primarily focusses on a female audience and who\u2019s visions coincide with Dusk\u2019s. I have a pretty good idea whose company that will be – it’s the one that has come to dominate our genre in the last year thanks to lots of output and media attention. (Hint: it’s not me)<\/p>\n

The awards will be voted on by the Dusk Panel, a group of over 3000 women who vet the company’s programming.<\/p>\n

The nominees for Best Porna reflect the more mainstream bent that the company has taken in the last 18 months. A change of personnel behind the scenes has seen Dusk take a new direction. I’m also a bit curious as to why a cable channel would give out sex toy awards.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of films available, including The Fantasy Project<\/em><\/a> and a number of individual scenes from Bright Desire. Dusk plays them all on a scene-by-scene basis rather as a large block of content.<\/p>\n

The Porna Awards will take place at Undercurrent in Amsterdam on June 1st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
