10 Zen Monkey’s has an interview with Violet Blue (mp3 version) up talking alot about her new job writing for the SF Chronicle and about porn in general. I got a kick out of the last part of the interview, when the topic turns to bad porn:

SR: I called him the Bruce Campbell of B-level porn.
VB: He’s not even that good. I would do Bruce Campbell. Evan Stone is like the Chippendales dancer that got lost. Overly waxed. Lantern jaw. He’ the kind of guy where girls like me look and say, “Where are all the hot guys in porn?”

SR: They’re in gay porn.
JD: In your book, you write about a lot of girls renting gay porn just because the guys are so hot.
VB: It’s true. I see it in the Castro all the time. I’m never the only woman in the gay porn section. The guys are really hot and there’s actual sexualization of male bodies. Mainstream porn is really homophobic. It’s depictions of male sexuality are really negative, for the most part. And in gay porn, it’s more like, “Whoo hoo! Look what I got. It’s fun. Let’s play with it.” And women like me, who like guys, are like, “Whoo hoo! Yay. Let’s play with it.”
