Here’s some info from their press release: But wait, what is feminism doing getting into bed with porn? At Good For Her, we are feminists and we sell and rent porn.

More Proof That Ewan McGregor Is Wonderful

I think Ewan McGregor is gorgeous and he has long been a favourite actor of mine due to his eagerness to get his gear off in films. I think he should win an award for “Most Full Frontal Male Nude Scenes”. Now he’s told Out magazine that he doesn’t mind kissing guys on set because it “gets his blood up.” Talking about kissing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in ‘Velvet Goldmine’, Ewan Read More …

Great Moments In Australian Censorship

So, while I’m waiting for the Classification Board to officially say that they don’t think female ejaculation is urine, I thought I’d compile a quick list of other things that have been banned by our great and heroic censors in the last decade. * In 2009 Jennifer Lyon Bell’s gorgeous erotic film Matinee was due to screen at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. The ACB refused the festival permission to Read More …

Female Ejaculation Films To Be Banned In Australia

I’ve received a circular from the Eros Association, the advocacy group for the Australian adult industry. Thanks to shit stirring by a fundamentalist Christian group, the rules have been tightened as to what adult films can be imported into Australia. The Classification Board has explicitly stated that films featuring female ejaculation will now be seized and considered RC – refused classification. Effectively banned. This also means that female ejaculation sites Read More …

British Censors Finally Allow Female Ejaculation Scene

I’ve just received a PR email from British adult film director Anna Span. She’s won an important legal victory over the British Board of Film Classification (UK censors) over whether female ejaculation exists. Her film Women Love Porn, which contains shorts from five separate female directors, has been held up for several years thanks to the original ruling of the BBFC with regards to the ejaculation scene. The censors maintained Read More …

The Joy Award: Encouraging Female Perspectives In Porn

I’ve long been a fan of the films of Petra Joy. Now she’s launched The Joy Award, a short film competition that aims to encourage new female filmmakers to create erotic movies. This award is for first time female film-makers who would like to create erotic films that dare to question porn clichés and show sex in innovative and creative ways… The theme of the short film competition is: “What Read More …

Feminist Porn Awards Nominees List

Just a quickie post which I’ll expand on Monday when I have time: Good For Her has released the list of nominees for the Feminist Porn Awards 2009. My little short, That’s What I Like, is listed. This is fab, but I should reveal the facts behind it. I’ve actually withdrawn the film from competition because For The Girls decided to sponsor the awards after I’d posted off the movie. Read More …

“Feeling It” To Be Part of Candida’s Femme Line

Good news for female porn fans in the US – Petra Joy has revealed on her blog that Feeling It is going to be distributed in America through Candida Royalle’s Femme line of films, and Adam and Eve. I know Petra’s had a hell of a time trying to get her films out to the public, with numerous potential distributors either going broke or else trying to impose inappropriate ideas Read More …

Off With The Porn Fairies

My poor blog has been neglected for a week now, but I like to think I’ve got a good excuse. I’m currently editing the footage from my first ever video shoot which occurred over the weekend. It involved a heap of planning beforehand and a very busy couple of days in the city. It was my first time directing and working behind the camera. I’m pleased to say that whole Read More …

Rated X Festival – Wish I Was There

Tomorrow marks the start of another wonderful erotic film festival, this time in the Netherlands. The Rated-X Alternative Erotica Film Festival features a fascinating variety of unusual, artistic and very sexy films offering a very different view of sexuality and porn. It’s almost the exact opposite of what was recently on show at the AVN awards. At the Berlin Porn Film Festival I was very lucky to meet one of Read More …

AVN Awards Nominations Offer Few Surprises

The 54 page list of AVN Awards Nominations has been released and yes, I wasted too much of my precious time scrolling through it this afternoon. There isn’t much to report really; AVN has once again nominated the standard selection of big-name porn movies and the same old stars as part of the industry’s yearly orgy of self-congratulation. Innovation or new ideas don’t really get much of a look in Read More …

Berlin Porn Film Festival Report and Video

It’s taken far too long but I’ve finally posted my video and report of my adventures at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. I was held up waiting for permission and excerpts from some of the films and unfortunately most of those I contacted didn’t reply. It’s a shame because I saw so much talent on display at the festival and I was eager to give those people a bit of Read More …

Porn Festivals Everywhere!

Maybe I’m just more aware of porn festivals since I went to Berlin, but it seems they’re popping up everywhere. This weekend sees the second Pornotopia Feminist Porn Film Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Petra’s Feeling It and Erika’s Five Hot Stories For Her are featured, as is Audacia’s funny new short Dacia’s Love Machine.
