ABSTRACT

“A feminist porno star?” Right, tell me another one, I can hear some feminists saying. I hear a chorus of disbelief, a lot like the two crows in the Disney movie “Dumbo”— “I thought I’d seen everything till I saw an elephant fly.” On the surface, contradictions seem to abound. But one of the most basic tenets of feminism, a tenet with which I was inculcated by the age of ten, was the right to sexual free expression, without being told by society (or men) what was right, wrong, good, or bad. But why porno? Simple—I’m an exhibitionist with a cause: to make sexually graphic (hard core) erotica, and today’s porno is the only game in town. But it’s a game where there is a possibility of the players, over time, getting some of the rules changed.
