Courtney Trouble, Tristan Taormino, Madison Young, Kitty Stryker, and other Fleshbot crushes/skinful sin-spirations assembled from points far and wide (and hard and deep) this past weekend at Toronto's Castefield Event Theatre to celebrate the 2014 Good for Her Feminist Porn Awards.

Carlyle Jansen, founder of Good for Her and producer of the Feminist Porn Awards, told the press: "Good For Her began organizing the Feminist Porn Awards in 1996 to celebrate the growing diversity of porn where everyone can see their bodies and desires reflected. Feminist Porn is rapidly eclipsing mainstream options for its fair trade labor practices and inclusivity for everyday people. The festival showcases an increased level of sophistication and cinematography that appeals to both the mainstream porn audience as well as to those who feel left out of porn's traditional style of eroticism."

Beyond just the awards show, the entire weekend was a simultaneously warm and wet occasion bursting with screenings, panels, conferences, and who-knows-what up in everyone's hotel rooms (somebody dish us the dirt—please!).

Among the globe-trotting, genre-fucking, boundary-obliterating clitterati in attendance were Ovidie (France), Jennifer Lyon Bell (Amsterdam), Zahra Stardust (Australia), and Lucie Blush (Spain), along with homegrown revolutionary hotties Courtney Trouble, Shine Louise Houston, Sonya Barnett, and Soma Snakeoil.

Even coordinators accurately praised the entertainment on hand (and gland) as "selections of films shattered assumptions about the porn aesthetic, from folks who used an iPhone to those with big budgets, from soft to edgy, artsy and political."

The luminous Kitty Stryker provides an up-close (and hard and deep) account on the whole glorious affair on her PurrVersality blog.
