This talk was given by Erika Lust at a TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. It’s time for porn to change #changeporn
Erika Lust is an award winning independent erotic filmmaker and author based in Barcelona. She graduated from Lund University in 1999 with a degree in Political Sciences, and founded Erika Lust Films in 2005. A staunch feminist dissatisfied with the portrayal of women in mainstream adult industry, Erika is committed to infusing intimacy, modernity and beauty into her explicit films.
“The Sex can stay dirty but the values have to be clean” she says. “We need to think critically about sexual representation and that, whether you like it or not, includes porn”.
This TED Talk is definitely worth a watch!
