Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Posts relating to porn for women
Phew! Today I spent waaay too much time updating Porn Movies For Women. I’ve actually added a total of 21 new titles to the listing, which is pretty impressive considering it’s only been two months since I last updated it. I created a new page for Kelly Holland’s Chick Media, which last year released four titles including the MySexTherapist series. The first one earned her the Sexiest Straight Film at Read More …
Alison Lee of Canadian adult shop Good For Her has written an extensive article looking at porn for women, the feminist anti-porn movement and her own experiences with porn. It makes for great reading. A snippet: Seeing the world of Big Porn showed me that not only are women left out, but men are presented with an incredibly bland palate to work from and to mold their own sexuality. I Read More …
I’m finally back from my various holiday travels burdened with a toxic liver, extra weight around the middle and not much motivation to work. My new year’s resolutions are typical in some areas: drink less alcohol, exercise more, maybe eat more vegetarian meals each week. Others aren’t what you’d see on your average “to do list”: write a movie script, make a short film or two, maybe travel to the Read More …
And thus, I’m off. I was going to do filler posts for the Christmas/New Year period but I’ve run out of time. So while I’m off at the beach enjoying the festive season, please visit the FTG blog for your regular dose of smut and interesting reading
Another year has flown and once again we’ve seen plenty of highs (and some lows) in the world of porn for women. 2008 saw more acknowledgement of women as consumers of adult material although things haven’t changed as much as I’d like. I would say that the standout for this year has been the huge growth in the visibility and availability of authentic lesbian erotica such as The Crash Pad Read More …
Once again I’ve got a bunch of things to write about and I’m just going to be lazy and bung them all into one post with a nice sexy pic to make it a bit more fun. First – they’re about to release the rejiggered Joy Of Sex. The New York Times has a great article about how the book has aged and it goes into some interesting detail about Read More …
Yesterday I watched Comstock Films‘ latest release Bill and Desiree: Love Is Timeless and even though I’m writing up a proper review of it for For The Girls, I just had to post about it here today. Fact is, this film is incredible. I’ve long admired the work of Tony and Peggy Comstock but I think that their sixth offering is their best. This beautiful documentary gives us one of Read More …
Nominations have opened for the Good For Her Feminist Porn Awards for 2009. Submissions close February 24.
JavaScript is required to view this page. This very cute couple talking about their horny church trek are Jasmine and Lee. They’re one of the amateur couples featured on Australian adult site Girls Out West. I hadn’t paid much attention to this site before but I got talking to photographer Annie after they revamped their tour and I really like what GOW is doing. It’s mainly aimed at men, of Read More …
MSNBC has a relatively balanced article on the rise of female executives within the porn industry. The author goes to a fair bit of effort to point out how women are trying to make porn better. Surprisingly, many women who work in the business say they don’t like porn — at least not the porn that takes up most of the shelf space in adult stores or is downloaded from Read More …
I really don’t know why I haven’t blogged about this before… I was actually bursting to tell the news when I first discovered my story had been accepted into Best Women’s Erotica 2009. But then I wasn’t sure if it was a secret, and then I just never got around to it. I thought I’d wait until the publication date. So anyway, my point is, I have a story in Read More …
It’s taken far too long but I’ve finally posted my video and report of my adventures at the Berlin Porn Film Festival. I was held up waiting for permission and excerpts from some of the films and unfortunately most of those I contacted didn’t reply. It’s a shame because I saw so much talent on display at the festival and I was eager to give those people a bit of Read More …
The New York Times has a two-page feature article about the demise of Playgirl magazine. It features interviews with the three women who edited the mag and gives fairly frank details about what went wrong: So she and her fellow editors, all women in their 20s and all relative neophytes to the world of magazines — and pornography — resolved to fill Playgirl with something different. They aspired to bring Read More …
11am today marked the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I. The above two photos were taken during my trip to France. The first one is the grave of an unknown soldier at the Adelaide Cemetary at Villers-Brettoneux. The second photo was taken at the official Australian memorial amid the fields of the Somme. It shows machine gun damage to one of the monuments, caused when the Nazis Read More …
I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting filmmaker Petra Joy at the Berlin Porn Film Festival and she was just as smart, sassy and fun as I expected her to be. Like many of those I met at the festival, we are very much aligned philosophically; it’s a bit like talking to an old friend, even though it was the first time we’d met in person. The final night of Read More …
