Feminist Porn: The Woman’s POV

I’ve been watching The Woman’s POV with much interest – a new site by Madison Young, it combines hardcore porn by women, for women (lesbian and queer flavored) with sex and culture content. It’s half paysite and half essays and toy, book and video reviews, all exploring the female point of view (POV) on watching, making and getting off on porn. I love it. The site is just getting started, so the content is just building up and updating weekly, but what they have is really fantastic.

I like the balance they’ve got going on, and their manifesto is energizing – talk about the new new wave of feminist porn… This is like feminist porn from the future, far outside of the rigid dogmas about women, sex, and pornography in wider feminist culture(s) – or mainstream porn culture. Send this link to the nervous anti-porn feminist nellies who run conventional thought about women and porn in the UK, and they’d need their smelling salts. And that’s not just a good thing; I think it’s necessary.

Here’s The Woman’s POV Value Statement:

The Woman’s POV is dedicated to the authentic documentation of female pleasure and orgasms. We realize the power of orgasm and plan on changing the world one climax at a time.

We are devoted to showing diversity in female identity, the expression of feminine sexual desire, diversity of body types, as well as a wide spectrum of sexual and gender identities.

We are devoted to empowering women and creating safe space for exploration of sexual desires and fantasies by handing women in our community the camera. Its time to turn on the camera and get turned on.

We are dedicated to obliterating body shame and sexual negativity through realizing and documenting of our sexual desires and our sexual culture.

We are ready to reclaim the term pornography and recruiting YOU and YOUR LOVER/S and FRIENDS to pick up the camera and show us YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

They’re currently taking international and domestic submissions. The site’s nav is a little clunky, but the video teasers are hot, and they’re building a Feminist Porn Network community. I love it.

FYI: Madison Young is madly, beautifully 8 months pregnant right now with a little tiny feminist. Courtney Trouble has these pretty pictures of her.

Disclosure: I noticed they reviewed my newest erotica collection a while back, which was a pleasant surprise.
