Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Following financial difficulties (which apparently nearly saw them close their doors), Good Vibrations has announced a merger deal with General Video of America and Trans World News. GVA-TWN is a huge distribution and adult products company and it looks like they stepped in with a wad of cash. It’s an interesting turnaround for what was originally a small, grassroots co-operative. I wonder if they will maintain their committment to providing Read More …
NY Time Out’s Sex Issue has heaps of great reading, including Audacia Ray’s personal discovery of double penetration and a whacky article entitled I Want To Have Sex With My Bicycle. There’s also an online photo survey about what women find sexy. In the interests of science I decided to write down the statistics, unscientific though they are. It’s interesting that I could guess the answers in most cases, although Read More …
The lovely Ell told me about a new campaign from the Eros Foundation that just may make me forgive Robbie Swan for those other stupid comments about banning porn in the NT. They’ve started the I Love Sex Campaign, setting up a handy page that allows you to send emails to politicians, defending the right to enjoy porn. It’s a response to Christian lobby groups which are engaged in their Read More …
Congratulations to Spanish filmmaker Erika Lust. Her debut adult feature Five Hot Stories For Her won Best Spanish Script at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival (more info here). The film is slowly being distributed in Europe and, according to her blog, will be released in the US in the next couple of months. I’m really looking forward to seeing it. I’m assuming it will have subtitles, but I’m not Read More …
Portfolio.com has a long article about the changing face of the porn industry, focusing particularly on YouPorn and the fact that it’s giving away free porn and not making any money, even though the owners want $20 million for it. The article has a few paragraphs about the emergence of women as consumers of porn, and in the interests of posterity I’m just going to cut and paste them (the Read More …
I’m a redhead which means I’m an endangered species, according to this article and this article. Genetic scientists warn that redheads are a dying breed; soon they will become extinct in the next 100 years. National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world’s population has the natural red hair. …Some experts warn redheads could be gone as early 2060, but others say the gene can Read More …
It’s Friday, I’m about to knock off for the week and go camping, so here’s a nice bit of naughtiness before I go. Sex on blue satin… never reaching the end… (Cue swelling Moody Blues orchestration) Pic is from this gallery from For The Girls.
Another authentic lesbian paysite has been launched. Good Dyke Porn is the creation of Canadian filmmaker Bren Ryder. Bren has already created a feature film of the same name and has now decided to make those scenes plus new ones available via a membership site. It’s also got a blog and a few freebie clips. The former is already a good read and the latter are pretty hot. It’s the Read More …
I’m re-reading one of my favorite books at the moment: Kushiel’s Dart. It’s a fantasy novel set in an alternative Renaissance Europe – one with a different history and set of religions. The cool part is that on top of all the swashbuckling adventure, intrigue and romance, there’s lashings of down-and-dirty BDSM sex. The heroine is a courtesan and an anguissette – one who experiences pain as pleasure. Thus the Read More …
Fleshbot has a clip from Violet Blue’s appearance on the Tyra Banks show. Tyra asks her if it’s possible to tell if an actress is faking an orgasm in porn. “Absolutely,” says Violet. “There are physiological signs you can look for.” “Really?” says Tyra. “Let us know because we want to fake and not have our guys know.” Yes, Tyra, that’s exactly what we want to do.
A couple of weeks ago Violet Blue wrote about her experience as a guest on the Tyra Banks show which was inspired by her O article about women and porn (Violet’s post, my thoughts on it). Despite speculation that the show wouldn’t see the light of day, it did in fact go to air on October 8th. Here’s the show recap at Tyra’s site (just in case you’re desperate to Read More …
Psychology Today reports on a study by psychologist Geoffrey Miller claiming that the fertility cycles of strippers can influence the number of tips they get. Dancers made about $70 an hour during their peak period of fertility, versus about $35 while menstruating and $50 in between. Miller links the wage fluctuations to changes in body odor, waist-to-hip ratio, and facial features… Women on the pill averaged $37 (and had no Read More …
The Guardian has a short piece about naked male wrestling in film. This has been prompted by the film Eastern Promises in which Viggo Mortensen (aka Aragorn) wrestles naked in a bathhouse with an assailant. I went looking for any advance stills from the movie but unfortunately it hasn’t made onto the web just yet. The trailer has a very brief moment featuring the fight but you can’t see anything. Read More …
I’m a bit of a sucker for costume porn. This pic is from a set that doesn’t hold back on the period clothing or sets. You’ll find more pics at the 18th Century Erotica site.
In 1946 George Orwell wrote an essay called Why I Write in which he mused about the motivations of writers. The cool thing is, they apply just as much to everyday blogging as they do to writing novels. Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose. They exist in different degrees in every writer, and Read More …
