Erika Lust

“I realized that mainstream porn is not something that reflects a truth about sex – it’s a statement, an idea, it’s expressing ideologies and values, opinions about sex and gender. So the more I learned about pornographic discourse, the more I worked up the courage to try to create something totally different in the genre – my own films, according to my taste, expressing my own values and ideas, showing the importance of female pleasure and desire as well.”
