"“How is say one cunnilingus shot different from another?” There’s a huge difference in how it’s shot, for a start. Cunnilingus that’s good for the camera (i.e. focuses on tongue barely touching pink) is very different from cunnilingus done for sexual arousal (and porn directors that focus on female arousal tend to focus on the facial expressions vs the actual act). Other things you might see more often in porn made for women: -use of sex toys that are high quality, body safe, and sterile (silicone, metal, glass) -short fingernails! -less focus on penetration -sexual contact after orgasm (the “moneyshot” is not the finishing point) -longer scenes of oral sex on women -showing and sexualizing the soft penis vs just the hard -more use of safer sex, sometimes even shown on camera -different body types/ethnicities on film without that being objectified- so, curvy women, small breasts, butch women, and people of colour, without the title being “Black Beauties” or “Whale Watching” Other things you don’t see, but that happen behind the scenes: -contracts that are respected- no bait and switch like you often get in mainstream porn -performers encouraged to work with people they want to work with and do sexual acts they enjoy on film, vs providing a warm body -performers having some say in the editing process That’s just a starting place. Feel free to ask more about it. I’m the founding member of Ladies High Tea and Pornography Society, along with starting a British queer porn collective, so I’m pretty schooled when it comes to feminist and female-gaze pornography and how it differs from male-gaze porn. And frankly, I’d argue that some of Anna Span’s original work was very much male-gaze porn made by a woman because it failed some of the above points in how it was shot."

This was in response to someone asking how on earth cunnilingus shots could be feminist/female gaze vs male gaze. I was like, “do you even WATCH porn?” But then not everyone is as rabid about porn as I am, I guess.

This is amazing! Thanks Kitty. :)
Three cheers for queer! Porn that shows real sex and all the different forms and functions of sex!

SO TRUE! porn is so much better when the person going down on them is doing something that actually looks like it will make them cum!
