“Don’t get me wrong,” said Lust on stage at the Royal before the lights went down. “We talk about what they like doing, what feels natural to them and who they enjoy performing with.” The result, she says, is more realistic, believable performances, with real women displaying real pleasure. “I have very close relationships with my performers,” she explained. When she asked to meet the actors before selecting her stars, the agent scoffed. After briefly showing her some photos, the agent asked Lust to choose. She recalls approaching an agency to find actors for her first film. For Lust, one of the biggest differences between mainstream and feminist porn is the process. The label often confuses, as many people see the two constructs - pornography and feminism - as opposites.
She says that the same studios that once scoffed are now churning out more and more porn that resembles what she is making.īut while the industry grows, it is still widely misunderstood. It has 50,000 members - 2000 of them paid - and about 60 per cent of those viewers are women. Today, her website turns real viewers’ fantasies into short films. Lust got to work proving her naysayers wrong. “Women won’t pay to watch sex,” they told her. She remembers approaching a mainstream studio about the idea of creating porn marketed specifically towards female viewers.

It’s a look that reflects her ethos in erotic filmmaking - casual, happy and real. Dressed in jeans, a T-shirt and runners, Lust is hardly cultivating a sexpot image for herself. Lust travelled from her hometown of Barcelona to attend the awards and to host a special screening of her short film series,. “We’re still very much a niche market, but things are changing,” said the bubbly Swede in the lobby of the Royal last Wednesday evening. Over the years she’s witnessed feminist porn emerge as its own genre, but is the first to admit that it’ll be while before it can rival the behemoth that is the mainstream pornography industry. This year also marks Lust’s tenth in the industry.
