Ever heard of Camille Crimson? She is a living testament to human connection and an expression of deep sensuality. Her website The Art of Blowjob is the kind of thing every husband hopes his wife will stumble across and learn from. This is a woman who isn't afraid to show to the world that she loves blowjobs -- everything from deep throating to teabagging... and she does everything with loving tenderness and deep presence. Her videos are the opposite of sleaze, as they are artfully shot, masterfully lit, and brilliantly composed. This is the beautiful side of porn. We caught up with Camille and interviewed her about her technique.
TN: So Camille, from where do you hail?
CC: Hi! Well... I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, in Canada. And I've been doing porn for about 5 years now and actually, I got into it through being a web developer! The thing is, I've always been a very sexual person, but I'm also kind of an introvert and not one to seek the limelight. So it took a while, and the right opportunity - doing it on my own terms - to help me make the leap. And I'm so glad I did. Sure beats a nine to five desk job!
TN: All right, let's get to it... how the heck did you learn how to give such amazing blowjobs?
CC: Honestly, communication is a huge part of it. I think that blowjobs... and sex in general... can suffer because we make a whole lot of assumptions of what is expected, what is normal, what people want... If you actually have an evolving conversation about where you're at sexually, if you're honest and respectful about what you want and you actually listen, if you can just be creative in exploring those desires -- I promise you, it will be amazing. It's not about having a particular skill, per se, iit's really about being invested in giving pleasure.
TN: Okay, so how can people learn how to become more... um, invested in giving pleasure?
CC: Again, communication is key. It's not just about talking, though. It's also about observing physical cues and going with the flow. If you know your partner likes a lot of focus on the head, for example, play around with different ways of kissing, licking, sucking and stroking the different areas of the head. Really explore all the different sensations, rhythms and spots and see what works. Be playful and excited about the act of oral love... and the rest will follow.
TN: I don't suppose you could perhaps distill your wisdom into a five keys to a great blowjobs list for us?
CC: Do I have to? Okay, okay, here they are:
#1 - Talk about what your partner wants, in terms of everything from what he knows feels good to whether he enjoys something more soft and romantic or something more rough.
#2 - Express any limitations you have. Examine whether these limits are impossible to be swayed or if you're willing to try certain things under the right circumstances.
#3 - Try different using different parts of your mouth (lips, tongue, inside of your cheek, throat, etc...) with different parts of his anatomy (cock head, frenulum, shaft, balls, pereneum, etc...) and see what combinations work for him, either by asking or following his physical cues.
#4 - Explore different rhythms, sensations and add use of your hands, breasts, hair... Get creative! Think outside the box and tease his thighs, his butt, his treasure trail, his nipples... Blowjobs can be a whole body experience.
#5 - Make sure to be open and keep evolving. Don't let yourself get stuck in a rut - be like a composer creating new symphonies of pleasure. The important thing is to be excited about giving pleasure. Really and authentically excited. Everything else will fall into place.
TN: Do you have any thoughts to share about the taste of cum?
CC: I think it's delicious, personally, but it's an acquired taste like avocados. My main thing is that, while there are certain things a man can do (like drinking lots of water, eating pineapple, cutting down on smoking/alcohol/red meat), cum might never taste good to you. So instead of making a face or acting disgusted, just take it like a shot and get over it. Or don't, it's your choice. But if you feel up to it, give it a shot and just try to see it as a part of the pleasure and sensuality of a blowjob. Don't expect it to taste like candy, but you may be pleasantly surprised and eventually genuinely crave it.
TN: Can you tell us about your very first blowjob? what was that like?
CC: My first blowjob was in my teens. It was uninspiring and dull. I only really blossomed into my blowjob-loving self in my twenties.
TN: What's the wildest sexual thing you've ever done? I mean, like, ever?
CC: Probably the fact that I even started a porn site... that's pretty wild!
TN: If you could give a single gift to every human being on the planet, what would that be?
CC: The gift of understanding and valuing giving pleasure as well as just receiving it. If everyone wanted to be more giving lovers, the world would be a much happier place.
TN: Have you ever studied tantra? do
CC: Nope, I'm an atheist through and through. Not that I have any objection to tantric pleasureI It's just that I come to sex purely from a love of sensual pleasure!
TN: What's next for Camille Crimson?
CC: Well, I have a DVD coming out in early 2012 with Hustler and we just got nominated for Specialty/Alternative Site of the Year for the XBIZ Awards. Asides from that, we've recently launched a site with another couple called PornographicLove.com and it's really something special, carrying on the message that porn can be beautiful.
TN: Last question, about beauty in porn... whoever shoots your video is brilliant. can you share some of your techniques for creating amazing, high quality video?
CC: My secret weapon is my boyfriend! He manages to shoot and get a blowjob at the same time through the magic of dollies and tripods. We just try to use as much natural light as possible, we use the right cameras and lenses (our little secret) and we try to put a lot of thought into editing and music to set the scene!
