Authentic Lesbian Porn

I’ve added a Real Lesbian category to the Quirky Sex linklist.

Authentic porn made for lesbians and queer women is extremely rare. The only commercial porn site catering to real lesbians is the Cyber Dyke network, a collection of 15 smaller lesbian sites with varying themes from BDSM to foot fetish to glamour. The site is run by lesbian and bi women. Even then, it’s not a hugely commercial venture compared to most adult sites. Cyber Dyke sees itself as an erotic community. The photos and movies are all done in-house and the content is about as far from the long-nailed, fake “lesbian” porn stuff as you can get.

As I was creating the real lesbian category I found myself wondering if any male surfers would be interested. The Cyber Dyke ladies say that men do purchase memberships and obviously there are guys out there who are into the authenticity and eroticism that dyke porn offers.

But what about Mr. Average porn surfer, the one whose tastes make “lesbian” porn one of the most popular niches in the porn industry. Will he find the erotica offered by Cyber Dyke arousing? What about the all-lesbian anal play at Posteriority?

The variety of female beauty on display at Cyber Dyke may not appeal – let’s assume that a lot of average straight guys don’t find butch dykes attractive – but what about the glamour stuff? I find myself wondering if Mr. Average would even want to look.

Because the thing is, “lesbian” porn is not really about female homosexuality. The standard girl-girl guff produced by Silicon Valley is all about putting two hot naked chicks on display without all the hassle of having to look at a penis. It allows men to watch cunnilingus without “degrading” another man by having him do it. It also creates that standard fantasy where lesbians are converted over to the wonders of heterosexuality by what Banky in Chasing Amy calls “some good deep dicking.” A lot of guys hold the belief that lesbians have sex with other women simply because they haven’t found Mr Right… and, given the opportunity, they would be happy to step in and show the girls the light. Most straight girl-girl porn relies heavily on dildos and other forms of penetration, because it needs to maintain the dominant penetrative paradigm.

Authentic lesbian porn takes away that fantasy. There won’t be any “deep dicking.” There won’t be any men. Dyke porn is just about women giving each other pleasure in whatever way best serves. And that may even involve strapon sex, but it’s still women wielding the cock, and the clit always gets it’s fair share of attention.

Is the average white Western male open-minded enough to enjoy authentic lesbian porn? Can a mutual love of the female body overcome homophobia or the narcissistic desire to take part in the fantasy? If sraight women can enjoy gay porn (and many do), what’s to stop straight guys from perusing a little dyke smut?

I hope that having a Real Lesbian category at my new linklist gives my visitors the opportunity to think about that, and maybe try something new.
