Lesbian Pornography
Lesbianism is a prominent theme in hard core and softcore pornography, with many adult video titles, websites, and entire studios (such as Girlfriends Films, Triangle Films, and Sweetheart Video) devoted entirely to depictions of lesbian sexual activity. Lesbian pornography typically appeals and is aimed predominantly at a male audience and many heterosexual adult videos include a lesbian sex scene. In Japanese adult video, however, lesbianism is considered a fetish and is only occasionally included in heterosexual videos. Rezu (レズ—lesbian) video is a specialized genre, though a large number of such videos are produced.
Most porn actresses have performed in lesbian sex scenes, with a number, such as Jana Cova, Felecia, Justine Joli, Jade Starr, Sinn Sage, Ariel X, Eve Angel, Sammie Rhodes, and Charlie Laine, specializing in the genre and only have on-screen sex with other women. Though porn industry publicity tends to portray porn actresses as being bisexual, such on-screen activity does not necessarily reflect real-life sexual orientation. Some actresses who perform in these scenes are bisexual or lesbian in real life, while others are "gay-for-pay" and are exclusively heterosexual off-camera.
On-screen lesbian sex (in both Western and Japanese pornography) is typically aimed at a male audience (though it also has a small lesbian audience), and usually grouped with "straight" porn. This is in contrast to gay male pornography, which is considered a genre of its own. Some pornography is made by lesbians, such as the defunct lesbian erotic magazine On Our Backs, videos by Fatale Media, SIR Video, Pink and White Productions, and BLEU Productions, and web sites such as the CyberDyke Network.

Famous quotes containing the word lesbian:
“When you take a light perspective, it’s easier to step back and relax when your child doesn’t walk until fifteen months, . . . is not interested in playing ball, wants to be a cheerleader, doesn’t want to be a cheerleader, has clothes strewn in the bedroom, has difficulty making friends, hates piano lessons, is awkward and shy, reads books while you are driving through the Grand Canyon, gets caught shoplifting, flunks Spanish, has orange and purple hair, or is lesbian or gay.”
—Charlotte Davis Kasl (20th century)
