Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
The Erotic Review is hosting an erotic photo competition, starting 22nd October. Boasting a top prize of £1,000, the Erotic Photographer of the Year Prize is organised by The Erotic Review, a publication that claims the erotic image has become a ‘victim of its own success’. A spokesperson explained that the internet has eroded many of the traditional ways for photographers to show off their work, citing falling demand for Read More …
If you ask me to name my most favourite film in the world, I’ll give you two (I can never decide on a final winner). One is The Life Of Brian, the funniest movie ever. The other is Blade Runner. So naturally I was over the moon to hear that Ridley Scott has released a final cut of the film at the Venice Film Festival. On top of that, there’s Read More …
The Sun breathlessly reports that Italian actress Asia Argento wants to make porn for women. Asia, famed for her steamy roles in movies such as xXx, says: “I wanted to make a porn remake of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and take it to the next level. “One day I would like to make a movie about sex, especially for women because women’s sexuality is still a huge taboo.” I must Read More …
When it comes to porn on the internet, the ratios go something like this*: 99.9% of it is produced for men (gay or straight), about 0.95% of it is for straight women and the remaining 0.05% is aimed at a lesbian audience. Up until now there’s only been one full paysite made explicitly for dykes. That’s now changed. Shine Louise Houston, the woman behind indie film company Pink and White Read More …
Playgirl has brought out another two titles in the last couple of months. Addicted to Niko is the newest one. The official blurb says: “With his chiseled abs, his piercing eyes, and his massive personality, Niko has taken the world of erotic fantasies to his own new and unique level. Now explore Niko in all his glory!” Massive personality? Er, OK. I do know that I thought Niko was spectacularly Read More …
You know, I’m glad I’m a girl. This whole Larry Craig gay foot tapping incident has no doubt got plenty of men feeling even more nervous about what they do in public toilets. A couple of months ago I wrote a column in For The Girls about Secret Men’s Business – the rather extensive etiquette straight men use when going to the bathroom. Here’s a snippet: 1. If you’re at Read More …

There’s a number of other titles listed that I need to check out. I haven’t heard of Film Erotica before, need to watch their trailer.

My new favorite filmmaker Petra Joy is currently working on her third film, a follow up to Female Fantasies, which I raved about in this post. She’s also started a blog detailing her adventures in filmmaking which makes for fascinating reading. Aside from updates on filming and editing, she’s given us an insight into how difficult it is for indie producers to get their product onto the shelves. She reveals Read More …

Justin Morley, brother of cofounder Simon, manages the private show side of the business.”We’d like to get six extra guys on our books that we can train to do this stuff.

We have new neighbours across the road and, because we didn’t hide quickly enough, they invited us over for a coffee. Now, when you’re a pornographer working from home in a nice, quiet, suburban neighbourhood, you do your best to stay on the good side of the neighbours and not attract attention. I’m also freakishly antisocial and try not to talk to any of them, just because it’s easier that Read More …
Spent the evening out watching the total lunar eclipse and taking photos. The lens didn’t cope with the moon as well as we’d liked but we got a few time lapse pics, like the one above. Naturally, as we guzzled our wine, we started to make a list of “moon” songs that should be playing on the stereo. We came up with: 1. Total Eclipse of the Heart 2. Moonlight Read More …
Three cheers for 16 year old Tom Wood who, in half an hour, proved that the new Australian government-approved porn filter isn’t worth the smear on an IT expert’s underpants. He’s shown that spending $84 million on compulsory net filtering software is a complete waste of money because teenagers know how to get around that kind of thing. If they want to look at porn, they will. But what I’m Read More …
Some news stories today dealing with women, porn, vibrators and sex: * Picking up good vibrations in the Melbourne Age discusses the increasing respectability of sex toys and adult material. “From a feminist point of view, the industry has been dominated by men for so long,” says Judith Glover. “Dildos were all about dick and balls, and that’s just so unimaginative. It’s like saying, ‘That’s all you sheilas get.’ But Read More …
Good For Her’s Chanelle Gallant has been interviewed about women and porn in the Toronto Sun. Most of the article focuses on the idea that porn can be a problem in relationships however the bottom half looks at the idea that chicks like porn too. “Sex on film is not anti-feminist,” she now says. “I think that’s total bull.” Chanelle is of course the organiser of the Feminist Porn Awards, Read More …
