Synopsis

Praise for Erika Lust:
'The queen of ethical porn' - The Times
'Lust has blazed a trail' - Dazed
'We're so into it' - Cosmopolitan

In Lust: Pleasure, Performance, Power, Erika Lust tells the story of how a shy 'good girl' came to create one of the most talked-about studios in the world. She takes us behind the scenes of her films to glimpse the passion and chaos of making art about sex, and shares the lessons she has learned as a female leader in a male-dominated, frequently misogynistic, industry. And she addresses the ubiquity of online porn, offering a way forward that eschews moral panic in favour of creativity and pleasure. Ultimately, Lust argues, it is time that we change the stories we tell about sex.

Growing up in Sweden, Erika Lust always knew that some things were off limits. Despite her liberal upbringing, she learned that adults were embarrassed if she asked them about sex. At the same time, she knew that men watched something called porn.

Decades later, Lust is the world's leading feminist adult filmmaker and has been dubbed the 'queen of ethical porn', making pioneering films which centre women's experiences and push back against shame to tell liberating stories of desire. Perfect for fans of Gillian Anderson's Want, Pleasure by Emma-Louise Boynton and Flick by Kate Lister.
