Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Our latest update at For The Girls features an exclusive interview with Spanish erotic filmmaker Erika Lust. I reviewed her film Life Love Lust last week and absolutely adored it. Its three stories are engaging, well executed and very sexy. One of the more impressive things about this movie is the stunning cinematography. Erika says she shot it in high definition on a Canon 7D. This is the camera that Read More …
Chas from The Chaser decides to road test some of your classic porn cliches – the plumber, the pizza boy, the pool cleaner. Good fun.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you… Fanta Pants.” – Marieke Hardy It’s been a bit of a whirlwind 24 hours. I’ve got no work done at all because I’ve been glued to Twitter, news sites and the TV as the Australian political landscape shifted before my eyes. Australia now has its first female prime minister, Julia Gillard. She was not directly elected to this role; rather, she’s now in the Read More …
I might be a little late with this – Ellen and John Stewart have already had a good laugh about this ad. But I might as well post it. It’s PUMPED full of very muscly guys who look like they’re, well, you know. It’s kind of erotic, actually. I have my doubts about the science behind this. Rapid movement like that looks like it might cause RSI but not actually Read More …
There’s a part of me that’s still rather stunned that in 2010, people are conducting research into whether “the vaginal orgasm” exists. Because for a while now, I’ve held the opinion that the concept of the vaginal orgasm is nonsense, and not just because of that lovely 1970 feminist essay The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm. For me, the idea was put to bed in 1999 when Dr. Helen O’Connell Read More …
I remember when I stopped reading Cosmopolitan in my first year of university. It was one of the best things I ever did. The endless fashion, diets and super-skinny models always left me feeling bad about myself so I decided that it would be best if I just disengaged from that aspect of “women’s culture.” It’s 20 years on and Cosmo hasn’t changed. Still, it’s a hugely popular magazine that Read More …
This is an ad for a perfume called “Vulva” which is apparently “the intimate scent of a beautiful woman” that a company has bottled “for your own smelling pleasure.” That’s right folks, these people are selling pussy smell in a jar. I have no idea what it smells like but they’re obviously keen to shift units via viral marketing. What to make of the above ad? It’s a bit like Read More …
Violet Blue has announced the winners of her video contest at Our Porn Ourselves. Lexi Love’s discussion of porn in Times Square came first and the Ursulaorelse’s video (above), which I really like, came second. Ursula’s movie is short, sweet and does an excellent job of getting the message across. For The Girls was a sponsor of the contest. It’s great to see so many women come out in support Read More …
Today we’re launching the official For The Girls 7th birthday contest – The Female Gaze Erotic Film Competition. The idea is to encourage representation of female perspectives in erotic film. We’re looking for short film submissions, under 10 minutes, that are erotic and embody the female gaze – a woman’s perspective of sex and sexuality. It doesn’t have to be explicit, although that’s always nice. It does have to include Read More …
I need to say something. Something that’s pretty obvious really: I’m a capitalist. I make porn to make money. It’s how I earn my living. And it seems that some would argue that because I’m trying to make a profit from porn, this immediately means that anything I have to say on the topic of censorship or feminist porn is therefore tainted or hasn’t any weight. I got this aggravation Read More …
History Eraser Buttonemski* [AVS/MFL] | MySpace Video Fresh from saving us all from “spams and scams coming through the portal“, Minister for Communications Senator Conroy has come up with another brilliant idea to save the kiddies from all the horrors of the internet. A nice shiny red browser button. Based on the Adobe Air platform, the security device, notionally referred to as a “big red button” will either occupy the Read More …
I’ve written a guest post for Good Vibrations magazine. It’s called What Oprah Didn’t Tell You About Porn For Women. I wanted to give a back-to-basics rundown of what I think are the main points about porn for women and what it encompasses. One of the things I wanted to point out is the ongoing blind spot the media has when it comes to websites. The Oprah show happily quoted Read More …
Can you believe it, it’s my 6th Blogaversary! Actually, I’m a day late, I forgot! Anyway, I wrote my first blog post in the old format blog on June 7th, 2004. I’m now on my 2nd script and third design. Added to that, it’s For The Girls’ 7th birthday in June. I can’t believe how quickly that time went. I have to admit, I really didn’t think our little site Read More …
