Now *That’s* A Review

Thanks again to Tony Comstock for directing me to the Always Aroused Girl and this review of his new film Damon and Hunter: Doing It Together. I just had to laugh at this paragraph: My thoughts were reduced to cave-woman-speak. Porn good. Cock hard. Hard hard cock. MustHaveCock. Mmmmmm porny goodness. ComingcomingcomingBIGorgasm. Short rest. Must come more. ComingcomingcomingANOTHERbigorgasm. Can’t you just see that quoted on the boxcover? It makes me Read More …

My Vanilla Inferiority Complex

Tony Comstock has made an interesting post about “porn for beginners” and quoted bits from this post of mine. He’s agreeing with the idea that people who enjoy “soft” porn shouldn’t be considered as less advanced in their sexuality as those who are more into harder and extreme stuff. I feel the need to elaborate a little more on the topic, with regards to how I personally feel. The thing Read More …

CouplesApproved.com

A new friend of mine has a new blog/review site aimed at both men and women. Couples Approved looks at sites that will interest couples looking to find pleasure on the net together. Most porn is made with a solitary audience in mind. Masturbation, rather than mutual sex play is seen as the ultimate purpose of porn. It’s nice to see people working to offer a different viewpoint.

Joybear Pictures Aims At Female Market

British erotic filmmakers Joybear Pictures is another independent company aiming to include women in their target market. They’ve produced four films so far. Their site contains galleries and short clips from the three Street Heat films, the 2nd and 3rd of which are intended for both sexes. Joybear has been busy conducting their own market research into what women want in porn. They’ve been having “focus evenings” where women are Read More …

Is Catharine McKinnon Human?

The Guardian has a long article and interview with radical feminist Catharine McKinnon. Those of you over the age of 25 will remember her as the Robin to Andrea Dworkin’s Batman during the anti-porn wars of the 1980s. (Actually, that metaphor creates some seriously disturbing images, but I’ll go with it anyway.) McKinnon has released a new book called “Are Women Human?” and in it she goes on fighting her Read More …

“Ebony, Interracial, Latino, Ethnic”… Race and Porn

There’s a new blog out there called Ethnorotica and, from what I’ve read so far, it offers an intelligent, fresh persective on the issue of race and ethnicity in porn. I found myself smiling and nodding along to this paragraph: “I’m stuck choosing between “Ghetto Hoochies” and “Phat Booty Hoes.” No, I’m not even kidding. When I read that shit I wanna grab the neck of the (prolly white) dude Read More …

You Know You’ve Been In Porn Too Long When…

I LOVE lollies. And I’ve long had a sweet tooth for Strawberries and Cream. Normally I don’t buy packets of sweets but I was on holiday at the beach, and thought I’d indulge myself. And thus, I encountered this lovely picture on the back of the plastic packet. Now, we both know what is supposed to be depicted here. Two strawberries are having a cream fight, as they tend to Read More …

Porn reflects US values?

Robert Jensen’s opinion piece The Paradox of Pornography asks a number of important questions. Jensen asks why porn’s extremity and focus on degradation has increased with it’s popularity. He is mainly focusing on the nasty, over-the-top stuff like reality sites that I myself find offensive. Jensen suggests that a lot of men focus on the sexual pleasure involved and tune out any negative messages about degredation or gender. But he Read More …

The Good Porn Film Manifesto

In May last year I wrote What I want to see in photos and video. I wrote it after being subjected to the artcore inanity of In The Garden of Shadows. My list of video requirements included: * If the woman is going to moan, make sure she does it naturally, building to a climax. Don’t let her just go “Nnnnnyeah, nnnnyeah” every 2.6 seconds for the entire movie. * Read More …

Good looking straight male porn stars

I read this comment on a message board today about the general unattractiveness of male porn stars: “There aren’t any decent looking male porn actors and my wife can attest to that. She would love to watch a porn flick with me once in a while if the guys looked as good as the chicks. Guys get to watch Jenna Jameson and girls with beautiful faces and near perfect bodies Read More …
