Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
The Sunday Mail reports on new research into the sexuality of women over 40. It found that women were far more likely to reach orgasm when masturbating alone than with their partner. 55% of women with no partner could achieve orgasm every time alone, compared to 24.6% with a partner. The study, called “What does sexuality mean to older women?” looked at 500 older women and measured their changes over Read More …
Cnet news has an article on the push to make sexual video games more female-friendly. They’re essentially saying that current games suit straight males, especially because they’re about having instantaneous sex. Apparently women want to take things a bit slower. The article has two particularly appealing bits. One is this rather garbled yet amusing quote: “I want to be me when I’m in (an adult game),” Heather Rothwell, a writer Read More …
It’s International Women’s Day. I thought the best way to celebrate it at this blog was to whack up a photo of a naked man. See, feminism IS fun. Actually, I found this bit of information on the IWD site quite interesting: Many women’s groups around the world who understand, respect and chose to honour the history and progress made by the suffragettes use purple as their predominant representative colour.

Women’s online adult store Libida has released some of the comments made when they asked their female customers what they wanted to see in porn. A few examples: “Make the actors believable. I can’t relate to porno stars, can’t relate to silicone makeovers. But I can relate to a nice looking girl and guy, even if he’s a little bald and she’s a little overweight. It makes the story more Read More …
Joy of joys, I went to my PO Box and found a copy of Audacia Ray’s new film The Bi Apple. It’s officially released today but I was lucky enough to secure a review copy. I’m really looking forward to seeing it. The film is about a sex researcher who goes to New York to study bi guys… and naturally she ends up shagging half the city before the film Read More …
The February edition of AVN has a cover story entitled What Do Women Watch? I’ve only just managed to read it now because their link to the story was broken until yesterday. Typically, the article focuses solely on the movie/DVD side of the business, but it does work to cover a lot of bases. They interviewed Tristan Taormino and Susie Bright to find official answers to the “what do women Read More …
My god, I’ve got a big hangover today. AND I’m in the process of making the Ms Naughty linklist into a newer, shinier version of the one that exists today. I’ve started by brightening up the colours so it matches the blog. Nicer, I think. And there’s more to come. Here’s hoping that it all works and turns out nicely. If you see errors or weird things happening in the Read More …
German adult mega-retailer Beate Uhse is apparently not doing so well. According to this report, it’s about to close all of it’s adult shops aimed at women, and two-thirds of it’s mainstream stores did not perform well in 2006. The company will close the last of its Mae B. shops as their leases run out. The Beate Uhse offshoot, geared towards the female market and featuring brightly lit stores with Read More …
The first release from Candida Royalle’s new Femme Chocolat line of erotic films is Afrodite Superstar, which looks due for release sometime in April. The film stars newcomer Simone Valentine and was directed by Venus Hottentot. The producer is Natasha Cortes. I think Candida’s role was as executive producer on this film. The official blurb says: Afrodite Superstar is a seductive, romantic comedy about Afrodite, a naive debutant who makes Read More …
Another day, another survey about teenagers viewing porn. This one is from the University of Alberta and it looks at 13 and 14 year olds from rural areas. Surprise, surprise, one third of boys that age have seen porn. I always look to see what the percentage of females is in these surveys, just as a comparison, and also as an indicator of changing perceptions towards porn among young people. Read More …
I’ve posted about the Eros Association and AdultShop.com challenging the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification before, here, here and here. Now AdultShop is taking their Viva Erotica fight to the federal court, asking that adult films depicting non-violent consensual sex be given an R rating, meaning they can be legally sold everywhere. The CEO has pointed out that community standards had changed since 1984, when they were first Read More …
Not sure how I missed this one. In Texas, police arrested a group of 8 Chippendales dancers for gyrating sexually. With their pants on. They’ve now been let off. Last Friday eight Chippendale dancers and three show and club promoters were arrested making national headlines. According to police, the arrested dancers “sexually stimulated and sexually gratified” female audience members during their show at Jake`s Sports Café, which violates the city`s Read More …
As a kid growing up, the only TV I was allowed to watch on weeknights was at 6pm on the ABC (something many Australian 30-somethings will appreciate). This usually encompassed The Goodies and Doctor Who but it also included the Kenny Everett Video Show. This 6pm ritual is partly responsible for my sense of humour, but I think it also played a hand in what I think is sexy. And Read More …
I’m really pleased to discover the Strictly Broadband, the UK-based video-on-demand company, is now offering Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies. This means you can download the movie onto your PC and you have 7 days to watch it. The cost is around US$15. This is much cheaper and easier than attempting to buy the DVD from European-based adult stores. Female Fantasies is the latest film from Strawberry Seductress, Petra Joy, a Read More …
Playgirl has another film out, just like clockwork. This one is called Body Worship. “There are some desires so monumental, you must give in. You must obey. Fall to your knees, raise your voice. Give yourself over. You have no choice.” The blurbs for these films are getting increasingly vague. I mean, what the hell is that about, really? The film’s stars look fairly familiar. Fans of Jean Val Jean Read More …
