Erika Lust is an indie erotic filmmaker who creates indie adult cinema with realistic, hot sex and relatable characters and scenarios, offering a more cinematic alternative to the mass-produced mainstream porn. When she started her career, they used to tell her there was no market for women in the porn industry. Today, she’s a pioneer in quality female-led erotic cinema, inspiring people of all genders to empower themselves through their sexuality. Here, she shares her choice for Product of the Week – a weekly round-up of the Dazed Beauty team and wider community must-have buys.
Bijoux Indiscrets is one of my favourite brands from the city I live in, Barcelona! The ladies who work behind it are incredible women and dear friends, and all of their products are vegan and cruelty-free, which means they haven't been tested on animals. As a vegan myself, this is an important factor to consider when choosing the products I use.
I like their ‘Slow Sex’ collection because it was designed to claim what we usually consider ‘preliminaries’ as actual, good sex and not only as some kind of prelude practice before “real” sex. ‘Slow Sex’ is a series of products that want you to take your time to feel the pleasure and connect with yourself and one another while letting you go to the rhythm of touching, kissing, licking, biting… which is all I look for when shooting my own films!

I like this Warming Massage Oil so much because of its sweet coconut aroma that makes it perfect for a hot, sensual massage to/by a partner all over your body… before you dedicate yourself to licking and kissing it all! Once you apply it on the skin, gently blow on it to boost the warming sensation and make your Valentine’s night hotter! Nothing better than spending a night by giving each other mind-blowing shivers of pleasure.

Many similar products on the market happen to be quite sticky, which might result in a weird, uncomfortable friction on the skin that could easily kill the mood. The smooth texture of ‘Slow Sex’ Warming Massage Oil makes it extremely pleasurable when caressing the skin, so you can let yourself go with the pleasure flow all night with no interruptions.
This product is great for partner play but don’t underestimate its capacity to enhance your self-pleasure too! You can combine it with your favourite sex toy and raise the temperature of your solo play.

It feels like… a warm, sweet caress all over your body.
If this product was a film, it would be...Hungry For Your Touch, one of my films about the power of human connection and physical touch.
If I were communicating this product to an alien only using hand gestures, I would... close my eyes, rub my body, and make a very satisfied face so they can tell I’m really enjoying myself.
