You know, I WANT to be wholeheartedly in favor of Kitty Stryker’s Andro-Aperture Project. I think she’s a way cool chick & has a great eye for creating hot smut. I agree with the principles that the world could use more imagery of the sort she is looking for, and that it’d be swell to encourage…

“No, what this is about is MARKETING: framing the produced images in such a way as to seduce buyers who have been told their entire lives that they couldn’t possibly like/buy porn, for one reason or another.”

‘Yes, this! And also helping interested photographers find the markets for their work, and also try to get galleries and sex/bdsm spaces to show something other than naked, slender, kneeling women. That’d be nice. 

I think that you need to specify that this is about the female gaze of female-identified people who like male-identified bodies. That doesn’t necessarily translate to “all women” or ignore queerness within that female gaze- it’s just a specific group of people.’

NO It’s not a specific group of people. I am female-identified who likes male-identified bodies, but I do not like watching ‘straight sex’ much. Especially maybe as I mainly like men. So why would I always want to watch men having sex with women, who I am less interested in?

I like men. But I do not think this has anything to do with me being ‘female’. I would like to see more of a diverse range of producers and viewers of porn. But when it is framed within this male/female binary and hetero/queer binary I think the project is doomed to failure.
