Well, I have not visited any adult forums myself but I would think that some of the negative response from men towards the idea of feminist porn stems from decades in which feminism and pornography have been set up as polarized opposites. When most people I know seem to think that all feminists are against pornography, the idea that any feminists would produce pornography would come across as something as bizarre as fundamentalists fighting for free speech. It just seems oxymoronic. The truth is I doubt that most men would actually have a problem with women creating feminist-styled pornography. They might not be into it but they would not mind its existence. We just need a lot more awareness that not all feminists are against pornography – that many are in fact pornographers themselves.

Too true. I am still pretty much a newbie in this biz (been at it just over a year) and it didn’t take me long at all to realize that a huge chunk of the “information” exchanged on adult webmaster boards is basically pissing contests between the guys.
The funny thing is, I think most guys actually get off more on seeing a woman getting off than they do on the femgasm-denying crapola. The ultimate fantasy for most guys I’ve known (biblically and otherwise) is to be with a woman who ACTUALLY GETS OFF on nasty, slutty, animalistic sex. Fortunately for them, there are plenty of women who DO…if we are given half a chance to express it in this world where so many forces are trying to convince us that “good girls” don’t.
