Yeah yeah yeah, sex sells. What kind of sex though? When you watch recent music videos, a lot of them could be a trailer for a dirty flick, for sure. Sex is a part of pop culture and sneaks in everywhere, making suggestions, taking advantage.
The porn industry – despite the millions of free films online – is still a billion-dollar industry. Somehow, it is also a barometer of how society thinks about sex, I guess. Depending on what new genres come up, it says a lot about where the culture stands, what’s up and coming – pun intended.
Erotica for women is a rather newer genre. Erika Lust is – no pun intended this time – the shooting star of it, you could say.

Every once in a while a film hits you right in the heart. It pierces you, makes you emotional, provokes new trains of thoughts and completely absorbs you while watching. Those are the films that one doesn’t forget, the ones that stay with you and those you will compare future vieweing experiences to. I saw one such film at this year’s Berlinale and most of the audience agreed with me and awarded the film with the Panorama Audience award for the best documentary. I am of course speaking about Josh Oppenheimer’s shocking piece The Act of Killing. The Berlin Film Society will present the film tomorrow (Wednesday Oct 2) and Thursday. So don’t miss out and get your hands on one of the very few left tickets NOW! Details about the film, after the jump.
