Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Good porn, bad porn, new developments in the industry, gossip
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 …
Faye Flam at Philly.com reports on the recent results of porn-induced sexual arousal in men and women. You may recall a few weeks ago I posted about this. The researchers found that there’s no statistical difference between the time it takes men and women to become turned on when shown porn. Faye seems astounded that women would even get turned on at all, given that she assumes “women are so Read More …
Oh, the horror of editing badly written sex stories. Never mind the 5273 replacements of “!!!” with a full stop (thanks, find and replace). Never mind the awful spelling, atrocious punctuation or dreadful characterisation. The hardest part is encountering sentences like this: Make no mistake about it, women think about what’s hanging between a man’s legs about as often as men think about the various sizes of women’s boobs. The 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 …
This month I reviewed the mega-budget mainstream porn movie Pirates. I figured that since it’s the most expensive porn movie ever, and since reviewers were saying women would like it, I’d give it a try. It wasn’t bad, I guess, but the sex is extraordinarily formulaic. Actually, this is the first movie where I fast forwarded the sex scenes so I could get to the plot. It was all worth Read More …
A quick visit to the adult Adult DVD Talk forums lead me to this thread about which female porn stars are the most orgasmic on screen. I thought I’d just compile a quick list here for all my readers who are keen to see women coming in porn. Unfortunately, most of the films recommended have classy titles like “Cream Filled Chocolate Holes” but if you don’t have a prob with Read More …
Australian online adult retailer Adultshop.com is challenging the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) as to what constitutes “community standards.” They’ve appealed a decision by the OFLC giving the film Viva Erotica an X rating (which means it can only be sold in the ACT, NT and online). They say the film’s depiction of sex will not offend a “reasonable adult”, which is the criteria for handing out an Read More …
This hunky man has just had an orgasm. Don’t you wish you’d been there? He features in video number 0406 at Beautiful Agony. If you haven’t heard of it before, Beautiful Agony is a very different kind of porn site, one that offers videos of men and women in the throes of orgasm – but you can only see their face. It’s such a unique concept, but it’s surprisingly sexy. Read More …
“While women and couples have finally been acknowledged as a viable segment of porn consumers, the majority of videos marketed to them are plot-driven features. Through my workshops and other travels, I’ve had the opportunity to talk to hundreds of different people. Plenty of men and women tell me that they love all-sex and gonzo videos, but could do without some of the elements of the most popular titles in Read More …
An survey of young Nordic people has found that 99% of all Nordic boys and 86% of girls have seen pornography at least once. The results have been outlined by The Nordic Institute for Women’s Studies and Gender Research at a conference in Oslo. The survey found that the girls were more critical of pornography than the boys, although once the fellas had some sexual experience they started to feel Read More …
Thanks to CAKE, I’ve now seen the uncensored trailer for Shortbus, and it’s quite the ride. I feel the need to embed the video in my own blog. Quite the promo piece. Vibrators, orgies, masturbation, flogging, autofellatio and one helluva strange sexual position that could well be called “the helicopter.” Apparently Shortbus is about one woman’s search for an orgasm. She can’t have them at the beginning, and does her Read More …
I’ve added a Real Lesbian category to the Quirky Sex linklist. Authentic porn made for lesbians and queer women is extremely rare. The only commercial porn site catering to real lesbians is the Cyber Dyke network, a collection of 15 smaller lesbian sites with varying themes from BDSM to foot fetish to glamour. The site is run by lesbian and bi women. Even then, it’s not a hugely commercial venture Read More …
I’m Australian and I’m a bit embarrassed to say that my country has censored Tony Comstock’s excellent “pornomentary” Damon and Hunter, Doing It Together. The film recently screend at a gay film festival in Melbourne and was due to show at QueerDoc in Sydney but the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) deemed the movie was too explicit to be shown in public. Tony has now re-edited the film Read More …

The biggest news in the blogosphere at present is the outing of the Girl With A One Track Mind. The Girl has just had her book published and had expressed concern about losing her anonymity. The Times has tracked her down and published her name. This has meant that The Girl has had to out herself to her family and friends. The whole situation reminds me of Nikki Gemmell and Read More …
