Criteria for feminist pornfilms:

• A sex-positive attitude, no de-humanising or misogynistic portrayals

•  Roles in collusion with those involved / no crossing of personal borders

• Ethical work conditions / safe sex is encouraged

• Those involved will be shown in relation to one another - eye, skin, hand, and body contact, energy exchange.

• Emotions and declarations of love are encouraged, doable, and showable.

• Diverse camera settings, light and shadow games

• Variations of sexual practices in joyful transitions, not an achievement test, broadening of the stereotypically portrayed spectrum.

• A variety of body types, ages, genders, sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds.

• Authentic sound recordings or music. No gender-stereotypical amplified dubbing of moaning.

• Portrayal of lust and pleasure, focus on female lust and its diversity.

• No schematic portrayals of the “sexual curve” – that is to say no straight zoom in on the male ejaculation, no emphasis of the male cum shot. Orgasms are not the only goal.

•  Women are significantly involved in the production of the film as producers, directors, or camerawomen.

The sexpositive portrayal of female lust, the depiction of varied sexual expressions, and the decisive collaboration of women in the film’s production are the minimum reqirements for all films.

  The awarding of a feminist porno film prize contributes to positive enlightenment. A “PorYes” certificate, which arose out of this initial event, is given to porn films that deal with a feminist criteria and, at the very least, fulfill these three requirements. Gay films should also be sex-positive and show varied sexual expression.

 The minimum reqirements brings a differentiation in the typical, largely sexist and cliché porn and on the other hand the women- and human-oriented sexpositive porn productions, which guides consumers and encourages the highly commercial productions to explore more exciting and, above all, more respectful films.  

The Feminist Porno Film Prize ceremony shall annually award special productions, create categories bassed on the submitted films, and honor the life works of people who strive toward sexpositive, loving portrayals and artistic realization of sexuality.  Categories for a Porno Film Prize could, for example, include genres like sex documentation (documentaries), sexperts (educational films), feature films with sex scenes, sexual orientations (like heterotica, lesbirotica, queerotica, or transporno), particular practices like safe sex porn or sexual competence and general excitement, intelligent porn (with dialogues), more remotely special stories, sound, or even a business prize for successful women in the porn industry.
