Predictable porn made by men
Amongst other things, I decided to produce a different kind of porn because I was fed up with the cliches that the porn producers (MEN) want to make us believe in:
1. Women wear high heels to bed.
2. Men are never impotent.
3. When going down on a woman 10 secs is more than satisfactory.
4. If a woman gets busted masturbating by a strange man, she will not scream with embarrassment, but rather insist he have sex with her.
5. Every man has at least one litre sperm when he comes.
6. If there is two of them they “high five” each other (and the girl isn’t disgusted!)
7. Young beautiful women enjoy having sex with ugly, middle-aged men.
8. Women always orgasm when men do.
9. A blowjob will always get a woman off a speeding fine.
10. All women are noisy fucks.
11. Those tits are real.
12. Double penetration makes women smile.
13. Asian men don’t exist.
14. Neither man with small cocks.
15. If you come across a guy and his girlfriend having sex in the bushes, the boyfriend won’t bash seven shades of shit out of you if you shove your cock in his girlfriend’s mouth.
16. There’s a plot.
17. All women love slaps on their butts.
18. Nurses suck patients’ cocks.
19. Men always pull out.
20. When your girlfriend busts you getting head from her best friend, she’ll only be momentarily pissed off before fucking the both of you.
21. Women never have headaches… or periods.
22. When a woman is sucking a man’s cock, it’s important for him to remind her to “suck it”.
23. Assholes are clean and yummy.
24. Women always look pleasantly surprised when they open a man’s trousers and find a cock there.
25. And finally, Men never have to beg because a woman always wants to.
More about this in my new book: GOOD PORN: A WOMAN’S GUIDE
I’m not sure I want to know what “If there is two of them they “high five” each other” means…
(but seriously, what does that mean?)

All you say is incredibly (and a bit sadly) true.
That’s why I’m an amateur porn supporter!
Nice blog thus!

Well, double penetration makes ME smile. But I’m weird. :)

Very true, esp. since I work in porn with a bunch of thick headed men trying to constantly tell me a woman loves this sh*t and I am a WOMAN. No matter what you tell men that work in the industry(not trying to label all men in the industry) they actually think woman get off on this. I guess you have to lie to yourself to enjoy it more!?! But kudos to you Erika..I am a producer still caught up in the males libido producing his vision. Hopefully very soon I can bring my own creative vision to this industry.

Haze, right now I’m Toronto in the FEMINIST PORN AWARDS. The sole existence of this award is a good symboly that things are going to change. Thank you for your kind words.

Just sayin’, of all the women I’ve discussed sex with (partners and/or friends) I don’t know any who don’t enjoy double penetration (at least DV if they’re not into anal) or the occasional playful spank during sex. Then again, most of the friends I talk about sex with are pretty thoroughly kinky and tend to be into lots of other stuff that’s out of the mainstream, so…my sample is probably skewed as hell.
Also, some of the items on the list – like periods – are by necessity never going to be covered in porn, feminist or otherwise. Just like you never see the hero looking for parking in a movie, but that there’s always an empty spot right outside the building they’re going to.
Yes, a lot of this is ridiculous and wrong, but the list is partly redundant (for instance, 15 & 20 are essentially the same; in porn lust overrides all – it can also be argued that 18, 21, 24 & 25 are also more or less the same), partly it’s noting things that no porn, no matter how good and honest, will ever portray.
I genuinely applaud the idea of feminist porn, but this particular list seemed a little haphazard to me. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to complain about in mainstream porn, but I think it can be expressed more succinctly, sharply and truthfully.

If the porn was “real”, the woman would be ugly and fat like most in the US.

[...] Nessa minha caminhada feminista eu acabei me deparando com uma discussão que até pouco tempo fugia quase que totalmente da minha cabeça. Existe pornografia feminista? Porque dizer que a pornografia é machista e que ela é feita para homens verem é chover no molhado. E também não sou do time que acredita que todo pornografia é maléfica. Mas nunca parei para pensar ou pesquisar, se existia alguém no mundo tentando resignificar a coisa. E hoje eu descobri que tem. Tem inclusive uma solenidade que premia as melhores iniciativas no gênero, o Feminist Porn Awards (recomendo a visita ao site, explica muita coisa…) E a celebridade atualmente parece que é a Erika Lust’s, uma diretora com um rosto bem meigo, que já me ganhou só por esse post.

17. All women love slaps on their butts.
This one is actually true. I’m a woman, I know.
And DP is generally fine, as long as it doesn’t happen on the same hole.

It is great to find such interesting writing. I agree with most of what is written here. great article :p
Comment by sweet Ana — March 16, 2010 @ 6:40 pm
Yes, that really bothers me. What scares me is that there is a whole generation of men that thinks that sex and women are what they see in in this kind of movies.
Unfortunately the mainstream porn industry is a reflex of egotistic men desires.
I always looked for real behavior and realistic stories in porn.
It is so beautiful to see woman really liking what they are doing! Thank you for your work!
Comment by Endless_Nameless — March 23, 2010 @ 3:17 pm
Just to add, from what i heard from the teenagers (in my country), unfortunately the young women are already with the idea that what they see in porn is the real thing, so there are a lot of girls with age of 13,14,15 and 16 that think that:
1) Any pubic hair are gross;
2) It is natural for women to be used and their function in sex is just to give pleasure to men.
3) The positions depicted in porn are all real and natural.
4) Woman must scream to show that they are enjoying (related to number 2).
5) Real pleasure only comes when men put it out.
I ask myself how and when this is going to change
Comment by Endless_Nameless — March 23, 2010 @ 3:48 pm
I just found out about this project, and I’m amazed. Partly that no one has done it before, and partly that it feels good. I really dislike the way porn shows women, but still I enjoy it. Thought, almost everything I’ve seen makes me feel disgusted and focus too much on the woman and not much on the man.
And still, it’s kind of forbidden for a woman to feel lust and take what she want’s to. Since I do that, it makes me feel bad sometimes, but I try not to. I can do what I want.
I’m a big fan, Erika.
