I find this to be very disturbing. Also the hyper realism of the violence and the increasingly large disjoint between film sex and real sex. You are about 10 times more likely to see realistic rape in film, than you are to see realistic romantic, or ... more
That's a disgusting statistic.

My aim with my work is to entertain, and at the same time seduce and excite. I do not know if that is "indie adult" or "erotic film", we'll see how my work evolves, but I'd like festivals to be opened to show movies where you can see explicit sex, without saying "This comes from the dangerous adult industry, this is not us". We have to fight for that

Is it more accepted outside of the US? Or do you find the same resistance everywhere?

I think that to do that we have to get away from American films. It seems to be no problem to show sex as part of a foreign film. But then again American's are hung up on sex, it's like they don't believe a film can be anything but porn if it has explicit sex in it. That's just not true.

Europe is more tolerant, but still festivals are afraid of sex .... They do not want o be labeled as "porn festivals"

Hopefully that attitude will change in time. Not too long ago you would never see a naked ass or a kiss between same sex actors on tv, and yet now we have examples. Hopefully indie adult gets accepted into mainstream sooner rather than later.

Did anyone see this quote in the manifesto Erika linked:

"We can’t just turn our backs on porn and think it doesn’t matter because men are the only ones looking at it. Even if that were true, what men are seeing and learning also affects us. Lots of men understand and interpret female sexuality through porn."

Lots of men understand and interpret female sexuality through porn.

I can't think of a scarier sentence.

Your films seem like the perfect springboard to turn folks on and inspire them to create their own experience. This is truly amazing to me at least, it seems that most porn today is meant to create an alternate reality where all that exists is moaning,skin on skin, and overwhelming and incredibly monotonous thrusting. Most men I know are bored of it by the age of 25, and women find it disturbing and threatening. It's refreshing to find something that aids atmosphere and imagination, instead of impeding it
