‘Feminist Porno’ ?

[Bocefish]

Excerpted from Campus Reform: A group of Columbia University and Barnard College alumni filmed a feminist pornographic film in the school’s Butler Library to fight what they see as “gender tension” at Columbia.

The NSFW film, titled “Initiatiøn,” was filmed as a feminist statement exploring “the rituals of American Ivy League secret societies, to the point of hysteria, highlighting our culture’s perception of female desire,” according to an article published on Gawker.

It begins with a group of girls sitting around a library table taking their shirts off. As the film progresses, the girls engage in activities including kissing, rubbing eggs on their bodies and twerking around chicken carcass.

Not sure what makes that particularly "feminist". I think a porn film that'd treat men and women as equals would basically be something along the lines of a man and a woman being together and talking to each other in a civil manner, the man being polite and considerate to the woman and the woman treating him in the same way. And then when they have sex both parties would be equally as sexualised and also equally pleasured. No fake orgasms and using the woman as a wank doll, genuine time taken over going down on a woman and letting her have a genuine orgasm. No thrusting the penis as deep and fast into her mouth, pussy and ass as possible, letting her take it gently at her own pace, having sex in positions that feel good for the woman as well as the man. I enjoy hard, fast sex, but I do not enjoy being fucked in the way men fuck women in porn films.

Pretty much all mainstream porn is sexist, it treats the woman as an object and the man as the dominant party. The woman is always the one being sexualised and in focus and the pleasure is generally all about the guy. Sometimes you get a guy going down on a girl, but not in a way that looks or would feel particularly pleasurable for her. It's very obviously all just for the cameras. I don't particularly mind mainstream porn, I'm a pretty dominant person but I quite enjoy being submissive during sex, though I enjoy either role and usually am more dominant, I tend to get more turned on at the idea of being submissive. Though this may just be because most porn I've watched is like that and it's an unusual thing for me.

I think perhaps in current society where women are fighting to be seen as equals and not as sex objects and men are trying to treat women equally and not mess things up maybe the whole idea of sexism has become a taboo fetish, so the whole aspect of porn is a fetish in itself. Though many men do treat women in this way in real life, and I think porn being so mainstream has definitely given some guys the wrong impression, maybe part of the thrill is that if a man talks to a woman like that in real life, even during sex, he'll probably get a slap in the face.

That's an art project, not pornography.

Yeah. First thing that came to mind was Potter Stewart - "But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Agreed! I see some mainstream porn that is over the top!
Softcore i guess could be more realistic kind of
