Every time I see Camille across the interwebs, I almost always take the opportunity to tell her I have a lady crush on her. I'm sure she gets it like--every other day. But who could've imagined seeing Camille Crimson as a feminist pornographer just one decade ago?
Feminist pornography has seen a huge rise in popularity and we are excited to have one of the most amazing creators of beautiful porn write for us! Camille is not only the connoisseur of blowjobs, but she inspires and empowers us everyday as women! Camille Crimson proves that porn, specifically feminist porn, is beautiful, artistic, honest, and authentic. Here are her top five reasons porn can be beautiful!

#1 Beautiful images and cinematography
Many people go above and beyond point and shoot. When we think of porn, there are a lot of stereotypes that aren't conducive to beauty, and a lot of that stems from the styling and shakey/static camera work. Sure, there's a lot of that, but there are also more and more directors who take their pornographic oeuvres as seriously as any cinematic shooter. Looking up art porn, glam porn and beautiful porn will yield some breathtaking imagery. People like Erika Lust, Andrew Blake and, yes, yours truly, are excellent jumping-off points for the finer side of pornographic aesthetics. #2 Real couples
You can find real couples and real passion: Not everyone in porn is payed to have sex. As much as there are a whole lot of actors, people are increasingly taking the leap to shoot with people they love, or at least people they love having sex with. Whether it's amateur newcomers on Make Love, Not Porn or real couples who have made the leap to erotic filmmaking such as Lilyanne Bloom and Max Sauvage of Pornographic Love Violet+Rye of Uncommon Appetites, you'll find explosive eye contact, intense desire and beautiful orgasms.
#3 Educational There's a ton of education, both overt and implied: It seems like there are educational porn lines popping up left right and centre. What's more beautiful than something that you can sit back and enjoy and leave with some new wisdom about pleasure and connection? Tristan Taormino's Vivid Ed series is one of many great examples of people who not only understand sex, but know how to teach it in an accessible and sexy way.
#4 Authenticity
You can find beauty in moments, not just in shots: Beautiful porn isn't just about the look, it's also about the feel. When people are aiming to make something beautiful, it captures you in little feelings. Whether it's lingering eye contact, a little giggle, a smirk or a lip bite, there's focus on so much more than the act itself. Getting caught in one of these suspended moments in time is such a rare and wonderful thing, both in life and in porn.
It's inspirational, as all art should be: When you watch beautiful porn, you don't just get off... You get inspired! The experiences you can relate to your own life, the simple premises, the attention to detail...
It all reminds you that you can do that. You can have the kind of passionate, connected sex you see before you. And you're just riled up enough to go out and see for yourself. That's a beautiful thing!
