- DirectorBeck PeacockThe 78-minute documentary both questions and examines the many unspoken myths of a woman's core sexuality -- her vulva. These deep-seated beliefs directly affect female sexual self-esteem. Photographer Nick Karras has composed intimate images with an unusual sensitivity. The documentary follows his personal journey in producing a book of artful photographs. The movie records the reactions of sex educators, women's health professionals, art critics, female activists, and men/women-in-the-street as they confront the physical mystery of womanhood. It also exposes the recent cosmetic surgical procedure called labia-plasty as a fraudulent redefinition of female beauty.

- DirectorThom FitzgeraldStarsDaniel MacIvorJoshua PeaceJack Griffin MazeikaThis film looks at the 1950's muscle men's magazines and the representative industry that were popular supposedly as health and fitness magazines, but were in reality primarily being purchased by the still underground homosexual community. Chief among the purveyors of this literature was Bob Mizer, who maintained a magazine and developed sexually inexplicit men's films for over 40 years. Aided by his mother, the two maintained a stable of not so innocent studs. At the end, the film moves into a court room drama as Mizer is tried for running a male-prostitute ring in the early 60's. Clips of Mizer's actual films starring individuals, such as Jack LaLanne and Joe Dallesandro, are included.

- DirectorLaura BartonJudy WilderStarsMolly IvinsAnnie SprinkleCarol QueenIn the early 1900's, a new invention (and one of the very first uses of the electric motor) was created to address the 'problem' of women's hysteria. These devices immediately became an essential household appliance, and were advertised in nearly every women's magazine and sewing notions catalog of the time. 70 Years later, these appliances were condemned as 'perverted sex toys,' and became the subject of heated debate among lawmakers. In California, Texas, and several other states, conservative politicians successfully waged legislative campaigns to outlaw and prohibit the sale, ownership or use of vibrators and dildos while simultaneously criminalizing other 'deviant' sexual practices. Although a number of these laws have been overturned by legislatures or the courts, in the State of Texas freedom fighters are still working to eliminate these absurd and unnecessary laws. Dildo Diaries takes a lighthearted but 'probing' approach to exploring the development of sections of the Texas Penal Code and its effects on the adult sex toy industry. Combining historical documentation, personal stories, and interviews with noted experts and legislators, this documentary honors the dildo's fight for legitimacy and its many admirers.
