Yay for Anna Span-  this is a big step forward for modern feminism. but it is kind of alarming that the BBFC were, up til now, so very adamant the women just couldn't orgasm in that way!
Also, the more exposure (excuse the pun) that female and female-friendly porn makers get, the better. There is a certian sector of feminism that says that all porn is degrading to women. I disagree, but I do think the vast, vast majority of mainstreme porn is degrading to women. Porn will never go away, and I don't think it should, but a gender democatization of smut? that's both more feasible and desireable. The idea that women can have their own fantasies independant of pleasing men is still frowned on by a lot of people- as demonstrated by the amount of hoo-ha earlier this year when Filament magazine- that specialise in printing arty pictures of pretty men (not just muscle-bound hunks) for the female gaze- tried to publish (shock horror!) a picture of an erect penis. Even the comparatively tame Scarlet magazine was banned from some newsagents for being too saucy- while the same shops don't bat an eyelid at page 3 or Nuts magazine.

Everyone should be allowed to get their rocks off in whatever way they choose (rape, incest and bestiality excepted), and women should have as much choice as men- and they should be allowed to ejaculate afterwards without being told that, sorry, women just can't do that sort of thing.

And yes, I know all of my friendslist are liberal feminists themselves and I am essentially preaching to the converted...!

i think that porn is not only degrading to women - but men too - and the act of sex itself. saying that, i am glad women are being taken seriously as they should in any profession... although if i'm looking to be aroused by an outer medium, i'd be more likely to read erotica from D.H. Lawrence or Anais Nin (another woman who was taken seriously!)

Thankyou for spelling bestiality correctly, on a side-note...
