The new UK porn legislation will turn erotic film into boring, unrealistic male fantasy – Comment – Voices – The Independent
Porn and adult film has always been a very male dominated industry – we need more women in porn as it is – but it seems that we are now back in an era of Victorian morality. The suppression of sexuality in the UK is not a new development, but recently it appeared that we were making some progress. The last year, for example, has seen a huge increase in women speaking out more freely about their sexuality. Suddenly, we’re seeing more female porn producers, and more adult film created specifically for women. So it should come as little surprise to me, knowing the struggle that we have had to break porn away from the masculine industry and regulation, that these same women are now being oppressed.
