What Is Feminist Porn? Great Question.

Image from a brilliant article on Decode + Disrupt - go read it!
As you might have guessed, I'm a pro-porn kind of gal. But more importantly, I'm a pro-equality kind of gal, which means I'm a feminist kind of gal, which means I get a lot of questions about how I can be pro-porn. The more nuanced ones boil down to this.

And then of course, there's the Annual Feminist Porn Awards. I'm not going to pretend to have any authority on what went down, so let's just hand the mic over to Buzzfeed:
The audience for the Eighth Annual Feminist Porn Awards is shimmying in and out of a tightly packed bar full of bow ties and Tumblr-esque galaxy prints. A woman in a hunter-green pencil dress and Mad Men–era updo reaches for a glass of wine, revealing a tuft of armpit hair — obviously a conscious choice. The awards take place in Toronto, and this year's event is held in a posh venue normally used for wedding receptions. There is a swirling staircase up to a balcony, a row of crystal chandeliers, and a giant screen projecting writhing naked bodies. Moans echo over the audience, who cheer as a man on screen is penetrated with a dildo; the scene shot with dreamy sort of cinematography.
Later a sequin-jacketed MC says to the audience, seemingly out of context, "In sex work, get that money, darlin'. Get it up front. Get it. Get it. Get it." Behind me a woman with a septum piercing says to the girl beside her, "Yeah, but with films...that's hard." In feminist porn, how to actually make money is one of many open questions.
With the hundreds of guests that came to the event, it's clear that what's happening here is a movement, an industry and a philosophy, all of which seem to be in a constant shift. For some, feminist porn may sound like an oxymoron — and in reality, feminist porn does remain a bundle of contradictions. None of this stops feminist pornographers from moving full speed ahead with an agenda of equality and fairer working conditions in porn. But as feminist porn expands to include the kind of hardcore scenes typical of more mainstream films, can it stay true to its ideological roots? And will staying true to those roots ever be profitable?
Now, Buzzfeed does a fantastic job of breaking this question down, and they make some great points. Go read it. But I need to get something off my chest: every time the debate about whether mainstream porn situations can still function in a feminist context starts up, I want to beat my head against a wall, because I'm so tired of feeling like my voice, and the voice of other submissive feminist women like me (yep, we exist), are being completely ignored. The whole point of feminism is for all people to have control over their bodies and actions -- and this is what groups like FEMEN miss in their unilateral protest against Islam, and what Sinfest misses in their comics, and what pro-lifers ignore in their pleas to protect the fetus -- it's my damn body, and I can choose to allow someone to "abuse" it, if that's what gets me off, if I fucking feel like it.

So what is feminist porn? I would say it's porn, period. If all parties are enthusiastically consenting adults and under no duress, then I say HELLS YES, do whatever you want as long as it's Safe, Sane and Consensual. I challenge anyone to tell me why that's not a feminist ideal, and how, when that ideal is applied to the porn industry, we don't arrive at something that can unreservedly hailed as feminist porn.

Whew, got a little hot and bothered there. Do go and read the rest of the Buzzfeed article about the Feminist Porn Awards, and then make a stop over at the Decode + Disrupt article I linked to in the caption.

And now, ladies and gents, some DAMN SEXY feminist porn, courtesy of award-winner Courtney Trouble and the very exciting Library Vixen blog:

50 Shades of False Assumptions

I has thought to blog my way through the issues I have with the representation of BDSM in 50 Shades of Grey, but luckily, I found that someone had already done the hard work for me.

Lyla Cicero, the genius behind Undercover In The Suburbs, breaks it down:

With the increasing media attention to BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism) it’s more important than ever to be clear on what BDSM/kink is and is not. 
With the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey the kink community was caught. On the one hand, the community wanted to build on the attention and increased acceptance of kink lifestyles, on the other hand it wanted to dispel the aspects of this portrayal seen as clearly unrealistic. In my feminist circles, folks struggled with wanting to accept women’s choices of sexual expression while having concerns about BDSM being inherently oppressive to women. 
As a sex-positive feminist who is training to be a sex therapist, I feel many of these concerns grow out of misinformation about what kink is and what causes folks to be into it. In order to make space for feminists who are part of the kink community, be good allies to those with diverse sexual interests and preferences, and work to continue to expand (rather than limit) the possibilities for sexual expression, we need to be clearer about what kink is and isn’t.  
Myth One:  BDSM is abusive and/or oppressive to women. 
For our own sake, and in order to support folks in the Kink/BDSM communities, we have got to learn to differentiate between fantasy and reality, consent and non-consent, and understand the concept of play.The BDSM motto is “safe, sane and consensual.”  We’ll get to the safe part later. The sane is there because one must be mentally healthy to fully consent. So if BDSM requires consent by a sane individual, insisting it is abusive or oppressive means insisting a female engaging in it is ill-equipped to give consent. 
Assuming a woman who consents is agreeing to abuse or oppression is no better than assuming a women who chooses to have an abortion can’t be trusted to understand or make that decision. I think many feminists (and others) wonder how someone with self-respect would consent to BDSM because they fail to distinguish between a behavior happening during abuse, and the same behavior occurring in another context. I allow my toddlers to swat at me, bite me, and kick me in the face. I wouldn’t let my co-worker do those things. Holding down a two year old to change her diaper is not the same as holding down a child to sexually abuse her. So why then, would we assume being tied up by a sexual partner with full, open communication and consent is the same as being tied up during a sexual assault? There is a fundamental difference. Being tied up, handcuffed, spanked, flogged, gagged, is all about context.

'Allo, Dahlings!

Now now, I know I've been gone far, far too long. But, at least when I come back, I bring you goodies!

This lovely clip I found while I was browsing around the internet with my BFF Hitachi, and I have to say, I was quite charmed! He's pretty enough to be in a cologne ad, and she's got a nice lithe body and great tush. The nails, not so much. The moaning, not so much. But the background music, eet is so, so so very FRENCH, and thus we come to the difficult decision between the Parisian Cafe feel of this fuck and the eternal desire to not listen to porn stars making fools of themselves.

This time, I chose in favor of the music. Bon appetite!!
