I’m a feminist and I like porn. A lot of people think that the two don’t mix, but I will have you know: that isn’t so. In fact, we mix quite well. My roots in feminism are bound to the timeless idea that a woman has a right to choose, and to not be questioned on that choice. The same goes for porn and my involvement in or enjoyment of it. 

Over the years, I have watched my fair share of porn and have come to understand the tropes that inform my own desires with sex. Furthermore, I let them be and enjoy the fuck out of them. But I have encountered many friends, women, and queer folks who disclose a sense of guilt or shame when they tell me then enjoy watching a woman be humiliated or dominated in a world of porn that entitles men as its primary audience. But I say: Do away with the guilt and shame you feel, lest they hold your fantasies hostage. 

In order to guide my fellow feminists on their quests to find their fucking fantasy (guilt- and shame-free) in 2013, I have compiled a list of types of porn that may fuck with the cultural norm. 

So go forth and cum!

Public Humiliation

Who doesn’t love a little Public Humiliation? “Public Shame” porn is geared towards the participant’s fantasies. In this way, public humiliation can be quite empowering, as any person living out their fantasy may find. Great sites (like publicdisgrace.com) feature some super sexy Public Humiliation fantasies with squirt-inducing porn stars. Personally, I’d let James Deen humiliate me any day, anywhere. The majority of videos in the Public Humiliation realm are, of course, of women being man-handled to the extreme.  

Hentai

Cartoon or animated porn allows us to imagine sex in a way that may not be physically possible. Hentai animation is juicy: characters of the Hentai that I have been privy to witness are artists of excessive wetness. If you like sloppy, wet sex with cute characters, Hentai might be worth a shot (no pun intended). There is a mixture of female roles in a lot of Hentai; sometimes the female anime characters are young, sweet and virginal, while other times they are dominant, horny, and octopus-tentacle-obessed. 

BDSM

Whips, chains, bondage, and gagging. What else can one really say about BDSM? This pornographic genre has seen much contention over its time, but if you’re down for pain or being the bearer of such, then perhaps skimming some BDSM porn for ideas is for you. There is a large culture of BDSM’ers in almost every city, and I’ll have you know that Toronto is no exception. We’ll be sure to keep you folks posted on Leather gatherings in and around the city (most likely in caves, dungeons, and dark bars).  

Hirsutism (commonly called ‘Hair Fetish’)

Hirsutism plays on the cultural condemnation of body hair. It features furry women; women with wild bushes, arm pit hair galore, fuzzy upper lips, and fine treasure lines leading the way up their butt cracks. If you feel like watching some girls who aren’t ashamed of their natural hairiness get their fuck on, go on and get hairy with Hirsutism. 

Feminist Porn

All hail Feminist Porn! It is the all-encompassing genre that has women, feminists, and us queer folks as the target audience. Feminist Porn is down for the real fucking scenes. I’m talking body hair, girl-on-girl, sweat, squirt fests, trans-folks, safe sex, strap-on’s, and yes, hetero sex, too! Feminist porn is not about queers and women only—it’s about showcasing realistic ways of getting off, and not leaving the male cum-shot as the grand finale. Feminist Porn heralds the orgasm as the “be all, end all” in the magical world of porn. Feminist Porn is inclusive and not festishizing or demeaning, showcasing all women, all colours, all creeds, and all sizes. Check out queerporn.tv or Toronto’s Good For Her store at Harbord and Spadina for some quality Feminist Pornography.

Brief, but hopefully sufficient, I hope this guide has wielded within you a desire to find some alternatives to the fantasies you once new. Make 2013 the year of finding your feminist fucking fantasy and let the crazy, sexy you out.
