Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Great news. Petra Joy’s third film, Feeling It, is due for release in March 2008. The film also has a website which features some wonderful still photos from the movie and information about the stars. There are some hot new amateur performers involved who were recruited from Europe during Petra’s travels. A few excerpts from the site: Petra’s motto “Feeling it, not faking it!” is being embraced passionately by the Read More …
The AVN awards for 2008 have been announced and, disappointingly, Candida Royalle’s Afrodite Superstar only received one award, for Best Music, despite receiving a large number of nominations. It’s a real shame that so few other female-friendly films got up, especially considering the huge number of movies that were nominated this year – I made a full list here. Instead, awards went to such quality productions as Face Full of Read More …
I’ve spent most of today updating Porn Movies For Women. There were a lot of new movies to add and I’m still writing up some reviews. But I thought I’d do a post on Ms Naughty about some of the female friendly adult films that have recently been released. The Personal Touch Series: Playgirl sex educator Jamye Waxman has moved into making adult films and has created an instructional series Read More …
While I was away enjoying life a small debate erupted about porn, facials, blowjobs and feminism. It started because Petra Joy wrote this on her blog: A woman receiving head, a woman fucking a guy with a strap-on, a guy tasting his own cum and also to feature female ejaculation – those techniques that show a woman in control might be “feminist porn”. If you want to show cum on Read More …
In Australia, “rooting” is a euphemism for having sex. So we’ve long giggled whenever an American says “I’m rooting for ___ to win.” Now I can use it in a title… and I’m giggling. Anyway, the AVN award nominations have been announced and it’s another year of the same ol’ same ol’. Even the “alternative” category is laced with productions by big name companies like Penthouse and Playboy and is Read More …
This month I reviewed Tristan Taormino’s film Chemistry for For The Girls. We’re also featuring an interview with Tristan in our next update which is well worth checking out. Tristan is a sex-positive feminist film maker who I’ve long admired. If you haven’t heard of her before, visit her site Pucker Up. The idea behind Chemistry is to put 7 porn stars in a house for 36 hours and then Read More …
I’ve said it before: I’m a huge fan of Petra Joy’s and I recently reviewed her debut film Sexual Sush for For The Girls. Just like Female Fantasies, I thoroughly recommend this movie. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been waiting for – a real female perspective and a focus on female pleasure. Top stuff. An excerpt from my review: I watched Sexual Sushi expecting more female-friendly porny goodness, Read More …
Erika Lust’s film Five Hot Stories For Her was awarded best film for women at the Venus Eline Awards in Berlin last week. The other nominees were Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies and Renee Pornero’s film Viennese. On her blog Petra said that this was the first time an adult awards ceremony has acknowledged porn films made for women (if we don’t count the Good For Her Feminist Film Awards). So Read More …
Congratulations to Petra Joy. Her film Female Fantasies has won Best Soft Film at the Barcelona Erotic Film Festival (site is a bit out of date). I’m not sure it deserves the moniker “soft” because the film is certainly hardcore in places. Perhaps the definitions have shifted somewhat and “hardcore” can only mean DPs and rough sex or something like that. Anyway, Petra’s blog has a great post about it Read More …
I recently reviewed Playgirl’s Addicted To Niko for For The Girls. On the whole it wasn’t bad, I guess, although I did get fairly bored after the first two scenes. Niko makes for beautiful eye candy but his acting isn’t so great. I guess you can’t expect too much of a beefy male stripper. At the same time, everything looks very pretty and the production values are spectacular. Here’s some Read More …
The Sun breathlessly reports that Italian actress Asia Argento wants to make porn for women. Asia, famed for her steamy roles in movies such as xXx, says: “I wanted to make a porn remake of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and take it to the next level. “One day I would like to make a movie about sex, especially for women because women’s sexuality is still a huge taboo.” I must Read More …
Playgirl has brought out another two titles in the last couple of months. Addicted to Niko is the newest one. The official blurb says: “With his chiseled abs, his piercing eyes, and his massive personality, Niko has taken the world of erotic fantasies to his own new and unique level. Now explore Niko in all his glory!” Massive personality? Er, OK. I do know that I thought Niko was spectacularly Read More …
Scarlet Magazine is conducting an inaugural awards night aimed at celebrating quality adult products and movies. Petra’s Female Fantasies has been nominated for Best Adult Film. There’s a number of other titles listed that I need to check out. I haven’t heard of Film Erotica before, need to watch their trailer. I posted about JoyBear Pictures a while ago, they have a new release. Lie With Me by Clement Virgo Read More …
My new favorite filmmaker Petra Joy is currently working on her third film, a follow up to Female Fantasies, which I raved about in this post. She’s also started a blog detailing her adventures in filmmaking which makes for fascinating reading. Aside from updates on filming and editing, she’s given us an insight into how difficult it is for indie producers to get their product onto the shelves. She reveals Read More …
I’ve been meaning to watch Petra Joy’s Female Fantasies for months now and I finally got around to seeing it today. And by God, it’s good. I’ve just been blown away by this movie, and now I’m raving about it to anyone who’ll listen. I’ve finally found a real, honest-to-goodness porn movie that really is for straight women. One that ticks all the boxes when it comes to depicting female Read More …
