Our hats off to Candida Royalle, who earned a Lifetime Achievement Award for her pioneering work in women’s erotica at the first Feminist Porn Awards held in Toronto, Canada. If you are a first time porn viewer, or uneasy about mainstream porn, check out Candida Royalle’s work such as Eyes of Desire 2 or My Surrender. She was the first mainstream pornographer to make a career of creating quality straight couples’ movies. Her films (marketed under Femme Productions) feature female characters with full lives, jobs, and personalities—they aren’t just interchangeable bodies. A well-deserved achievement, Candida talents never cease to amaze us—first with her adult movies, and then with her line of tasteful, female friendly toys (see the Ultime, Liberte and Energie). Last year she wrote the wonderfully-titled book How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do. We can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
