Jezebel And Figleaf On Porn For Women
Damn, it’s getting hard to keep up. Today’s ranty article about the Porn for Women* book is at Jezebel. In this case the author has sent an email to all her friends asking about what porn they like. There’s a bunch of varied responses, most of which are quite cynical, but I had to laugh at this one: I always thought girl porn like Sweet Action was really icky. Like, Read More …
I Wish I’d Written That Book
You know, I’ve got to hand it to the alleged Cambridge Women’s Pornography Co-operative, authors of the book Porn for Women. Just by using that title, they’ve got the attention of a plethora of newspaper columnists, bloggers and feminists. I keep finding articles about it, frenzied discussions, outraged rants and cosy recommendations. Nice free advertising. Nice way to get to the top of Google. Nice way to make sales. There’s Read More …
Is Housework Equivalent To Porn For Women?
Rachel Kramer Bussel has an opinion piece in the Huffington Post looking at that alleged comedy book called Porn for Women and asks if “porn for women” is a legitimate concept. She also asks whether a man doing housework is stroke material. I would say yes, but only if he’s naked (in which case, the book in question doesn’t make the grade). In the past I’ve made two free sites Read More …
I Hate Being Sick

Article: Porn As Women’s Liberation
Amidst a flurry of mainstream media articles about porn recently, Press Telegram has a piece about the growing influence of women in the adult industry. The article interviews Jamye Waxman and Candida Royalle as well as Anne Semans from Babeland. Unfortunately the story is short on statistics about how many women are into porn. I guess the Nielsen Netratings statistics of 28% don’t come up easily on Google. My other Read More …
Interview With Audacia Ray
Wired’s Regina Lynn has an interview with Audacia Ray about Naked on the Internet here. I liked this quote: I did an appearance on the Geraldo at Large show in March. In the interview, they asked, “And how is this dangerous?” at least six different times. That’s a question rooted in crazy technophobia that’s all put off on the internet. My response is that meeting people is dangerous. But what’s Read More …
Attack Of The Phthalates
Attack of the Phthalates. It’s a great graphic. The image is from an article questioning the Greenpeace study about phthalates in sex toys. The article is in AVN Novelty Business magazine, a journal for sex toy retailers, so I’m not sure it can be said to be unbiased. Still, if you want an alternative viewpoint to the idea that jelly sex toys are toxic, there it is. Via Shevibe. Edit… Read More …
SheVibe
I had things to do this morning. Instead, I wasted time mucking about on MySpace, doing that thing where you jump from a friend to their friend to their friends… and hitting “add to friends.” Anyway, thanks to this meandering I found an online magazine called SheVibe. This site looks gorgeous and it has some interesting erotic content and articles. I’m always pleased to see another contribution to the women’s Read More …
Monster Penis Photo
I feel somehow honour bound to include this photo in my blog today. It’s from this page at NYMag, which is discussing a new book about marketing horror movies. The photo is by Tim Palen and is called Eli Roth has the biggest dick in Hollywood. The dick in question is, of course, prosthetic, and it was created by the same effects studio that did the Narnia movie. I feel Read More …

Porn And Young Women: Double Standards Bonanza
An article by Martha Irvine of AP has popped up in newspapers everywhere in the last couple of days. The article is discussing the sexualization of popular culture, in particular the influence of porn, and it’s main focus is the behaviour of young women. Many agree that the trend has had a particularly strong influence on young women — in some cases, taking shape as an unapologetic (my italics) embracing Read More …
Feminist Porn Awards Winners 2007
Good For Her’s Feminist Porn Awards are over for another year. 350 attended the ceremony and party, which featured guests Anna Span, Simone Valentino, Peggy Comstock and Shine Louise Houston. “We came up with the idea for the Feminist Porn Awards because people don’t know they have a choice when it comes to porn,” said Chanelle Gallant, manager of Good for Her and the event’s organizer. “Yes, there’s a lot Read More …
