Dutch adult cable station Dusk TV is holding its first ever Porna Awards this Saturday. “Porna” is the word Dusk chose to describe porn for women. It makes use of the linguistic pattern common to European languages where adding “-a” to a word makes it feminine. Thus: “porna” instead of “porno”.
Dusk chooses what films to screen on the channel by asking a panel of more than 1700 women to watch them and rate them, giving comments on what they found hot and what was a turn-off. Dusk regularly creates a top 10 list of popular erotic films according to this scoring method. It’s one of the few porn companies in the world that conducts this kind of extensive audience research.
