One of our affiliates and former employees, Garnet Joyce, does a regular column for Pop My Cherry about ethical pornography. She has interviewed a few of our favorite porn stars, directors, and producers. Most recently, she interviewed feminist porn genius, Shine Louise Houston.

Okay, this review has been a long time coming…uh, no pun intended…

It can be difficult to find girl-girl scenes featuring women who [...]
This weekend’s annual Stop Porn Culture conference has stirred up quite a debate on the blogosphere. Check out Violet Blue’s response, Our Porn, Ourselves and read Audacia Rae’s astute critique of the whole situation.
