Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
The Toronto Star has featured an article about Candida Royalle and the new Femme Chocolat line of erotic films. The writer focuses on the efforts of the filmmakers to include more normal body types in the movie. It’s not just that AfroDite Superstar is marketed to people of colour, which makes it unique; it also features natural bodies and natural hair – rarities in the world of adult filmmaking. “The Read More …
I first discovered this film through an article at AVN, which was plugging it as a gay film, even though the director, Tina Tyler, said in the piece that she’d made it for women like herself. I know that a lot of women really enjoy looking at guys masturbating. We get plenty of requests for it at For The Girls and I know that my AVS site Masturbating Men does Read More …
Today is a “catch up” day when it comes to film releases. In January I wrote about Superfreak, the release from Pink and White productions. Their latest film, In Search of the Wild Kingdom, was released April 2. The film is chock full of authentic lesbian and gay sex. The plot is fairly simple: “an utterly clueless (and extremely straight) documentary maker invades Lesbian San Francisco in an attempt to Read More …
April 3 saw the release of Candida Royalle’s first film in the Femme Chocolat series: Afrodite Superstar. She’s touting it as “the first every sexually empowering ethnic erotic film.” Which it may very well be. There’s certainly none of the usual “phat booty” crap going on here. I received a press release yesterday about the film: Candida Royalle, known for having pioneered the concept of female-sensitive adult movies for couples, Read More …
Matt and Khym is the fourth film from sex documentary makers Comstock Films. This one features a thirty-something heterosexual couple who have been in a relationship for almost 20 years. After many years spent looking after friends and family through various crises, they now have the house to themselves, and they can’t keep their hands off each other. Like the previous films, this movie features an interview with the couple Read More …
The latest Playgirl film is out, this one is called Lessons In Love. Official blurb: Two souls meet. Two bodies collide. Two hearts uniting as one. Each individual bringing their knowledge and their desires. All that passion, all that friction. It all comes down to give and take, and something’s bound to rub off. Friction, eh? Nice looking guy on the cover. They’ve almost completely obscured the woman, which is Read More …
In December 2005 I posted about Innocent Pictures and the Puzzy Power manifesto. This European company, part of Lars Von Trier’s Zentropa Productions, have made three adult films specifically for women. All About Anna is the third film. It tells the story of a woman trying to maintain an active sex life while steering clear of relationships. Naturally this leads to numerous explicit sex scenes. According to the blurb on Read More …
I should have blogged about this ages ago, but I was… er… washing my hair. Anyway, first-time director Becky Goldberg has created a documentary called Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography. The film looks at the emerging genre of female-friendly, feminist porn and features interviews with Nina Hartley, Tristan Taormino, Veronica Hart, Jackie Strano and Shar Rednour from SIR Video (quality dyke porn) and Greta Christina from women’s adult store Blowfish. Read More …
The Guardian reports that the regional government of Catalan in Spain will provide funding for three adult films because they will help to spread the Catalan language. The grants of £10,000 to a local film-maker are for what he described as women-friendly erotic films called Laura is Not Alone, The Memory of Fish and The Sea Isn’t Blue. The actors embark on numerous sexual adventures, including those of a “religious, Read More …
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 …
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 …
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 …
