The Feminist Porn Awards announced its winners with Tristan Taormino coming out on top. The awards is kind of an anti-mainstream awards show that rebels against the cheesy and sometimes degrading mainstream world and focuses on erotic performance art and fantasy.

Their website states, “as feminists and sex-positive people, we want to showcase and honour those who are doing it right, like filmmakers who understand that people of colour are sexual beings – not sexual objects. Like performers who want to see body diversity, so they shake their ample butts in front of the camera. Like everyone who ever said “why aren’t my fantasies and realities ever reflected in porn?” so they picked up a camcorder and recorded their friends getting it on.”

Some criteria winners must meet include:

1) A woman had a hand in the production, writing, direction, etc. of the work.

2) It depicts genuine female pleasure

3) It expands the boundaries of sexual representation on film and challenges stereotypes that are often found in mainstream porn.

At the awards, Tristan Taormino came out on top with the Smutty School Teacher Award for Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide to Anal Pleasure for Men from Vivid Entertainment’s Vivid Ed line as well as the Trailblazer of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Awards. (Via Examiner)
