Hyapatia refused to appear in rape scenes and actually wrote and appeared in a version of The Canterbury Tales that removed all the rape from the story--no mean feat, that! She said that Gail was planning to move in to feminist porn but never got the chance to--she did edit the rerelease of Sly Stallone's softcore porn--if you search the term Gail Palmer Sylvester Stallone on YouTube, you'll see the hilarious trailer featuring Gail, who was also quite beautiful. Can rape porn be feminist? In my opinion, no, no more than any form of heinous abuse against women and girls (from domestic battery...

I didn't watch the whole movie, just the part where the guys kidnapped and brought her to some place to rape her. Didn't get through the rape scene or know there was a plot beyond that. I had no idea one of the producers or directors who also wrote the movie was a woman (Gail Palmer) who I haven't heard of until now. Also interesting how her boyfriend at the time, Harry Mohney, was the other producer or director. He owns the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas, so I now wonder even more if this video being shown in the peekshow booth is just coincidence and included with thousands of o...

Might not be typical. If it's true that mainsteam porn pays better than feminist porn, there can be various explanations. One might be higher budgets. Another may be the types of sex acts. For example, riskier or more explicit sex acts tend to pay higher. For example, double-anal or dp typically pay more than just a b/g vaginal scene or a g/g scene. Also, if performers take on more roles in feminist porn, that might be because they have more autonomy. Lower budget was certainly the key reason, as the paper stated that feminist porn productions were "far ...

  Erika has been directing since 2004, and Angie Rowntree from Sssh (a company for whom I work very proudly) started at around the same time. Playgirl started making films in 2005. So yes, this study does not seem to be comprehensive in its sources. Tessa wrote: Did Lust Cinema even exist between 2012 to 2014 when the interviews were conducted? I think there are new feminist production studios and websites since then and it seems like more continually emerging.

  jackdore wrote: From the anti-porn feminists I've listened to where I live, I get the impression they are not willing under any circumstances to acknowledge that most porn is benign, but with a fringe of nasty stuff and some abusive people who need to be exposed and rooted out. They'd rather persist with the fiction that it's all violent and abusive, relying on the hope that people will be too embarrassed to contest this ludicrous claim. I think it's because they somehow see any form of commercial sexual entertainment involving women as a serious existential threat to equality. Yes, I agree. The way that I explain it to them is this: the term pornography, by definition, refers to a depiction of sexual activity. It is neither good or bad at...

  I recently viewed Maitland's scene with Chris Diamond. I found it very hot and passionate, and he is so gorgeous. I loved seeing a woman enjoy herself so much, and I also enjoyed the music and sets, and the camera shots--overall, a superior production. One quibble: the opening segment IMO was repetitive and overdone. How many times does she have to mug and play cute for the camera, dropping things and squealing? But I did like the scene.

  As a pro porn feminist, I do understand many of the concerns that anti-porn feminists have, regarding on set abuse, human trafficking, perps working in the industry, etc. These are very real dangers and issues, and they must be remedied and addressed. Some people are surprised to learn that Gail Dines and I know each other and don't hate each other; but none of these ladies acknowledge the presence of pro porn feminists, feminist porn, or even nonviolent couples porn. To me, the difference between antiporn feminists and antiporn evangelicals is that the former group started off with good intentions, but need to take a deeper look at the full spectrum of today's adult entertainment and those who make it. And they need to realize that we nee...

Meg from Heidi's site, I'm delighted to hear you promote male strippers and share my high regard for Suze Randall. In fact first developed an interest in the porn biz after reading her autobiography. She's fearless and has such a wicked sense of humour apart from being the best in the business at shooting and staging scenes. Also watched Two Hearts which you mention above, the tape of which I bought years ago as have long admired Gloria Leonard and liked Ona Zee. In general the performers of the Nineties and beyond looked so much better than many of their coun...

It seems that the majority of their criticism is to the profession itself. I think the majority of them would support the nordic-approach to prostitution where the workers themselves aren't penalized but the actual act of soliciting prostitutes was discouraged. These days, anti-porn feminists absolutely make sure to clarify they have no issue with sex workers (it would be career suicide to say otherwise), but how can you support sex workers and not shape your position around the complex experiences and wishes of sex workers? When sex workers point out the flaws in anti-porn arguments...

  jackdore wrote: I once had a chat with an anti-porn feminist of the kind who views are relentlessly reflected in the the media where I live in the UK, not least in the once liberal Guardian. She asserted all straight porn was by its nature sexist and unacceptable. When I asked her about women who liked male strippers, she said she had seen one show and was appalled - both the strippers and the women in the audience were being degraded. She saw it as another sinister machination by the 'sex industry' to expand its reach. 'We are becoming saturated with sex'. She regarded herself as progressive, but I reflected how similar her views were with those of the religious right in the US, people she would otherwise despise. Interesting view! I woul...

  Tessa wrote: This discussion gets me thinking about the topic of whether feminist porn is just switching gender roles and portraying women in ways men are portrayed in traditional porn, or is it something different all together. Like is it just replacing the male gaze with the female gaze and putting women and men playing roles tradionally occupied by the opposite sex. For example, the movie about a bordello where men sex workers service women clients that the Feminist Sexpert brought up. This isn't so different from mainstream porn except for the reversal of gender roles in which men are the sex workers and women are the clients. Tyically, it's vice versa. Or, does feminist porn enact it's own different style. Seems like it can be a mixtu...

  jackdore wrote: Thanks for the interesting replies to my query re sexually assertive women and feminist porn. Should have said was aware the sort of scenario where the woman aggressively makes the moves on her daughter's boyfriend could hardly be classed as feminist! Used to love Suze Randall's porn scenarios which could hardly be classed as feminist either but had superb photography, beautiful women and good-looking males, and the sex while often raunchy had passionate moments too. Thanks Jack, and agreed! I love Suze's work, and I know a gentleman who worked with her, when she shot him for Playgirl. She helped to innovate the female gaze!

  And, of course, the most widely quoted porn line of all, one that actually became a meme! "Right in front of my salad?" In the gay porn Private Lessons 3, an indignant wife walks into the kitchen to accept a gift of a freshly prepared gourmet salad from her husband--one currently having sex behind the counter with the hunky salad chef. The fiery beauty then makes this classic utterance, which went on to become a meme--the origins of which most people using the meme had no idea about!

  A couple of older references: The entire script of the film Immortal Desire is a thing of beauty, integrating poetry, romantic lines and historical references. My Surrender: Jeanna Fine's ending monologue in this Candida Royalle feature brings tears to the eyes. In the Lennox Films femme porn Snapshot, a frustrated female costume and makeup lady enjoys the attentions of three male models--declaring at the end, "I LOVE my job!" I actually paid tribute to this line in my erotic short story, Runway Angel. And from the Unintentional Humor department: In the movie The Naked Truth, Stephen St. Croix plays Janine's fiance --and repeatedly calls her Janine, as opposed to her character name of April. Perhaps not surprisingly, the couple breaks up.

  In this era, the time for silence is over. No more protection for predators. These women give so much of their bodies and spirits to form the backbone of this business and they will be respected.

  Tessa wrote: Another aspect of feminist porn that stands out to me are the lack of "pretty girl" scenes at the beginning that are common in mainsteam porn where the woman just models for the camera and the guy doesn't come in until later and she starts immediately sucking him off; or the woman is interviewed and asked questions such as "how old were you the first time you had sex" (which I never hear male performers being asked in porn videos). Sometimes a guy behind the camera is interviewing her and sometimes the male performer is in such cases, but I don't notice this in feminist porn. True! Inpulse's Erection Services, a feminist porn about a male bordello for women, actually opened with some male beauty shots, with stars like Alex San...

Good to see you on this forum. Think Josh should be really proud of himself as there are not too many men of his age with the self assurance and confidence to be such a great success in porn. Thank you, Jack! I'm glad to be here. And I agree, Josh's charm, intelligence and maturity have gotten him very far in the business-I can't wait to see what he does next!
