Q: "How do you see Femina Potens as a positive force in the feminist community of performers and directors in the adult entertainment industry?" "Feminism in adult film emerged during the feminist ”sex wars” over pornography decades ago. At that time, a fledgling subculture called sex-positive feminism challenged the anti-porn, anti-sex feminists who believed that pornography incited violence against women. The pro-porn warriors of those days, Annie Sprinkle, Carol Queen, Nina Hartley, Pat/Patrick Califia, and Gayle Rubin, to name a few, shaped a philosophy of female empowerment that is the creative heart of Femina Potens."

Q. "How has becoming a FP volunteer cultivated a difference in your life?" A: " Volunteering at FP has connected me to an amazing network of artists, friends, events and organizations that make little baby queers like me feel enriched, valued, and happy to be alive!  Two years ago I never would have had the balls to attend a bondage event or porn screening, but today I'm sitting in the front row!  Not only do I get to participate in all that FP has to offer, but as a volunteer I help to make FP an important place in other people's lives.  I thank FP for anchoring me in the San Francisco queer community."
