Let’s face it; queer women are definitely without when it comes to adult entertainment. In yet another male dominated industry, the image shoved down our throats (figuratively speaking) of lesbians enjoying each other is so off the mark.
We make do, of course, but the adult filmmakers should take note. Here are five things lesbians want but don't get from porn.
1. Realistic Queer Women
Watching two straight women on screen, complete with long, perfectly styled hair and fake nails (ouch) isn’t realistic. Give us a Shane-From-The-L-Word lookalike and some sort of Alex Prepon/Ruby Rose mash up and you have a winner.
2. Context
Women don’t need the bullshit storylines that come with most pornos, but we do need a bit more than just “look … tits!” Please, enough of the “housewife seduces babysitter” crap. At least come up with something a bit queerer.
3. Respect the Toys
OK, toys are going to be in 90 percent of girl-on-girl movies, but something ridiculous always happens like one actress putting it in and around her mouth?! As if that isn’t an image created for men then I don’t know what is.
4. Mutuality
So much “lesbian” porn portrays one predatory woman “turning” an innocent, which is ridiculous. Few queer women have experienced that. We’re more likely to have had our first experience with an equally closeted cohort, not been ritually and aggressively seduced by our tennis coach.
5. Authenticity
From wardrobe to make up, queer women are unlikely to keep their pretty stripper heels or makeup on during sex. Obviously, this is standard, but for lady loving ladies, we need to actually believe what’s going on there. Give me a woman in boy boxers and a sports bra any day. Keep your lace thongs.
With the LGBT movement evolving so many corners of culture, let’s hope that someone figures out what to do about lesbian porn. In the meantime, I’ll keep my eye on the offerings to see how it’s coming along. You know, for research.
