Last week, Curve Magazine published a great piece by one of our favorite queer porn peeps, Courtney Trouble. She’s compiled a list of hot lesbian porno for the masses and we happen to love it. In fact, we’ve reviewed a ton of the movies here at HotMoviesForHer.com. Here’s a quick excerpt:
Lesbian porn, and porn for lesbians, are two drastically different things. Lesbian porn is soft, delicate, made for men and completely unwatchable. Porn for lesbians, however, is honest, a little hard around the edges and stars the the queer butch dykes, high femmes, switches, transmen and genderqueer hotties our wet dreams are made of.
To check out Courtney’s list, head over to Curve.com. If you’re curious about what we’ve thought about a couple of her picks, take a look at two of our favorites!

“Lesbian porn, and porn for lesbians, are two drastically different things. Lesbian porn is soft, delicate, made for men and completely unwatchable.

With all due respect to Trouble the above statement is utterly absurd if you ask me. However perhaps she is right to use such extreme and divisive language when writing for Curve on the subject of porn for lesbians. Personally I find that rather depressing to contemplate.
Just to expand on my previous post -
I’ve always found Madison Young ( director and star of Lesbian Life – Real Sex San Francisco – one of Courtney’s recommend titles to Curve readers )completely “watchable”, whether she’s appearing in real dyke porn produced and directed by a woman – or girl-girl porn produced and directed by a man or a lesbian or bisexual woman – or being submissive or dominant in bdsm porn with a bio male and/or female – or doing hardcore interracial boy-girl etc.etc.
I don’t think Madison Young isn’t genuinely queer or just being “gay-for-pay” just because her current primary partner is a bio male either.
I seriously question if Curve readers really need to be patronised as if they are a group of naive, unsophisticated, unrealistic, myth-believing, biphobic, puritanical purists in order to persuade them to watch and purchase some lesbian porn made by women (primarily) for women.
Well, I guess maybe some of them do.
Marketing adult entertainment can be a very strange business.
Thanks for your input, Geri. Personally, I’m just excited to see someone like Courtney Trouble published in Curve talking about queer porn. I have no idea who’s reading curve, but my gut tells me there probably isn’t a huge crossover between their readers and ours. I hope I’m wrong there.
Hopefully, mainstream coverage like this will create a bigger demand for authentic lesbian porn and we’ll have more to enjoy too!
I’m pleased to see Courtney published in Curve as well. I was also very pleased to see Skye Blue featured in Curve awhile back.
I would also like to see the likes of Nica Noelle, Kathryn Annelle, Christine Kessler and the women of CyberDyke – and indeed any queer/bisexual/lesbian women who make sapphic porn that isn’t aimed soley at a male audience – getting coverage in Curve.
I wouldn’t want anyone to think I don’t support Courtney and what she does. I promote her paysite and care passionately about the cause of women making lesbian porn for women. That’s why I care enough to comment when I think she might be getting it a bit wrong.
