The Porn (R)Evolution
Check out my monthly contribution to “Porn at Large” column in the Village Voice Sex Blog - NakedCity.com!
Every Thursday, Naked City expands your pornographic worldview with tales from the far reaches of the earth. Four international pornographers share this space to tell all about the experiences of being porny and making porn outside of the United States.
Bren Ryder is the creator of Good Dyke Porn, an independent amateur hard core pornographic video website which proudly features authentic queer women having amazingly hot sex.
I had a conversation with a friend recently who is a no-nonsense, out-spoken, hard-core feminist about porn. We were talking about what I do and she listened politely as I spoke about it and then proceeded to let me know why porn was incredibly wrong and harmful to women. I admit it, I was shocked. I really didn’t know that feminists still felt that way. She was utterly against all porn for the following reasons: the violence against women, the profiting off of women’s sex (and violence against her) and using powerless and vulnerable women. I’m sure that does happen in the world. I don’t doubt that, unfortunately. But, then I had to ask, “What does any of that have to do with what I do?” She replied, You make porn.
Porn. It’s a word that holds a lot of meaning for people…
Follow me on my journey as I figure it all out.
