All New Porn Movies For Women

Back in 2004, I threw together a little site in html called Porn Movies For Women to go with the domain name that I’d just bought. On it I listed all the good female-friendly porn movies I knew of. The list came to about 30 titles, at most. Mainly I just listed the Candida Royalle titles, plus a few other “couples porn” films that I thought other straight women would Read More …

Men In Corsets

In Berlin last year I happened upon this lovely postcard from TomTo (who make male corsets) and promptly pocketed it. By co-incidence, that same day @girlonetrack linked to a gorgeous male lingerie site on Twitter. I’ve been meaning to do this post ever since. Men in corsets are hot. I don’t know why. They just are. This is personal taste, of course, but I suspect a lot of other women Read More …

“Excessive Genital Detail”: Photoshopped Vulvas In Men’s Mags

A while ago I went to Sexpo and came home with a showbag full of… well, I didn’t bother to look to be honest. I was too busy being interested in my new corsets. The bag got shoved into a corner of my office and ignored until I did some cleaning. Thus I discovered 3 freebie copies of softcore men’s magazines: Zoo Weekly, Picture and People. These magazines won’t win Read More …

Porn For Women Retrospective 2011

Once again it’s time to write a wrap-up of the news and happenings from women’s porn over the past year. Continuing financial and social insecurity have been big news in 2011 and the world of porn has also seen its share of uncertainty. Something that has become apparent over the last 12 months is that female consumers have become incredibly comfortable with adult material; the new generation of internet users Read More …

Porn For Women (?)

I thought I’d have fun today and thus made a little promo video for For The Girls, messing with the idea of “what women want” – the men doing housework, the bridal stroll along the beach, the romance novels… I have to say, it took a lot longer than I expected because I had to only use sexy videos that weren’t remotely explicit, while still giving the idea of sex. Read More …

Fairy Tale Porn

Fairy tales, while seemingly innocent, are often rife with sexual imagery and metaphors. The big bad wolf could easily be seen as the corrupter of Little Red Riding Hood’s virginity, for example. For many of us, the fairy tales of our youth may be entangled with our first glimpses of the erotic. For girls, the promise of Prince Charming often lead to speculation about the details of the wedding night. Read More …

Don’t Dream It, Be It: Women Enjoying Porn And Making Porn

Lady Porn Day. There are so many things I could write about porn for women* and women’s enjoyment of porn. And there’s so much I’ve already written; the landing page of my blog has a whole bunch of posts that I recommend you read. What I want to do here is talk about the future of women’s porn because perhaps Lady Porn Day is a marker of sorts. It feels Read More …

The Female Gaze Does Not Exist?

I’ve sat on this post for two days now, hesitating on publishing it. Even now, I’ve cut out a fair bit that was a bit too ranty and controversial or wrong-headed. In any case, here it is: It started when I discovered that Fleshbot has decided to do weekly posts discussing porn that straight women might enjoy. I was surprised to discover this as that porn blog has never really Read More …

My Decade In Online Porn

It’s now ten years since I bought my first domain name. This means I’ve been creating erotica online for a whole decade – 2000 to 2010. When I started out I never imagined I’d be doing it for this long, nor that it would take me as far as it has. In the last ten years I’ve seen the online adult industry evolve from single images on slow dial-up to Read More …
