Views On Lesbian Porn
Depictions of lesbianism have been popular in the visual arts, and especially in erotic art, since at least the time of ancient Rome. For much of the history of cinema and television, lesbianism was considered taboo, though since the 1960s it has increasingly become a theme in its own right. First used in softcore movies and erotic thrillers, depictions of lesbianism entered the mainstream in the 1980s. In pornography, depictions of lesbian sex form a popular subgenre, geared toward a mostly male heterosexual audience who, some studies have suggested, are aroused more by lesbian scenes than by heterosexual images.

Famous quotes containing the words views and/or lesbian:
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“It is the lesbian in us who is creative, for the dutiful daughter of the fathers in us is only a hack.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
