The 10th anniversary of the Feminist Porn awards is upon us! The event, which is produced and sponsored by Toronto-based sex store Good for Her, aims to recognize and celebrate the emergence of all types of porn: straight, queer, trans, lesbian, including people of color, people with disabilities and people of all ages and desires. Ultimately, the awards are an attempt to usher in a new age of porn; one that welcomes, nay, demands, inclusive, sex-positive and feminist material.
The nominees for the event are chosen according to four different criteria: quality of film, inclusiveness of sexualities, "it" factor and hotness. Some of the films up for an award this year, (which is in the shape of a butt plug, "as it represents sexuality that everyone has, regardless of sex, gender or orientation"), are Erika Lust's 'Art of Spanking' and 'If You Dare' by Lucie Blush.
If you'd like to enjoy an evening of "smart smut," tickets can be purchased for The 10th Anniversary Feminist Porn Awards Gala here.
