There’s another porn movie for women on the scene. This one is softcore and created by a TV executive, backed by market research. Man Of My Dreams features 7 vignettes with a variety of fantasy men – the fireman, the handyman etc – and is 38 minutes long.
The film and its director, Mimi Balfour, scored a decent write up in the National Post. Mimi told the paper: “There was nothing soft and sexy for women who want to dip their toe in the adult-content area,” she says. “I wanted something intelligent, with a sense of humour.”

I’m gonna have to be cynical here and say that EVERY porn for women creator says that there was nothing available for women… until they made it. And a lot of consumers go for it, I guess, so it’s a good marketing spiel. Of course, the real truth is that the “for women” market is growing exponentially. Aside from the indie producers who are making the really good stuff, a lot of larger porn studios have run out of gonzo ideas and decided to try for the “chick market” – with mixed results.
That said, it’s always good to see someone bringing their own perspective and ideas to the genre. I haven’t seen the film but it looks very appealing.
