Celebrate Feminist Porn!

It’s no secret that hubs and I (who write erotic romance together under the pen name Adriana Kraft) enjoy our share of porn flicks, often as part of foreplay. Some of our characters do, too – most notably, Jennifer Andrews, from our Swinging Games series at Extasy Books. Watching videos together with her husband, Jennifer discovered that she got turned on by imagining herself on the receiving end of the actresses, even more than the actors. Could she be bisexual? She and Brett turned to the swing lifestyle to find out, and our series was launched.

Who was she watching? We weren’t privileged to be in the bedroom with Jen and Brett while the DVDs were running (though that might have been fun :)), but we can bet the best of them were from some of the new feminist porn directors who emerged over the last decade.

This morning over at Get Lusty for Couples, we ran across an interview with Erika Lust, whose work we highly recommend. She’s doing on film what we hope we’re doing on the page of our novels: “Watching an erotic film together could be the ultimate fantasy for some people, or it may open doors to new ones – like exploring fetishes, trying new positions or even making a film of one’s own! The key here is communication, and watching films together can really get the ball rolling, especially if you’re having a hard time explaining what you want, or what you fantasize about trying.”

Maybe Jen and Brett watched Five Hot Stories for Her, or perhaps it was Life Love and Lust. If you’d like to explore Erika’s work, you can download two free shorts by signing up for her newsletter at this LINK on her Facebook page.

You’ll be glad you did!
