For Aurora Snow, who used to act in adult films, the distinction is one of pleasure:
On a mainstream porn set you might hear a director shout out, “Count to five and then orgasm!” That’s happened to me before. It’s a live performance and it’s the actor’s job to deliver. That’s not to say that all mainstream orgasms are fake, but you won’t hear a countdown on a feminist set.
Feminist porn strives for an organic experience, while creating the best possible working environment. It almost sounds too good to be true, like a mainstream porn performers dream job. As [director and Feminist Porn Award winner] Madison Young advises, “Ask your performers who, where, and how they would like to have sex. Facilitate that experience and document the experience like a wild life photographer.”
