Vivid to Release Tristan Taormino&#8217;s <i>Chemistry</i>

Chemistry is the sexually experimental first movie conceived and directed by Tristan Taormino for Vivid. The four-hour, two-disc set is scheduled to hit stores on Wednesday.

Taormino said that for the release she asks the audience to imagine an uncensored, intimate look at seven performers – Dana DeArmond, Marie Luv, Mika Tan, Taryn Thomas, Jack Lawrence, Kurt Lockwood and Mr. Marcus – who are left to their own devices for two days and told nothing is off limits. In addition to the main footage, the actors film each other with their own “perv cams.”

“The stars decided who they had sex with, when and where and this gave them the freedom to really be themselves,” said Taormino. “They really tested each other’s boundaries as well as their own.

“We get to see raw emotions, spontaneous sex, explosive orgasms and that one ingredient that I think is so important: chemistry. Not only will the sex scenes surprise people, but the stars revealed some very personal things in the confessional.”

The movie features music by indie rock bands Goodfinger and Boxelder and the DVD contains more than an hour of bonus material including additional sex scenes.

Taormino is the author of three books on sex, along with 14 anthologies. She conducts sex workshops across the country in addition to being a columnist for the Village Voice.

Before joining Vivid, Taormino directed and produced three adult films including House of Ass and Tristan Taormino’s Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, which snagged two AVN awards.

“While women and couples have finally been acknowledged as a viable segment of porn consumers, mostly only plot driven features are marketed to them,” continued Taormino. “Plenty of men and women tell me that they love all-sex videos so the focus of my work is on fresh performers, hot, spontaneous sex, real chemistry and real orgasms for everyone.

“Couples already trust Vivid for erotic features, now they can count on Vivid for hot reality, too.”
