Sex-positive feminist talks about defending herself from non sex-positive feminists I might have issues with the sex-positive and feminist communities, but this is a really great article.

Theatre Performance of  Allah Makes Muslims Allah Makes Queers I think we’ve totally missed all the shows, but it’s good to hear about queer Muslims speaking up.

Looking at People You Find Attractive- Street Harassment I know I’m probably preaching to the choir with this link, but it’s nice to see it articulated so well.

One woman’s definition of feminist porn I have to disagree about his production quality being an indicator of feminist pornographic content. It costs money to have high production quality, and there’s no reason why an amateur with a consumer grade camcorder can’t make feminist porn. That’s what I do. I don’t think it’s very feminist to say that folks with a smaller budget can’t make feminist porn. It’s really kind of classist, but classism seems to be a common theme in the feminist movement.

A nice academic essay about the importance of pornography from a feminist perspective I suggest skipping the comments because too many of them are not at the same level of discourse as the original article.

In part 1 she writes about whether or not women are objectified by porn. (generally not) I don’t know if folks realize how many women work in management and production of mainstream porn, and how women really have the power to call the shots behind the scenes. Even porn magazines like Playboy portray women in a much more positive light than women’s magazines such as Cosmo.

Porn by the Numbers 2: Is pornography violent? and I agree with her again that the actors are acting, and getting paid to play a role. There are also a number of women who enjoy rough sex or BDSM. It seems to me that folks like to project their own experiences and feelings on pornography. I understand that rape, sexual assault and violence are major issues but that’s not what the vast majority of pornography is portraying. The numbers just don’t add up.

Myth #3: Viewing pornography changes the way men view women. Very common, totally untrue, and the studies being quoted are weak. Unrealistic portrayals of women., men and relationships happen all over the media. I grew up with a whole load of bad relationship and body image information thanks to TV and movies. Pornography and sex work has been a very positive influence on my life in many ways, including relationships and body image.

Myth #4: Porn is a huge business [that is taking over the Internet] I wish!!! You realize that I’ve been working in adult entertainment since 2001 and I finally quit my day job in June. I constantly have to remind new adult entrepreneurs that they are not going to be millionaires any time soon, and certainly not without a lot of hard work and business management skills.

Porn by the Numbers 5: On feminist porn Duh! Are people not aware of marketing porn by specifically calling it feminist and the growing market of porn for women? Because that’s all I do these days.

Compared with women who are totally straight, women who are slightly bisexual are more likely to have tried various sex acts with men. In fact, compared with totally straight women, women who are fully bisexual or lesbian are more likely to have tried anal sex.
