Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Good porn, bad porn, new developments in the industry, gossip
The alt-porn / New York blog circle are all celebrating Violet Blue’s upcoming article in Oprah Winfrey’s O magazine recommending good porn. Tony Comstock has got a plug, which is bound to do wonders for his sales. Tristan Taormino, Tina Tyler and Audacia Ray also get the thumbs up. What’s surprising is that O magazine should have an article on porn at all. It was only 18 months ago that Read More …
It seems there’s a developing porn industry emerging from New York, and it’s all a bit incestuous in a way. Everybody knows everybody else, and they all seem to star in each other’s movies. Viviane’s Sex Carnival today brought my attention to a new film called Hookin’ Up which is set in New York at an underground dance party. The trailer features lots of normal looking bodies but it’s also Read More …
I’ve made a new AVS site called Pegging Porn. It features pics and movies of heterosexual guys who enjoy bending over while their female partners wield the strap on dildo. The site is aimed at men but I’m sure women who like pegging will enjoy it too. “Pegging” is a relatively recent term, coined by sex columnist Dan Savage. I think it’s nice to have a new word to play Read More …
You know what. I’m gloating. I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it. Porn megastar Jenna Jameson recently underwent vaginoplasty and has now gone into hiding because the job was botched. According to this extremely pro-surgery site: “She underwent a vaginoplasty at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and she is very unhappy,†says a source close to the x-rated film star. “She has decided to hole up and not speak to Read More …
Another day, another survey about teenagers viewing porn. This one is from the University of Alberta and it looks at 13 and 14 year olds from rural areas. Surprise, surprise, one third of boys that age have seen porn. I always look to see what the percentage of females is in these surveys, just as a comparison, and also as an indicator of changing perceptions towards porn among young people. Read More …
I’ve posted about the Eros Association and AdultShop.com challenging the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification before, here, here and here. Now AdultShop is taking their Viva Erotica fight to the federal court, asking that adult films depicting non-violent consensual sex be given an R rating, meaning they can be legally sold everywhere. The CEO has pointed out that community standards had changed since 1984, when they were first 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 …
Oh the horror. This New York times article predicts that porn actresses will have more cosmetic surgery and be even more made up to counter the detail provided by high-definition cameras. Jesse Jane, one of the industry’s biggest stars, plans to go under the knife next month to deal with one side effect of high-definition. The images are so clear that Ms. Jane’s breast implants, from an operation six years Read More …
In the wake of the 2007 AVN awards, I can’t help but feel there should be an adult version of the Golden Raspberries. A ceremony that acknowledges the worst the industry has to offer. Categories for awards could include: Most ridiculous boob job Most botoxed lips Worst acting Most cringeworthy piece of dialogue Fakest moans (subcategories: while giving blowjob, most monotonous) Stomach churning sexual act of the year Biggest hair Read More …
The 2007 AVN Awards have been announced, and it pretty much looks like more of the same. Manhunters, a feature from Wicked Pictures, was named Best Film. It’s by Brad Armstrong, with a label of “action-erotica”, and sounds kind of like an adult version of Charlie’s Angels. I have to say, I’m not in any hurry to watch it. There were also a score of other awards for every kind Read More …
Thanks to Crikey.com for publishing this story that reveals Saddam Hussein’s gruesome hanging video would have got an R rating in Australia, whereas sexually explicit movies “without artistic merit” get an X rating and bans. The Eros Association decries the whole situation as ridiculous, especially in light of their failed attempt to have Viva Erotica passed as an R rated film. Eros’ Fiona Patten says: “The CRB is basically saying Read More …
A while ago I wrote the post Ms Naughty Is About Porn For Women, partly to rant about dropping down the listings in Google, and partly as an attempt to get the search engine’s attention for that particular phrase. I thought I’d bring it up again because over Christmas, Google gave Ms Naughty another big boot up the clacker, and now I’m on page 16. What’s more disturbing is the Read More …
I’m sad to report that Adultshop.com has failed in it’s bid to get the Australian censors to change the laws regarding explicit material. (Here’s my previous post about their legal challenge regarding community standards in Australia.) According to the SMH, the Classification Review Board has ruled that Viva Erotica cannot be rated “R” rather than “X” because it primarily has sex in it, without a plot, and thus has no Read More …
Rawstory reports on a large survey done by the Rutgers Nisso group comparing the sexual behaviour of the Dutch today with that of 15 years ago. Seems that our trusty friends in the Netherlands are not averse to a spot of porn watching, and Dutch women are very keen for it. She found that 80 per cent of men used pornography, with two thirds doing so at least once a Read More …
Another month has whizzed by and thus Playgirl has released yet another movie. It’s getting difficult to keep up – and that’s a good thing. The latest one came out on November 20. Deep Indulgence looks like more of the same Vignette-style porn, lots of nice camerawork and good-looking people. The list of stars is impressive, and includes the scrumptious Julian (I love that tattoo) as well as hunky Jean Read More …
