Erika Lust remembers the exact moment she first saw a porno. She was around 11 or 12, chomping on popcorn at a friend\u2019s sleepover party, when the young host pulled out a VHS she\u2019d swiped from her dad\u2019s private stockpile. Before then, porn was something Lust had only glimpsed in Playboy<\/em><\/a> or simulated with Barbie and Ken<\/a>. When the sex started, the girls all shuddered. Was porn always this ridiculous, this gross?<\/p>\n

It would be years before Lust, now a pioneer in erotic cinema\u2014she writes, directs, and runs her own production company, Erika Lust Films\u2014would view porn under more pleasurable circumstances. Studying political science at Lund University in Sweden<\/a>, Lust, like many of her female peers, considered herself a liberated young woman, with feminist ideals and an open mind. So when her college boyfriend suggested that they pop in a video to get them in the mood, Lust was eager to give it a try.<\/p>\n

She enjoyed what she watching more this time around, but there was something about it that still didn\u2019t sit right. The production design was dreadful, for starters. And where was the feeling, the texture of a real erotic encounter? The sex it depicted was all mechanics, no mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt this disconnection between my body and my brain,\u201d Erika recalled, perched in a swanky Manhattan cafe in early November. \u201cMy body did get turned on. I felt it in my guts, you know?\u201d She squinted and gripped her abdomen. \u201cBut the women that I saw were not my women. I didn\u2019t identify with them. I didn\u2019t feel that that kind of sexual encounter had anything to do with my sex life, and what I expected of sex.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Sweden, Lust is currently based in Barcelona, where she lives with her husband (who doubles as her business partner) and two teenage daughters. She produces the majority of her work around Europe, where porn\u2014and sex in general\u2014are less of a taboo<\/a>, and she doesn\u2019t often find herself in America.<\/p>\n
