It was formed by Violet blue in response to the Stop Porn Culture conference. Violet Blue has now set up a Facebook page and website as resources. There’s also a Twitter hashtag: #proporn

One of the speakers is Prof. Donna M. Hughes, who slandered MayMay for his role as an organizer of KinkForAll, and conflates his role as an organizer with human trafficking.
You should also watch Violet’s video, in which she talks about women, anti-porn feminists and porn. She’s also running a contest – make a video that you are pro-porn.
Pro-Porn Principles:
WE who declare that organizations such as Feminists Against Pornography do not speak for us.
WE who want the world to know that organizations such as Feminists Against Pornography do not represent feminists as a group.
WE who believe that every woman has the right and power to enjoy her sexuality as she decides.
WE who believe that to tell a woman how she may or may not enjoy her sexuality in any way is to deny that woman of her rights over her sexuality.
WE who state that any woman who attempts to control the way another woman enjoys, explores or expresses her sexuality is in fact creating a world that is harmful for all women.
WE who state that we are women, and we like pornography.
WE who state that as women, we are not harmed or threatened by the creation or viewing of pornography, and we wholly support the rights of any gender to view, create and enjoy pornography without judgment.
WE who want a world in which pornography is simply a sex toy enjoyed by all genders and sexual orientations, where women and men view porn within their own self-defined healthy sexuality, without being considered sick, twisted, wrong or mentally ill, and that men who enjoy pornography are no more likely to beat their wives, rape women or become peadophiles than anyone else in society.
WE hereby declare ourselves as adult women capable of making our own choices about our bodies and enjoyment of explicit visual stimulation for our sexual health and well-being.
WE hereby demand that our voices be heard.
