Smokin’ Vagina

I have to say, being a woman  is very easy nowadays. There are many ways to be the woman you wanna be, but I’m not here to celebrate feminism. I’m here to talk about porn. There is not much to talk about actually, after decades of erotic softcore films, hardcore fucking, penetration close ups, disappearing fists or elbows, devoted petlovers and neverending liberating cumshots we have seen enough….Or haven’t we?

After being sucked into a documentary about Emmanuelle and it’s impact in the early 70’s it’s sad to conclude that after such a period of time, ladyporn has become nothing but little fantasies poorly written by housewives in books you can find in your supermarket or so called ‘edgy’ television shows like ‘Sex and the city’ where women were actually able to talk about it and make fun of sex (yawn). And when I visit Youporn.com for example, I filled in my wildest fantasies and they tried to match my search, but there is little to be found for us ladies. If you like it rough you’re ok, if you like it soft and gentle you’re not that ok. Except if  you’re interested in wild swimmingpool parties where twenty BFF’s are licking eachothers pussies at the same time. I do not even daydream about having so many friends…

When the documentary was showing some footage of the Emmanuelle films, it triggered me! Even if you hate hairy women, women don’t. Everything felt so real, even a scene where this beautifull dancer  inserts a cigarette into her vagina and for some reason is able to smoke! Or when Emmanuelle gets raped by some Thai locals is something women secretly would consider as hot. When the first film was released in 1974, women from all over the world exchanged their fridayevening bookclubs with their friends for going out and watch Emmanuelle and actually return to their homes educated.

Everything boils down to owning a fantasy in which you are responsible for how far you can go. The only close up you need is a close up of a face that enjoys it so much that you can fill in what is happening to that person…But see this film through the eyes of a young woman in 1974 surely makes you squirt in your little pants.
