Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Good porn, bad porn, new developments in the industry, gossip
Some of you may be familiar with PostSecret. It’s a community art blog where people post secrets in the form of home made postcards. This week’s list featured the above card. Funny that liking porn should be considered a shameful secret by some women. I was musing about the sentiment: “I watch more porn than all of my guy friends.” What would I write? I watch more porn than almost Read More …
Indyweek has an interview with Audacia Ray about feminist porn. They call her a “sexual blacksmith” which is a wonderful term. In fact, I really like this last paragraph: But with sexual blacksmiths like Ray on the job, forging new cultural standards for what is acceptable in women’s sexuality, the options accessible to little fourth grade chicks will be much more liberating and myriad by the time they’re ready to Read More …
Another classic from The Chaser. This one has the gorgeous Richard E. Grant saying the words “shaved minge.” I feel a need to use the phrase “shaved minge” in a conversation somewhere.
Surfing Google news I found this article at the UK’s Metro Magazine about women enjoying porn. It’s got all the usual semi-amazed discussion about the idea of women actually enjoying smut, plus a short interview with Anna Span. Nothing new there, although it has brought to my attention a new academic book by Clarissa Smith called One ForThe Girls. It’s a look at women’s experience of porn via the UK Read More …
Here’s Chas from the Chaser testing whether the classic porn cliches (Handyman, Pizza guy and Pool boy) really do turn women on. Worth watching for the mustache alone.
Damn, it’s getting hard to keep up. Today’s ranty article about the Porn for Women* book is at Jezebel. In this case the author has sent an email to all her friends asking about what porn they like. There’s a bunch of varied responses, most of which are quite cynical, but I had to laugh at this one: I always thought girl porn like Sweet Action was really icky. Like, Read More …
Amidst a flurry of mainstream media articles about porn recently, Press Telegram has a piece about the growing influence of women in the adult industry. The article interviews Jamye Waxman and Candida Royalle as well as Anne Semans from Babeland. Unfortunately the story is short on statistics about how many women are into porn. I guess the Nielsen Netratings statistics of 28% don’t come up easily on Google. My other Read More …
An article by Martha Irvine of AP has popped up in newspapers everywhere in the last couple of days. The article is discussing the sexualization of popular culture, in particular the influence of porn, and it’s main focus is the behaviour of young women. Many agree that the trend has had a particularly strong influence on young women — in some cases, taking shape as an unapologetic (my italics) embracing Read More …
On June 1, 2003 my partner Jane and I launched For The Girls, an erotic site for straight women like ourselves. We pooled together all the good dirty pics and movies we could find, I added a bunch of my articles and stories, and off we went. Our first tour was fairly crappy, and our original credit card processor declared bankruptcy and ran off with all the money a month Read More …
Another adult company has decided to step up to the plate and offer a female-friendly adult film, although it’s probably best described as a “couples movie.” UK-based Jazmin Media has created a film called Kinky Cock Tales. It’s about to be released in the US with the help of Ninn Worx. That’s the company that made the seriously dreadful In The Garden of Shadows, but I won’t hold it against Read More …
I finally added some new stuff to my parody site exexExChurch. If you haven’t been there before, it’s my reply to that ridiculous xxxchuch.com site which receives so much positive publicity from the mainstream media. My site basically asserts that church is addictive and suggests ways to overcome that addiction, primarily through porn and masturbation. It’s amazing how holding up a mirror to an idea can reveal how insane that Read More …
Seems the Sydney Morning Herald is on a roll with the porn. I suspect they’ll be publishing smut stories all week. The first one reports on the results of Alan McKee’s Understanding Pornography in Australia survey which studied 1000 self-selected porn users. What consumers liked about pornography was that it was pleasurable, educational, and re-assuring. Less than 7 per cent said it had a negative effect on their attitudes towards Read More …
This morning’s Sydney Morning Herald and The Age both have two major stories on porn. The first’s headline is One in three porn viewers are women. Adele Horin sites Nielsen Netratings figures about how many Aussies are enjoying online smut (4.3 million in the last month), and says one third are female. Unfortunately, that’s not what the main gist of the article is about. It’s actually a leader into the Read More …
Anne Marie McQueen of the Ottowa Sun has written an article about porn for women called For Her Pleasure. I’m pleased to say that For The Girls gets a mention. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this article all week! The piece discusses the upcoming feminist porn awards with comments from Chanelle Gallant and also profiles Anna Span who says: “Anyone who’s really anti-porn I ask them: ‘Do you have fantasies of Read More …
May is Masturbation Month. Ahead of the upcoming Masturbate-a-thon in the 26th, I thought I’d do a masturbation-themed post with a few recommendations. Below you’ll find a list of masturbation-based adult sites and movies. Adult Sites Red Handed Porn A self-proclaimed “alternaporn” site featuring both men and women getting their own rocks off. There’s plenty of non-standard body types on show as eager exhibitionists show us how they fiddle the Read More …
