Fem Porn or Feminist Pornography is also a phenomenon of the digital Revolution. Before the rather cheap possibilities of digital production and distribution via the internet, a couple of production and distribution companies had the say on what was worthy of being spread. Having a commercial interest, they went for what they thought they’d be able to sell the most. Productions led by women or even films made for women could hardly make it through, as the typical customer was seen as male. The internet made it possible that those productions, that would have fallen through the grid before, could now find their audience. Over time, a growing market emerged, which is still a nieche, but already economically so relevant, that mainstream companies have started their own branches of porn for women.
Feminist Porn usually has women deciding over modes of productions and the output of it. It includes an ethically led workplace, fair pay, but also films that not only serve male desire and show women merely as the object to fulfil it. Among the pioneers are Candida Royalle, Petra Joy, Ovidie and Erika Lust. The latter became the biggest shot in the sector, now also producing the films of other aspiring fem porn directors.

Fem Porn usually has a more glossy aesthetic and still shows a rather conventional standard of beauty and desire. Another genre that became bigger shortly after, and which concentrates more on these aspects is Queer Porn.
