GILF-a-Mania!: 12 Tales of Granny Lust (GILFs)

Product Information

It’s a powerful approach, especially in this world we live in, where everything is so fast and furious.

I wanted to show that sex can be absolutely beautiful and wonderful and sexy even with older bodies. This is one of the problems that we need to talk about, because in all other aspects of life, we don't let that happen. Television sex scenes tend to feature teenagers and twentysomethings — an exception being Grace and Frankie, a show that broke ground by focusing on the dating lives of two single women in their 70s — and pornography is similarly youth-obsessed. They now teach courses like the Art and Science of Loving Relationships, and they have sex every day.

I had climaxes and multiple climaxes and all those things with conventional sex, but this is so different,” says Annie, who started the practice just over a few years ago. Porn has somehow gotten the right to exist in this space where free speech is so open that we are letting it get into racism and misogynistic language. ALLURE: Back to John and Annie: You wanted to make a film with an older couple because you felt that they're often left out of the sex conversation, but also because your audience requested it, right?

ALLURE: In the past 10 years, mainstream pornography has lost the beauty of filmmaking and eroticism.

I'm not going to send my daughters to a bar without talking to them about alcohol and drugs and the risk of leaving your glass somewhere, but we tend to leave children with access to the Internet without talking to them about what that involves. ALLURE: I think of porn as a film showing explicit sex with the intention of titillating the viewer. If we make it to 100, we'll still be making love," Annie tells me via Skype from the Canary Islands home she shares with John.If you know how Lust's sex docs work, then you know that after the interview portion of this piece, we're going to see this couple have sex. I had also wanted to shoot an older couple for years, but there are not many active people in pornography over the age of 35.

We have this prejudice, as always, about porn stars: We see them as promiscuous, strange creatures who are into orgies and sex parties. At some hours, in some countries, the traffic driven toward pornography sites makes up one-third of Internet usage.When you truly focus mindfully on your own sensations, you're nurturing yourself, but, in a sense, that means you're nurturing your partner.

But no — later on in life, you can have other experiences with new people and evolve, sexually and as human beings. The first frame of indie-porn director Erika Lust's new sex documentary, Soulsex, shows two clasped hands; one is amply freckled, and the other appears soft and delicate. What I would hope is for them to see that sex is something that probably will accompany them during all their lives, and to stop obsessing so much on that it's only something for young people. ALLURE: We’re living longer lives than ever before, so watching John and Annie gives me hope that my sex life will be long, too.Most of the XConfessions stories are fictional, but lately, I've been making films in which we get to know real couples and we get to see the kind of sex they have in their ordinary lives. The idea is that these documentaries will show you different ideas around sex, because I think that people — we have so many questions. Go to Redtube or Pornhub and you will see things like "tiny teens getting destroyed,""nailing my pervy sis," and "slutty Latinas. So many of us have these anxieties about our bodies, and I think watching people onscreen who are strong in their sexuality and personality can help us find more confidence.
