Over the last few years, there’s been a rise in feminist porn with more inclusive attitudes about the future of sex positivity, both on- and off-screen. Since the beginning of porn, erotic movies have been predominately made for men, by men, using women as an accessory to masculine sexuality — but Erika Lust, an award-winning Swedish erotic film director, screenwriter, and producer, is working to change the face of the porn industry.

With a degree in human rights, political science, and feminism in her back pocket, Lust has played an instrumental role in defining the importance of representation and diversity in erotic movies. Lust paired her interest in female sexuality with filmmaking to create diverse and realistic porn movies from the female perspective without degrading women or playing into stereotypical gender roles.
