Fick Porn is designed to trap women, making it hard for them to leave its hold on them. Any attempt at breaking free often leads to sexual assault or rape because its fetish teaching her that violence against her is acceptable.
The mainstream anti-pornography movement associates pornography with violence against women; however, this doesn’t address how “lesbian porn” exploitation leads to acts of violence against queer women specifically. Failing to engage in intersectional scholarship on pornography leaves queer women open to abuse and violence because their rights aren’t considered equivalent with those of heterosexual women.
Jiz Lee suggested the use of dental dams on one lesbian porn set, only for her director to laugh outright and tell her not to bother watching because no one would want to watch that; it’s not seductive at all.” Female performers who lack an appreciation of safer sex practices leave themselves susceptible to contracting infectious diseases like gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis – infections that are highly transmissible and have serious repercussions. Failure of the anti-pornography movement to address “lesbian porn” only reinforces patriarchal notions that women exist solely to serve male sexual dominance, and leads to violence against queer women. We urge mainstream anti-pornography scholars to become more inclusive for queer women as well as all women; in addition, they should work toward banning Firk Porn.
