Porn For Women Retrospective 2014

2014 marks the tenth anniversary of the Ms Naughty Porn for Women Blog and the ninth anniversary of this retrospective. And you know, I’m not sure the retrospective is needed anymore, especially since the topics have expanded beyond the old idea of “porn for women” and now include feminist porn, queer porn and censorship. Still, habits are hard to break and there has actually been a lot to report on Read More …

Porn For Women Retrospective 2013

2013 marks my 13th year in porn and this is the 8th yearly retrospective about porn for women. Last year I noted the term wasn’t used as much as “feminist porn”. This year has seen multiple denunciations of the phrase in the media and industry. Perhaps this is indicative of an evolving porn industry and a changing audience, although Google searches for “porn for women” remain prevalent. Will this be Read More …

My Sexy, Powerful Childhood Heroines

Now that I’m hideously old and decrepit I’m allowed to indulge in nostalgia because, well, because I say so. But since I also write a feminist blog about sex and porn I thought I might as well bring a bit of analysis into my reminiscing. Because why the hell not?

I totally get why guys want to appear in porn. It seems like the perfect job: you get to fuck beautiful women for money, right? And there’s no real social stigma attached for men like there is for women. Indeed, the average guy might assume that he’d be considered a stud and lauded for his sexual prowess. The reality is very different. Being a male porn star requires a very specific set of skills. Read More …

Romance Porn Is The New Black

While there haven’t been many indie female-friendly porn productions released lately, I found myself overwhelmed by the sheer number of “romance” titles that the mainstream industry is currently churning out. There seems to be a new series or title coming out daily. And given that the porn parody steam train might be finally slowing down, romance is suddenly the new black.

And that means, ladies, that suddenly it’s all about you. Read More …

There’s Now More Naked Men In Romantic Comedies: Research

Happily, it seems that romantic comedies, the much derided “chick flicks” aimed at women, are seeking to redress the balance. Chloe Angyal is studying RomComs for her PhD and she says that a spate of recent films have embraced the idea of male nudity, ostensibly to make the female audience happy and horny. Read More …

Porn for Women and Feminist Porn Roundup

In the wake of last week’s Feminist Porn Awards there’s been a flurry of articles in the media discussing feminist porn and the kind of erotica that women enjoy. This has co-incided with media interest in the e-book bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey. I thought I’d combine them into something of a mega-post. Erika Lust won film of the year for Caberet Desire at the FPAs. She’s been very busy Read More …

“The Thought Of Her” Nominated For A Feminist Porn Award

The nominations for the 2012 Feminist Porn Awards have been announced and I’m pleased to say that my new feature The Thought Of Her has been nominated. I’m in good company. Well-known directors like Erika Lust, Petra Joy, Tristan Taormino, Courtney Trouble and Nica Noelle appear in the list along with a large number of new names. I think I’m going to have to do some research and find out Read More …
