Wade past the make-up advertising, “fashionista” blog and frighteningly large handbag photos and you’ll find this article in the sex section of Marie Claire.
Following their February survey that found that 17% of their readers were into porn, the mag decided to compile a list of what they called “reputedly female friendly sites.”
The list has quite a few worthy entries like Retro Raunch, I Feel Myself and Hot Movies for Her and they even include Kink.com, although they give it five stars which means “Scary, And Not In A Good Way” according to their scale.

Aside from Hot Movies there are no sites that are specifically aimed at straight women, and I think it’s a shame. There’s nothing wrong with the sites suggested, as I would agree that most are female friendly, but I can’t help but think it’s not a complete list.
Actually, the truth is that I feel ignored, dammit. Seven years I’ve been doing this, and four of them have been with For The Girls. Why don’t we get a mention? Are journalists simply unable to type “porn for women” into Google? Or is it that thing where people get snooty and decide we’re too commercial, or too “stereotypical”, or simply not hip enough?
But it’s not just FTG. Where are the links to Cyber Dyke? Or Sssh? Or Kara’s Links?
It’s the same thing when I hear people say “There’s no porn for women.” How do they come to this conclusion? Why can’t they find it?
Yes, yes, this is a rant. And probably an undeserved one given we’re in the Ottowa Sun today. I should just buckle down and work harder at getting the word out, I guess.
Funnily enough, the links within the article itself are broken.
I was alerted to this article via Wired, via Jezebel.
I so hear what you’re saying hon! It’s a struggle but we have to keep plugging away! At least Gracie got some attention – she deserves it! Not that we all don’t but you know what I mean!
