Interviews We Love

Youporn interviewed us for their "Female Director Series" . This interview will be broken down into 4 parts - it's really long. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

7: How would you say your sex life or perception of sex has changed with your experience in the industry?

Porn viewing habits: Honestly, I just don’t get to watch porn very often these days, because I’m simply too busy making movies and managing the day to day operations of my company. When I do watch, my favorite directors definitely include Candida Royalle and Jacky St. James, who also happen to be two of the most intelligent, eloquent, and insightful women to ever step behind the camera on a porn set. I also enjoy my husband’s movies at Wasteland.com. BDSM has a beauty and erotism to it that I love.

8: In your opinion, what kind of content do you think women want to watch? ( Support your answer with an explanation of why )

Let’s debunk a myth here that has been floating around for a while. There IS no accurate generalization of “what women want” in their porn. In my 21 years of polling our members, it’s actually quite the opposite. Women have vastly differing tastes that range from “romantic” to hardcore “down and dirty”, and everything in between!

For me, it has been important – but just as there’s no “one size fits all” approach which is guaranteed to work when you’re making porn for women, there’s probably no such thing as an ideal approach to exploring your sexuality as a couple, either. For example, if the woman in a couple wants to watch porn but her husband isn’t comfortable with the idea, it’s not necessarily the best idea to keep trying to overcome his reticence.

It all comes down to people communicating with each other honestly and openly. Once you’ve had the conversation, if both of you like the idea of watching porn together, and you share common tastes and fantasies, it can be a wonderful enhancement to a couple’s sex life. But watching porn is not for everyone; if you get the idea it’s not for your partner, rather than trying to talk them into doing it, it might be best to just let it drop and leave porn as something you watch on your own.

Having said that, I think just about all people masturbate, be they men or women. As for what percentage of women watch porn, I have no idea. My offhand bet is the percentage is higher among younger women, just because the social stigma attached to being a woman who watches porn seems to have eroded a bit over recent years, but hard, reliable data is tough to come by, so it’s very difficult to say what the percentages are, or whether I’m correct in my guess.

One thing is for sure, though: A lot more women are watching porn these days than anybody believed would ever watch porn back when I launched Sssh.com. Back then, everybody thought I was nuts for believing there was even a market for porn among women.
