For those of you falling into withdrawal while awaiting the 2014 season three première of Girls, we have good news. Banking on the success of the hit HBO show, Hustler has decided to make porno entitled This Ain't Girls XXX, because apparently we hadn't seen enough naked Hannah already.

The video, which has already finished filming, parodies the show's plot of post-graduate women navigating the existential roller coaster that is their 20s -- only in this scenario, Hannah gives up men, temporarily experiments with women, and then she and Adam engage in some light BDSM.
Of course, word has already gotten around to show creator Lena Dunham, a.k.a. Hannah Horvath, who was less than thrilled about the prospect of a Girls-inspired porno. The writer-director-actress took to Twitter following Hustler's announcement addressing her issue with the yet-to-be-released video:
Okay, I wracked my brain to articulate why I can't just laugh off a porn parody of Girls and here are 3 reasons:

1. Because Girls is, at its core, a feminist action while Hustler is a company that markets and monetizes a male's idea of female sexuality

2. Because a big reason I engage in (simulated) onscreen sex is to counteract a skewed idea of that act created by the proliferation of porn

3. Because it grosses me out.

It's important to me to be honest about the complexities of having that out in the world. Love, Lena (porn name: Murray Broadway)

While we're curious to see if this response will deter fans from purchasing the porno, we have to admit we're slightly more curious to see it. Because come on, making a porn parody of already kinky and sexual explicit show? You can do better than that, Hustler.
