This is my sandbox page for editing the Women's Pornography article.
Main Issues
editThere are two main issues with this article:
- This article does not have enough links to other articles. After looking at the Manual for Style/Linking, I will be looking for pieces of information, mostly people or events that may be unique to this topic[1], that may have an article with information useful to readers who want to learn more about the field.
- This article's tone is too argumentative for Wikipedia. I will be looking at sentence structure and citations in order to appropriately rephrase the article and add citations when necessary.
Editing
editThe following sections correspond to the sections from Women's Pornography.[2]
Lead
editWomen's pornography sometimes referred to as sex-positive pornography or feminist pornography, is a genre of pornographic film that prioritizes a female audience.[3] This genre intersects with, a similar genre that adheres to principles of gender equality and sexual liberation.[4]
---
The lead section should be short and give a brief explanation of the topic. I removed the quotes from the lead because they should be added to a history or timeline section in the future.
Producers and Directors
editErika Lust
editErika Lust is a Swedish feminist porn director, producer, and screenplay writer, and the founder of Erika Lust Films.[5] Lust started directing and producing feminist adult films because she wanted to make porn more realistic and relatable for women.[5] In 2005, Lust began to film her series XConfessions,[6] where she filmed two short films a month inspired by prompts submitted by Lust Productions subscribers.[6] In everything she produces, Lust wants the viewer to see realistic scenarios, real characters, and real pleasure.[5] Consent and respect are two aspects that are important to Lust in content creation. Lust stresses the importance of consent and respect by confirming her actors' willingness to participate in her films.[5] Her films strive to demonstrate real passion and connection between the actors, creating engaging and romantic scenarios.[7]
Angie Rowntree
editAngie Rowntree is a director, writer and producer of women’s pornography. Rowntree launched her flagship site, Sssh.com, in 1999. Sssh.com is Rowntree's website for ethical and sex-positive porn.[8] Her emphasis on the ethics of pornography involves fair pay for employees and consent from workers. Sssh.com won the XBIZ Award for Best Adult Site - For Women in 2017.[9]
Of female porn directors, Rowntree says “There may not be a lot of us, but we’re passionate about what we do, and we’re working hard every day to provide women with porn that does appeal to them.”[10] Rowntree said Sssh’s mission is straightforward: “We want to create movies that our customers want to see and enjoy watching. The only real difference between what I do and what producers of ‘typical’ porn do is that I’m serving a different audience, and instead of assuming we know what they want to see, we ask them what they want to see.”[10]

The first paragraph of this article has nothing to do with notable producers and directors in women's pornography. Looking at the present article's organization, this paragraph should be added to the Contrast to mainstream pornography section.
I decided to make subsections for each producer/director in this section.
