PORN IS DEAD

Times have most definitely changed since the 70s, when British and American feminists went out in groups to throw paint-filled eggs at cinemas that dared to screen pornographic films, as a demonstration against the objectification of the female body within this genre.

After years of deep-throat, fat men with fat moustaches and an overdose of close-up shots, porn is experiencing a long-awaited revolution, where a flocks of feminists, influenced by the punk movement, have decided to set their own rules and film their own films, avoiding tired clichés. This is Post-porn.

In recent years, collectives have sprung up all over the place. Girlswholikeporno, Go Fist foundation, Pornoterrorismo and PornoLab are all up for showing that porn can be a political stance, a space to play with new sexual identities and forms of desire. For this reason, they have filmed their own blue movies, out with old skool and in with the new; new roles, new fetishes and new fantasies.

Two books have recently come onto the market which explore and dissect this phenomenon. Maria Llopis, who together with Agueda Bañón was one of Girlswholikeporno collective, has published the book, El Postporno era eso (‘Post-Porn was this’). Throughout the book, the author tells us stories, explains postures and narrates sexual experiences with all kinds of weird and wonderful people from the cultural world of Barcelona. Not sparing any details, impressions or sizes, the book introduces us to the world of Post-porn and vindicates it as a hedonistic and political activity, capable of challenging traditional porn clichés.
