San Francisco, CA -- (August 19th, 2011): Turned off by mainstream porn?  Harsh lighting, faked orgasms and surreal bodies not doing it for you?  Good Vibrations is pleased to present a luscious alternative with a collection of explicit shorts by feminist porn filmmaker Erika Lust on Sunday, September 19th at the Roxie Theatre as part of its 6th annual Indie Erotic Film Festival.  If beautiful lighting, original music, erotic plots and authentic female pleasure turn you on, then Erika Lust may be your new favorite pornographer.

What is “Feminist Porn”?
