Feminist porn, porn for women, porn for couples – in the past few years, porn has shifted directions a bit, moving away from the Cum On My Face #14 gonzo films that stocked porn stores everywhere. Well, actually, they still do, but there are some newer kids on the block, too.
What does it mean when a film is called “porn for women” though? First, this implicitly sets up the idea that all other porn is “porn for men”, not something that women would ever want to watch. Second, it claims to have some idea of what “women” in general want. Sometimes, that boils down to people who are into each other having a lot of fun – a concept I think we can all get behind. It can also mean playing to stereotypes about all women wanting candles and flowers and love poems and massages.
The reason I have a problem with the idea of “porn for women” is that, anecdotally, I just don’t experience it. I’ve spent five years talking to Babeland customers about porn and I’ve meet just as many men who are absolutely fed up with what they’re supposed to love and many women who are looking for something with some hardcore action in it.
