Thanks for the Ethical Porn, Netherlands!

I don’t watch that much porn.

I’ve dabbled. I watch it every once in awhile. It just never seems to really appeal to me – it’s so obvious that most if not all of mainstream hetero porn is targeted towards men/regular porn users: the lighting sucks, the men looks like hideous clubbers from downtown on a saturday night, and the sex looks extremely unappealing.

The problem is that I really WANT TO like porn, and to be able to find something that will actually get me off. I’m talking like a decently shot film, or at least a film shot with care, involving two actors who seem to kind of like each other and are actually marginally attractive and into having sex with each other. Is that too much to ask?

Enter “porna.” Porna is defined as pornography made by and for women. Most “porna” describes itself as being feminist, and basically ignoring and rallying against the sexist tropes that exist in most mainstream porn. The validity of this ‘feminist’ label has been brought into question, as some people still see it as a form of exploitation, but nonetheless, this is porno designed to appeal to the sensibilities of women.

Even better – “Dusk,” a full-fledged digital porna channel, is coming from the Netherlands over to North America. Dusk intends to provide accessible porna to the starving masses in North America who decry the over-abundance of money shots and painful looking anal penetration in their porns.
