Jiz Lee was also part of a panel called “Porn Disrupted: The Politics of Changing Sexual Attitudes” which featured Shine Louise Houston among others, talking about “real world sex vs. perceptions created by porn.”<\/p>\n

Xbiz also had the first ever Feminist Porn Release of the Year award in 2014 although there was no information given as to what criteria was used to judge the contenders. The nominees were:<\/p>\n
