About + Contact

Hi, I’m Ms Naughty.

I’m an Australian writer, editor, webmistress, filmmaker and blogger. I’ve been making and curating porn online since 2000. In 2017 I was named Indie Porn Icon by the Toronto International Porn Festival (formerly the Feminist Porn Awards). In October 2017 I received the PorYes European Feminist Porn Award + Audience Choice Award in Berlin.

This blog is my ongoing chronicle of the latest news, books, film releases and general debates about porn for women. If it’s got anything to do with making erotic content for straight women, I’ll write about it. I also like to feature erotic photos and videos on the site, along with anything a bit quirky or amusing.

About Me:
In my pre-porn past I used to work as a librarian and then as a freelance journalist, particularly writing for Australian Women’s Forum (AWF), a magazine that explored women’s sexuality and rejected the Cosmopolitan model of fashion and diets. I wrote for AWF from 1997 to 2001 when the magazine folded. In 2000 I wrote an article about my search for decent women’s porn online and this led me to contacts within adult webmaster industry.

Thus, in 2000, I launched my first free site Grandma Scrotum’s Sex Tips and found myself having a ball creating online adult content for women.

In June 2003 I joined forces with a fellow webmistress to create For The Girls, a major magazine-based adult paysite for straight women. Our mission was to offer porn that we ourselves would enjoy and thus filled the site with photos of naked men, hardcore couples, romantic movies and some funny male stripper videos. I also wanted to create an online version of AWF and I included a bunch of my freelance pieces and wrote a whole bunch of new articles and erotic fiction for the site.

Today the site remains a massive archive of photos, movies, stories, columns, articles, interviews and more. The fan base remains very strong and For The Girls has been an ongoing success, proving that yes, women DO like porn, thank you very much. I was not actively involved in the running of FTG from 2017-2021 but I’m back with it now.

In 2004 I created the Ms Naughty Linklist to compile good quality porn for women links. I then added the blog on 7th June 2004, upgrading it to a WordPress format in January 2006. I’ve tried to keep track of developments in the “porn for women” and feminist porn genre on my blog, as well as look at censorship and other aspects of the porn industry.

Short erotic stories by me have appeared in Best Women’s Erotica 2009 and Best Women’s Erotica 2012 (as Louise Lush), edited by Violet Blue.

In 2008 I began my career in filmmaking under the name Louise Lush and Indigo Lush Media. I directed my first short film, an erotic short called That’s What I Like. The film won the Petra Joy Award for first-time female filmmakers, screened at quite a few film festivals and was nominated for a Feminist Porn Award in 2009. Since then my films have been nominated for many Feminist Porn Awards and I’ve won a few (see list below)

My short film Dear Jiz won Best Experimental Short at Cinekink NY in 2014, the first of numerous film festival awards (see list below)

My films have screened at numerous international film festivals including the Glasgow Short Film Festival, Paris International Lesbian & Feminist Film Festival. Cinekink in New York, East Bay Briefs, Good Vibrations Quickies in San Francisco, The Sexy International Film Festival in Melbourne and the Berlin Porn Film Festival, among many others (see below).

In February 2011 I gave a presentation on the history of porn for women at the Erotic Screen and Sound conference in Brisbane. In October 2011 I wrote a piece on feminist porn for the German film magazine Schnitt. The original English version of this is at Feminist Porn Guide. An essay about my experiences making women’s porn appears in The Feminist Porn Book, edited by Tristan Taormino et al., released 2013. I gave a modified presentation of this essay at the Feminist Porn Conference in Toronto in April 2013. You’ll find a video of that presentation here. In 2014 I gave two presentations at the Feminist Porn Conference and also screened a selection of my films. In 2015 I spoke on feminist porn at the WOW Women’s Conference in Brisbane, Australia. I also have a chapter in Jiz Lee’s Coming Out Like A Porn Star (2015).

I’ve gone by several names over the course of my career. I originally went under variations of my real name (bad idea) and “Grandma Scrotum”. I began using “Ms. Naughty” with the creation of my blog in 2004. When I took up filmmaking I thought I should have a more “normal” sounding name so I created “Louise Lush”. Unfortunately I began to suffer from unsightly pseudonym buildup and things got confusing so in 2012 I decided to retire Louise Lush. More info here. Unfortunately, Google’s and Facebook’s insistence on “real names” means that I’m Louise Lush on both of those sites. Now I use both names but prefer “Ms. Naughty”. Word of advice: pick a good “real sounding” pseudonym at the start and stick with it.

In December 2012 I launched Bright Desire. This features all of my erotic videos, short films and mini documentaries, along with my erotic fiction and polemic writing. Bright Desire expands beyond the confines of the “porn for women” genre and caters to men as well as women, offering a diversity of material. The focus has been on heterosexual sex, but not exclusively and has recently feature more queer and diverse content. The site deliberately ignores the fake line between “gay” and “straight” and seeks to cater to anyone who’s interested. More than half the members are male. Since its launch the site has been incredibly successful and has exceeded my expectations for popularity. It has featured in FHM magazine, Cosmopolitan and been mentioned by the BBC. Bright Desire was named Honored Website at the 2015 Feminist Porn Awards.

In 2014 I completed my first feature film The Fantasy Project. It premiered at the Berlin Porn Film Festival in October and an excerpt showed at the Cinekink “Bring It!” showcase in February 2015.

At time of writing this update (April 2022), I’m still running Bright Desire. I haven’t been blogging as much due to time pressures with running Bright Desire, along with issues with my health. The pandemic has put a hold on filming for the moment and I’m not sure when I’ll get back to it.

The future for me remains a mix of filmmaking, writing, blogging and running my sites. And taking some time off after 22 years making porn.

Here’s a list of media mentions about either me or Bright Desire.
