April Flores, We Love You More Than Ever

April Flores is many things: gorgeous, smart, sexy—and yes, a BBW (and a pornstar!). And she doesn't take kindly to people who say derogatory things about BBW porn.

In a recent blog post, the lovely Ms. Flores took an adult industry magazine to task for publishing a demeaning, offensive article on the BBW porn genre. We won't reprint the gross statements included in the article (far better to read them alongside April's commentary), but we did want to give her props for her closing paragraph:

The reason I am so upset is because I have met so many amazing plus sized women in the industry. They are proud, hard working, sexual, smart, business minded women. My fabulous peers and I deserve the same respect given to the thinner women written about in the magazine. Being a plus sized girl in this industry takes strength, courage and nerve. This article could've been pretty effective, groundbreaking even, but instead the writer took it as his opportunity to let us all know how much he does not enjoy bigger women. Aside from BBW porn being a means for fat lovers to jack off to, it's also very important in helping other curvy girls in becoming comfortable with being sexual and expressing their sexuality. I can not explain in words how wonderful it feels to read an email or meet a woman in real life who THANKS me for being out there representing fat girls. I've heard many women's struggles with feeling beautiful and desired. They tell me how seeing women who look like them makes them feel better about their bodies. In my world THIS is the respect fat girls get in real life and THIS is the respect I give all my plus sized sisters.

Sing it, sister!
