"What’s the intersection between motherhood and sexuality? Perhaps no one knows better than Erika Lust, an award-winning erotic filmmaker and mother of two young daughters, aged 6 and 10. Born in Sweden and based in Barcelona, Lust (not her real name) has been creating content about female desire since 2005 and describes herself as a feminist provocateur who’s revolutionizing pornography. Her independent company, LustCinema, has grown into a veritable empire of the sexual arts, while she speaks out against misogyny and celebrates healthy and intelligent sexuality.
On the first episode of Rashida Jones’ Netflix docuseries Hot Girls Wanted, Lust explains she wants to capture the emotional aspects of sex in her work, not just erections and orifices. She achieves this through an innovative and interactive project, XConfessions, where users share their personal sex stories and fantasies. Each month, Lust chooses her favorite two fantasies (like one in which a female pianist climaxes on-stage) and turns them into short films, creating alternative adult cinema with high production value and a focus on storytelling. This is nothing short of revolutionary in the current world of porn, but she's not done. She also wants to see a revolution in the way we talk about sex off-screen."
