Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
A play by the former editor of Playgirl has just finished its run at the Kraine theatre in New York. Dirty Girl is the story of: Dori Richter, a nice Jewish girl from Long Island whose life changes when she answers an ad in the newspaper seeking a ‘writer/editor who must be comfortable with male nudity’. Dirty Girl takes audiences from the offices of the fictional ‘Loverboy’ magazine to steamy Read More …
A book about teenage sexuality is causing a bit of a stir here in Australia. The Sex Lives of Australian Teenagers by Joan Sauers has prompted the usual hysterical rants from conservative politicians. The author conducted a random survey of 300 teen boys and girls, asking questions about masturbation, oral sex, contraception and porn. The best summary of the book appears in this article at the Bulletin. A few interesting Read More …
OK, so a month ago I posted about not knowing what to do with Myspace. I think I’ve got it worked out. I found a way to make the page look nice (without it being too unreadable), I’ve sat down and listed my favourite movies, TV shows and books, and I’m now on a search for friends. This last thing is a fraught business. Right now I’ve got 10 friends. Read More …
I need to make up an award, I think. It should be called the Women’s Gratitude Award for the Actor Who Works Hardest To Get His Kit Off In Films. And naturally it should be awarded to Ewan McGregor. In the past, Ewan has worked tirelessly throughout his entire career to ensure that he appears nude at some point in his films. It’s been something of a mission for him: Read More …
So, about six months ago I thought I’d better check out this MySpace thing. I created a Ms Naughty profile, added a pic, a quick intro and a couple of links. And then I ignored it. The fact is, I have absolutely no idea what happens next. I’m not really sure of the point of MySpace. I can see that it’s a way for people without HTML skills to have Read More …
I feel the need to say this to the world: I am a woman, and I don’t shop. Shopping is not a fun activity for me, and it certainly doesn’t define who I am. Shopping is an unfortunate necessity that often leaves me feeling frustrated, exhausted and – if it’s clothes shopping – with low self esteem. Ditto with shoes. I don’t find high-heeled shoes appealing. I can’t wear them. Read More …
I’ve just read a news story about how circumcision halves the risk of contracting AIDS. I’ve heard this theory before, having recently written an article about circumcision for For The Girls. Good news, I thought. And then the juvenile sniggering started, thanks to this quote: “It’s not a magic bullet, but a potentially important intervention,” agreed Dr Kevin De Cock, of the World Health Organisation. That’s right folks. The director Read More …
A poll of 4000 women by condom maker Durex has seen James Bond star Daniel Craig named as the sexiest man alive. Apparently it was all that wet, shirtless stuff in the new Bond film that did the job. I haven’t seen it because 007 films aren’t my thing, but I could be persuaded to check it out simply to see what all the fuss is about. Certainly those promo Read More …
Apparently David Beckham isn’t too pleased about appearing in a gay nude calendar, if in name only. Celebrity Hunks Around The House, a naked celebrity lookalike calendar, features the soccer star, along with several other celeb pretenders including guys aspiring to be Brad Pitt and Prince William. Gay.com takes offence not at the celeb reference, but to the standard of the models in said calendar. The Celebrity Hunks Around the Read More …
I’ve long admired the film Bound. It’s a great thriller, but it’s also got the hottest lesbian sex scene ever filmed (at least, in a mainstream film). The reason the scene – and the lesbian characters – was so good was thanks to Susie Bright. She’s written a long and detailed blog post about how she came to be the technical expert on the Wachowski brother’s first film. It’s well Read More …
OK. In theory I’m back at work. Physically, I’m at my trusty PC, knuckling down and getting back into the porny swing of things. But really, I just couldn’t be arsed right now. I’ve had a lovely three weeks without having to think about sex – unless I was having it. I can’t tell you how really pleasant that was. I’m seriously unmotivated and feeling the urge to just run Read More …
I’ve mentioned before that I belly dance. We’ve got a big concert coming up and I’m busy sewing and practising. Today I found out that sword dancing doesn’t have any folkloric history. It’s actually a modern invention, inspired by the 19th century paintings of Jean-Léon Gérôme, this one in particular. Curious, I went looking through the wonderful pics in this gallery and found numerous sensual pics. Seems the guy was Read More …
I’m reading 1984 by George Orwell. It’s been on my “to read” list for a long time and I’ve finally knuckled down and done it. It’s wonderful. I feel like going into every bookstore and telling them to promote it on their front counters. More people need to read this novel. I was struck by these three paragraphs, because they introduce the idea of state-controlled pornography, used to keep the Read More …
We don’t really have Halloween in Australia, something I’m kind of pleased about because it means there are no obnoxious children knocking on my door demanding lollies. What I do like about Halloween is how a lot of porn sites create special Halloween-themed galleries. Like Trixie’s Houseboy which has made this page with Tucker dressed as a 50’s bad boy. The pic above is from Barely Evil, a rather spectacular Read More …
