Female Friendly Porn Films
The adult industry churns out thousands of erotic films every year. Unfortunately, very few of them seek to include women as part of their audience. The majority depict male fantasies, the camera focuses on the female performers and the male orgasm is the ultimate goal. Often this type of porn is cliched or sexist.
Thankfully a growing number of filmmakers are trying to change the situation, creating porn films that are female friendly or focused on a female perspective. Some of these films are considered to be "couples porn", others go by the label "porn for women" while still others claim to be proudly "feminist porn". All of them seek to acknowledge the female audience and depict a more positive and inclusive idea of sex.
The female friendly porn films listed here are only a small sample. I've included films from many of the top erotic filmmakers who cater to women. You'll find a more comprehensive listing at Porn Movies For Women, which currently features over 400 titles. I've linked to each individual filmmaker's page from PMFW so you can get an idea of what other movies they've created.
The Fantasy Project
Nominated for a Feminist Porn Award, 2015
The blurb: Kate Eden’s research into female sexual fantasies leads her deep into the erotic imagination of women, a lush world of pleasure without consequences. Her subjects reveal a list of secret desires: a threesome with two men, a magic room with a male slave who exists only to give pleasure, a full service massage complete with cunnilingus, and a dark exploration of submission and group sex. Her research is fascinating, arousing and all-consuming. But will Kate’s passion for her work lead her to lose herself – and her relationship?

Marriage 2.0
The blurb: India wants to love unconditionally — we all do — but as she pushes the boundaries of her relationship with her long-time boyfriend, she finds that tearing down boundaries is much easier than creating new rules to live by. Lost in this new cultural landscape of the open relationship, India seeks advice — but will she follow it? Marriage 2.0 celebrates a modern redefinition of the committed relationship as a springboard for adventure, where unfettered physical and emotional intimacy can fuel our passion while strengthening the bond with those we love.
