Every Thursday, Naked City expands your pornographic worldview with tales from the far reaches of the earth. Four international pornographers share this space to tell all about the experiences of being porny and making porn outside of the United States.
Bren Ryder is the creator of GoodDykePorn.com, an independent amateur hard core pornographic video website which proudly features authentic queer women having amazingly hot sex.
Many years ago I became convinced that life as an independent filmmaker wasn't the career path for me. I was tired of being a starving artist and I wanted to proudly answer the question, "what do you do?" and the feel the respect from the interested party. So, what new career would I embark upon? As an able-bodied butch dyke in my twenties, I had the answer: firefighter. What's hotter than that? I could ride big trucks, save children from burning buildings and work towards a pension, benefits and all that good stuff.
I put all independent film projects on hold and dedicated myself to this new career. One of those projects was to be to create a new kind of porn, porn featuring real women who love women who really fuck each other on camera. But, that can wait, I thought. I'll become a firefighter first, then I'll make porn on the side.
I spent over 5 years taking courses, working out, volunteering, testing, failing, testing again, succeeding, more courses, interviews, interview tests and more. Over time, my desire to perform first aid on people began to dwindle and my desire to make hot, sexy, authentic, dyke porn began to grow. I asked myself, why do I want to be firefighter? To help people? To be a hero? When I was being honest I knew that I was doing it for all the wrong reasons: status.
I had to stop immediately. That wasn't truly my dream. My dream all along was to create quality dyke porn. A big part of my mission in filming real women having sex with their girlfriends and their lovers was to combat shame - shame of female sexuality, shame of our bodies and even the shame of watching porn. I wanted to change the face of porn entirely. I couldn't do that on the side. So, I quit my pursuit to become a firefighter. I let go of the notion of being a hero and having an easy answer when asked what I do for a living. 
Instead, I got a camera, some beautiful and courageous queer women and I set out to make good dyke porn. In August 2007, GoodDykePorn.com was born. The site is growing bit by bit and is on its way to becoming a home grown phenomenon. Being one of the first women to create a scene for the collection I'm proud to have shown my naked body, flashed my cunt and exposed my orgasm to thousands of viewers. Now, when asked, what do you do, I proudly answer: a pornographer! And, funnily enough, I've just been nominated in my city, Vancouver, Canada, for a Community Hero Award for Visual Artist of the Year. So, I guess I am a hero after all.
Share the naked love
