MY LIFE AS A FEMINIST PORNOGRAPHER
Goucher College, Baltimore, MD
Award-winning author Tristan Taormino shares her personal journey from writer and sex educator to self-identified feminist pornographer. She’ll dish details about the process of producing, directing, and starring in her first video, The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, from striking a deal with mainstream producer legend John Stagliano of Evil Angel Video to putting her ass on the line-literally. She’ll discuss why she chose to do porn, the challenges and breakthroughs she has seen within the adult industry with regards to women’s pleasure, and her personal goals for working within the industry. She will bring an old argument to a new level of discussion: Is feminist pornography a paradox or can we really create sex-positive empowering porn?
