You were born in Stockholm but live in Barcelona. How did he get to Catalonia?
Erasmus took me to Madrid when I turned 22. Then I came to Barcelona to look for work, and how not, because I love the sea. It was clear from the beginning that I would stay here.
Pornography is usually made for men. Have there been any developments in the sector?
Pornography today has nothing to do with that of the '70s or '80s. I define it as a punishment fucking. Sex does not appear as something that people do, but as what women do to men. Anyone who critically reflects will find that 99% of the pornography on the net represents women as a tool
to give pleasure to men. The porn industry is based on the male gaze. I have returned to women the sex of pornography: women are also sexual beings.
Some people believe that conventional pornography is a showcase of our society. Do you agree?
The Internet has changed radically but, at the same time, pornography as owner has not changed. Men who produce male fantasies are still dominated. Scarce presence of artists, creators and intellectuals in the sector. Today’s pornography is similar to McDonald’s, cheap and generally unhealthy. It satisfies you for a moment, but it makes you feel bad after swallowing, because of the way the woman presents herself.
Have you had any reference?
I think the movies of the golden age of pornography are interesting. They had scripts and interesting characters and they were recorded through movie cameras. However, this gender has great potential and I believe that no one has been able to exploit it. My references, therefore, are more present in photography and in conventional cinemas.
How should the actors who are going to participate in your movies be?
I like to work with people who fit my values and perspectives. I have two conditions. A natural
body, not operated. The second, and very important, is to be over 21 years old. I think it's important to have sex experience
and be clear that you want to make adult movies.
You've ever said that society is polluted. Why?
Conventional pornography has been introduced into the media, it is no longer hidden, it has a limited extension. Look at the ads of Pornhub, they all have millions of views… Pornhube has no content of its own, uses stolen content from the producers, regardless of the content that the users upload. And I've never seen a man questioning the use of women. On the contrary, people applaud. They're so used to it because it looks like normal.
You did it in 2014 XConfessions.com. What exactly was it?
This is a website designed for users to write their own sexual fantasies or intimate stories. They can be written in whatever language you want. I see them and I choose two recognitions a month to record the short films we publish on the website itself.
The project is three years old. How did it go?
All right! The company has skyrocketed. In September we will publish the 10th volume and we have already made 100 short films. I get a lot of messages from both men and women who congratulate me on creating such a space.
Are you optimistic? Do you think conventional pornography is going to turn a look at women?
Conventional pornography does not go away. Well, you don't have to censor it. Let everyone see what they want. But today there is a demand for alternative adult cinema. What needs to be done is to promote the awareness of production. It is time for all the actors involved in industry to promote their debate. And by the way, we have to talk about pornography with our children. At any time they will find that and we have to deal with that problem. For that I have created, together with my husband Pablo Dobner thepornconversation.org, a nonprofit project.
“Suedian jaio nintzen eta heziketa sexual bikaina jaso nuen, irekia, munduko beste hainbat tokitan tabua diren gauzak jorratuz; pornotik hasita feminismora bitarte. Hala ere, pornografiaren industriarekiko interes erreala beranduago piztu zitzaidan. Aurki ikusi nuen porno konbentzionala gizonezkoentzat egina zegoela gehienbat, eta ez hori bakarrik, baizik eta gainera garbiki sexista zela. Zientzia Politiko ikasketak egin nituen bitartean Linda Williamsen liburu bat iritsi zitzaidan esku artera; bera izan zen pornoa kontakizun propioa zuen genero gisa landu zuen lehen idazlea, eta hari esker hasi nintzen kontakizun horren parte izateko irrika sentitzen”.
