People ask me what is the goal of this site. I mean who wants to sit around to talk about porn all day when there are so many things going on in the world.
I always say the same thing every time: “I want to be the Zane of Porn.”
Not saying that to say that I want to write Shitty Erotic/Romance novels but I want to take Sex and Black Folk to a place that it hasn’t been before. You see Zane is famous because she found a niche and worked it for all that it was worth. There was not sexual fiction that was geared toward women of color and treated them like human beings.
I would like Black Porn to eventually have that reach. I have plenty of female friends who like sex and like watching sex in movies but they are turned off by the images that they run into. They want to be able to watch movies with their Boyfriends (or Girlfriends) and not feel like they should feel dirty afterward.
Don’t get me wrong, I watch a lot of porn but I am selective about what I do watch. I’m a big follower of certain actresses but I can’t see myself watching them if the go to Ghetto Gaggers or Cum Bang not matter how bad I want to see them. [P.S. Click on those links at your own risk]
All I’m saying is that there’s room for more of the good stuff as well as the bad. There is way to much bad out there that your are squeezing out potential customers. There is so much porn for whatever kink that you are into why not expand your base by including some porn that is done for women/men who want some Sexy Eroticism along with the hardcore fucking (with no cum shots!)
One of my readers put it best:
…as a woman who actually *likes* the idea of multiple partners in porn, it’s doubly frustrating. Written erotica/romantica is miles ahead in this area, but I suspect that the main difference is the vast majority of erotica/romantica is written for and by women.
Very Apt … the majority of movies made are by Men unfortunately. Although you have a few men out there who want to focus on putting out quality work for all … the majority are out to go with what works. Hopefully that changes down the line … it needs to be before its too late.
Mini Review:
One of the movies that I have come across during my searches for films for my friends is Afrodite Superstar.
Released in 2007 it focuses on a woman (played by Simone Valentino) who trying to navigate through the Rap business while lusting after her boss C.E.O. (played by actual Porn Star Mr. Marcus). Directed by a sista who goes under the nom de plume of Venus Hottentot it has sex scenes nicely tucked into a thought provoking story about getting your dreams and not losing yourself at the same time. See the beginning of the scene with her and Mr. Marcus here.
Now I can’t vote for every scene in the movie. There’s one particular scene near the end of the movie that looked like the majority of porn films I had seen one time or another (Although I believe that considering the participants it may have been deliberately placed their by the director to show the absurdity of some scenes with the actors are P.O.C.).
I would recommend this movie as a vid for any collections for couples and singles alike.
[Trivia: Director Venus Hottentot is actually writer/director/former BET J Host, Abiola Abrams. Visit her site here.]
[Double Trivia: Ms. Abrams had a role on the VH1 Reality Show, Tough Love]
