The Evolution of Erotica

This episode traces the beginnings of lesbian porn made by lesbians for lesbians. Reacting against the widespread anti-porn bias in mainstream feminism, and fed up with the showy girl-on-girl action typically found in porn manufactured for straight men, these sex-positive pioneers decided to put the cameras and control in their own hands. They created an emerging genre of lesbian pornography and erotica dedicated to representing lesbian desires from a lesbian perspective that has turned into a mega-business. We talk to Nan Kinney about creating On Our Backs, the seminal lesbian erotic magazine. Nan explains how On Our Backs went on to spawn Fatale Media, which was the first porn video company that produced lesbian porn for lesbians. Shar Rednour, who first started working as an editor at On Our Backs, brings us behind the scenes of the magazine and reveals lesbians readers reactions. She also talks about starting S.I.R. video, and what it was like to gain mainstream recognition when "How to Fuck in High Heels" won an AVN award. Also, world-famous feminist porn star Nina Hartley talks about straddling both sides of the fence as a mainstream porn star as well as an actor for Fatale Media, and lesbian porn expert Diana Cage brings context and perspective regarding these pioneering women of lesbian porn.
