PorYes is the name of the first European feminist porn movie award. For the first time in 2009, feminist, European porn directors were awarded in Berlin. With the "oyster-trophy" porn movies are awarded that show mainly female desire and care about a variety of sexuality. Furthermore, mainly women should be involved in the production of the film. The PorYes was also be established as a cachet for feminist porn.
The women participating and initiating the event see themselves as part of the " sex-positive women´s movement". The festival is arranged by a Berlin sex-shop for women and the Berlin network “Freudenfluss”, which supports “holistic and manifold lust and love styles”. A famous supporter of “PorYes” is the German left-wing newspaper “ taz”.
The initiators of the feminist porno film prize wanted it to contribute to positive sexual enlightenment. Therefore, they wanted to establish “PorYes” as a certificate to differentiate "the typical, largely sexist and cliché porn from the women- and human-oriented sex-positive porn productions." Thus, the Feminist Porno Film Prize awards special productions and also the life-work of people who try to contribute to this sex-positive depiction of women in porn. Awarded genres are, for example: "Sex documentation ( documentaries), sexperts (educational films), feature films with sex scenes, sexual orientations (like heterotica, lesbirotica, queerotica or transporno), particular practices like safe sex porn or sexual competence and general excitement, intelligent porn (with dialogues), more remotely special stories, sound, or even a business prize for successful women in the porn industry."
