Our Porn, Ourselves

Our Porn, Ourselves

Found via Viviane’s Sex Carnival:
Our Porn, Ourselves
“Our Porn, Ourselves: For women who are pro-porn and all those who support us. WE are the answer to anti-porn feminists. All genders welcome.

The name is a tribute to the legendary feminist book that helped women take back control of their sexual health and sexual pleasure, Our Bodies, Our Selves.

Organizer Violet Blue found out about the upcoming anti-porn feminist conference being held in Boston next month (June 12-13), and decided she’d had enough. So did a lot of other women, and men, and people of all genders and orientations who are pro-porn and support a woman’s right to choose, explore and enjoy porn.

We women are tired of people trying to control our sexuality by telling us what we should or shouldn’t like sexually (porn) based on what someone else thinks is best for us. It’s like keeping women in a perpetual state of being children about sex. And women who say they are feminists make it worse by discounting all the women who find porn to be an empowering sex toy. Or if not, to at least give us the benefit of the doubt that we can make that decision for ourselves, thank you very much.”

One of my favorite posts was the Anti-Porn Bingo game, originally created by Furry Girl. I’ve heard many of the “reasons” listed on the game.

Debauched Diva attended the anti-porn feminist conference and is blogging about it. you can read about her thoughts here.

I’m a feminist and I like porn! I’ve even made some. ; )
