(not really) Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:16:27 +0000 http://www.wakingvixen.com/blog/?p=868#comment-24960 [...] Like I wrote about a bit in my Berlin Porn Film Festival diary post, I was on a panel called “Good Porn for Good Girls” that featured some female porn directors. When I first found out about the panel, I was a little apprehensive - the idea of me being a good girl is kind of funny (to say the least), and it’s also annoying that despite the fact that I’ve never called The Bi Apple “porn for women,” other people enthusiastically slap that label on it. I’m a woman, and a self-identified feminist. Ergo, my porn must be for women. Really, I find this tiresome - I made The Bi Apple for people who want to see a slightly different vision of sexual interaction, people who are queer or pansexual or just plain curious about people and bodies and fucking. Women are of course invited - but so is everyone.

Really interesting to hear about the different attitudes toward women and porn. I'm thinking this might be a contributor to the, um, *communication difficulties* some (mostly American) online pals and I have had with some (mostly British) anti-porn feminists.

Amazing. You do really admirable work, in my opinion, and it's great to see you taking that across the globe. Wow! Amazing.

Does the US have a more puritan attitude towards sex than in European countries? Probably. But it also has a much more libertarian attitude towards personal freedom, most especiallly in the realm of personal expression.
