ABSTRACTWhat are the social/political possibilities of ‘feminist porn?’ How might feminists broach these films within the context of their wider communities? Given the uncertainty that surrounds the future of this genre, many feminists have embraced a posture of ‘ambivalence’ about feminist porn. In what follows, I argue against the necessity of such an approach.

I conclude by exploring how Freud’s insights might be used to expand the impact of feminist porn within the social/political sphere.
