Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Quite a while ago I got a little peeved at the whole “Steak and a Blowjob Day” idea. The men behind it reckoned Valentine’s Day was all about women forcing men to buy them gifts and dinner. The whole thing relies on tiresome stereotypes about men and women. So while I could have sat down and written extensive blog posts unpacking the philosophy, I thought, fuck it. Instead I’ll just Read More …
I thought I’d have fun today and thus made a little promo video for For The Girls, messing with the idea of “what women want” – the men doing housework, the bridal stroll along the beach, the romance novels… I have to say, it took a lot longer than I expected because I had to only use sexy videos that weren’t remotely explicit, while still giving the idea of sex. Read More …
I’m still very busy with editing the new member’s area of For The Girls. The articles are almost completed and we’re due to move on to the galleries and movies. It’s getting there, slowly but surely. And as you can see, the blog is a little neglected. So here’s a naked man to tide you over: Sun Stroke: Michal gets nude and masturbates outdoors. He’s got quite the six pack Read More …
I’m looking forward to an upcoming TV series about Cleo – the Australian women’s magazine that featured male centerfolds (only a few months after Cosmo had pioneered it with Burt Reynolds). If you follow the blog you’ll have already seen the image of actor Jack Thompson nude in the first ever Cleo male centerfold. The TV series features a scene showing how Jack’s legendary “Venus” photo was shot. Cleo was Read More …
Wendy Bacon was a campaigner against Australian censorship in the 1960s and 70s. In this amazing article, she details the fight of students against censorship in those heady libertarian days. This was a time when the Minister for Customs justified bans on books by saying “normal healthy Australians would not be interested in the works of DH Lawrence and Henry Miller anyway.” Wendy and her friends conducted civil disobedience activities Read More …
I’ve just finished hand-editing every single piece of erotic fiction at For The Girls. It was a huge job, manually going through eight years of content, looking at every single story (400+) on the site, fixing the text and photos and then adding categories and tags to each one. I’ve re-read every one of our erotic stories and there’s just so many brilliant pieces of writing. I’ve been immersed in Read More …
ROOM 33 – Director’s cut from Erika Lust on Vimeo. Erika Lust has released the more explicit director’s cut of her short film “Room 33”. It features some yummy boy-boy-girl sexytimes. Enjoy.
I’m feeling a little snowed under at the moment. I suspect that the blog is going to be a little neglected for the next few weeks. Here’s why: We are going to have to build the new member’s area of For The Girls from the ground up. In November 2009 when we hired the first company to do this, we hoped we could automate the build. We asked them to Read More …
GPS – 60 seconds long, so very worth watching. It’s like the perfect short film. This is from an as-yet unmade comedy series called Angry Pinatas. Another 60 seconds, a HUGE laugh. Share it if you can, I want to see this series on our TV!
I just realised that I haven’t actually blogged about the news: my short film Fucking Is The Only Prayer has been nominated for a 2011 Feminist Porn Award. I’m rather chuffed. I suspect it won’t win as it’s only short and there isn’t a short film category. But it’s nice to be listed. I submitted For The Girls to be considered for a website award but it didn’t make the Read More …
The Guardian likes to attract clicks by including articles about porn but often the articles are negative in tone and rely on the arguments of anti-porn feminists like Gail Dines. Thankfully they’ve taken a step in the right direction by offering a story on porn for women and including comments by Erika Lust, Anna Span and Petra Joy. Aside from talking about women’s porn like it’s a new thing, the Read More …
Fairy tales, while seemingly innocent, are often rife with sexual imagery and metaphors. The big bad wolf could easily be seen as the corrupter of Little Red Riding Hood’s virginity, for example. For many of us, the fairy tales of our youth may be entangled with our first glimpses of the erotic. For girls, the promise of Prince Charming often lead to speculation about the details of the wedding night. Read More …
Rob, our sexy centerfold at For The Girls, was a good sport. We took some lovely photos of him reclining on a muppet-fur rug (these pics will appear in an upcoming update at FTG). Looking through them I developed the urge to do a bit of photoshopping. Thus, here he is in a similar pose to the classic Burt Reynolds centerfold photo from Cosmopolitan 1972. He’s not as hairy as Read More …
Here’s a fun fact for you to bring up next time you’re inebriated and want to raise a strange topic at a dinner party: men don’t have penis spines. That is to say, the penises of human males differ from our nearest genetic relatives, the chimpanzees, because there are no “tactile” spines or barbs on the end that induce female ovulation and clear out the sperm of other males. Chimps Read More …
Room 33 Erika Lust from boolab on Vimeo. Here is Room 33, a new sexy movie by Erika Lust (as written about in this post from a few days ago). It just looks luscious. And what I really admire is the way Erika can tell her story with minimal dialogue or none at all; she’s really good at getting ideas and emotions across through framing, editing and good acting. That’s Read More …
