Fusce at velit id ligula pharetra laoreet non a nisl. Vivamus luctus commodo dolor porta feugiat. Curabitur pulvinar euismod ante, ac sagittis ante posuere ac. Maecenas bibendum erat nec nunc porttitor ut consequat lacus congue. Sed pharetra, elit quis consectetur suscipit, arcu dui tincidunt nibh, ornare varius lectus nisi ut nulla. Quisque imperdiet malesuada sapien id auctor. Pellentesque sed nibh a quam accumsan dignissim quis quis urna. It makes absolutely no sense, and I think that is very much reflected in porn.Curabitur pulvinar euismod ante, ac sagittis ante posuere ac. Meanwhile, here we have so much violence on TV, more than any kind of nudity, we’ve glorified violence and we’ve shamed nudity. Nudity and violence are not equated in Europe the same way they are here. You can be naked on TV in Europe it’s just not a big deal. Erika Lust even premieres her films in a theater.Jones: I think you’re right that it’s just a sensibility. In Europe, sex is also treated differently than over here, where it’s very taboo. I don’t know if she would ever have just a subscription-based business, but the truth is, we’re American we love our free shit. She wanted to do the same thing that she was brought up doing but there’s less room for it today. Holly instead came into the business by having this mom who pioneered all these things back in the ‘70s. She works there, so it’s probably easier for her to sustain that. I don’t know a lot about the porn industry in Europe, but it seems to me that Erika’s business is subscription-based and the whole art, the aesthetic of it, the conceit, feels more European. Why do you think one is doing better than the other?Jones: I think it’s a lot of reasons, but mainly it’s that they live in different countries. And then you have Erika Lust, who’s doing great in Barcelona and has an entire staff of people working for her in a beautiful office space. Holly, the one based in L.A., is floundering because her high-production porn films are being pushed out by amateur movies. The first episode follows two female erotic filmmakers with very different experiences in the business. I was texting with him to meet for a coffee and he totally ghosted me and I thought, “Isn’t this ironic?” Gradus: One of the guys we tried to put in the episode sounded great he lived in New York. Jones: It’s no mistake that he’s an ex-reality TV guy. How did you find James, the serial bachelor who compulsively dates and dumps women on Tinder and Bumble?Bauer: That was probably our hardest episode to cast because nobody wanted us to follow them around as they’re dating on Tinder. And then we found the Tom and Alice story because Jill and I have gone to a handful of porn conventions and we’d seen a lot of guys like Tom wandering along the convention and thought, That’s a great story. We became very aware of camming because all the girls in the house did camming on these sites. We were very intrigued by the male experience in porn, and we had also noticed that there’s a lot of racism in porn. How did you decide on these six specific subjects?Gradus: There were a couple of stories that were from the cutting room floor of our doc because there’s only so much you can put in a film. Rashida Jones: It’s made my conversations more interesting, so I hope it’s made other people’s conversations more interesting, too. Ronna Gradus: When people know you work in this field, any party you go to, any dinner you go to, people just have stories they want to tell you because they feel like you will understand. Another centers on a pair of female erotic filmmakers and their efforts to try and challenge the pervasive, and often aggressive, male gaze in pornography. Another chapter explores the question of whether a woman can ever be empowered in the porn industry-the answer is murkier than you might believe. One episode revolves around a cam girl and her intimate relationship with one of her customers, whom she’s never met in real life. Here, they expand their focus from porn into all aspects of human sexuality online. The six-episode series was produced by Rashida Jones, Jill Bauer, and Ronna Gradus, the team behind the original film, which initially followed a group of teenage girls entering the amateur porn business in Miami. A spinoff of the 2015 documentary Hot Girls Wanted, this new show explores sex and relationships in the Internet age a time in which a woman can make a living simply by stripping in front of a camera in her bedroom, and a bachelor has unlimited access to date hundreds of women on his phone with a simple swipe. “Porn today is sex education,” says Erika Lust, an erotic filmmaker based in Barcelona, early on in the first episode of Netflix’s new docuseries, Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On.
