It wasn’t until then that I had the space, time, and tools to really think about the structures of mainstream porn and its messages, who’s behind it and who gets to have a voice and so on.

Lust's works also have something big going for them that the porn industry we know and tolerate doesn't: the potential for mainstream crossover.

So when I refer to my work as other things, it doesn’t mean I reject the feminist label – not at all. NAILED: That’s interesting — do you think that bringing in the term “feminism” to describe what you do professionally had too much of a political charge to it? Last month, actress Emma Watson talked to Gloria Steinem about the need for "awesome, great alternatives to pornography" that focus on women's pleasure. In 2010 Lust published Love Me Like You Hate Me: Lessons in Pleasure and Pain , a book about the taboos of domination and submission, and Erotic Bible to Europe: From Kinky to Chic , both which she co-wrote with Venus O’Hara. Besides being an excellent tool for education, getting to know the cast and crew on a more personal level through their interviews and BTS clips adds so much to the overall experience.This is a real treat for true cinema lovers, as they’ll come to find that many of the films and series featured on the site are shot using the same conditions as actual Big Time Hollywood films. It’s so refreshing to see the amount of work that goes into producing one of these films, from the camera crew to the actors and performers. I had a eureka moment when studying Lina Williams (and her book Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the “Frenzy of the Visible”) and I realized that mainstream porn is not something that reflects a truth about sex – it’s a statement, an idea, it’s expressing ideologies and values, opinions about sex and gender.

Feminist porn is slowly getting a better reputation as the industry slowly recognizes its equity problems.

Lust Cinema previously featured queer couples and other LGBTQ representation, but its first film featuring a transgender performer was released in December 2017.The content you’ll find on here is diverse–it spans many kinks and fetishes, features models of all shapes, sizes, ages, skin colors, genders, and sexual orientations. Then they watch as a handsome gender studies professor seduces his sole female student into an explicit romp in the classroom. Erika’s philosophy for a new adult cinema is based on four main ideas: women’s pleasure matters; adult cinema can have cinematic values; we need more inclusivity of diverse body types, ages and ethnicities; and the production process must be ethical.

While it does offer some trans content, a majority of it wasn’t released until this year which begs the question, did the team not know trans people existed (and/or watched porn) until 2020? Among her 6 notable written works are Let´s Make a Porno: a Practical Guide to Filming Sex, La Canción de Nora, and Good Porn: a Woman’s Guide.In 2019 Erika was named as one of the BBC 100 Women’s most influential women of the year and in the last year she has been featured in several major documentary series in the UK and Germany, with more expected to air in 2020. I will also extensively talk with them about what they like, if there is anyone they wish to work with, and to find out what they are like as people and see if they share my values. Other contemporaries include Courtney Trouble, a queer porn icon, and the philosophy graduate Ovidie, whose nickname is "the intellectual.
