Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Sheesh. I’m shaking my head at this EW article: Is Wolverine the most homoerotic movie ever? The writer declares the whole movie to be GAY GAY GAY because Hugh Jackman takes his shirt off and there’s a naked fight scene. Because male flesh can only ever be shown in a gay context and it’s not like there’d be any chicks in the audience of an action movie, right? Thankfully a Read More …
This month’s feature article at For The Girls is “10 Celebrity Men We Want To See Naked.” I went through my photo archives and thought I’d post these guys.
Do you remember your first introduction to sex education? I found myself pondering this as I read about the new documentary The Joy Of Sex Education. The doco looks at the history of sex ed films, from the earliest “look out for VD” propaganda from WW1 to the hippy-influenced fun of the 70s through to today. It occurred to me that there was never a moment in my life where Read More …
Last night I watched the BBC’s impressive adaption of John Cleland’s famous dirty novel, Fanny Hill. The film was written by Andrew Davies, the genius who had us all swooning over Mr Darcy in a wet shirt in Pride and Prejudice, so naturally, it made for a very entertaining and amusing hour and a half. Nonetheless, the experience was also rather disconcerting. The BBC’s costume dramas usually inhabit stuffier, more Read More …
So a survey has revealed that 46% of women would rather give up sex than their internet connection. The U.S. survey, which queried 2,119 adults last month, found that the gap grew even wider for both men and woman who were 18 to 34 years old. For woman, the percentage of those willing to skip the sheets in favor of the Web rose to 49 percent, while it climbed to Read More …
Here’s a nice pic for Friday just to make things feel a bit huggy around here. A few links and news to blog about. Pinup Bettie Page has passed away. RIP Bettie. Lynn Barber has an excellent piece on sex for women back in the 60s. It’s one of those timely reminders of what feminism did for women and why we shouldn’t ever forget how things used to be. After Read More …
That’s it. I’ve got a new ambition and it involves a lot of 80s gym clothing. The Real Hot Bitches is a dance troupe formed in New Zealand. They’re a group of women (and some men) with a fantastic sense of humour who get together and perform very kitch dance routines to 80s songs. The costume of choice is bright lycra leotards, leg warmers and big hair. They’re reliving the Read More …
On Monday, the theme of the Oprah Winfrey show was “237 Reasons To Have Sex”. One segment on it was a relatively lengthy discussion of the usefulness of porn in spicing up a sex life. They also discussed the fact that women like porn and that – apparently – “in the $12 billion adult entertainment industry, $1 out of every $4 is spent by a woman.” And Dr. Schwartz agrees Read More …
Well, Playgirl Magazine is finished. Writer Jamye Waxman confirmed the rumours in this blog post. She says it’s a shame because Playgirl could never quite be the intelligent sex magazine for women it wanted to be. The staff at Playgirl does get it, but what they were allowed to do with that knowledge never completely translated… both because their hands were always tied and because, well, the people who approve Read More …
It’s three days until the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony and I have to say I’m disappointed. There haven’t been the usual spate of nude Australian athlete photos. Not like 2004, when you couldn’t move for Olympian vag and peen (I blogged about it at the time). Remember The Athens Dream? Phwoar, hey? This time around they’ve all decided to be modest, which is a damn shame. And Michael Klim (above) Read More …
Since I’ve turned Francophile I went to the video shop and hired out a number of French-related films. On a whim I decided to watch Last Tango In Paris, partly to see if it had any good Parisian scenery. Yes, I am that jaded. I also got it because I wanted to watch the famed anal sex scene again, see if it was as shocking as I remembered. Bertolucci’s 1972 Read More …
Given that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are now parents, I thought I’d throw in a Google Images link to a nude photo shoot Keith did in 2001. No, he’s not totally nude, unfortunately, but it’s still a nice bit of perving. There’s numerous giggles happening because the new baby’s name is “Sunday Rose” which isn’t too much of a leap from “Sunday Roast”. And Australians find this particularly funny Read More …
I fondly remember the genuine quirkiness of the first episode of Malcolm In The Middle, mainly because of the opening scene when Malcolm’s mother Lois answers the door topless. Caroline: I’m here because I think there is a tremendous opportunity for Malcolm. Could you maybe put a top on? Lois: They’re just boobs, lady. You see ’em in the mirror every morning, and I’m sure yours are a lot nicer Read More …
Through the magic of Twitter I found myself perusing Amp Magazine and this article that has prompted me to post a quick rant. You see, the author has gone out of her way to suggest that the character of John Bender (that’s the bad boy Judd Nelson one) in the Breakfast Club was actually gay. And that none of us ever noticed it. I read it and thought… what? Surely Read More …
I sometimes muse about the way that the nude male body is hidden from public view, but the female form is considered to be public property. Apparently this is not the case in the gay community. MCV has a piece discussing the fact that advertisers targeting gay men almost always resort to using beefcake to sell their wares. Doesn’t matter what the product is, chances are it will be accompanied Read More …
