Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Writer India Knight has edited a book called Dirty Bits For Girls. The book is an anthology of those well-thumbed naughty bits cherished by an older generation of women, back when information about sex was a lot harder to find. India’s article on her book appears in the Times Online. Seems that 80s power novels and bodice-ripping romances were highly prized for stirring the erotic imagination. It’s one of those Read More …
A story on Ananova cites a UK survey which claims men think breast implants are a turn-off. A poll of 1600 men by More Magazine found that 85% of men aged 18 to 34 said that they hated plastic surgery. A further 15% said they never noticed fake boobs. More is a magazine for women aged over 40. Now I’m wondering who it is that actually LIKES fake tits. Maybe Read More …
I’ve long been a fan of the film Threesome starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin and Josh Charles. I sometimes think that if that movie had featured explicit sex, it may have been a perfect porn film. Threesome is about one female and two male college students living together in one dorm due to an administrative mix-up. They become friends, but the also find themselves in a love triangle. Alex Read More …
I hate rugby league. It’s a celebration of macho boofheaded thuggery disguised as sport and the blokes involved don’t really rate on the intelligence scale that much. Still, it’s nice when they take their clothes off for charity. 13 men from various clubs have volunteered to pose nude for a calendar that will raise money for breast cancer research. Apparently some of the photos are so risque the official league Read More …
I haven’t got a lot of work done this morning because I watched the Steve Irwin memorial. Despite my best cynical efforts, I was laughing and tearing up at all the appointed moments. I’ve also been treated to the amusing spectacle of the Blue Wiggle trying not to laugh or shit himself while holding a crocodile and reading the autocue. This is our second televised celebrity funeral in as many Read More …
So I was going to write up a fascinating and extremely readable blog post today and instead I got stuck looking at Worth 1000. Hours went by. Work came to a standstill. I mean, look at this: How they really make M&Ms. Or the Mate a Movie section, featuring such cool movies as A Bug’s Life Of Brian and James Bond and the Giant Peach? How the hell is anyone Read More …
The commercial media in this country shits me, it really does. Poor old Steve Irwin is dead, killed by a stingray. It’s sad, but somehow not surprising that he should die young at the hands of a wild animal. Everyone I know says pretty much the same thing: “Yeah, I thought a snake would get him. He was a bit of a nong, wasn’t he? But he was so enthusiastic Read More …
Thanks to CAKE, I’ve now seen the uncensored trailer for Shortbus, and it’s quite the ride. I feel the need to embed the video in my own blog. Quite the promo piece. Vibrators, orgies, masturbation, flogging, autofellatio and one helluva strange sexual position that could well be called “the helicopter.” Apparently Shortbus is about one woman’s search for an orgasm. She can’t have them at the beginning, and does her Read More …
Ah, the humble pair of Speedos, source of much mirth to many – and quite a few sexual fantasies to boot. Thanks to this article, I now know that there’s an entire documentary devoted to the Speedo called Packed Lunch. And I know that male Speedo briefs were invented in Sydney in 1960. Gay designer Peter Travis was commissioned by Speedo to produce a range of men’s swimwear and he Read More …
Sydney Sexpo is on again and this year they’re featuring a number of penis-based amusements. Pricasso (real name Tim Patch) paints portraits using his penis as a brush, while Justin Morley (Simon’s Brother) is on stage doing dick tricks from Puppetry of the Penis. Apparently Pricasso failed to get into a fine arts course so he took up furniture design instead. He says he’s the only penile artist in the Read More …
The Mirror has published a poll of 2000 Brits, revealing a list of the 100 most annoying things. James Blunt came in at number 4, well ahead of stepping in dog poo. Inspired by such a tetchy, “grumpy old women” list, I thought I’d do something similar. Thus, here it is, the 30 most annoying things about porn – as voted by me… and a couple of other people: 1. Read More …
I have never read Lady Chatterley’s Lover by DH Lawrence, although I feel it’s something I really ought to do. It is still considered to be THE sex book within the high-falutin’ canon of English literature, and one that has caused much frowning and tut-tutting amongst those whose only wish is to save our immortal souls. So as a purveyor of high-quality smut, I really should do my background research. Read More …
I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest today. And, naturally, I concur with almost every other female blogger on the planet: Johnny Depp is extraordinarily shagable as Captain Jack Sparrow. Is it the dreadlocks? The bandanna? The twin beard? The slightly sozzled air? I suspect it’s the heavy eyeliner, which not only highlights his rather nice eyes, but suggests a certain gothic, romantic sensibility. The Cunting Linguist asks: Read More …
OK, lower your voice into the hushed tones reserved for foolish gossip. The National Ledger says that In Touch Weekly says that an insider says that Superman Returns’ Brandon Routh has been offered US$500,000 to get nude for Playgirl. Naturally Brandon has neither confirmed or denied the report, possibly because it’s the first he’s heard of it. Of course, the insider thinks it’s because he’s from the Midwest and “not Read More …
The “Vagina Lady”, Eve Ensler, has launched the latest aspect of her “vagina franchise”, an arts festival focusing on violence against women. The New York Times has an interview and article here. Now, I respect Ms Ensler for almost everything that she has done. She works hard for her charity and her play, The Vagina Monologues, has brought the issue of women’s body image into the spotlight. What frustrates me, Read More …
