Femmerotic, which calls itself a "prosexual, pansexual independent site collective," has launched. "Femmerotic contains content and links which address and embrace many diverse aspects of human sexuality," the site's entry page declares forthrightly. And their aim is separating the wheat from the chaff of online erotica for women - and for men, for that matter. nrn"Femmerotic offers an excellent starting point for sex-positive surfers seeking sexual material that empowers, embraces and arouses," says editor Heather Corinna. "In the realm of Internet sexual content, which is overwrought with consumer fraud, pop-up windows and substandard recycled content, Femmerotic allows viewers to safely surf for sexual information and intelligent erotica that is too often lost in the vast sea of the adult Net." nrnCorinna herself seems a strong avatar of intelligent erotica. In her essay, "Sexuality Without Walls," in her "Wench Weekly" column May 17, she makes note of the growing attitude that erotica is now aiming as much toward women as toward men; but she's not amused that it's taking on what she sees as much of the same vapidity as male-oriented erotica of late. nrn"For whatever reason, many adult Internet producers, and a small throng of independents, have decided that the next wave of porn consumers will have breasts, overflowing pocketbooks, and an insatiable appetite for naked men," she writes. "No, I'm not kidding. It's funny, isn't it? It might be anyway, if it weren't so terribly sad. Women - yippee - are now being included in being given the same sort of vapid, superficial and substandard material that men have had to put up with and aren't satisfied by." nrnAVN Adult Internet Award winner RetroRaunch is one of the sites in the Femmerotic network.
