girlswholikeporno

Here are some questions we made to ourselves and to the netporn conference and that were left unanswered. Matteo has his own theory about this, but we will try his recipe in the next conference…

1_Some words we didn´t like:
Adult sex. Is sex something only for people over 18 years old?
Do you remember your teens? Sex repression in childhood does not lead to anything good. Wilhem Reich writes wonderfully about it.

Interracial sex. What does interracial sex means? Sex between people of different skin colors? So when we talk about sex we mean sex between people with the same skin colour I guess. Why don´t we simply say sex?

2_Some things we didn´t like:
The laughs at some porno images. Marc Dery´s for example. Why were we laughing at some images and not at others? Why do we find funny a guy in a shower? What is turning us on in internet? What are our own desires? What do you desire?.Perhaps thinking about it all will lead us to respect other people desires and not to be afraid of our own.

3_Contaminationof the word PORNO. It is so linked to viruses and sexism, that it is hard to take it out from the black hole. How can we invent a new porno? Because porno is not only this.Our french philosopher in the second day of the conference was talking about the construction of the porno image in the viewer, not in the image itself.
What is porno?

Being a woman, having a blog called girlswholikeporno, you must defend it everyday. Yes, we like consuming, making and creating porno. But what porno are we talking about?
We get lots of visits through internet searches with the word “porno”. Often they stay one second, enough to see that this is not what they are looking for. Go. Who is staying? What are they looking for? We are linked though in conventional porno sites, with good reviews, as fleshbot or greenshines.

4_We missed the representation of men as on object of desire. There were few images of men, and most of them were made from a gay perspective. Why? Are not women desiring men bodies?
Yes, we desire all kind of bodies in fact. Men, women, whatever. And men bodies are sexy. But perhaps we do not want to do it in the way men have used the body of women as on object to impose their power on them. Perhaps women are not willing to do it in the same abusive, degrading way the male has been doing it. How can we do it?
And don´t, please. Do not answer me that we are turned on by violence and so anyway. Barbara expressed it brilliantly: we can be turned on by images that represent a rape, but to see a real rape in internet is not sexualy arousing for us. It is humillating and sexist violence does not turn us on..
Pornography and patriarchy would be a good theme of discussion.

It has been a pleasure for us to attend the netporn conference. Thanks to all the people who organised the event, who invited us, who presented their works, who talked to us, who listened to us, who inspired us, who fucked us, who dj/vjed us, who danced, smiled and were there.
